18 Okuzaalibwa kwa Yesu Kristo kwali bwe kuti: Maliyamu nnyina bwe yali ng’akyayogerezebwa Yusufu, era nga tebanaba kufumbiriganwa n’alabika ng’ali lubuto ku bwa Mwoyo Omutukuvu.
Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this: After his mother, Miriam, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Awo Yusufu eyali amwogereza, olwokubanga yali muntu mulungi n’asalawo mu mutima gwe okumuleka, naye ng’ayagala akikole mu kyama aleme kukwasa Maliyamu nsonyi.
Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 Naye bwe yali ng’agalamidde ku kitanda kye ng’akyabirowoozaako, n’afuna ekirooto; n’alaba malayika wa Mukama ng’ayimiridde w’ali, n’amugamba nti, “Yusufu, omwana wa Dawudi, totya kutwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi wo! Kubanga olubuto lw’alina yalufuna ku bwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu.
But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Miriam as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Era alizaala Omwana wabulenzi, olimutuuma erinnya Yesu, (amakulu nti, ‘Omulokozi’) kubanga y’alirokola abantu bonna mu bibi byabwe.”
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Yeshua, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Bino byonna byabaawo kisobole okutuukirira ekyayogerwa Mukama ng’ayita mu nnabbi we ng’agamba nti,
Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Laba omuwala atamanyi musajja aliba olubuto, alizaala omwana wabulenzi, era aliyitibwa Emmanweri.” Amakulu gaalyo nti, “Katonda ali naffe.”
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 Yusufu bwe yazuukuka, n’akola nga Malayika bwe yamulagira, n’atwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi we.

and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Yeshua.
