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.
Sɛnea Yesu Kristo awo ho nsɛm te ni: Wɔde ne na Maria maa Yosef sɛ ɔnware no, nanso ansa na wobehyia mu sɛ awarefo no, ohuu sɛ wanyinsɛn; nea efi Honhom Kronkron.
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.
Ɛbaa saa no, ne kunu Yosef a odi ne ho ni no ampɛ sɛ obegu Maria anim ase nti ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ obegyaa no aware wɔ kokoa mu.
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.
Bere a asɛm no ayɛ Yosef dadwen no, Awurade bɔfo beyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no wɔ dae mu. Ɔbɔfo no kae se, “Yosef, Dawid ba, nsuro sɛ wobɛfa Maria sɛ wo yere efisɛ ne nyinsɛn no fi Honhom Kronkron.
21 Era alizaala Omwana wabulenzi, olimutuuma erinnya Yesu, (amakulu nti, ‘Omulokozi’) kubanga y’alirokola abantu bonna mu bibi byabwe.”
Ɔbɛwo ɔbarima na woato no din Yesu, ase ne Agyenkwa, efisɛ ɔno na obegye ne nkurɔfo nkwa afi wɔn bɔne mu.”
22 Bino byonna byabaawo kisobole okutuukirira ekyayogerwa Mukama ng’ayita mu nnabbi we ng’agamba nti,
Eyi nyinaa baa mu de hyɛɛ nea Awurade nam odiyifo no so kae no ma se:
23 “Laba omuwala atamanyi musajja aliba olubuto, alizaala omwana wabulenzi, era aliyitibwa Emmanweri.” Amakulu gaalyo nti, “Katonda ali naffe.”
“Ɔbabun no benyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔato no din Immanuel” a ase ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.”
24 Yusufu bwe yazuukuka, n’akola nga Malayika bwe yamulagira, n’atwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi we.
Bere a Yosef nyan no, ɔyɛɛ sɛnea ɔbɔfo no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Enti ɔkɔfaa Maria baa ne fi ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere.
25 Naye Yusufu n’atamumanya okutuusa lwe yamala okuzaala Omwana. Yusufu n’amutuuma erinnya Yesu.
Nanso Yosef ne Maria anhyia da kosii sɛ Maria woo ɔbabarima maa Yosef too ne din “Yesu.”
