18 Zao ty nisamahañe Iesoà: ie vinorovoro’ i Josefe ty rene’e naho mbe tsy niolora’e, le tendreke t’ie nivesatse añamy Arofo-Masiñey.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place as follows: His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but, before the marriage took place, she found herself to be with child by the power of the Holy Spirit.
19 Ondaty vañoñe t’i Josefe vali’ey, ie tsy te hindre-toboke ama’e ndra ty hampiborake aze ho salareñe, ndra ty hamahots’ aze havetrake, le nisafirie’e ty hañetake aze.
Her husband, Joseph, was a religious man and, being unwilling to expose her to contempt, resolved to put an end to their betrothal privately.
20 Ie nitsakore izay an-trok’ ao, intoy ty anjely nisodehañe ama’e ami’ty nofy, nanao ty hoe: O Josefe, ana’ i Davide, ko marimariha’o ty handrambe i Marie vali’o amy te nampiareñe’ i Arofo Masiñey i ama’ey.
He had been dwelling upon this, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
21 Hisamake ana-dahy re naho hatao’o Iesoà ty añara’e, amy te ie ty handrombake ondatikoo amo hakeo’ iareoo.
She shall give birth to a son; and you shall give him the name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Nanoeñe iaby izay hañeneke ty nampanokira’ Iehovà i mpitokiy ami’ty hoe:
All this happened in fulfilment of these words of the Lord in the Prophet, where he says —
23 Inao, miareñe i somondraray naho hisama-dahy, vaho hatao’ areo Imanoela, toe Andrianañahare Amantika, ty tahina’e.
‘Behold! the virgin shall be with child and shall give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel’ — a word which means ‘God is with us.’
24 Nivañoñe amy firota’ey amy zao t’i Josefe le nanoe’e iaby i namantoha’ i anjeli’ Iehovày azey vaho rinamb’e i vali’ey.
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.
25 Fe tsy niolora’e ampara’ te nisamake i tañoloñoloña’ey vaho nanoe’e Iesoà ty añara’e.
He made Mary his wife, but did not live with her as her husband until after the birth of her son; and to this son he gave the name Jesus.
