Ta haka akwai zuriya goma sha huɗu ke nan duka-duka daga lokacin Ibrahim zuwa lokacin Dawuda, goma sha huɗu kuma daga Dawuda zuwa bauta a Babilon, goma sha huɗu kuma daga bauta a Babilon zuwa Kiristi.
18 UJesu Khristu wazalwa kanje: Unina uMariya wayethembise ukuthi uzakwendela kuJosefa kodwa kwathi bengakahlangani wabonakala esezithwele kwenziwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Ga yadda haihuwar Yesu Kiristi ta kasance. An yi alkawarin auren mahaifiyarsa Maryamu, ga Yusuf. Amma tun kafin su zama miji da mata, sai aka tarar Maryamu tana da ciki, ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
19 Ngoba umkakhe uJosefa wayeyindoda elungileyo emthethweni, njalo engafuni ukumyangisa ebantwini, wacabanga ukumala ngasese.
Yusuf mijinta, da yake shi mai adalci ne, bai so yă ba ta kunya, yă tone mata asiri a fili ba, sai ya yi tunani yă sake ta a ɓoye.
20 Uthe esekucabangile lokhu, kwafika kuye ingilosi yeNkosi ephutsheni yathi, “Josefa ndodana kaDavida, ungesabi ukuthatha uMariya ukuba abe ngumkakho ngoba lokhu akhulelwe ngakho kuvela kuMoya oNgcwele.
Amma yana cikin wannan tunani, sai wani mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana masa cikin mafarki ya ce, “Yusuf ɗan Dawuda, kada ka ji tsoron ɗaukan Maryamu zuwa gidanka a matsayin matarka, gama cikin nan nata, daga wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki ne.
21 Uzabeletha indodana ozayetha ibizo uthi nguJesu ngoba uzasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.”
Za tă haifi ɗa, za ka kuma sa masa suna Yesu, gama shi ne zai ceci mutanensa daga zunubansu.”
22 Konke lokhu kwenzakala ukuze kugcwaliseke okwatshiwo yiNkosi ngomphrofethi ukuthi:
Duk wannan ya faru ne, don a cika abin da Ubangiji ya faɗi ta bakin annabin cewa,
23 “Intombi egcweleyo izakhulelwa izale indodana, bayibize ngokuthi ngu-Emanuweli” (okutsho ukuthi, “uNkulunkulu ulathi”).
“Ga shi budurwa za tă yi ciki, za tă haifi ɗa, kuma za a kira shi Immanuwel” (wanda yake nufin “Allah tare da mu”).
24 UJosefa esevukile ebuthongweni wenza lokho ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimlaye khona, wamthatha uMariya waba ngumkakhe.
Da Yusuf ya farka daga barci, sai ya bi umarnin mala’ikan Ubangiji, ya ɗauki Maryamu zuwa gida a matsayin matarsa.
25 Kodwa kazange embathe laye waze wabeletha indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguJesu.
Amma bai kwana da ita ba, sai bayan da ta haifi ɗan. Ya kuwa sa masa suna Yesu.
