18 UJesu Khristu wazalwa kanje: Unina uMariya wayethembise ukuthi uzakwendela kuJosefa kodwa kwathi bengakahlangani wabonakala esezithwele kwenziwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Ga yadda haihuwar Yesu Almasihu ta kasance. Mahaifiyarsa, Maryamu, tana tashi da Yusufu, amma kafin su yi aure, sai aka same ta da juna biyu ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
19 Ngoba umkakhe uJosefa wayeyindoda elungileyo emthethweni, njalo engafuni ukumyangisa ebantwini, wacabanga ukumala ngasese.
Mijinta, Yusufu, adalin mutum ne, amma ba ya so ya kunyatar da ita a sarari. Sai ya yi shawara ya sake ta a asirce.
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.
Yana cikin tunanin wadannan al'amura, sai mala'ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana gareshi a mafarki, ya ce masa, “Yusufu, dan Dauda, kada ka ji tsoron daukar Maryamu a matsayin matarka. Gama abinda ke cikinta, ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki aka same shi.
21 Uzabeletha indodana ozayetha ibizo uthi nguJesu ngoba uzasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.”
Za ta haifi Da, za ka kira sunansa Yesu, domin za ya ceci mutanensa daga zunubansu.”
22 Konke lokhu kwenzakala ukuze kugcwaliseke okwatshiwo yiNkosi ngomphrofethi ukuthi:
Duk wannan ya faru ne domin a cika abinda aka fada ta bakin annabin, cewa,
23 “Intombi egcweleyo izakhulelwa izale indodana, bayibize ngokuthi ngu-Emanuweli” (okutsho ukuthi, “uNkulunkulu ulathi”).
“Duba, budurwa za ta sami juna biyu sannan za ta haifi da, za su kira sunansa Immanuel”-ma'ana, “Allah tare da mu.”
24 UJosefa esevukile ebuthongweni wenza lokho ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimlaye khona, wamthatha uMariya waba ngumkakhe.
Yusufu ya farka daga barci, ya yi kamar yadda mala'ikan Ubangiji ya umarce shi, sai ya dauke ta a matsayin matarsa.
25 Kodwa kazange embathe laye waze wabeletha indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguJesu.
Amma Yusufu bai sadu da ita ba sai bayan da ta haifi da. Ya kira sunansa Yesu.
