All therefore the generations from Abraham to David [were] generations fourteen and from David until the carrying away to Babylon generations fourteen and from the carrying away to Babylon until the Christ generations fourteen.
18 UJesu Khristu wazalwa kanje: Unina uMariya wayethembise ukuthi uzakwendela kuJosefa kodwa kwathi bengakahlangani wabonakala esezithwele kwenziwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Now of Jesus Christ the (origin *N(k)O*) thus was happening: At the pledging (for *k*) of the mother of Him Mary to Joseph, before than to come together by them she was found in womb [pregnancy] having out of [the] Spirit Holy.
19 Ngoba umkakhe uJosefa wayeyindoda elungileyo emthethweni, njalo engafuni ukumyangisa ebantwini, wacabanga ukumala ngasese.
Joseph now the husband of her, righteous being and not willing her (to disgrace, *N(k)O*) he purposed secretly to send away her.
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.
These things now when he was pondering behold an angel of [the] Lord in a dream appeared to him saying; Joseph son of David, not may you fear to receive Mary [as] the wife of you; that for in her having been conceived from [the] Spirit [which] is Holy.
21 Uzabeletha indodana ozayetha ibizo uthi nguJesu ngoba uzasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.”
She will bear then a son, and you will call the name of Him Jesus; He himself for will save the people of Him from the sins of them.
22 Konke lokhu kwenzakala ukuze kugcwaliseke okwatshiwo yiNkosi ngomphrofethi ukuthi:
This then all has come to pass that may be fulfilled that [which] having been spoken by (the *k*) Lord through the prophet saying;
23 “Intombi egcweleyo izakhulelwa izale indodana, bayibize ngokuthi ngu-Emanuweli” (okutsho ukuthi, “uNkulunkulu ulathi”).
Behold the virgin in womb [pregnancy] will have and she will bear a son, and they will call the name of Him Immanuel, which is being translated; With us God.
24 UJosefa esevukile ebuthongweni wenza lokho ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimlaye khona, wamthatha uMariya waba ngumkakhe.
(Having been awoken *N(k)O*) then Joseph from the sleep he did as he commanded him the angel of [the] Lord; and received the wife of him
25 Kodwa kazange embathe laye waze wabeletha indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguJesu.
and not he was knowing her until that she had brought forth (the *k*) a son (of her firstborn, *K*) and (s)he called the name of Him Jesus.
