Ale tso Abraham dzi va se ɖe Fia David dzi la, dzidzimeawo katã le wuiene, eye tso Fia David ŋɔli va se ɖe esime woɖe aboyo Israel yi Babilonia la, dzidzimeawo le wuiene, nenema ke tso aboyomenɔɣi va se ɖe Kristo dzi hã le dzidzime wuiene.
18 UJesu Khristu wazalwa kanje: Unina uMariya wayethembise ukuthi uzakwendela kuJosefa kodwa kwathi bengakahlangani wabonakala esezithwele kwenziwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Yesu Kristo dzidzi va yi ale: Wodo Maria, Yesu dada ŋugbe na Yosef be wòaɖe, gake hafi woava kpe la, wokpɔ be Maria fɔ fu to Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la me.
19 Ngoba umkakhe uJosefa wayeyindoda elungileyo emthethweni, njalo engafuni ukumyangisa ebantwini, wacabanga ukumala ngasese.
Azɔ Yosef, ame si wodo eƒe ŋugbe na la nye nuteƒewɔla, eya ta medi be yeado ŋukpe Maria le dutoƒo o; eɖoe be yeagbee le adzame.
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.
Ke esi wònɔ nu siawo ŋu bum la, mawudɔla aɖe ɖe eɖokui fiae le drɔ̃eƒe, yɔe gblɔ nɛ be, “Yosef, David ƒe vi, mègavɔ̃ srɔ̃wò Maria kpɔkplɔ be wòava nɔ gbɔwò o, elabena fu si wòfɔ la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la mee wòtso.
21 Uzabeletha indodana ozayetha ibizo uthi nguJesu ngoba uzasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.”
Adzi ŋutsuvi, eye nàna ŋkɔe be Yesu, elabena eyae aɖe eƒe amewo tso woƒe nu vɔ̃wo me.”
22 Konke lokhu kwenzakala ukuze kugcwaliseke okwatshiwo yiNkosi ngomphrofethi ukuthi:
Esiawo katã va eme be, woawu Aƒetɔ ƒe nya si wògblɔ ɖi to Nyagblɔɖila dzi la nu be,
23 “Intombi egcweleyo izakhulelwa izale indodana, bayibize ngokuthi ngu-Emanuweli” (okutsho ukuthi, “uNkulunkulu ulathi”).
“Ɖetugbi si menya ŋutsu o la afɔ fu, eye wòadzi ŋutsuvi, eye woayɔ eƒe ŋkɔ be, Imanuel” (si gɔmee nye, “Mawu li kpli mí”).
24 UJosefa esevukile ebuthongweni wenza lokho ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimlaye khona, wamthatha uMariya waba ngumkakhe.
Esi Yosef nyɔ la, ewɔ ɖe mawudɔla la ƒe gbe dzi, eye wòyi ɖakplɔ Maria va eƒe aƒe mee abe srɔ̃a ene.
25 Kodwa kazange embathe laye waze wabeletha indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguJesu.
Ke Yosef mede asi eŋu o, va se ɖe esime wòdzi viŋutsuvi la, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Yesu.
