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 Ngakho ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu kwaba nje. Ngoba unina uMariya esegane uJosefa, bengakahlangani wabonakala eselesisu 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 Kodwa uJosefa indoda yakhe engolungileyo, njalo engathandi ukumthela ihlazo, wayefuna ukumala ensitha.
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 Kwathi esanakana lezizinto, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye ephutsheni, esithi: Josefa, ndodana kaDavida, ungesabi ukumthatha uMariya umkakho; ngoba lokho akukhulelweyo kungoMoya 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 njalo uzazala indodana, ubize ibizo layo uthi nguJesu; ngoba yena 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-ke kwenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi ukuthi:
Esiawo katã va eme be, woawu Aƒetɔ ƒe nya si wògblɔ ɖi to Nyagblɔɖila dzi la nu be,
23 Khangela, intombi izathatha isisu ibelethe indodana, njalo bazabiza ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli, okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, 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 Kwathi uJosefa esephapheme ebuthongweni wenza njengalokho ingilosi yeNkosi imlayile, wasethatha umkakhe;
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 amazi waze wabeletha indodana yakhe eyingqabutho; wasebiza ibizo layo wathi nguJesu.
Ke Yosef mede asi eŋu o, va se ɖe esime wòdzi viŋutsuvi la, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Yesu.
