18 Ngakho ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu kwaba nje. Ngoba unina uMariya esegane uJosefa, bengakahlangani wabonakala eselesisu ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Ukhuholiwa khwa Yeisu khwale nde. Umamaye, UMaliya, UYosefu, vu ahilikhe eindanda sakha, vuva khamale ukhutolana pu UMaliya akhavonekha ukhuta aleinonehigo mumakha ga mepo umbalanche.

24 Kwathi uJosefa esephapheme ebuthongweni wenza njengalokho ingilosi yeNkosi imlayile, wasethatha umkakhe;

25 kodwa kazange amazi waze wabeletha indodana yakhe eyingqabutho; wasebiza ibizo layo wathi nguJesu.
