17 Ngakho izizukulwana zonke ezisukela kuAbrahama zisiya kuDavida ziyizizukulwana ezilitshumi lane; lezisukela kuDavida ziye ekuthunjelweni eBhabhiloni ziyizizukulwana ezilitshumi lane; lezisukela ekuthunjelweni eBhabhiloni ziye kuKristu ziyizizukulwana ezilitshumi lane.

18 Ngakho ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu kwaba nje. Ngoba unina uMariya esegane uJosefa, bengakahlangani wabonakala eselesisu ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Kubhelekwa kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu pukwaliji nnei, a Malia anyinabhabho a Yeshu, bhali muntemela na a Yoshepu, bhakanabhe gwabhala gubhaabhweni a Malia bhali na shitumbo kwa komboywa naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
19 Kodwa uJosefa indoda yakhe engolungileyo, njalo engathandi ukumthela ihlazo, wayefuna ukumala ensitha.
Pabha a Yoshepu bhashinkubha bhanguja bhakapinjileje kutokomaya ntemela gwabho, kwa nneyo gubhapinjile kwaaleka kwa nng'iyo.
20 Kwathi esanakana lezizinto, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye ephutsheni, esithi: Josefa, ndodana kaDavida, ungesabi ukumthatha uMariya umkakho; ngoba lokho akukhulelweyo kungoMoya oNgcwele;
Bhali nkuganishiya genego, nnugono malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhakoposhele nng'agamii alinkuti, “A Yoshepu bha ulongo gwa a Daudi, nnajogope kwaatola a Malia bhabhe akongobhenu, pabha Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ni abhatendile bhabhe na shitumbo.
21 njalo uzazala indodana, ubize ibizo layo uthi nguJesu; ngoba yena uzasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.
Shibhakole mwana jwannume, shimunsheme lina lyakwe Yeshu, pabha jwenejo apinga tapula bhandu bhakwe na yambi yabhonji.”
22 Konke lokhu-ke kwenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi ukuthi:
Genego gashinkukoposhela nkupinga limalile lilobhe libhalugwile Bhakulungwa kuka nkulondola jwabho,
23 Khangela, intombi izathatha isisu ibelethe indodana, njalo bazabiza ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli, okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, uNkulunkulu ulathi.
“Nng'ishana shakole shitumbo, shankole mwana jwannume, shibhanshemanje lina lyakwe Manueli,” malombolelo gakwe, “A Nnungu pamo na uwe”.
24 Kwathi uJosefa esephapheme ebuthongweni wenza njengalokho ingilosi yeNkosi imlayile, wasethatha umkakhe;
Kwa nneyo, a Yoshepu bhakajumusheje gubhatendile malinga shibhalugulilwe naka malaika jula, gubhaatolile a Malia kubha akongobhabho.
25 kodwa kazange amazi waze wabeletha indodana yakhe eyingqabutho; wasebiza ibizo layo wathi nguJesu.
Bhakaamanyiji akongobhabho a Malia mpaka bhakankoleje mwana jwannume. Na a Yoshepu gubhanshemile lina lyakwe, Yeshu.
