So in all there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian resettlement, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian resettlement to the Christ.
18 Chenichi ndi cheavelekiwi Yesu Kilisitu. Maliya nyina wa Yesu, achumbiwi na Yosefu. Nambu vakona vangatama ngati mngwana na mdala, Maliya apatili kuvya na ndumbu kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Ndava Yosefu mngwana wa Maliya avi mundu mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga aganili lepi kumpela soni pavandu ndi aholalili kumleka chamfiyu.
Because her husband Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to shame her publicly, he intended to send her away privately.
20 Peavi akona ihololela lijambu lenilo, Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga amuhumali munjozi na kumjovela, “Yosefu, mwana wa Daudi, ukotoka kuyogopa kumtola Maliya avya mdala waku, muni ndumbu yeavinayu apatili kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
But as he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as yoʋr wife, for the child that is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Yati iveleka mwana mgosi hinu veve yati ukumpela liina Yesu ndava mwenuyu yati akuvasangula vandu kuhuma kumbudila Chapanga wavi.”
She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 Mambu goha ago gahumalili muni kutimilisa malovi ga Bambu geajovili munjila ya mlota wa Chapanga,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
23 “Yuwanila! Kamwali yati ivya na ndumbu, yati iveleka mwana mgosi, na veve yati ukumpela liina Emanueli.” Mana yaki “Chapanga avi pamonga na tete.”
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Ndi Yosefu peayumwiki mulugono akitili ngati mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga cheamjovili, akamtola mdala waki na kuhamba nayu kunyumba yaki.
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took his wife
25 Nambu agonili nayu lepi mbaka Maliya peamveliki mwana mgosi, namwene Yosefu ampeli liina Yesu.
but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
