In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
18 Hangu ndo Yesu Kristu ntambu yakiwukiti, Mariya mawu gwakuwi Yesu kaweriti kahetitwi na Yosefu. Kumbiti pamberi pa kulikala pamuhera gambira mpalu na mdala, kawonikaniti kana yinda kwa uwezu wa Rohu Mnanagala.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Yosefu mpalu gwakuwi kaweriti kamfiriziya Mlungu, kafiriti ndiri kumlanguziya kwa wantu kuwera kana vidoda, Hangu kafiriti kumleka kwa bada.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 Pakaweriti kankali kankulihola hangu, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamulawira mukulota na kumgambira, “Yosefu mwana gwa Dawudi, nagutira kumtola Mariya kaweri mdala gwaku. Mana kana yinda kwa uwezu wa Rohu Mnanagala.
But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Hakamwiwuli mwana mpalu, nagwenga hagumshemi Yesu, toziya yomberi ndo hakawalopoziyi wantu kulawa muvidoda vyawu.”
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Vinu, vyoseri avi vilawira su viweri nakaka visoweru vyakatakuliti Mtuwa kupitira mbuyi gwa Mlungu,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 “Mwali hakaweri na yinda, hakamwiwuli mwana mpalu na womberi hawamshemi litawu lyakuwi Imanuweri.” Mana yakuwi, “Mlungu kapamuhera na twenga”.
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Su, Yosefu pakimkiti mumpota katenditi gambira vyakamgambiriti ulii ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa, kamtola mdala gwakuwi ukaya.
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 Kumbiti Yosefu waliwoniti ndiri na Mariya mpaka pakamwiwuliti mwana mpalu. Yosefu kamupananiti mwana litawu Yesu.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
