and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the removal to Babylon.

17 Tse ke ditshika di le lesome le metso e le mene mo ditshikeng tse di simololang ka Aberahame go tla go fitlha mo go Kgosi Dafide; le tse di lesome le bone go simolola ka nako ya ga Kgosi Dafide go ya nakong ya go gapelwa kwa Babelona; le tse di lesome le bone go simolola ka nako eo go tla go fitlha mo go Keresete.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the removal to Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 A ke mabaka a boammaaruri a a amanang le botsalo jwa ga Jesu Keresete: Marea mmaagwe, o ne a beeletswe go nyalwa ke Josefa. Mme ya re a sa ntse a le kgarebana, a ithwala ga Mowa o o boitshepo.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Mme Josefa mmeeledi wa gagwe ka a le mosiami, a ikaelela go senya tsholofetso ka tidimalo ka a ne a sa rate go mmaa mo mpepeneneng go mo tlhabisa ditlhong.
Then Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not willing to expose her to shame, purposed to put her away privately.
20 Mme ya re a sa ntse a thantse a akanya ka ga selo se, a thulamela, a lora, mme a bona moengele a eme fa go ene a mo raya a re, “Josefa, morwa Dafide, se etsaetsege go tsaya Marea jaaka mosadi wa gago ka gore ngwana yo o mo rweleng o mo ithwele ka Mowa o o Boitshepo.”
But while he thought on these things, lo! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
21 Mme o tlaa tshola ngwana wa mosimane, mme o tlaa mo raya leina o re Jesu (Ke gore “Mmoloki”). Ka gore o tlaa golola batho ba gagwe mo dibeng tsa bone.
And she will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Mo go tlaa diragatsa molaetsa wa Modimo o o kileng wa anamisiwa ke baporofiti ba one, ba re,
Now all this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Reetsang! Kgarebana e tlaa ithwala ngwana! E tlaa tshola ngwana wa mosimane, mme o tlaa bidiwa ‘Imanuele’.” (Ke gore “Modimo o na le rona”) fa go tlhalosiwa.
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel;” that is, when interpreted, God-is with-us.
24 Erile Josefa a tsoga, a dira jaaka moengele a mo laetse, a isa Maria gae go nna mosadi wa gagwe.
Then Joseph, on waking up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife;
25 Mme a nna a ntse a le kgarebana go fitlhelela morwawe a tsholwa mme Josefa a mo raya leina a re “Jesu.”
and he knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name Jesus.
