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.
Thus all the generations from Abraham to David (were) fourteen generations; and from David to the exile of Bobel, fourteen generations; and from the exile of Bobel to the Meshicha, 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 nativity of Jeshu the Meshicha was thus: While Mariam his mother was betrothed to Jauseph, before they could be consociated, she was found to be with child from the Spirit of Holiness.
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.
But Jauseph her husband was just, and, not willing to defame her, meditated privately to release her.
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 (on) these (things) he reflected, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him, Jauseph, son of David, fear not to take Mariam thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is from the Spirit of Holiness.
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.
She shall give birth to a son, and thou shalt call his name JESHU; for he shall 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 was done, that what was spoken from the Lord by the prophet might be fulfilled:
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, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth the son, and they shall call his name Amanuel; which is interpreted, With us (is) our Aloha.
24 Erile Josefa a tsoga, a dira jaaka moengele a mo laetse, a isa Maria gae go nna mosadi wa gagwe.
Then Jauseph, when he had arisen from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto 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 knew her not until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn; and she called his name Jeshu.
