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.
19 Asi nokuda kwokuti Josefa akanga ari munhu akarurama akafunga zvokumuramba chinyararire, asingamunyadzisi pavazhinji.
Ndava Yosefu mngwana wa Maliya avi mundu mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga aganili lepi kumpela soni pavandu ndi aholalili kumleka chamfiyu.
20 Asi achiri kufunga nezvenyaya iyi, mutumwa waIshe akauya kwaari mukurota akasvikoti, “Josefa, mwana waDhavhidhi, usatya kutora Maria somukadzi wako nokuti pamuviri paava napo akapabata nokuda kwesimba raMweya Mutsvene.
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.
21 Achava nomwana mukomana wauchazotumidza zita rokuti Jesu nokuti ndiye achaponesa vanhu vake kubva muzvivi zvavo.”
Yati iveleka mwana mgosi hinu veve yati ukumpela liina Yesu ndava mwenuyu yati akuvasangula vandu kuhuma kumbudila Chapanga wavi.”
22 Izvi zvose zvakaitika kuti zvizadzise zvakanga zvataurwa naIshe kubudikidza nomuprofita wake zvokuti:
Mambu goha ago gahumalili muni kutimilisa malovi ga Bambu geajovili munjila ya mlota wa Chapanga,
23 “Mhandara ichava napamuviri, igozvara mwana mukomana, uye vachamutumidza zita rokuti Emanueri, zvichireva kuti, ‘Mwari anesu.’”
“Yuwanila! Kamwali yati ivya na ndumbu, yati iveleka mwana mgosi, na veve yati ukumpela liina Emanueli.” Mana yaki “Chapanga avi pamonga na tete.”
24 Josefa paakapepuka, akaita sezvaakanga arayirwa nomutumwa waIshe, uye akatora Maria somukadzi wake,
Ndi Yosefu peayumwiki mulugono akitili ngati mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga cheamjovili, akamtola mdala waki na kuhamba nayu kunyumba yaki.
25 asi haana kusangana naye kusvikira azvara mwana mukomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Jesu.
Nambu agonili nayu lepi mbaka Maliya peamveliki mwana mgosi, namwene Yosefu ampeli liina Yesu.
