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 Lino kusemwa kwa Yesu Klistu kwalenshika munshila iyi. Pacindi Maliya banyina Yesu mpobalikuba bamamikilwa kuli Yosefe. Nomba kabatana baya kumalili, Maliya walacanika ne libunda kupitila mu ngofu ya Mushimu Uswepa.
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 Yosefe walikuba muntu walulama, nkalayanda kumusebanya pantangalala, walayeya kupwisha bubambo bwa cikwati kwakubula kwishiba bantu.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 Kaciyeya cakwinsa mungelo wa Mwami Lesa walamubonekela muciloto ne kumwambileti, “Yosefe mwanendi Dafeti kotatina kumumanta Maliya kuba mukashobe, ili libunda ndyakute ni ngofu ya Mushimu Uswepa.
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 Nakatumbuke mwana mutuloba uyo ngoshi mukatumbe lina eti Yesu, pakwinga nakapulushe bantu bakendi ku bwipishi bwabo.”
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 Ibi byalenshika kwalikuba kukwanilisha ncalamba Mwami kumushinshimi kwambeti
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 “Mulindu nakabe ne libunda ne kutumbuka mwana mutuloba uyo eti akakwiweti Emanuele, uku ekwambeti ‘Lesa uli nenjafwe’”
“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 Yosefe mpwalapunduka walensa ncalamwambila mungelo wa Mwami Lesa, walamumanta Maliya kuba mukashendi.
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 Nomba nikukabeco uliya kuya nendi kumalili sobwe mpaka panyuma pakutumbuka mwana mutuloba. Yosefe walamupa Lina eti Yesu.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
