17 Neco, kufuma pali Abulahamu kushika pali Mwami Dafeti, palikuba misemano likumi ne ina, kayi kufuma pali Mwami Dafeti kushika pacindi bana ba Isilayeli mpobalamantwa busha kuya ku Babulo, napo palikuba misemano likumi ne ina, kayi kufuma pacindi ca kumantwa busha ku Babulo kushika pacindi ca Klistu, napo palikuba misemano likumi ne ina.
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal to the Christ, fourteen generations.
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.
And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
19 Yosefe walikuba muntu walulama, nkalayanda kumusebanya pantangalala, walayeya kupwisha bubambo bwa cikwati kwakubula kwishiba bantu.
and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
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.
And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit,
21 Nakatumbuke mwana mutuloba uyo ngoshi mukatumbe lina eti Yesu, pakwinga nakapulushe bantu bakendi ku bwipishi bwabo.”
and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Ibi byalenshika kwalikuba kukwanilisha ncalamba Mwami kumushinshimi kwambeti
And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
23 “Mulindu nakabe ne libunda ne kutumbuka mwana mutuloba uyo eti akakwiweti Emanuele, uku ekwambeti ‘Lesa uli nenjafwe’”
“Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 Yosefe mpwalapunduka walensa ncalamwambila mungelo wa Mwami Lesa, walamumanta Maliya kuba mukashendi.
And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
25 Nomba nikukabeco uliya kuya nendi kumalili sobwe mpaka panyuma pakutumbuka mwana mutuloba. Yosefe walamupa Lina eti Yesu.
and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
