Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Yosefe walikuba muntu walulama, nkalayanda kumusebanya pantangalala, walayeya kupwisha bubambo bwa cikwati kwakubula kwishiba bantu.
Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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 when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Nakatumbuke mwana mutuloba uyo ngoshi mukatumbe lina eti Yesu, pakwinga nakapulushe bantu bakendi ku bwipishi bwabo.”
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Ibi byalenshika kwalikuba kukwanilisha ncalamba Mwami kumushinshimi kwambeti
Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which 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 shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 Yosefe mpwalapunduka walensa ncalamwambila mungelo wa Mwami Lesa, walamumanta Maliya kuba mukashendi.
Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Nomba nikukabeco uliya kuya nendi kumalili sobwe mpaka panyuma pakutumbuka mwana mutuloba. Yosefe walamupa Lina eti Yesu.
and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
