So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the exile to Babylon is fourteen; and from the exile to Babylon to Christ is fourteen.
18 Kuzaliwa kwa Yesu Kristo kulikuwa kwa namna hii. Mama yake, Mariamu, alichumbiwa na Yusufu, lakini kabla hawajakutana, alionekana kuwa na mimba kwa uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Mume wake Yusufu, alikuwa mtu mwenye haki hakutaka kumwaibisha hadharani. Aliamua kusitisha uchumba wake naye kwa siri.
But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 Alipokuwa akifikiri juu ya mambo haya, Malaika wa Bwana alimtokea katika ndoto, akisema,'' Yusufu mwana wa Daudi, usiogope kumchukua Mariamu kama mkeo, kwa sababu mimba aliyonayo ni kwa uweza wa Roho Mtakatifu.
And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
21 Atajifungua mtoto wa kiume na utamwita jina lake Yesu, kwa maana atawaokoa watu wake na dhambi zao.''
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Yote haya yalitokea kutimizwa kile kilichonenwa na Bwana kwa njia ya nabii, akisema,
All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
23 “Tazama, bikira atachukua mimba na kuzaa mtoto wa kiume, na watamwita jina lake Imanueli”— maana yake, “Mungu pamoja nasi.”
Behold! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "God with us."
24 Yusufu aliamka kutoka usingizini na kufanya kama malaika wa Bwana alivyomwamuru na alimchukua kama mkewe.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 Hata hivyo, hakulala naye mpaka alipojifungua mtoto wa kiume na alimwita jina lake Yesu.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
