12 Pea hili hono fetuku ʻakinautolu ki Papilone, pea tupu ʻia Sekonaia ʻa Saletili; pea tupu ʻia Saletili ʻa Solopēpeli;
And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,

and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
17 Pea ko e toʻutangata kotoa pē meia ʻEpalahame ʻo aʻu kia Tevita ko e toʻutangata ʻe hongofulu ma fā; pea meia Tevita ʻo aʻu ki he fetuku ki Papilone ko e toʻutangata ʻe hongofulu ma fā; pea mei he fetuku ki Papilone ʻo aʻu ki he Kalaisi ko e toʻutangata ʻe hongofulu ma fā.
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Pea naʻe pehē ʻae ʻaloʻi ʻo Sisu Kalaisi: Kuo fakanofo ʻene faʻē ko Mele kia Siosefa, pea teʻeki ai te na feʻiloaki, kae ʻiloange, kuo feitama ia ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
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 Pea ko Siosefa ko hono husepāniti, ko e tangata angatonu, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi hono loto ke talaki fakahā ia, ka naʻa ne tokanga ke tukuange fakafufū pe ia.
and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
20 Kae lolotonga ʻene fifili ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻiloange, kuo hā mai kiate ia ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he misi, ʻo ne pehē, “Siosefa, foha ʻo Tevita, ʻoua te ke manavahē ke maʻu ʻa Mele ko ho uaifi: he ko ia kuo fakatupu ʻiate ia ʻoku mei he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,
21 Pea te ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, pea te ke ui hono huafa, ko SISU: ko ia ia te ne fakamoʻui hono kakai mei heʻenau ngaahi angahala.”
and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'
22 Pea naʻe fai ʻeni kotoa pē koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻEiki ʻi he palōfita, ʻo pehē,
And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Vakai, ʻe feitama ʻae tāupoʻou, pea ʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, pea ʻe ui hono huafa, ko ʻImanuela:” ko hono ʻuhinga “Ko e ʻOtua ʻiate kitautolu.”
'Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us [he is] God.'
24 Pea kuo tuʻu hake ʻa Siosefa mei he mohe, pea fai ʻe ia ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki kiate ia, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa hono uaifi:
And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
25 Ka naʻe ʻikai te na feʻiloaki kaeʻoua ke ʻaloʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene ʻuluaki tama: pea ne ui hono huafa ko SISU.
and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
