17 Awo ntoatoaso a efi Abraham so de besi Ɔhene Dawid so yɛ dunan. Efi Ɔhene Dawid so de besi bere a wɔfaa ɔman no nnommum kɔɔ Babilon no nso awo ntoatoaso yɛ dunan saa ara. Saa ara nso na efi bere a wotu fii Babilon san baa wɔn man mu bio no de besi Kristo awo so nso yɛ awo ntoatoaso dunan.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
18 Sɛnea Yesu Kristo awo ho nsɛm te ni: Wɔde ne na Maria maa Yosef sɛ ɔnware no, nanso ansa na wobehyia mu sɛ awarefo no, ohuu sɛ wanyinsɛn; nea efi Honhom Kronkron.
Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this: After his mother, Miriam, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Ɛbaa saa no, ne kunu Yosef a odi ne ho ni no ampɛ sɛ obegu Maria anim ase nti ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ obegyaa no aware wɔ kokoa mu.
Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 Bere a asɛm no ayɛ Yosef dadwen no, Awurade bɔfo beyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no wɔ dae mu. Ɔbɔfo no kae se, “Yosef, Dawid ba, nsuro sɛ wobɛfa Maria sɛ wo yere efisɛ ne nyinsɛn no fi Honhom Kronkron.
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 Miriam as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Ɔbɛwo ɔbarima na woato no din Yesu, ase ne Agyenkwa, efisɛ ɔno na obegye ne nkurɔfo nkwa afi wɔn bɔne mu.”
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Yeshua, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Eyi nyinaa baa mu de hyɛɛ nea Awurade nam odiyifo no so kae no ma se:
Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Ɔbabun no benyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔato no din Immanuel” a ase ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.”
“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 Bere a Yosef nyan no, ɔyɛɛ sɛnea ɔbɔfo no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Enti ɔkɔfaa Maria baa ne fi ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere.
Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Nanso Yosef ne Maria anhyia da kosii sɛ Maria woo ɔbabarima maa Yosef too ne din “Yesu.”
and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Yeshua.
