Belekwa kwa Yesu Kristo kwabile nyonyo, Mao bake, Mariamu, achumbilwe ni Yusufu, lakini babi bado gonja pamope, abonekine kubi ni ndumbo kwa uwezo ba Roho mtakatifu.
19 Ɛbaa saa no, ne kunu Yosef a ɔdi ne ho ni no ampɛ sɛ ɔbɛgu Maria anim ase enti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛgyaa no awadeɛ kɔkoam.
Nchengo bake, Yusufu, abile mundu wa Nnongo apendi kwaa kumpeya oni. Amweni anneka kwa siri.
20 Ɛberɛ a asɛm no ayɛ Yosef dadwene no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ bɛyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no daeɛ mu. Ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yosef, Dawid aseni, nnyae Maria awadeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, ne nyinsɛn no firi Honhom Kronkron.
Pabilekagawaza kunani makowe ago, Malaika ba Ngwana ampili mundoto, kakoya, “Yusufu mwana wa Daudi, kana uyogope kuntola Mariamu kuba nnyumbo bako, kwa sababu ndumbo abi nayo ni kwa uweza wa Roho mtakatifu.

Ngoti yega yapitike kamirisha chelo sabakilwe kwa ndela ya manabii, kakoya,
23 “Ɔbaabunu no bɛnyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔato no edin Immanuel” a aseɛ ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.”
