18 Kuholua kwa Yesu Kilisite kulyale ndiiki. Unguna jonop ilitavua lyake ghwe Maliya, alyalimilue nu Yosefu. Neke ye akyale kutolua alyavoniike kuuti ali nu vukunue ku ngufu sa Mhepo uMwimike.
The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Ulwakuva uYosefu juno alyamulimiile uMaliya alyale mugholofu pamaso gha Nguluve, naakalondagha kuuti ankosie isoni uMaliya. Pe akalamula pikumuleka kisyefu.
But Joseph her husband, being a kind-hearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal.
20 Ye alamwile uluo, unyamhola ghwa mtwa uNguluve akam'bonekela mu njosi, akam'buula akati, “Ghwe Yosefu, ghwe mhuma mu kisina ikya ntwa uDavidi, uleke pikwoghopa pikuntoola uMaliya, uLwakuva uvukunue vuno ali navwo, apelilue mu ngufu sa Mhepo uMwimike.
But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.
21 Neke ipaapa umwana un'diimi, ukumpeela ilitavua ili Yesu, ulwakuva ilikuvapokagha avaanhu vaake mu nyivi saave.”
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name JESUS for He it is who will save His People from their sins."
22 Sooni isio siliyavombiike enendikio kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake kuuti, “
All this took place in fulfilment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet,
23 Lolagha! Umhinja juno naammanyile umughoosi, iiva nu vukunue, ipaapa umwana un'diimi! pe vikumpeela umwana ujuo ilitavua ili Manueli.” Umuluvo ghwa litavua ilio kwekuti, “UNguluve ali palikimo nusue.”
"Mark! The maiden will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call His name Immanuel" --a word which signifies 'God with us'.
24 Yosefu akasisimuka, akavomba ndavule unyamhola ghwa Mutwa vule am'bulile, akantoola uMaliya kuuva n'dala ghwake.
When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife,
25 Looli naakaghelile kughona naghwo kuhanga usinki ghuno uMaliya ipaapa umwana un'diimi. Pe uYosefu akampeela umwana ujuo ilitavua ili Yesu.
but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called JESUS.
