17 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo wọ́n jẹ́ ìran mẹ́rìnlá láti orí Abrahamu dé orí Dafidi, ìran mẹ́rìnlá á láti orí Dafidi títí dé ìkólọ sí Babeli, àti ìran mẹ́rìnlá láti ìkólọ títí dé orí Kristi.
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 Bí a ṣe bí Jesu Kristi nìyí, ní àkókò ti àdéhùn ìgbéyàwó ti parí láàrín Maria ìyá rẹ̀ àti Josẹfu, ṣùgbọ́n kí wọn tó pàdé, a rí i ó lóyún láti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
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 Nítorí Josẹfu ọkọ rẹ̀ tí í ṣe olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn kò fẹ́ dójútì í ní gbangba, ó ní èrò láti kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó ro èrò yìí tán, angẹli Olúwa yọ sí i ní ojú àlá, ó wí pé, “Josẹfu, ọmọ Dafidi, má fòyà láti fi Maria ṣe aya rẹ, nítorí oyún tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ni.
And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
21 Òun yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ìwọ yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jesu, nítorí òun ni yóò gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ là kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.”
"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 Gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí sì ṣẹ láti mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣẹ èyí tí a sọ láti ẹnu wòlíì rẹ̀ wá pé:
All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
23 “Wúńdíá kan yóò lóyún, yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Emmanueli,” (èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí “Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú wa”).
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 Nígbà tí Josẹfu jí lójú oorun rẹ̀, òun ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí angẹli Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un. Ó mú Maria wá sílé rẹ̀ ní aya.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 Ṣùgbọ́n òun kò mọ̀ ọ́n títí tí ó fi bí ọmọkùnrin, òun sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jesu.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
