18 Kumanti Yisa Kristi wadi nafo nengenari. Unene Maremu wa yiinnin aba su ilugma nin Yusufu, a na isa su ilugma ba iseghe nin liburin in Fip Kutellẹ.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place as follows: His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but, before the marriage took place, she found herself to be with child by the power of the Holy Spirit.
19 Ulesse Yusufu wadi unan fiu Kutellẹ, na awa di nin su a nighe ncin nan nya nanit ba. Bara nani awa di nin su asughe likire.
Her husband, Joseph, was a religious man and, being unwilling to expose her to contempt, resolved to put an end to their betrothal privately.
20 Na awa di kpilizu ni leli imone, unan kadura Kutellẹ da kitime nan nya namoro, aworo, YUsufu, uusaun Dauda, na uwa lanza fiu in woru uyiru Maremu ku a so uwanife ba, bara fisudu fo na fidi nanya liburi me unuzu kitin Ruhu ulauwari.
He had been dwelling upon this, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
21 Ama maru gono, uma yichu lisame Yisa, bara amma tuchu anit me nanya nalapi mine.”
She shall give birth to a son; and you shall give him the name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Vat nilele wase bara inan kulo imon ile na Cikilari wa belli nnu nanan liru nin nu me, a woro.
All this happened in fulfilment of these words of the Lord in the Prophet, where he says —
23 “Yenen kubura ma ti liburi kumaru gono, ima yicu lisame immanuel, uninare Kutellẹ ligowe nan ghirik.”
‘Behold! the virgin shall be with child and shall give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel’ — a word which means ‘God is with us.’
24 Yusufu fita nanyan moro me asu nafo na unan kaduran Cikilare na bellinghe, ayira Maremmu ku aso uwanime.
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.
25 Nanya nani iwa so lisosin nless nin wanii, na izuro ba udu kubi kongo na awa maru. A na lisan gone Yisa.
He made Mary his wife, but did not live with her as her husband until after the birth of her son; and to this son he gave the name Jesus.
