18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Yelei ni iŵatite pakupagwa Che Yesu Kilisito, che Maliamu, achikulugwe, ŵaliji atomelwe ni che Yusufu. Nambo akanaŵe kuwonegana mpela mundu ni ŵankwakwe, che Maliamu ŵalisimene ali ŵapachiilu kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Nombe che Yusufu ŵankwakwe pakuŵa ŵaliji mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu nganasaka kwachembulusya che Maliamu pa ŵandu, ŵasachile kwaleka pangaimanyilila ŵandu.
20 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 Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Nombewo paŵaliji aninkuganisya yeleyo, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵankopochele mu sagamisi, ŵansalile, “Che Yusufu mwana ju che Daudi nkajogopa kwajigala che Maliamu kuŵa ŵankwenu, ligongo ali ŵapachiilu kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
Chaligopole mwanache jwannume nomwe chimwape liina lyakwe Che Yesu, pakuŵa jwelejo ni juchiŵakulupusye ŵandu ŵakwe mu sambi syao.”
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Nipele yoseyo yakopochele kuti liŵe isyene, liloŵe lya Ambuje liŵaŵechete kwa litala lya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu achitiji,
23 “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.”
“Mwalimwalipe chaŵe jwapachiilu, chaligopole mwanache jwannume, nombewo chachaŵilanga Emanueli” malumbo gakwe, “Akunnungu ali pamo ni uwe.”
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Nombe che Yusufu paŵajimwiche, ŵatesile ilaila iŵatite pakusala katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje, ŵanjigele che Maliamu ŵankwawo ni kwaulanawo kumangwao.
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
Nambo nganawonegana nawo mpaka che Maliamu paŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume. Nombe che Yusufu ŵampele liina lyakwe Che Yesu.
