16 Jakob loh Mary kah a va Joseph a sak. Anih lamloh Khrih la a khue Jesuh a sak.
then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Te dongah Abraham lamloh David duela a khongla khong hlaili tih, David lamloh Babylonla a puennah duela khong hlaili, Babylonla a puennah lamloh Khrih duela boeih ah khong hlaili lo.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Jesuh Khrih kah rhuirhong khaw ana om tangloeng. A manu Mary he Joseph hamla a bae dae a om rhoi hlan ah Mueihla Cim loh bungvawn la a om sak te a ming.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 A va Joseph tah aka duengla om tih anih te yan ham a ngaih pawt dongah toeng hamla duem cai.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 He a poek vaengah, boeipa kah puencawn loh anih taengla a mang ah pakcak a phoe pah tih, “David capa Joseph Mary te na yuula loh ham rhih boeh, anih a vawn he Mueihla Cim rhangnen ni,”.
But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Capa a cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh na sui ni. Anih long tah a pilnam te a tholh khui lamloh a khang ni.
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 Tonghma lamlong khaw, “Oila te bungvawn la om vetih capa a cun ni, a ming tah Emmanuel la a khue uh ni he. Te tah mamih taengah aka om Pathen ni a thuingaih,” a ti nah.
“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.
24 Joseph tah a ih kung lamkah a thoh vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn loh anih a uen bangla a ngai tih a yuu te a loh.
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
