18 Now the birth, of [Jesus] Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, —before they came together, she was found with child by [the] Holy Spirit.
Kuzyalwa kwa Jesu Kkilisito kwaka chitika munzila itobela. Banyina, Meli bakatangilwakuti bakwatwe a Jozefu, pesi kabatana kuswanana, wakajanika kuti wakali mintide kumuuya uusalala.
19 Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her, —intended, privately, to divorce her.
Pesi Jozefu, mulumi wakwe, wakali mwalumi ululeme alimwi tewakayanda kumufwisya bweeme pe chaantanganana, aboobo wakayeya kumuleka chuumunizi akusiya chizuminano chabo.
20 But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, —Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of [the], Holy, Spirit.
Awo mpakali kuyeeya ezi zintu, mungelo wa Mwami wakaboneka kulinguwe muchiloto, waamba kuti, “Jozefu mwana wa Devidi, utayowi pe kubweza Meli kuti abe mwanakazi wako, nkambo oyo umintidwe mulinguwe umintidwe a Muuya Uusalala.
21 Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, —for, he, will save his people from their sins.
Uyozyala mwana mulombe, alimwi uyomuzika izina lyakuti ngu Jesu, nkambo uyofutula bantu bakwe kuzwa kuzibi zyabo.”
22 But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:
Zyonseezi zyakachitika kuzuzikizya zyakaambwa a Mwami kwinda kubasinsiimi, wamba wati,
23 Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, —and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.
“Amubone, ooyo musimbi uzominta uzotumbuka mwana mulombe, mpawo izina lyakwe bazomuzika kuti ngu Imanuwele” - elyo lipandululwa kutegwa, “Leza ulandiswe.
24 And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, —and took unto him his wife;
Jozefu wakabuka kuzwa kukoona kwakwe wachita mbuli mungelo wa Mwami mbakamulayilila, mpawo wakamubweza waba mwanakazi wakwe.
25 and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, —and he called his name Jesus.
Pesi takwepe nakamuziba kusika watumbuka mwana mulombe. Elyo wakamuzika izina kuti ngu Jesu.
