The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Omulume wae Yusufu aliga munu mulengelesi atendele kumuswasha abhwelu. Alamuye okubhusiga obhuko obhwo kwo bhwitebhe.
But Joseph her husband, being a kind-hearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal.
20 Anu aliga acheganilisha ingulu ya magambo ago, Maraika wa Nyamuanga namubhonekela mu chiloto naika, Yusufu mwende Daudi utajakubhaya okumugega Mariamu kuti mugasi wao kulwokubha inda inu alinayo ni kulwo bhuturo bhwo Mwoyo mweru.
But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.
21 Kaja okwibhula omwana we chilume umubhilikile lisina lyae Yesu, kulwokubha niwe kaja okubhachungula abhanu bhae ne bhibhibhi byebwe
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name JESUS for He it is who will save His People from their sins."
22 Gona ganu gasokana okukumisha jinu jaikilwe na Nyamuanga ku njila yo mulagi naika,
All this took place in fulfilment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet,
23 Lola omuyala aligega inda no kwibhula omwana mulume na bhalimubhilikila lisina lyae Imanuel insonga yendemo Nyamuanga amwi neswe.
"Mark! The maiden will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call His name Immanuel" --a word which signifies 'God with us'.
24 Yusufu emukile okusoka muntilo nakola kutyo Malaika wa Nyamuanga kutyo amulagilie na amugegele kuti mugasi wae.
When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife,
25 Kulwejo nolo jabhee kutyo atamamile nage katungu kone okukinga ao ebhulie omwana we chilume namubhilikila lisina lyae Yesu.
but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called JESUS.
