All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Pa inge luman isusla lun Jesus Christ. Mary, nina kien Jesus, el tuh ako nu sel Joseph, tusruktu meet liki eltal ac payukyak uh, Mary el etauk lah el pitutu ke Ngun Mutal.
And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
19 Joseph el sie mwet suwoswos, tusruktu el tia lungse akmwekinyal Mary ye mutun mwet uh, ke sripa se inge el suk elan tari sel in lukma.
and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
20 Ke el srakna nunku ma inge, sie lipufan lun Leum sikyang nu sel in sie mweme ac fahk, “Joseph, fita lal David, nimet kom sangeng in eisal Mary tuh elan mutan kiom. El pitutuyak ke Ngun Mutal.
And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,
21 El ac fah oswela sie wen, ac kom fah sang inel Jesus — mweyen El ac molela mwet lal liki ma koluk lalos.”
and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'
22 Ma inge nukewa sikyak tuh in akpwayeye kas ma Leum El tuh fahkak ke oalin mwet palu, su fahk,
And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Sie mutan fusr su soenna etu mwet, ac fah pitutuyak ac oswela sie wen, su ac fah pangpang Immanuel” (kalmac pa “God El oasr yorosr”).
'Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us [he is] God.'
24 Ouinge ke Joseph el asmakla, el eisal Mary tuh elan mutan kial, oana ke lipufan lun Leum tuh fahk nu sel.
And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
25 Tusruktu wangin osun laltal in mano meet liki Mary el oswela wen se natul ah. Ac Joseph el sang inel Jesus.
and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
