23 “Mu vone, mwalyango mwave ha menzi mahya, mi mwa zale mwana' shwisu, mi mu va mu sumpe izina lyakwe Imanuere”- i talusa, “Ireza wina neswe.”
“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.”

and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Yeshua.
