As he thought about these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, because the one who is conceived in her is conceived by the Holy Spirit.
21 Uye achabereka Mwanakomana, uye uchatumidza zita rake Jesu, nokuti iye achaponesa vanhu vake pazvivi zvavo.
She will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 Zvino zvese izvozvi zvakaitwa kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe kubudikidza nemuporofita achiti:
All this happened to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 Tarira, mhandara ichava nemimba, igobereka Mwanakomana, uye vachatumidza zita rake Emanueri, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, Mwari anesu.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”
24 Zvino Josefa amuka pahope akaita sezvakaraira mutumwa waIshe kwaari, akazvitorera mukadzi wake;
Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and he took her as his wife.
25 uye haana kumuziva kusvikira azvara Mwanakomana wake wedangwe; akatumidza zita rake JESU.
But he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Then he called his name Jesus.
