16. uYakobi ke wazala uYosefu, indoda kaMariya, ekuthe ngaye kwazalwa uYesu, okuthiwa nguKristu.*
17. Zonke izizukulwana ngoko, ezithabathela kuAbraham zizise kuDavide, zizizukulwana ezilishumi elinaziné; nezithabathela kuDavide zizise ekufuduselweni kwabo eBhabhilon, zizizukulwana ezilishumi elinaziné; nezithabathela ekufuduselweni kwabo eBhabhilon zizise kuKristu, zizizukulwana ezilishumi elinaziné.
18. Ke kaloku ukuzalwa kukaYesu Kristu kwaye kungolu hlobo: Kwathi, akubon' ukuba unina uMariya useleganelwe uYosefu, bengekahlangani, wafunyanwa emithi ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
19. Wathi ke uYosefu indoda yakhe, engolilungisa, engathandi ukumhlaza ekuhleni, wanga angamala ngasese.
20. Akubon' ukuba uyazicinga ezi zinto, naso isithunywa seNkosi sibonakala kuye ephupheni, sisithi, Yosefu, nyana kaDavide, musa ukoyika ukumthabathela kuwe uMariya, umfazi wakho; kuba oko kukhawulweyo phakathi kwakhe kungoMoya oyiNgcwele.
21. Úya kuzala unyana ke, umbize ngegama elinguYesu;* kuba yena eya kubasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.
22. Ke kaloku oku konke kwenzeké, ukuze kuzaliseke okwathethwayo yiNkosi ngomprofeti, isithi,
23. Yabonani, intombi le iya kumitha izale unyana,Bambize ngegama elinguImanuweli,(uIsaya 7:14)oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, uThixo unathi.
24. Wathi ke uYosefu, evukile ebuthongweni, wenza ngoko besimmisele ngako isithunywa seNkosi, wamthabathela kuye umfazi wakhe;
25. waza ke àkamazi, wada wazala unyana wakhe wamazibulo; wambiza ke ngegama elinguYesu.
