¹⁷Huchiin suan tengteng tuh Abraham apat David chiang suan sawm leh suan li ahi, David apat Babulon lama sala a pi tan un, suan sawm leh suan li ahi, Babulon lama sala a pi ua pat Kris tan suan sawm leh suan li ahi.

¹⁸Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸Huan, Jesu Kris hongpian dan tuh hichibang ahi; A nu Mari Joseph toh a kikham lai ua a omkhawm ma un, Kha Siangthouin a gaisak chih a natheita ua.

¹⁹And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

¹⁹Huchiin, a pasal Joseph tuh, mi diktak ahi a, amah daisak a ut het keia, a gukin tawpsan a tum.

²⁰But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

²⁰Himahleh, huai thute a ngaihtuah laiin, ngaiin, a mangin Toupa angel a kiangah a hong kilaka, Joseph, nang David tapa, na ji Mari neih lau ken, a nau pai Kha Siangthou laka ahi,

²¹And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.

²¹Tapa a nei dia, a min dingin Jesu na sa ding, aman a mite a khelhna ua kipan a hotdam ding jiakin, a chi a.

²²Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²²Huan, TOUPAN jawlnei kama.

²³Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.

²³Ngai in, nungak siangthou a gai dia, tapa a nei dia, a min dingin Immanuel a sa ding uh. chia a nagen a hongtun theihna dingin huai tengteng tuh a hongom hi. Huai tuh, i kiang uah, Pathian a om, chihna ahi.

²⁴And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;

²⁴Huchiin, Joseph ihmu lai a thoukhia a, Toupa angel in a kianga thu a piak bangin a hiha, a ji tuh a neita a;Himahleh, tapa a neih masiah a kithuahpih kei; huan, a min dingin Jesu a sata.

²⁵and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.

²⁵Himahleh, tapa a neih masiah a kithuahpih kei; huan, a min dingin Jesu a sata.
