Kutalwa kwaJesu Khristu
(Luk. 2:1-7)
18 Kutalwa kwaJesu Khristu kwaba nje-ke: Kwatsi Mariya unina asamiselwe Josefa, basengakahlangani, watfolakala asakhuleliswe nguMoya Longcwele. 19Kepha Josefa, indvodza yakhe, abengumuntfu lolungile, akatsandzanga kumtsela ngelihlazo. Wacabanga, asafuna kumlahla ngasese. 20Kodvwa asakucabanga loko, kwefika ingilosi yeNkhosi kuye ngeliphupho yatsi: “Josefa, ndvodzana yaDavide, ungesabi kumtsatsa Mariya umkakho, ngobe loko lakukhulelwe kwaMoya Longcwele. 21 Mariya utakutala indvodzana uyetse libito utsi nguJesu, ngobe nguye loyakusindzisa bantfu bakhe etonweni tabo.”
22Konkhe loku kwentekela kugcwalisa loko lokwashiwo yiNkhosi ngemphrofethi lowatsi: 23 “Bheka, intfombi iyawukhulelwa itale indvodzana, libito layo kuyawutsiwa ngu-Imanuweli,” lokusho kutsi: “Nkulunkulu unatsi.”
24Josefa nakavuka ebutfongweni, wenta njengaloku ingilosi yeNkhosi imtjelile; watsatsa Mariya waba ngumkakhe. 25 Kodvwa akazange ahlangane naye waze watubula ngendvodzana; wayetsa libito, watsi nguJESU.
