Yabelana

She will give birth to a son. You will name him Creator Sets Free (Jesus) , because he will set his people free from their bad hearts and broken ways.”

“A young virgin will be with child and give birth to a son. They will call his name Immanuel, which in our tribal language means Creator Is with Us.”

As he wondered about these things, a messenger from the Great Spirit appeared to him in a dream and said, “He Gives Sons (Joseph) , descendant of Much Loved One (David) , do not be afraid to take Bitter Tears (Mary) to be your wife, because the Holy Spirit has given her this child.

Here is the story of how the Chosen One was born: His mother, Bitter Tears (Mary) , had been promised in marriage to He Gives Sons (Joseph) . But before they came together in marriage, while still a virgin, she found out that she was carrying a baby in her womb from the Holy Spirit. He Gives Sons (Joseph) was a man of honor. He did not want to bring her trouble and open shame, so he thought about secretly releasing her from the marriage promise.
