Iivesi zeBhayibhile malunga noKrisimesi
- Úya kuzala unyana, ùmthiye igama elinguYesu, kuba nguye oya kubasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.
- Namhlanje, edolophini kaDavide, nizalelwe uMsindisi onguKrestu iNkosi.
- Makadunyiswe uThixo kweliphezulu,
kube luxolo emhlabeni kubantu abamkholisayo. - Andithi na kaloku thina sizalelwe umntwana;
kaloku thina silizwe ngonyana.
Nguye ke oya kulawula.
Ke yena wothiywa igama kuthiwe
nguMcebisi omangalisayo,
uThixo oligorha,
uSonini-nanini,
iTshawe loxolo. - Isithunywa ke sathi kubo: “Musani ukoyika; kaloku ndinizisele iindaba ezimnandi zovuyo olukhulu oluya kuba kubo bonke abantu.”
- Kwaza kwathi belapho lafika ixesha lokubeleka kwakhe. Wamzala ke unyana wakhe wamazibulo, wamsongela eziqhiyeni, wamlalisa emkhumbini wesitali, kuba kwakungekho ndawo endlwini yabahambi.
- Konke oku kwênzeka ukuze lizaliseke ilizwi leNkosi elathethwa ngumshumayeli, esithi: “Niyabona, intombi le iya kumitha, izale unyana, abizwe ngokuba nguImanuweli” (oko kukuthi “uThixo unathi”).
- Ngoko ke yiNkosi ngokwayo eza kukunika umqondiso! Kaloku intombi ikhulelwe, ibe ke iza kuzala unyana, imthiye igama elinguImanuweli.
- Abelusi ke babuyela emihlambini yabo, becula bedumisa uThixo ngenxa yazo zonke izinto ababezivile bazifumana zinjengoko zazixeliwe.
- UJosefu ke waphuma kwelaseGalili, kwidolophu iNazarete, waya kwelakwaJuda, kwidolophu kaDavide eyiBhetelehem, kuba wayengowomlibo kaDavide. Wayesiya kubhalisa, enoMariya owayesendela kuye. Yena wayeselekhulelwe.
- Saphendula isithunywa sathi kuye: “UMoya oyiNgcwele uya kuhlela kuwe, athi amandla kaThixo uPhezukonke akufukamele. Kungoko loo mntwana ungcwele uya kuzalwa nguwe kuya kuthiwa nguNyana kaThixo.”
- Esazicinga ezi zinto, naso isithunywa seNkosi sibonakala kuye ephupheni, sisithi: “Josefu, nyana kaDavide, sukoyika ukumthatha uMariya abe ngumfazi wakho, kuba oko akukhawuleyo kungoMoya oyiNgcwele.”
- Isithunywa ke sathi kuye: “Musa ukoyika, Mariya, kuba uThixo ukwenzela isisa. Uyabona, uza kumitha, uzale unyana, umthiye igama elinguYesu.”
- Kwathi akuba uYesu ezelwe eBhetelehem kwaJuda, ngemihla kakumkani uHerode, kwabonakala kufika iingcali zeenkwenkwezi eJerusalem, zivela empumalanga, zisithi: “Uphi na lo kumkani wamaJuda uzelweyo? Sibone inkwenkwezi yakhe empumalanga; ke size kumnqula.”
- Kambe ke nawe, Bhetelehem yase-Efrata,
udeleke unjalo kwizindlu zakwaJuda,
kanti ke kwalapha kuwe ndiza kuvelisa
lowo uya kuba ngumlawuli kaSirayeli,
omveli yakhe isukela kwamandulo,
kwimihla yasephakadeni. - Ukuzalwa kukaYesu Krestu kwakungolu hlobo: UMariya, unina, wayesendela kuJosefu, bengekatshati, kwabonakala ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele wenze ukuba abe nzima.
