NgokukaLuka 2:1-5

Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku kwaphuma isimemezelo kuKesari Awugustu sokuba kubalwe izwe lonke. Lokhu kubalwa kokuqala kwenziwa uKhureniyu engumbusi waseSiriya. Bonke baya kubalwa, yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo. Naye uJosefa wakhuphuka ephuma eGalile emzini waseNazaretha, waya eJudiya emzini kaDavide othiwa iBetlehema, ngokuba wayengowendlu nozalo lukaDavide, ukuyobalwa kanye noMariya owayemmiselwe ukuba abe ngumkakhe, ekhulelwe.
