(1 Mikoka 3:17; Mateyu 1:12) Shealtiele wenga mukosanu waku Neri chifukwa wangutorana ndi mwana waki munthukazi yo zina laki likuzumbulika cha m’Bayibolu. Yosefe nayu wenga “mwana” waku Heli chifukwa wangutorana ndi Mariya mwana munthukazi waku Heli. Mwaviyo, Luka wakonkhosanga banja lo Yesu wanguwiyamu kuzifika pa anyina chayiwu wo angumubala a Mariya. (Ŵaroma 1:3) Bayibolu likamba za mkoka wa mabanja ngaŵi ngo Yesu wanguwiyamu.

Salu zinandi zapangikanga kutuliya ku weya wavinyama, ndipu kanandi Bayibolu likamba kuti asenganga weya wa mbereri.
