1 A book of a genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Bhuku redzinza raJesu Kristu, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, mwanakomana waAbhurahama.
2 Abraham begot Isaac, and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers,
Abhurahama wakabereka Isaka; Isaka ndokubereka Jakobho; Jakobho ndokubereka Judha nevanakomana vababa vake;

Sarimoni ndokubereka Bhowazi kuna Rahabhi; Bhowazi ndokubereka Obhedhi kuna Rute; Obhedhi ndokubereka Jese;
6 and Jesse begot David the king. And David begot Solomon from the widow of Uriah,
Jese ndokubereka Dhavhidhi mambo; Dhavhidhi mambo ndokubereka Soromoni kumukadziwaiva waUria;
7 and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,
Soromoni ndokubereka Robhoami; Robhoami ndokubereka Abhiya; Abhiya ndokubereka Asa;
8 and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
Asa ndokubereka Josafati; Josafati ndokubereka Joramu; Joramu ndokubereka Oziasi;
9 and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
Oziasi ndokubereka Jotamu; Jotamu ndokubereka Akazi; Akazi ndokubereka Hezekia;
10 and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
Hezekia ndokubereka Manase; Manase ndokubereka Amoni; Amoni ndokubereka Josiyasi;
11 and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers during the Babylonian exile.
Josiyasi ndokubereka Jekoniasi nevanakomana vamai vake nenguva yekutapirwa kuBhabhironi.
12 And after the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
Zvino shure kwekutapirwa kuBhabhironi, Jekoniasi wakabereka Saratieri; Saratieri ndokubereka Zerubhabheri;
13 and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,

15 and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
Eriyudhi ndokubereka Eriazari; Eriazari ndokubereka Matani; Matani ndokubereka Jakobho;
16 and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakobho ndokubereka Josefa murume waMaria, kwakazvarwa kwaari Jesu, anonzi Kristu.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian exile fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian exile to the Christ fourteen generations.
Naizvozvo mazera ese kubva kuna Abhurahama kusvikira kuna Dhavhidhi mazera gumi nemana; nekubva kuna Dhavhidhi kusvikira pakutapirwa kuBhabhironi mazera gumi nemana; nekubva pakutapirwa kuBhabhironi kusvikira kuna Kristu mazera gumi nemana.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from the Holy Spirit.
Zvino kuberekwa kwaJesu Kristu kwaiva kwakadai: Nokuti mai vake Maria vakati vatsidzirwa kuroorwa naJosefa, vasati vasangana vakaonekwa vava nemimba kubva kuMweya Mutsvene.
19 But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
Zvino Josefa murume wavo zvaakange ari wakarurama, asingadi kuvafumura, waida kuvaramba muchivande.
20 But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit.
Asi zvino wakati acharangarira zvinhu izvozvi, tarira, mutumwa waIshe wakaonekwa kwaari muchiroto achiti: Josefa, mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, usatya kuzvitorera Maria mukadzi wako; nokuti icho chakaumbwa maari ndecheMweya Mutsvene.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.
Uye achabereka Mwanakomana, uye uchatumidza zita rake Jesu, nokuti iye achaponesa vanhu vake pazvivi zvavo.
22 Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
Zvino zvese izvozvi zvakaitwa kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe kubudikidza nemuporofita achiti:
23 Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.
Tarira, mhandara ichava nemimba, igobereka Mwanakomana, uye vachatumidza zita rake Emanueri, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, Mwari anesu.
24 And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
Zvino Josefa amuka pahope akaita sezvakaraira mutumwa waIshe kwaari, akazvitorera mukadzi wake;
25 and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
uye haana kumuziva kusvikira azvara Mwanakomana wake wedangwe; akatumidza zita rake JESU.
