1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

11 and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.
Yosiyaas bara boojuu Baabilon keessa, Yekooniyaanii fi obboloota isaa dhalche.
12 And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Boojuu Baabilon booddee, Yekooniyaan Sheʼaltiiʼeelin dhalche; Sheʼaltiiʼeel Zarubaabelin dhalche;
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

15 and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;

16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Yaaqoob Yoosefin dhalche; Yoosef kunis dhirsa Maariyaam ishee Yesuus isa Kiristoos jedhamu deesse sanaa ti.
17 So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.
Egaa walumaa galatti Abrahaamii hamma Daawititti dhaloota kudha afur, Daawitii hamma boojuu Baabilonitti dhaloota kudha afur, boojuu Baabilonii hamma Kiristoosiitti dhaloota kudha afurtu ture.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Dhalachuun Yesuus Kiristoos akkana ture: Haati isaa Maariyaam kaadhima Yoosef turte; isheenis utuu Yoosef wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ulfooftee argamte.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
Yoosef kaadhimni ishee sunis nama qajeelaa waan tureef, dhoksaadhaan ishee dhiisuu murteesse malee uummata duratti ishee qaanessuu hin barbaanne.
20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Utuu inni waan kana yaadaa jiruu, ergamaan Gooftaa abjuu keessa itti mulʼatee akkana jedheen; “Yaa Yoosef ilma Daawit, kaadhimni kee Maariyaam Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan waan ulfoofteef ishee fuudhuu hin sodaatin.
21 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.
Isheen ilma deessi; atis maqaa isaa Yesuus jettee ni moggaafta; inni saba isaa cubbuu isaanii irraa ni fayyisaatii.”
22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Kun hundinuu akka wanni Gooftaan karaa raajichaatiin dubbate sun raawwatamuuf taʼe.
23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.
Innis, “Kunoo, durbi tokko ni ulfoofti; ilma ni deessi; maqaa isaas Amaanuʼel jedhu” jedha. Amaanuʼel jechuunis, “Waaqni nu wajjin jira” jechuu dha.
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
Yoosefis hirribaa dammaqee akkuma ergamaan Gooftaa isa ajajetti Maariyaamin niitummaadhaan mana isaatti fudhate.
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
Garuu inni hamma isheen ilma deessutti ishee bira hin geenye. Maqaa isaas, “Yesuus” jedhee moggaase.
