Matthew 1
1 The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Bhuku redzinza raJesu Kristu, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, mwanakomana waAbhurahama.
2 The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
Abhurahama wakabereka Isaka; Isaka ndokubereka Jakobho; Jakobho ndokubereka Judha nevanakomana vababa vake;
3 And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
Judha ndokubereka Faresi naZara kuna Tamari; Faresi ndokubereka Esiromi; Esiromi ndokubereka Arami;
4 And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
Arami ndokubereka Aminadhabhi; Aminadhabhi ndokubereka Naashoni; Naashoni ndokubereka Sarimoni;
5 And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
Sarimoni ndokubereka Bhowazi kuna Rahabhi; Bhowazi ndokubereka Obhedhi kuna Rute; Obhedhi ndokubereka Jese;
6 And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
Jese ndokubereka Dhavhidhi mambo; Dhavhidhi mambo ndokubereka Soromoni kumukadziwaiva waUria;
7 And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
Soromoni ndokubereka Robhoami; Robhoami ndokubereka Abhiya; Abhiya ndokubereka Asa;
8 And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
Asa ndokubereka Josafati; Josafati ndokubereka Joramu; Joramu ndokubereka Oziasi;
9 And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
Oziasi ndokubereka Jotamu; Jotamu ndokubereka Akazi; Akazi ndokubereka Hezekia;
10 And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
Hezekia ndokubereka Manase; Manase ndokubereka Amoni; Amoni ndokubereka Josiyasi;
11 And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
Josiyasi ndokubereka Jekoniasi nevanakomana vamai vake nenguva yekutapirwa kuBhabhironi.
12 And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
Zvino shure kwekutapirwa kuBhabhironi, Jekoniasi wakabereka Saratieri; Saratieri ndokubereka Zerubhabheri;
13 And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
Zerubhabheri ndokubereka Abhiudhi; Abhiudhi ndokubereka Eriakimi; Eriakimi ndokubereka Azori;
14 And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
Azori ndokubereka Sadhoki; Sadhoki ndokubereka Akimi; Akimi ndokubereka Eriyudhi;
15 And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
Eriyudhi ndokubereka Eriazari; Eriazari ndokubereka Matani; Matani ndokubereka Jakobho;
16 And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is 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 taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of 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 in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by 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 And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
Zvino Josefa murume wavo zvaakange ari wakarurama, asingadi kuvafumura, waida kuvaramba muchivande.
20 But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of 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 give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
Uye achabereka Mwanakomana, uye uchatumidza zita rake Jesu, nokuti iye achaponesa vanhu vake pazvivi zvavo.
22 Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
Zvino zvese izvozvi zvakaitwa kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe kubudikidza nemuporofita achiti:
23 See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
Tarira, mhandara ichava nemimba, igobereka Mwanakomana, uye vachatumidza zita rake Emanueri, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, Mwari anesu.
24 And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
Zvino Josefa amuka pahope akaita sezvakaraira mutumwa waIshe kwaari, akazvitorera mukadzi wake;
25 And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
uye haana kumuziva kusvikira azvara Mwanakomana wake wedangwe; akatumidza zita rake JESU.
