< Matthew 1 >

1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
Nisamake Isàka t’i Abraàme naho nisamake Iakobe t’Isàka; nisamake Iehodà naho o roahalahi’eo t’Iakobe;
3 And Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;
nisamake i Peretse naho i Zerà amy Tamare t’Iehodà; nisamake i Hezrone t’i Peretse, nisamake i Rame t’i Hezrone;
4 And Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
nisamake i Aminadabe t’i Rame, nisamake i Nakhsone t’i Amina­dabe, nisamake i Salmone t’i Nakh­sone.
5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Nisamake i Boaze amy Rakhabe karapilo t’i Salmone; nisamake i Ovede amy Rote t’i Boaze, vaho nisamake i Jesè t’i Ovede.
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;
Nisamake i Davide t’Jesè, le nisamake i Solomone amy vali’ i Oriay t’i Davide.
7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abjah begat Asa;
Nisamake i Rehoboame t’i Solomona; nisamake i Abià t’i Rehoboame; nisamake i Asà t’i Abià.
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
Nisamake i Jehosafate t’i Asà, nisamake i Jorame t’i Jehosafate; nisamake i Ozià t’Jorame.
9 And Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
Nisamake i Jotame t’i Ozià; nisamake i Ahaze t’i Jotame, nisamake i Hezekià t’i Ahaz.
10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
Nisamake i Menasè t’i Hezekià; nisamake i Amone t’i Menasè; nisamake i Josia t’i Amone.
11 And Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Nisamake i Jekonia miroahalahy amy faneseañe e Babolone añey t’i Josia.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Sheatiel; and Sheatiel begat Zerubbabel;
Ie nitampetse i faneseañe e Babolone añey, le nisamake i Sealtiele t’i Jekonia; nisamake i Zerobabele t’i Sealtiele;
13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
nisamake i Abihode t’i Zerobabele; nisamake i Eliakime t’i Abihode; nisamake i Azore t’i Eliakime.
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Nisamake i Tsadoke t’i Azore; nisamake i Ahkime t’i Tsadoke; nisamake i Elihode t’i Ahkime.
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Nisamake i Ele­azare t’i Elihode; nisamake i Matane t’i Eleazare; nisamake i Jakobe t’i Matane.
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Nasama’ i Jakobe t’Josefe. I Josefa ty tañanjomba’ i Marie, rene’ Iesoà tokaveñe ty hoe: i Mesià ndra i Norizañey.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Aa le tariratse folo efats’ amby ty boak’ amy Abrahàme pak’amy ­Davide; naho tariratse folo efats’ amby ty boak’ amy Davide sikal’amy faneseañe e Babolone añey, vaho tariratse folo efats’ amby ty boak’amy faneseañe e Babolone añey pak’ am’ Iesoà.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Zao ty nisamahañe Iesoà: ie vinorovoro’ i Josefe ty rene’e naho mbe tsy niolora’e, le tendreke t’ie nivesatse añamy Arofo-Masiñey.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
Ondaty vañoñe t’i Josefe vali’ey, ie tsy te hindre-toboke ama’e ndra ty hampiborake aze ho salareñe, ndra ty hamahots’ aze havetrake, le nisafirie’e ty hañetake aze.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the 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 Ghost.
Ie nitsa­kore izay an-trok’ ao, intoy ty anjely nisodehañe ama’e ami’ty nofy, nanao ty hoe: O Josefe, ana’ i Davide, ko marimariha’o ty handrambe i Marie vali’o amy te nampiareñe’ i Arofo Masiñey i ama’ey.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Hisamake ana-dahy re naho hatao’o Iesoà ty añara’e, amy te ie ty handrombake ondatikoo amo hakeo’ iareoo.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Nanoeñe iaby izay hañeneke ty nampanokira’ Iehovà i mpitokiy ami’ty hoe:
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Inao, miareñe i somondraray naho hisama-dahy, vaho hatao’ areo Imanoela, toe Andrianañahare Amantika, ty tahina’e.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Nivañoñe amy firota’ey amy zao t’i Josefe le nanoe’e iaby i namantoha’ i anjeli’ Iehovày azey vaho rinamb’e i vali’ey.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Fe tsy niolora’e ampara’ te nisamake i tañoloñoloña’ey vaho nanoe’e Iesoà ty añara’e.
