8 and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,

11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Josiyasi ndokubereka Jekoniasi nevanakomana vamai vake nenguva yekutapirwa kuBhabhironi.
12 And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Zvino shure kwekutapirwa kuBhabhironi, Jekoniasi wakabereka Saratieri; Saratieri ndokubereka Zerubhabheri;

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the 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 exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon 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 happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child 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 And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Zvino Josefa murume wavo zvaakange ari wakarurama, asingadi kuvafumura, waida kuvaramba muchivande.
20 But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her 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 bring forth a son, and you are to name him 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 happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Zvino zvese izvozvi zvakaitwa kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe kubudikidza nemuporofita achiti:
23 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
Tarira, mhandara ichava nemimba, igobereka Mwanakomana, uye vachatumidza zita rake Emanueri, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, Mwari anesu.
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Zvino Josefa amuka pahope akaita sezvakaraira mutumwa waIshe kwaari, akazvitorera mukadzi wake;
25 and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
uye haana kumuziva kusvikira azvara Mwanakomana wake wedangwe; akatumidza zita rake JESU.
