Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yamadzitateguru aJesu Kristu mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, mwanakomana waAbhurahama:
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;

6 and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
naJese baba vamambo Dhavhidhi. Dhavhidhi aiva baba vaSoromoni, mai vake ndivo vaimbova mukadzi waUria,
7 and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
Soromoni baba vaRehobhoamu, Rehobhoamu baba vaAbhija, Abhija baba vaAsa,
8 and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
Asa baba vaJehoshafati, Jehoshafati baba vaJoramu, Joramu baba vaUzia,
9 and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
Uzia baba vaJotamu, Jotamu baba vaAhazi, Ahazi baba vaHezekia.
10 and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
Hezekia baba vaManase, Manase baba vaAmoni, Amoni baba vaJosia,
11 and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.
naJosia baba vaJekonia navanunʼuna vake panguva yavaiva kuutapwa muBhabhironi.
12 And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Vabva kuutapwa kuBhabhironi: Jekonia aiva baba vaShearitieri, Shearitieri baba vaZerubhabheri,
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakobho baba vaJosefa, uyo aiva murume waMaria, uyo akabereka Jesu, anonzi Kristu.
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.
Nokudaro kwaiva nezvizvarwa gumi nezvina pamwe chete kubvira pana Abhurahama kusvika pana Dhavhidhi, zvizvarwa gumi nezvina kubva pana Dhavhidhi kusvika pakutapwa kwavo vachiendwa navo kuBhabhironi, zvizvarwa gumi nezvina kubva pakudzoka kwavo kuutapwa kusvika panguva yaKristu.
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 Ghost.
Uku ndiko kuberekwa kwakaitwa Jesu Kristu: Maria, mai vake vainge vatsidzirwa kuroorwa naJosefa, asi vasati vagara vose, achiri mhandara, akaonekwa ava napamuviri nokuda kwaMweya Mutsvene.
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.
Asi nokuda kwokuti Josefa akanga ari munhu akarurama akafunga zvokumuramba chinyararire, asingamunyadzisi pavazhinji.
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 Ghost.
Asi achiri kufunga nezvenyaya iyi, mutumwa waIshe akauya kwaari mukurota akasvikoti, “Josefa, mwana waDhavhidhi, usatya kutora Maria somukadzi wako nokuti pamuviri paava napo akapabata nokuda kwesimba raMweya Mutsvene.
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.
Achava nomwana mukomana wauchazotumidza zita rokuti Jesu nokuti ndiye achaponesa vanhu vake kubva muzvivi zvavo.”
22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Izvi zvose zvakaitika kuti zvizadzise zvakanga zvataurwa naIshe kubudikidza nomuprofita wake zvokuti:
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.
“Mhandara ichava napamuviri, igozvara mwana mukomana, uye vachamutumidza zita rokuti Emanueri, zvichireva kuti, ‘Mwari anesu.’”
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
Josefa paakapepuka, akaita sezvaakanga arayirwa nomutumwa waIshe, uye akatora Maria somukadzi wake,
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
asi haana kusangana naye kusvikira azvara mwana mukomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Jesu.
