A book of a genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abiramey Yisaqa yelides. Yisaqay Yaqoobe yelides. Yaqobey Yudane iza ishata yelides.

and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,
8 Asafey Yosafaxxe yelides. Yosafaxxey Iyorame yelides. Iyoramey Oziyane yelides.
and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
9 Oziyaney Iyoatamme yelides, Iyoatamey Akaze yelides, Akazey Hizqassa yelides.
and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
10 Hizqassay Minasse yelides, Minassey Ammoxe yelides, Amoxxeykka Yosiyasa yelides.
and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
11 Yosiyasay Babiloone di7o layth Ikoniyanene iza ishata yelides.
and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers during the Babylonian exile.
12 Babiloone di7oppe guye Ikkoniyaney Salatiyale yelides, Salatiyaleykka Zarubabele yelides,
And after the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
13 Zerubabeley Abiyodde yelides, Abiyodey Eliyaqqemme yelides, Eliyaqqemmey Azare yelides.
and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,
14 Azarey Sadeqqe yelides, Sadoqqey Akimme yelides, Akimeykka Eliyodde yelides,
and Azor begot Zadoc, and Zadoc begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud,
15 Eliyodey Alazare Yelidess, Alazarey Matane yelides, Mataney Yaqqobbe yelides.
and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
16 Yaqoobeykka Kirstosa getetidaysa Yesusa yelida Maramo ekana gigisida Yosefo yelides.
and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Hesa gish Abirameppe yidi Dawite gakanas tamane oydu yeleteth, qasse Dawiteppe Babiloone di7o wode gakanas taammane oydu yeleteth, Babiloone di7oppe Kirstossa yeleteth gakanas tamane oydu yeleteth gidana.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian exile fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian exile to the Christ fourteen generations.
18 Yesus Kirstosa yeletetha tarikey hessa mala; iza ayeya Marama Yosefos gigista utada dishin izi izira gagonta dishin Xillo Ayanan qanthatada bistadus.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from the Holy Spirit.
19 Izo gigisida Yosefoy xillo asa gidida gish Maramo asa sinthan qonce kesonta qotara aganas ba wozinara qachidess.
But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
20 Haysa izi qopishin Xossa kitanchay agumora izas qoncidi “Dawite na Yossefo ne gigisida Marama qanthatiday Xillo Ayanan gidida gish izo ne so efanas baboppa,
But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Iza adde na yelana, izi asa nagarappe ashanade gidida gish iza sunth ne Yesusa ga sunthana” gidess.
And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Godday nabe Isayasa dunan “hekko gela7oya qanthatana, atumanakka yelana, naza sunthaykka Amanu7ele getistana, hessa birshechikka (Xossi nunara) gusa getetidi xafetidaysi polistana mala haysi wurikka hanidess.”
Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.
24 Yossefoykka dhiskkoppe begidi Goodda kitanchay iza azazida mala Maramo ba so efidess.
And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
25 Gido atin bada iza koyro naza yelana gakanas izo ekibeyna. Yeletida gutha naza suntha Yesusa gidess.
and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
