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.
Therefore all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; from David unto the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the captivity of Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Yesus Kirstosa yeletetha tarikey hessa mala; iza ayeya Marama Yosefos gigista utada dishin izi izira gagonta dishin Xillo Ayanan qanthatada bistadus.
The birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother Mary, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, was found having gestation from the Holy Ghost.
19 Izo gigisida Yosefoy xillo asa gidida gish Maramo asa sinthan qonce kesonta qotara aganas ba wozinara qachidess.
And Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wishing to expose her publicly, determined to send her away secretly.
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,
And he meditating on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying; Joseph, son of David, do not fear to receive Mary thy wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit;
21 Iza adde na yelana, izi asa nagarappe ashanade gidida gish iza sunth ne Yesusa ga sunthana” gidess.
she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt 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.”
And all this took place in order that the Word, having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying;
Behold, the virgin shall have gestation and bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, God is with us.
24 Yossefoykka dhiskkoppe begidi Goodda kitanchay iza azazida mala Maramo ba so efidess.
And Joseph rising from sleep did as the angel of the Lord commanded him;
25 Gido atin bada iza koyro naza yelana gakanas izo ekibeyna. Yeletida gutha naza suntha Yesusa gidess.
and he took his wife to himself, and did not know her until she brought forth a son, and called his name Jesus.
