and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the removal to Babylon.
12 Babiloone di7oppe guye Ikkoniyaney Salatiyale yelides, Salatiyaleykka Zarubabele yelides,
And after the removal to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;

16 Yaqoobeykka Kirstosa getetidaysa Yesusa yelida Maramo ekana gigisida Yosefo yelides.
and Jacob begat 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 removal to Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the removal to 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.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Izo gigisida Yosefoy xillo asa gidida gish Maramo asa sinthan qonce kesonta qotara aganas ba wozinara qachidess.
Then Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not willing to expose her to shame, purposed to put her away 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 thought on these things, lo! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
21 Iza adde na yelana, izi asa nagarappe ashanade gidida gish iza sunth ne Yesusa ga sunthana” gidess.
And she will bear 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.”
Now all this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel;” that is, when interpreted, God-is with-us.
24 Yossefoykka dhiskkoppe begidi Goodda kitanchay iza azazida mala Maramo ba so efidess.
Then Joseph, on waking up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife;
25 Gido atin bada iza koyro naza yelana gakanas izo ekibeyna. Yeletida gutha naza suntha Yesusa gidess.
and he knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name Jesus.
