and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.

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 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.
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 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.
19 Izo gigisida Yosefoy xillo asa gidida gish Maramo asa sinthan qonce kesonta qotara aganas ba wozinara qachidess.
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
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 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.
21 Iza adde na yelana, izi asa nagarappe ashanade gidida gish iza sunth ne Yesusa ga sunthana” gidess.
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.
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 is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
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.
24 Yossefoykka dhiskkoppe begidi Goodda kitanchay iza azazida mala Maramo ba so efidess.
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
25 Gido atin bada iza koyro naza yelana gakanas izo ekibeyna. Yeletida gutha naza suntha Yesusa gidess.
and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
