Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called the Messiah.
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.
All the generations, therefore, are, from Abraham to David fourteen generations, and from David to the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations, and from the captivity of Babylon to the Messiah fourteen generations.
18 Yesus Kirstosa yeletetha tarikey hessa mala; iza ayeya Marama Yosefos gigista utada dishin izi izira gagonta dishin Xillo Ayanan qanthatada bistadus.
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, 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.
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting 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,
And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived 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 bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate 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 that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
Behold, a virgin will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our God with us.
24 Yossefoykka dhiskkoppe begidi Goodda kitanchay iza azazida mala Maramo ba so efidess.
And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 Gido atin bada iza koyro naza yelana gakanas izo ekibeyna. Yeletida gutha naza suntha Yesusa gidess.
And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
