And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 Hizqassay Minasse yelides, Minassey Ammoxe yelides, Amoxxeykka Yosiyasa yelides.
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 Yosiyasay Babiloone di7o layth Ikoniyanene iza ishata yelides.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Babiloone di7oppe guye Ikkoniyaney Salatiyale yelides, Salatiyaleykka Zarubabele yelides,
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
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 until the carrying away into Babylon [are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to 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 was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found 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 a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, 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, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou 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 shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he 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 was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Yossefoykka dhiskkoppe begidi Goodda kitanchay iza azazida mala Maramo ba so efidess.
Then Joseph, being raised 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 knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS.
