17 Hiza, yeletethay Abrahameppe Dawite gakkanaw tammanne oydda. Dawiteppe bidi Babiloone di7uwa gakkanaw tammanne oydda. Babiloone di7uwappe bidi Kiristtoosa gakkanaw tammanne oyddu yeletethi gidees.
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Yesuus Kiristtoosa yeletethaa taarikey hayssafe kaalleyssa. Iya aaya Mayraama Yoosefas oyshetta de7ashe Yoosefara gahettonna Geeshsha Ayyaanaappe qanthatasu.
And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
19 Yoosefi Xillo asi gidida gisho iyo asan kessanaw koyibeenna. Yaaniya gisho qosan iyo agganaw qoppis.
and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
20 I he qofan de7ishin Xoossaa kiitanchchoy amuhon qonccidi, “Dawite na7aw, Yoosefa, Mayraama qanthatiday Geeshsha Ayyaanaappe gidiya gisho iyo ekkanaw yayyofa” yaagis.
And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit,
21 Iya adde na7a yelana, I ba deriya entta nagaraappe ashshiya gisho iya sunthaa ne Yesuusa gada xeegana.
and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Goday nabiya Isayaasa doonan,
And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
23 “Hekko geela7iya qanthatana; adde na7akka yelana; iya sunthay Ammanu7eela geetettana” goyssi polettana mela ha ubbay hanis. Ammanu7eela geyssas birshshethay “Xoossay nuura de7ees” guussu.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 Yoosefi dhiskkofe barkkidi Godaa kiitanchchoy kiittidayssa mela Mayraamo ba soo efis.
And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
25 Shin ba bayra na7a yelana gakkanaw iyo bochchibeenna; yelettida na7akka Yesuusa gidi xeegis.
and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
