17 Ary ny taranaka rehetra hatramin’ i Abrahama ka hatramin’ i Davida dia taranaka efatra ambin’ ny folo; ary hatramin’ i Davida ka hatramin’ ny nifindrana tany Babylona dia taranaka efatra ambin’ ny folo; ary hatramin’ ny nifindrana tany Babylona ka hatramin’ i Kristy dia taranaka efatra ambin’ ny folo.
So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the exile to Babylon is fourteen; and from the exile to Babylon to Christ is fourteen.
18 Ary ny nahaterahan’ i Jesosy Kristy dia toy izao: Rehefa nanaiky Maria, renin’ i Jesosy, ho fofombadin’ i Josefa, raha tsy mbola nivady izy, dia hita fa nitoe-jaza avy tamin’ ny Fanahy Masìna izy.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Ary Josefa vadiny, izay lehilahy marina sady tsy ta-hanala baraka azy, dia nikasa hametraka azy mangingina.
But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 Fa raha mbola nisaina izany izy, indro, nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo niseho taminy tamin’ ny nofy ka nanao hoe: Ry Josefa, zanak’ i Davida, aza matahotra hampakatra an’ i Maria vadinao; fa ny Zaza ao an-kibony dia avy amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna,
And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
21 ka hiteraka Zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany hataonao hoe Jesosy; fa Izy no hamonjy ny olony ho afaka amin’ ny fahotany.
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Ary izany rehetra izany dia tonga mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazain’ ny Tompo ny mpaminany hoe:
All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
23 Indro, ny virijina hitoe-jaza ka hiteraka zazalahy; Ary ny anarany hataon’ ny olona hoe Imanoela, izany hoe, raha adika: Amintsika Andriamanitra.
Behold! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "God with us."
24 Ary Josefa, rehefa nahatsiaro tamin’ ny torimasony, dia nanao araka izay nandidian’ ny anjelin’ ny Tompo ary ka nampakatra ny vadiny.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 Ary tsy nahalala azy izy mandra-piterany Zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Jesosy.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
