11 ary Josia niteraka an’ i Jekonia mirahalahy avy, tamin’ ny nifindrana tany Babylona.
uJosiya owayenguyise kaJekhoniya labafowabo ngesikhathi bethunjwe eBhabhiloni.
12 Ary taorian’ ny nifindrana tany Babylona Jekonia dia niteraka an’ i Sealtiela; ary Sealtiela niteraka an’ i Zerobabela;
Emva kokuthunjwa eBhabhiloni: uJekhoniya wayenguyise kaSheyalithiyeli, uSheyalithiyeli uyise kaZerubhabheli,

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.
Ngokunjalo-ke, kwakulezizukulwane ezilitshumi lane sezizonke kusukela ku-Abhrahama kusiya kuDavida, ezilitshumi lane kusukela kuDavida kusiya ekuthunjweni yiBhabhiloni njalo ezilitshumi lane kusukela ekuthunjweni kusiya kuKhristu.
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.
UJesu Khristu wazalwa kanje: Unina uMariya wayethembise ukuthi uzakwendela kuJosefa kodwa kwathi bengakahlangani wabonakala esezithwele kwenziwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
19 Ary Josefa vadiny, izay lehilahy marina sady tsy ta-hanala baraka azy, dia nikasa hametraka azy mangingina.
Ngoba umkakhe uJosefa wayeyindoda elungileyo emthethweni, njalo engafuni ukumyangisa ebantwini, wacabanga ukumala ngasese.
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,
Uthe esekucabangile lokhu, kwafika kuye ingilosi yeNkosi ephutsheni yathi, “Josefa ndodana kaDavida, ungesabi ukuthatha uMariya ukuba abe ngumkakho ngoba lokhu akhulelwe ngakho kuvela kuMoya oNgcwele.
21 ka hiteraka Zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany hataonao hoe Jesosy; fa Izy no hamonjy ny olony ho afaka amin’ ny fahotany.
Uzabeletha indodana ozayetha ibizo uthi nguJesu ngoba uzasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.”
22 Ary izany rehetra izany dia tonga mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazain’ ny Tompo ny mpaminany hoe:
Konke lokhu kwenzakala ukuze kugcwaliseke okwatshiwo yiNkosi ngomphrofethi ukuthi:
23 Indro, ny virijina hitoe-jaza ka hiteraka zazalahy; Ary ny anarany hataon’ ny olona hoe Imanoela, izany hoe, raha adika: Amintsika Andriamanitra.
“Intombi egcweleyo izakhulelwa izale indodana, bayibize ngokuthi ngu-Emanuweli” (okutsho ukuthi, “uNkulunkulu ulathi”).
24 Ary Josefa, rehefa nahatsiaro tamin’ ny torimasony, dia nanao araka izay nandidian’ ny anjelin’ ny Tompo ary ka nampakatra ny vadiny.
UJosefa esevukile ebuthongweni wenza lokho ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimlaye khona, wamthatha uMariya waba ngumkakhe.
25 Ary tsy nahalala azy izy mandra-piterany Zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Jesosy.
Kodwa kazange embathe laye waze wabeletha indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguJesu.
