and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Egaa walumaa galatti Abrahaamii hamma Daawititti dhaloota kudha afur, Daawitii hamma boojuu Baabilonitti dhaloota kudha afur, boojuu Baabilonii hamma Kiristoosiitti dhaloota kudha afurtu ture.
In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
18 Dhalachuun Yesuus Kiristoos akkana ture: Haati isaa Maariyaam kaadhima Yoosef turte; isheenis utuu Yoosef wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ulfooftee argamte.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Yoosef kaadhimni ishee sunis nama qajeelaa waan tureef, dhoksaadhaan ishee dhiisuu murteesse malee uummata duratti ishee qaanessuu hin barbaanne.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 Utuu inni waan kana yaadaa jiruu, ergamaan Gooftaa abjuu keessa itti mulʼatee akkana jedheen; “Yaa Yoosef ilma Daawit, kaadhimni kee Maariyaam Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan waan ulfoofteef ishee fuudhuu hin sodaatin.
But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Isheen ilma deessi; atis maqaa isaa Yesuus jettee ni moggaafta; inni saba isaa cubbuu isaanii irraa ni fayyisaatii.”
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Kun hundinuu akka wanni Gooftaan karaa raajichaatiin dubbate sun raawwatamuuf taʼe.
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 Innis, “Kunoo, durbi tokko ni ulfoofti; ilma ni deessi; maqaa isaas Amaanuʼel jedhu” jedha. Amaanuʼel jechuunis, “Waaqni nu wajjin jira” jechuu dha.
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Yoosefis hirribaa dammaqee akkuma ergamaan Gooftaa isa ajajetti Maariyaamin niitummaadhaan mana isaatti fudhate.
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 Garuu inni hamma isheen ilma deessutti ishee bira hin geenye. Maqaa isaas, “Yesuus” jedhee moggaase.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
