1 Hiddi dhaloota Yesuus Kiristoos sanyii Daawit, sanyii Abrahaam taʼe sanaa kanaa dha:
THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 Asaaf Yehooshaafaaxin dhalche; Yehooshaafaax Yehooraamin dhalche; Yehooraam Uziyaan dhalche;
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;

And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 Yosiyaas bara boojuu Baabilon keessa, Yekooniyaanii fi obboloota isaa dhalche.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Boojuu Baabilon booddee, Yekooniyaan Sheʼaltiiʼeelin dhalche; Sheʼaltiiʼeel Zarubaabelin dhalche;
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

16 Yaaqoob Yoosefin dhalche; Yoosef kunis dhirsa Maariyaam ishee Yesuus isa Kiristoos jedhamu deesse sanaa ti.
And Jacob begat 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.
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 unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Dhalachuun Yesuus Kiristoos akkana ture: Haati isaa Maariyaam kaadhima Yoosef turte; isheenis utuu Yoosef wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ulfooftee argamte.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Yoosef kaadhimni ishee sunis nama qajeelaa waan tureef, dhoksaadhaan ishee dhiisuu murteesse malee uummata duratti ishee qaanessuu hin barbaanne.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
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 while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 Isheen ilma deessi; atis maqaa isaa Yesuus jettee ni moggaafta; inni saba isaa cubbuu isaanii irraa ni fayyisaatii.”
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Kun hundinuu akka wanni Gooftaan karaa raajichaatiin dubbate sun raawwatamuuf taʼe.
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Innis, “Kunoo, durbi tokko ni ulfoofti; ilma ni deessi; maqaa isaas Amaanuʼel jedhu” jedha. Amaanuʼel jechuunis, “Waaqni nu wajjin jira” jechuu dha.
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 Yoosefis hirribaa dammaqee akkuma ergamaan Gooftaa isa ajajetti Maariyaamin niitummaadhaan mana isaatti fudhate.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 Garuu inni hamma isheen ilma deessutti ishee bira hin geenye. Maqaa isaas, “Yesuus” jedhee moggaase.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
