and Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named 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.
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 Dhalachuun Yesuus Kiristoos akkana ture: Haati isaa Maariyaam kaadhima Yoosef turte; isheenis utuu Yoosef wajjin wal bira hin gaʼin Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ulfooftee argamte.
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 Yoosef kaadhimni ishee sunis nama qajeelaa waan tureef, dhoksaadhaan ishee dhiisuu murteesse malee uummata duratti ishee qaanessuu hin barbaanne.
and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
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.
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 Isheen ilma deessi; atis maqaa isaa Yesuus jettee ni moggaafta; inni saba isaa cubbuu isaanii irraa ni fayyisaatii.”
and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Kun hundinuu akka wanni Gooftaan karaa raajichaatiin dubbate sun raawwatamuuf taʼe.
And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through 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, 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 Yoosefis hirribaa dammaqee akkuma ergamaan Gooftaa isa ajajetti Maariyaamin niitummaadhaan mana isaatti fudhate.
And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
25 Garuu inni hamma isheen ilma deessutti ishee bira hin geenye. Maqaa isaas, “Yesuus” jedhee moggaase.
and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
