and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the 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 to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon 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.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child 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 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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 when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived 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 are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Kun hundinuu akka wanni Gooftaan karaa raajichaatiin dubbate sun raawwatamuuf taʼe.
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which 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.
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 Yoosefis hirribaa dammaqee akkuma ergamaan Gooftaa isa ajajetti Maariyaamin niitummaadhaan mana isaatti fudhate.
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Garuu inni hamma isheen ilma deessutti ishee bira hin geenye. Maqaa isaas, “Yesuus” jedhee moggaase.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
