Mateo 1
1 Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yamadzitateguru aJesu Kristu mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, mwanakomana waAbhurahama:
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
2 Abhurahama aiva baba vaIsaka, Isaka baba vaJakobho, Jakobho baba vaJudha namadzikoma ake, navanunʼuna vake,
Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Judas and his brethren.
3 Judha baba vaPerezi naZera, mai vavo vaiva Tamari, Perezi baba vaHezironi, Hezironi baba vaRamu,
And Judas begot Phares and Zara of Thamar. And Phares begot Esron. And Esron begot Aram.
4 Ramu baba vaAminadhabhu, Aminadhabhu baba vaNashoni, Nashoni baba vaSarimoni,
And Aram begot Aminadab. And Aminadab begot Naasson. And Naasson begot Salmon.
5 Sarimoni baba vaBhoazi, mai vake vari Rahabhi, Bhoazi baba vaObhedhi, mai vake vari Rute, Obhedhi baba vaJese,
And Salmon begot Booz of Rahab. And Booz begot Obed of Ruth. And Obed begot Jesse.
6 naJese baba vamambo Dhavhidhi. Dhavhidhi aiva baba vaSoromoni, mai vake ndivo vaimbova mukadzi waUria,
And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.
7 Soromoni baba vaRehobhoamu, Rehobhoamu baba vaAbhija, Abhija baba vaAsa,
And Solomon begot Roboam. And Roboam begot Abia. And Abia begot Asa.
8 Asa baba vaJehoshafati, Jehoshafati baba vaJoramu, Joramu baba vaUzia,
And Asa begot Josaphat. And Josaphat begot Joram. And Joram begot Ozias.
9 Uzia baba vaJotamu, Jotamu baba vaAhazi, Ahazi baba vaHezekia.
And Ozias begot Joatham. And Joatham begot Achaz. And Achaz begot Ezechias.
10 Hezekia baba vaManase, Manase baba vaAmoni, Amoni baba vaJosia,
And Ezechias begot Manasses. And Manesses begot Amon. And Amon begot Josias.
11 naJosia baba vaJekonia navanunʼuna vake panguva yavaiva kuutapwa muBhabhironi.
And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon.
12 Vabva kuutapwa kuBhabhironi: Jekonia aiva baba vaShearitieri, Shearitieri baba vaZerubhabheri,
And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias begot Salathiel. And Salathiel begot Zorobabel.
13 Zerubhabheri baba vaAbhiudhi, Abhiudhi baba vaEriakimu, Eriakimu baba vaAzori.
And Zorobabel begot Abiud. And Abiud begot Eliacim. And Eliacim begot Azor.
14 Azori baba vaZadhoki, Zadhoki baba vaAkimu, Akimu baba vaEriudhi,
And Azor begot Sadoc. And Sadoc begot Achim. And Achim begot Eliud.
15 Eriudhi baba vaEreazari, Ereazari baba vaMatani, Matani baba vaJakobho.
And Eliud begot Eleazar. And Eleazar begot Mathan. And Mathan begot Jacob.
16 Jakobho baba vaJosefa, uyo aiva murume waMaria, uyo akabereka Jesu, anonzi Kristu.
And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Nokudaro kwaiva nezvizvarwa gumi nezvina pamwe chete kubvira pana Abhurahama kusvika pana Dhavhidhi, zvizvarwa gumi nezvina kubva pana Dhavhidhi kusvika pakutapwa kwavo vachiendwa navo kuBhabhironi, zvizvarwa gumi nezvina kubva pakudzoka kwavo kuutapwa kusvika panguva yaKristu.
So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Uku ndiko kuberekwa kwakaitwa Jesu Kristu: Maria, mai vake vainge vatsidzirwa kuroorwa naJosefa, asi vasati vagara vose, achiri mhandara, akaonekwa ava napamuviri nokuda kwaMweya Mutsvene.
Now the generation of Christ was in 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 Asi nokuda kwokuti Josefa akanga ari munhu akarurama akafunga zvokumuramba chinyararire, asingamunyadzisi pavazhinji.
Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
20 Asi achiri kufunga nezvenyaya iyi, mutumwa waIshe akauya kwaari mukurota akasvikoti, “Josefa, mwana waDhavhidhi, usatya kutora Maria somukadzi wako nokuti pamuviri paava napo akapabata nokuda kwesimba raMweya Mutsvene.
But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, 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 Achava nomwana mukomana wauchazotumidza zita rokuti Jesu nokuti ndiye achaponesa vanhu vake kubva muzvivi zvavo.”
And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Izvi zvose zvakaitika kuti zvizadzise zvakanga zvataurwa naIshe kubudikidza nomuprofita wake zvokuti:
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
23 “Mhandara ichava napamuviri, igozvara mwana mukomana, uye vachamutumidza zita rokuti Emanueri, zvichireva kuti, ‘Mwari anesu.’”
Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Josefa paakapepuka, akaita sezvaakanga arayirwa nomutumwa waIshe, uye akatora Maria somukadzi wake,
And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
25 asi haana kusangana naye kusvikira azvara mwana mukomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Jesu.
And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
