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 begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3 Judha baba vaPerezi naZera, mai vavo vaiva Tamari, Perezi baba vaHezironi, Hezironi baba vaRamu,
And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4 Ramu baba vaAminadhabhu, Aminadhabhu baba vaNashoni, Nashoni baba vaSarimoni,
And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
5 Sarimoni baba vaBhoazi, mai vake vari Rahabhi, Bhoazi baba vaObhedhi, mai vake vari Rute, Obhedhi baba vaJese,
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 naJese baba vamambo Dhavhidhi. Dhavhidhi aiva baba vaSoromoni, mai vake ndivo vaimbova mukadzi waUria,
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias;
7 Soromoni baba vaRehobhoamu, Rehobhoamu baba vaAbhija, Abhija baba vaAsa,
And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 Asa baba vaJehoshafati, Jehoshafati baba vaJoramu, Joramu baba vaUzia,
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 Uzia baba vaJotamu, Jotamu baba vaAhazi, Ahazi baba vaHezekia.
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 Hezekia baba vaManase, Manase baba vaAmoni, Amoni baba vaJosia,
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 naJosia baba vaJekonia navanunʼuna vake panguva yavaiva kuutapwa muBhabhironi.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Vabva kuutapwa kuBhabhironi: Jekonia aiva baba vaShearitieri, Shearitieri baba vaZerubhabheri,
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 Zerubhabheri baba vaAbhiudhi, Abhiudhi baba vaEriakimu, Eriakimu baba vaAzori.
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 Azori baba vaZadhoki, Zadhoki baba vaAkimu, Akimu baba vaEriudhi,
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 Eriudhi baba vaEreazari, Ereazari baba vaMatani, Matani baba vaJakobho.
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 Jakobho baba vaJosefa, uyo aiva murume waMaria, uyo akabereka Jesu, anonzi Kristu.
And Jacob begat 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 until the carrying away into Babylon [are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto 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 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 Asi nokuda kwokuti Josefa akanga ari munhu akarurama akafunga zvokumuramba chinyararire, asingamunyadzisi pavazhinji.
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 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 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 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 was spoken of the Lord 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 shall 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,
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 asi haana kusangana naye kusvikira azvara mwana mukomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Jesu.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
