and Jacob of Joseph the husband of Mary, who was the mother of 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.
There are therefore, in all, fourteen generations from Abraham to David; fourteen from David to the Removal to Babylon; and fourteen from the Removal to Babylon to the Christ.
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.
The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Asi nokuda kwokuti Josefa akanga ari munhu akarurama akafunga zvokumuramba chinyararire, asingamunyadzisi pavazhinji.
But Joseph her husband, being a kind-hearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal.
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 was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.
21 Achava nomwana mukomana wauchazotumidza zita rokuti Jesu nokuti ndiye achaponesa vanhu vake kubva muzvivi zvavo.”
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name JESUS for He it is who will save His People from their sins."
22 Izvi zvose zvakaitika kuti zvizadzise zvakanga zvataurwa naIshe kubudikidza nomuprofita wake zvokuti:
All this took place in fulfilment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet,
23 “Mhandara ichava napamuviri, igozvara mwana mukomana, uye vachamutumidza zita rokuti Emanueri, zvichireva kuti, ‘Mwari anesu.’”
"Mark! The maiden will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call His name Immanuel" --a word which signifies 'God with us'.
24 Josefa paakapepuka, akaita sezvaakanga arayirwa nomutumwa waIshe, uye akatora Maria somukadzi wake,
When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife,
25 asi haana kusangana naye kusvikira azvara mwana mukomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Jesu.
but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called JESUS.
