Mateo 1
1 Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yamadzitateguru aJesu Kristu mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, mwanakomana waAbhurahama:
A record of the genealogy 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 was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
3 Judha baba vaPerezi naZera, mai vavo vaiva Tamari, Perezi baba vaHezironi, Hezironi baba vaRamu,
and Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,
4 Ramu baba vaAminadhabhu, Aminadhabhu baba vaNashoni, Nashoni baba vaSarimoni,
and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,
5 Sarimoni baba vaBhoazi, mai vake vari Rahabhi, Bhoazi baba vaObhedhi, mai vake vari Rute, Obhedhi baba vaJese,
and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse,
6 naJese baba vamambo Dhavhidhi. Dhavhidhi aiva baba vaSoromoni, mai vake ndivo vaimbova mukadzi waUria,
and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 Soromoni baba vaRehobhoamu, Rehobhoamu baba vaAbhija, Abhija baba vaAsa,
and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
8 Asa baba vaJehoshafati, Jehoshafati baba vaJoramu, Joramu baba vaUzia,
and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
9 Uzia baba vaJotamu, Jotamu baba vaAhazi, Ahazi baba vaHezekia.
and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
10 Hezekia baba vaManase, Manase baba vaAmoni, Amoni baba vaJosia,
and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
11 naJosia baba vaJekonia navanunʼuna vake panguva yavaiva kuutapwa muBhabhironi.
and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 Vabva kuutapwa kuBhabhironi: Jekonia aiva baba vaShearitieri, Shearitieri baba vaZerubhabheri,
And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13 Zerubhabheri baba vaAbhiudhi, Abhiudhi baba vaEriakimu, Eriakimu baba vaAzori.
and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,
14 Azori baba vaZadhoki, Zadhoki baba vaAkimu, Akimu baba vaEriudhi,
and Azzur the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Ahiam, and Ahiam the father of Elihud,
15 Eriudhi baba vaEreazari, Ereazari baba vaMatani, Matani baba vaJakobho.
and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
16 Jakobho baba vaJosefa, uyo aiva murume waMaria, uyo akabereka Jesu, anonzi Kristu.
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the 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 exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Christ, 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 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 Asi nokuda kwokuti Josefa akanga ari munhu akarurama akafunga zvokumuramba chinyararire, asingamunyadzisi pavazhinji.
And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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 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 Achava nomwana mukomana wauchazotumidza zita rokuti Jesu nokuti ndiye achaponesa vanhu vake kubva muzvivi zvavo.”
And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Izvi zvose zvakaitika kuti zvizadzise zvakanga zvataurwa naIshe kubudikidza nomuprofita wake zvokuti:
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Mhandara ichava napamuviri, igozvara mwana mukomana, uye vachamutumidza zita rokuti Emanueri, zvichireva kuti, ‘Mwari anesu.’”
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 Josefa paakapepuka, akaita sezvaakanga arayirwa nomutumwa waIshe, uye akatora Maria somukadzi wake,
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 asi haana kusangana naye kusvikira azvara mwana mukomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Jesu.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
