And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 Asa ndokubereka Josafati; Josafati ndokubereka Joramu; Joramu ndokubereka Oziasi;
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 Oziasi ndokubereka Jotamu; Jotamu ndokubereka Akazi; Akazi ndokubereka Hezekia;

And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 Josiyasi ndokubereka Jekoniasi nevanakomana vamai vake nenguva yekutapirwa kuBhabhironi.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Zvino shure kwekutapirwa kuBhabhironi, Jekoniasi wakabereka Saratieri; Saratieri ndokubereka Zerubhabheri;
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

16 Jakobho ndokubereka Josefa murume waMaria, kwakazvarwa kwaari Jesu, anonzi Kristu.
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Naizvozvo mazera ese kubva kuna Abhurahama kusvikira kuna Dhavhidhi mazera gumi nemana; nekubva kuna Dhavhidhi kusvikira pakutapirwa kuBhabhironi mazera gumi nemana; nekubva pakutapirwa kuBhabhironi kusvikira kuna Kristu mazera gumi nemana.
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 to Christ [are] fourteen generations.
18 Zvino kuberekwa kwaJesu Kristu kwaiva kwakadai: Nokuti mai vake Maria vakati vatsidzirwa kuroorwa naJosefa, vasati vasangana vakaonekwa vava nemimba kubva kuMweya Mutsvene.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Zvino Josefa murume wavo zvaakange ari wakarurama, asingadi kuvafumura, waida kuvaramba muchivande.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away privately.
20 Asi zvino wakati acharangarira zvinhu izvozvi, tarira, mutumwa waIshe wakaonekwa kwaari muchiroto achiti: Josefa, mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, usatya kuzvitorera Maria mukadzi wako; nokuti icho chakaumbwa maari ndecheMweya Mutsvene.
But while he thought on these things, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
21 Uye achabereka Mwanakomana, uye uchatumidza zita rake Jesu, nokuti iye achaponesa vanhu vake pazvivi 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 Zvino zvese izvozvi zvakaitwa kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe kubudikidza nemuporofita achiti:
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Tarira, mhandara ichava nemimba, igobereka Mwanakomana, uye vachatumidza zita rake Emanueri, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, 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 Zvino Josefa amuka pahope akaita sezvakaraira mutumwa waIshe kwaari, akazvitorera mukadzi wake;
Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
25 uye haana kumuziva kusvikira azvara Mwanakomana wake wedangwe; akatumidza zita rake JESU.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS.
