¹⁶ያዕቆብም ክርስቶስ የተባለውን ኢየሱስን የወለደች የማርያምን እጮኛ ዮሴፍን ወለደ።

¹⁷So 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.

¹⁷እንግዲህ ትውልድ ሁሉ ከአብርሃም እስከ ዳዊት አሥራ አራት ትውልድ፥ ከዳዊትም እስከ ባቢሎን ምርኮ አሥራ አራት ትውልድ፥ ከባቢሎንም ምርኮ እስከ ክርስቶስ አሥራ አራት ትውልድ ነው።

¹⁸Now 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.

¹⁸የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስም ልደት እንዲህ ነበረ። እናቱ ማርያም ለዮሴፍ በታጨች ጊዜ ሳይገናኙ ከመንፈስ ቅዱስ ፀንሳ ተገኘች።

¹⁹Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

¹⁹እጮኛዋ ዮሴፍም ጻድቅ ሆኖ ሊገልጣት ስላልወደደ በስውር ሊተዋት አሰበ።

²⁰But 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.

²⁰እርሱ ግን ይህን ሲያስብ፥ እነሆ የጌታ መልአክ በሕልም ታየው፥ እንዲህም አለ። የዳዊት ልጅ ዮሴፍ ሆይ፥ ከእርስዋ የተፀነሰው ከመንፈስ ቅዱስ ነውና እጮኛህን ማርያምን ለመውሰድ አትፍራ።

²¹And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

²¹ልጅም ትወልዳለች፤ እርሱ ሕዝቡን ከኃጢአታቸው ያድናቸዋልና ስሙን ኢየሱስ ትለዋለህ።

²²Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

²²በነቢይ ከጌታ ዘንድ።

²³Behold, 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.

²³እነሆ፥ ድንግል ትፀንሳለች ልጅም ትወልዳለች፥ ስሙንም አማኑኤል ይሉታል የተባለው ይፈጸም ዘንድ ይህ ሁሉ ሆኖአል፥ ትርጓሜውም። እግዚአብሔር ከእኛ ጋር የሚል ነው።

²⁴Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

²⁴ዮሴፍም ከእንቅልፉ ነቅቶ የጌታ መልአክ እንዳዘዘው አደረገ፤ እጮኛውንም ወሰደ፤

²⁵And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

²⁵የበኩር ልጅዋንም እስክትወልድ ድረስ አላወቃትም፤ ስሙንም ኢየሱስ አለው።
