¹⁷All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, 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።

¹⁸And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,

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

¹⁹and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.

¹⁹እጮኛዋ ዮሴፍም ጻድቅ ሆኖ ሊገልጣት ስላልወደደ በስውር ሊተዋት አሰበ።

²⁰And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, `Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,

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።

²²And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²²በነቢይ ከጌታ ዘንድ።

²³`Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,` which is, being interpreted `With us [he is] God.`

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

²⁴And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,

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

²⁵and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.

²⁵የበኩር ልጅዋንም እስክትወልድ ድረስ አላወቃትም፤ ስሙንም ኢየሱስ አለው።
