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

¹⁹Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

¹⁹እጮኛዋ ዮሴፍም ጻድቅ ሆኖ ሊገልጣት ስላልወደደ በስውር ሊተዋት አሰበ።

²⁰But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her 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።

²¹She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

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

²²Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²²በነቢይ ከጌታ ዘንድ።

²³“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel”; which is, being interpreted, “God with us.” Isaiah 7:14

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

²⁴Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

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

²⁵and didn’t know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.

²⁵የበኩር ልጅዋንም እስክትወልድ ድረስ አላወቃትም፤ ስሙንም ኢየሱስ አለው።
