ary Josia niteraka an'i Jekonia mirahalahy avy, tamin'ny nifindrana tany Babylona.

And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

Ary taorian'ny nifindrana tany Babylona Jekonia dia niteraka an'i Sealtiela; ary Sealtiela niteraka an'i Zerobabela;

And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

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 unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Ary ny taranaka rehetra hatramin'i Abrahama ka hatramin'i Davida dia taranaka efatra ambin'ny folo; ary hatramin'i Davida ka hatramin'ny nifindrana tany Babylona dia taranaka efatra ambin'ny folo; ary hatramin'ny nifindrana tany Babylona ka hatramin'i Kristy dia taranaka efatra ambin'ny folo.

Now 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.

Ary ny nahaterahan'i Jesosy Kristy dia toy izao: Rehefa nanaiky Maria, renin'i Jesosy, ho fofombadin'i Josefa, raha tsy mbola nivady izy, dia hita fa nitoe-jaza avy tamin'ny Fanahy Masina izy.

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

Ary Josefa vadiny, izay lehilahy marina sady tsy ta-hanala baraka azy, dia nikasa hametraka azy mangingina.

But 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.

Fa raha mbola nisaina izany izy, indro, nisy anjelin'ny Tompo niseho taminy tamin'ny nofy ka nanao hoe: Ry Josefa, zanak'i Davida, aza matahotra hampakatra an'i Maria vadinao; fa ny Zaza ao an-kibony dia avy amin'ny Fanahy Masina,

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

ka hiteraka Zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany hataonao hoe Jesosy; fa Izy no hamonjy ny olony ho afaka amin'ny fahotany.

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

Ary izany rehetra izany dia tonga mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazain'ny Tompo ny mpaminany hoe:

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.

Indro, ny virijina hitoe-jaza ka hiteraka zazalahy; Ary ny anarany hataon'ny olona hoe Imanoela (Isa. 7. 14), izany hoe, raha adika: Amintsika Andriamanitra.

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

Ary Josefa, rehefa nahatsiaro tamin'ny torimasony, dia nanao araka izay nandidian'ny anjelin'ny Tompo ary ka nampakatra ny vadiny.

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

Ary tsy nahalala azy izy mandra-piterany Zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Jesosy.
