ስሙን ኢየሱስ ትለዋለህ

የማቴዎስ ወንጌል 1:18-25 (አማ54)
የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስም ልደት እንዲህ ነበረ። እናቱ ማርያም ለዮሴፍ በታጨች ጊዜ ሳይገናኙ ከመንፈስ ቅዱስ ፀንሳ ተገኘች። እጮኛዋ ዮሴፍም ጻድቅ ሆኖ ሊገልጣት ስላልወደደ በስውር ሊተዋት አሰበ። እርሱ ግን ይህን ሲያስብ፥ እነሆ የጌታ መልአክ በሕልም ታየው፥ እንዲህም አለ፦ “የዳዊት ልጅ ዮሴፍ ሆይ፥ ከእርስዋ የተፀነሰው ከመንፈስ ቅዱስ ነውና እጮኛህን ማርያምን ለመውሰድ አትፍራ።
ልጅም ትወልዳለች፤ እርሱ ሕዝቡን ከኃጢአታቸው ያድናቸዋልና ስሙን ኢየሱስ ትለዋለህ።”
በነቢዩ ከጌታ ዘንድ፦“እነሆ፥ ድንግል ትፀንሳለች፥ ወንድ ልጅም ትወልዳለች፤ ስሙንም፦ ‘አማኑኤል፡’ ይሉታል፤” የተባለው ይፈጸም ዘንድ ነው፤ ትርጓሜውም፦ “እግዚአብሔር ከእኛ ጋር፡” ነው። ዮሴፍም ከእንቅልፉ ነቅቶ የጌታ መልአክ እንዳዘዘው አደረገ፤ እጮኛውንም ወሰደ የበኩር ልጅዋንም እስክትወልድ ድረስ አላወቃትም፤ ስሙንም፦ “ኢየሱስ፡” ብሎ ጠራው።

Matthew 1:18-25 (ESV)

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”(which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
