Nawe, Bhetlehema lase-Efrata,

kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba.
Yena uqobo uzoba nokuthula!
IVANGELI LOSUKU
Kusuka kwiVangeli ngokukaMathewu
Mt 1,1: 16.18-23-XNUMX
Uhlu lukaJesu Kristu indodana kaDavide, indodana ka-Abrahama.
U-Abrahama wazala u-Isaka, u-Isaka wazala uJakobe, uJakobe wazala uJuda nabafowabo, uJuda wazala uFares noZara kuTamari, uFares wazala u-Esromu, u-Esrom wazala u-Aramu, u-Aramu wazala u-Aminadaba, u-Aminadaba wazala uNasoni, uNasoni wazala uSalimoni, uSalimoni wazala uBowazi waseRababi, uBozoni. wazala u-Obede kuRuthe, u-Obede wazala uJese, uJese wazala inkosi uDavide.
UDavide wazala uSolomoni ku-Uriya umka-Uriya; uSolomoni wazala uRehobowamu; uRehobowamu wazala u-Abiya; u-Abhiya wazala u-Asafa; u-Asafa wazala uJehoshafati; uJehoshafati wazala uJoramu; uJoramu wazala u-Oza; Wayenguyise kaManase, uManase wazala u-Amose, u-Amose wazala uJosiya, uJosiya wazala uJeconia nabafowabo, ngesikhathi sokudingiselwa eBhabhiloni.
Emva kokudingiselwa eBhabhiloni, u-Ieconia wazala uSalatiyeli, uSalatiyeli wazala uZerobabele, uZerubabele wazala u-Abididi, u-Abhiidi wazala u-Eliyakimi, u-Eliyakimi wazala u-Azori, u-Azori wazala uSadoki, uSadoki wazala u-Akimi, u-Ahimi wazala u-Eliùdi; UJakobe wazala uJosefa, indoda kaMariya, owazalwa uJesu, othiwa uKristu.
Wazalwa kanjalo-ke uJesu Kristu: unina uMariya, esethembisene umshado noJosefa, ngaphambi kokuba bayohlala ndawonye watholakala ekhulelwe ngomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele. Umyeni wakhe uJoseph, njengoba wayeyindoda elungile futhi engafuni ukumbeka icala esidlangalaleni, wanquma ukuhlukanisa naye ngasese.
Esacabanga kanjalo, bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye ephusheni, yathi kuye: “Josefa, ndodana kaDavide, ungesabi ukuthatha uMariya umakoti wakho. Eqinisweni ingane ekhiqizwe kuyo ivela kuMoya oNgcwele; uzozala indodana, uyiqambe igama lokuthi uJesu, ngokuba nguye ozakusindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo ”.
Konke lokhu kwenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke okwashiwo yiNkosi ngomprofethi: "Bheka, intombi izokhulelwa, ibelethe indodana, izakuthiwa igama lika-Emmanuel", okusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu unathi.
