Matiyu 1
1 Vuvu u Yesu Kristi ivren Dauda, ivren u Ibrahim.
This book is the record of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham, beginning with the family line:
2 Ibrahim a ngrji Ishaku, Ishaku ka ngrji Yakubu, u Yakubu a ngrji Yahuda ni ba mrli vayi ma.
Abraham was the father of Isaac; and Isaac the father of Jacob; and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers;
3 Yahuda a ngrji Perez mba Zerah ngrji u Tamar, Perez ngrji Hezron, u Hezron ngrji Ram.
and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah (their mother was Tamar); and Perez the father of Hezron; and Hezron the father of Ram;
4 Ram ngrji Amminadah, Amminadah ngrji Nahshon, u Nahshon ngrji Salmon.
and Ram the father of Amminadab; and Amminadab the father of Nahshon; and Nahshon the father of Salmon;
5 Salmon ngrji Boaz ngrji Rahab, Baoz ngrji Obadiya ngrji u Rautha, Obadiya ngrji Jesse.

6 U Jesse ngrji ichu Dauda. Ichu Dauda ngrji Suleman wa iyima ana wa Uraya
and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon (his mother had been Uriah's wife);
7 Suleman a nu ngrji Rehoboam, Rehoboam a ngrji Abijah u Abijah ngrji Asa.
and Solomon the father of Rehoboam; and Rehoboam the father of Abijah; and Abijah the father of Asa;
8 Asa ngrji Jehoshafat, Jehoshafat ngrji Joram, Joram ngrji Uzziya.
and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram; and Jehoram the father of Uzziah;
9 Uzziya ngrji Jotham, Jotham ngrji Ahaz u Ahaz ngrji Hezekaya.
and Uzziah the father of Jotham; and Jotham the father of Ahaz; and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
10 Hazekaya a ngrji Manaseh, Manaseh a ngrji Amon u Amon ngrji Yosiya.
and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh; and Manasseh the father of Amon; and Amon the father of Josiah;
11 Yosiya ngrji Yekoniya ni mrli vayi ma wiere me ni nton wa ba vu ba hi ni Babila.
and Josiah the father of Jehoiachin and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 U wa ba nji ye Babila, Yekoniya ngrji Shealtiel u Shealtiel ngrji Yerubabel.
After the exile to Babylon, Jehoiachin was the father of Shealtiel; and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel;
13 Yerubabel ngrji Abuid, Abuid ngrji Eliakim, u Eliakim ngrji Azor.
and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud; and Abiud the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim the father of Azor;

15 Eliud ngrji Eleazer, Eleazer
and Eliud the father of Eleazar; and Eleazar the father of Matthan; and Matthan the father of Jacob;
16 ngrji Matthan, u Matthan ngrji Yakubu. U Yakubu ngrji Yusufu illon Maryamu wa a ngrji Yesu wa ba yo'u din Kristi.
and Jacob was the father of Joseph, who was the husband of Mary, to whom Jesus was born, the one who is called the Messiah.
17 To inzan ba wawu rji ni Ibrahim hi Dauda ba wlon don zia, rji ni Dauda hi ntton wa ba vu hi ni Babila bahi izan zia, u rji ni ni ntton u wa bahe ni Babila hi ni ye Kristi ba nzan wlon don zia.
So all the generations from Abraham to David add up to fourteen; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen; and from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah, fourteen.
18 Ingrji Yesu Kristi ahe towa: wa ba nna yima Maryamu ni Yusufu gben ntton wa baka gran kpa, u nne Ruhu tsatsar ye riwu.
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened. His mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, but before they slept together she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 U Yusufu illon ma indi u klu Rji, nda na son nno shan na, a cu sron ma rju ni gran nda kama ni wu niyay'bi (aboye)
Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and didn't want to shame her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement discreetly.
20 Amma, asi tamre towa, u malaika Baci ka ye niwu ni rah nda tre, “Yusufu, ivren Dauda, na klu sisri ban wame Maryamu na, don ikpie a wrji anne ma, a u Ruhu tsatsar.
While he was thinking about all of this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him, “Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to marry Mary because she is pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
21 Ani ngrji vrenlon wa u yowu ndi Yesu, don ani kpa ndi ma cuwo ni gbugbu latre mba.
She will give birth to a son and you shall call him Jesus, for he will save people from their sins.”
22 To, ahe to yi don ndu tre Baci he na wa a hla din.
(Now this all happened to fulfill what the Lord said through the prophet:
23 “To mba, vivren wa ri wa ana to lillona ani ye he nne nda ngrji vrenlon wa ba yo wa ndi Imanuwal” wa hi riri ni “Irji he nita”
“A virgin will become pregnant, and will give birth to a son. They will call him Immanuel,” which means “God with us.”)
24 U Yusufu, gbla sh'me ni nah tie ikpie wa Malaika hla niwu nda hi ka ban wa-a hi ni kpama.
Joseph woke up and did what the angel of the Lord told him to do.
25 Ana rlihe toh wa-a sai wa a ngrji vren ma u mumla. Ayo nde ma di Yesu.
Joseph married Mary, but did not sleep with her until after she had given birth to a son, whom he named Jesus.
