and Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah’s,
7 Suleman a nu ngrji Rehoboam, Rehoboam a ngrji Abijah u Abijah ngrji Asa.
and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,

and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
11 Yosiya ngrji Yekoniya ni mrli vayi ma wiere me ni nton wa ba vu ba hi ni Babila.
and Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers, at the Babylonian removal.
12 U wa ba nji ye Babila, Yekoniya ngrji Shealtiel u Shealtiel ngrji Yerubabel.
And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
13 Yerubabel ngrji Abuid, Abuid ngrji Eliakim, u Eliakim ngrji Azor.
and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,

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 begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
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.
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal to the Christ, fourteen generations.
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.
And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from 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)
and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
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.
And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit,
21 Ani ngrji vrenlon wa u yowu ndi Yesu, don ani kpa ndi ma cuwo ni gbugbu latre mba.
and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 To, ahe to yi don ndu tre Baci he na wa a hla din.
And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
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”
“Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “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.
And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
25 Ana rlihe toh wa-a sai wa a ngrji vren ma u mumla. Ayo nde ma di Yesu.
and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
