Mateyu 1
1 Buku lofotokoza za mʼbado wa Yesu Khristu mwana wa Davide, mwana wa Abrahamu:
A book of a genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abrahamu anabereka Isake, Isake anabereka Yakobo, Yakobo anabereka Yuda ndi abale ake.
Abraham begot Isaac, and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers,
3 Yuda anabereka Perezi ndi Zara, amene amayi awo anali Tamara. Perezi anabereka Hezironi, Hezironi anabereka Aramu.
and Judah begot Perez and Zerah from Tamar, and Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram,
4 Aramu anabereka Aminadabu, Aminadabu anabereka Naasoni, Naasoni anabereka Salimoni.
and Ram begot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
5 Salimoni anabereka Bowazi amene amayi ake anali Rahabe, Bowazi anabereka Obedi amene amayi ake anali Rute, Obedi anabereka Yese.
and Salmon begot Boaz from Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed from Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse,
6 Yese anabereka Mfumu Davide. Ndipo Davide anabereka Solomoni, amene amayi ake anali mkazi wa Uriya.
and Jesse begot David the king. And David begot Solomon from the widow of Uriah,
7 Solomoni anabereka Rehabiamu, Rehabiamu anabereka Abiya, Abiya anabereka Asa,
and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,
8 Asa anabereka Yehosafati, Yehosafati anabereka Yoramu, Yoramu anabereka Uziya.
and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
9 Uziya anabereka Yotamu, Yotamu anabereka Ahazi, Ahazi anabereka Hezekiya.
and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
10 Hezekiya anabereka Manase, Manase anabereka Amoni, Amoni anabereka Yosiya.
and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
11 Yosiya anali atabala Yekoniya ndi abale ake pamene Ayuda anatengedwa ukapolo kupita ku Babuloni.
and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers during the Babylonian exile.
12 Ali ku ukapolo ku Babuloni, Yekoniya anabereka Salatieli, Salatieli anabereka Zerubabeli.
And after the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
13 Zerubabeli anabereka Abiudi, Abiudi anabereka Eliakimu, Eliakimu anabereka Azoro.
and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,
14 Azoro anabereka Zadoki, Zadoki anabereka Akimu, Akimu anabereka Eliudi.
and Azor begot Zadoc, and Zadoc begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud,
15 Eliudi anabereka Eliezara, Eliezara anabereka Matani, Matani anabereka Yakobo.
and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
16 Yakobo anabereka Yosefe, mwamuna wa Mariya. Mariyayu ndiye anabereka Yesu wotchedwa Khristu.
and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Kuyambira pa Abrahamu mpaka pa Davide, pali mibado khumi ndi inayi. Ndipo kuyambira pa Davide mpaka pamene Ayuda anatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo ku Babuloni, pali mibado khumi ndi inayi. Ndiponso kuyambira nthawi ya ukapolo ku Babuloni mpaka pamene Khristu anabadwa, palinso mibado khumi ndi inayi.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian exile fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian exile to the Christ fourteen generations.
18 Kubadwa kwa Yesu Khristu kunali motere: Amayi ake, Mariya, anapalidwa ubwenzi ndi Yosefe, koma asanagone malo amodzi, anapezeka ali woyembekezera mwana mwa mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from the Holy Spirit.
19 Popeza Yosefe mwamuna wake anali munthu wolungama, sanafune kumuchititsa manyazi pomuleka poyera. Choncho anaganiza zomuleka mosaonetsera.
But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
20 Koma akuganiza zimenezi, taonani, mngelo wa Ambuye anamuonekera mʼmaloto nati, “Yosefe mwana wa Davide, usaope kumutenga Mariya kukhala mkazi wako, chifukwa mwana akuyembekezerayo ndi wochokera kwa Mzimu Woyera.
But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, udzamutcha dzina lake Yesu; pakuti Iyeyo adzapulumutsa anthu ake ku machimo awo.”
And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Zonsezi zinachitika kukwaniritsa zimene Ambuye ananena mwa mneneri kuti,
Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
23 “Onani namwali adzakhala woyembekezera ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo mwanayo adzamutcha Imanueli,” kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu ali nafe.”
Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.
24 Yosefe atadzuka, anachita zomwe mngelo wa Ambuye uja anamulamulira. Iye anamutenga Mariya kukhala mkazi wake.
And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
25 Koma sanagone malo amodzi mpaka mwanayo atabadwa ndipo anamutcha dzina lake Yesu.
and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
