and Salmon begot Boaz from Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed from Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse,
6 nombe che Yese ŵammeleche Mwenye che Daudi. Che Daudi ŵammeleche che Selemani, achikulu ŵao che Selemani ŵaliji ŵankwawo che Ulia.
and Jesse begot David the king. And David begot Solomon from the widow of Uriah,

and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,

and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
9 Che Usia ŵammeleche che Yosamu ni che Yosamu ŵammeleche che Ahasi ni che Ahasi ŵammeleche che Esekiya ni,
and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
10 Che Esekiya ŵammeleche che Manase ni che Manase ŵammeleche che Amoni ni che Amoni ŵammeleche che Yosia ni,
and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
11 Che Yosia ŵammeleche che Yekonia ni achapwakwe. Keleko kaliji katema kakwasamichisya Ŵayahudi ku chilambo cha ku Babeli.
and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers during the Babylonian exile.
12 Nipele, Ŵayahudi paŵaiche ku chilambo cha Babeli, che Yekonia ŵammeleche che Sealitieli ni che Sealitieli ŵammeleche che Selubabeli ni,
And after the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
13 Che Selubabeli ŵammeleche che Abiudi ni che Abiudi ŵammeleche che Eliakimu ni che Eliakimu ŵammeleche che Asoli.
and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,
14 Che Asoli ŵammeleche che Sadoki ni che Sadoki ŵammeleche che Akimu ni che Akimu ŵammeleche che Eliudi,
and Azor begot Zadoc, and Zadoc begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud,
15 Che Eliudi ŵammeleche che Eliasali ni che Eliasali ŵammeleche che Matani ni che Matani ŵammeleche che Yakobo,
and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
16 Che Yakobo ŵammeleche che Yusufu, ŵankwawo che Maliamu achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito Jwakuwombola.
and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Pelepo paliji ni iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela che Iblahimu kwaichilila che Daudi, iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela che Daudi mpaka Ŵayahudi paŵajigalikwe ku usami ku Babeli ni iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela kwigalikwa ku usami kuichila katema ka Kilisito.
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 Yelei ni iŵatite pakupagwa Che Yesu Kilisito, che Maliamu, achikulugwe, ŵaliji atomelwe ni che Yusufu. Nambo akanaŵe kuwonegana mpela mundu ni ŵankwakwe, che Maliamu ŵalisimene ali ŵapachiilu kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
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 Nombe che Yusufu ŵankwakwe pakuŵa ŵaliji mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu nganasaka kwachembulusya che Maliamu pa ŵandu, ŵasachile kwaleka pangaimanyilila ŵandu.
But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
20 Nombewo paŵaliji aninkuganisya yeleyo, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵankopochele mu sagamisi, ŵansalile, “Che Yusufu mwana ju che Daudi nkajogopa kwajigala che Maliamu kuŵa ŵankwenu, ligongo ali ŵapachiilu kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
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 Chaligopole mwanache jwannume nomwe chimwape liina lyakwe Che Yesu, pakuŵa jwelejo ni juchiŵakulupusye ŵandu ŵakwe mu sambi syao.”
And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Nipele yoseyo yakopochele kuti liŵe isyene, liloŵe lya Ambuje liŵaŵechete kwa litala lya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu achitiji,
Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
23 “Mwalimwalipe chaŵe jwapachiilu, chaligopole mwanache jwannume, nombewo chachaŵilanga Emanueli” malumbo gakwe, “Akunnungu ali pamo ni uwe.”
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 Nombe che Yusufu paŵajimwiche, ŵatesile ilaila iŵatite pakusala katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje, ŵanjigele che Maliamu ŵankwawo ni kwaulanawo kumangwao.
And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
25 Nambo nganawonegana nawo mpaka che Maliamu paŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume. Nombe che Yusufu ŵampele liina lyakwe Che Yesu.
and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
