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

10 and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,

11 and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers during the Babylonian exile.
Josiya avali njisi wa Jekoniya ni vanche he nako i vavaka luwitwe kwa Bavilona.
12 And after the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
Mi kuzwa ha kuka luwiwa kwa Babilona, Jekoniya a vali njisi wa Salatiele, Salatiele a vali muzimu wa Zerubabele.

16 and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jokobo avali nji si wa Josefa mwihyabwe wa Maria, kakwe Jesu na zalwa, yo sumpwa Keresite.
17 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.
Mahasi onse ku zwa kwa Abrahama ku ya kwa Daafita a vali mahasi ena ikumi lyonke ni one, kuzwa kwa Daafita kuya ha vaka luwiwa kwa Babilona ku leta kwa Keresite avali masika ena ikumi lyonke ni one.
18 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.
Ku zalwa kwa Jesu Keresite kuva chitahali mu nzila i chilila. Inyina, Maria, ava veelezwe kuti a seswe kwa Josefa, kono pili ni vaseni kwiza hamwina, ava waniki ha menzi mahya cha Luhuho lu Jolola.
19 But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
Mwihyavwe, Josefa, avali mukwane yo shiyeme, kono kana a vali kusaka ku shuvulisa mwihyabve iñandaleza. Cwale cha nahana ku manisa che nkunutu ku li veereza kwaakwe naye.
20 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.
Havali kusi nahana cezi zintu, Iñeloi lya Ireza ni lya livonisa kwali mu chiloto, liti, “Josefa, mwana wa Daafita, kanji u tiyi to hinda Maria kuva muhwenu, kakuli yo lihinditwe kwali avali ku lihindwa cha Luhuho lu Jolola.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.
Mwa zale mwana' mushisu, mi momu ulike izina lya Jesu, mukuti ka puluse vantu vakwe ku zivi zavo.”
22 Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
Izo zonse zi va pangahali kwi zuziliza chiva wambiwa kwa Simwine cha muporofita, nati,
23 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.
“Mu vone, mwalyango mwave ha menzi mahya, mi mwa zale mwana' shwisu, mi mu va mu sumpe izina lyakwe Imanuere”- i talusa, “Ireza wina neswe.”
24 And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
Josefa ha vuka ku ñonzi zakwe ni ku chita ka kuya ke Iñeloi lya Simwine muli va mu laeli mi ca mu hinda kuva mwihyavwe.
25 and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
Kono kana aba lali naye konji ha zala mwana' mushisu. Mi ava mu sumpisi izina lya Jesu.
