Matthew 1
1 A book of a genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Tala molongo ya mbotama ya Yesu-Klisto, mokitani ya Davidi mpe ya Abrayami:
2 Abraham begot Isaac, and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers,
Abrayami abotaki Izaki; Izaki abotaki Jakobi; Jakobi abotaki Yuda mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali;
3 and Judah begot Perez and Zerah from Tamar, and Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram,
Yuda abotaki Peretsi mpe Zera na nzela ya Tamari, mwasi na ye; Peretsi abotaki Etsironi; Etsironi abotaki Arami;
4 and Ram begot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
Arami abotaki Aminadabi; Aminadabi abotaki Nashoni, mpe Nashoni abotaki Salima;
5 and Salmon begot Boaz from Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed from Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse,
Salima abotaki Boazi na nzela ya Raabi, mwasi na ye; Boazi abotaki Obedi na nzela ya Rite, mwasi na ye; Obedi abotaki Izayi,
6 and Jesse begot David the king. And David begot Solomon from the widow of Uriah,
mpe Izayi abotaki mokonzi Davidi. Davidi abotaki Salomo na nzela ya mwasi ya Uri;
7 and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,
Salomo abotaki Roboami; Roboami abotaki Abiya; Abiya abotaki Asa;
8 and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
Asa abotaki Jozafati; Jozafati abotaki Yorami; Yorami abotaki Oziasi;
9 and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
Oziasi abotaki Yotami; Yotami abotaki Akazi; Akazi abotaki Ezekiasi;
10 and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
Ezekiasi abotaki Manase; Manase abotaki Amoni; Amoni abotaki Joziasi;
11 and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers during the Babylonian exile.
Joziasi abotaki Yekonia mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali wana bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na bowumbu, na Babiloni.
12 And after the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
Sima na bana ya Isalaele kokende na bowumbu, na Babiloni, Yekonia abotaki Shealitieli; Shealitieli abotaki Zorobabeli;
13 and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,
Zorobabeli abotaki Abiwudi; Abiwudi abotaki Eliakimi; Eliakimi abotaki Azori;
14 and Azor begot Zadoc, and Zadoc begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud,
Azori abotaki Tsadoki; Tsadoki abotaki Akimi; Akimi abotaki Eliwudi;
15 and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
Eliwudi abotaki Eleazari; Eleazari abotaki Matani; Matani abotaki Jakobi;
16 and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakobi abotaki Jozefi, mobali ya Mari; mpe Mari azalaki mama ya Yesu oyo babengaka Klisto.
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.
Kobanda na Abrayami kino na Davidi, elekaki bikeke zomi na minei; kobanda na Davidi kino na tango oyo bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na bowumbu, na Babiloni, elekaki lisusu bikeke zomi na minei; mpe kobanda na bowumbu, na Babiloni, kino na Klisto, elekaki lisusu bikeke zomi na minei.
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.
Tala ndenge nini Yesu-Klisto abotamaki: Mari, mama na Ye, azalaki mobandami ya libala na Jozefi; kasi liboso ete bavanda ndako moko, Mari akomaki na zemi na nguya ya Molimo Mosantu.
19 But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
Jozefi, mobandami na ye ya libala, azalaki moto ya sembo. Boye, lokola Jozefi alingaki te koyokisa Mari soni na miso ya bato, azwaki mokano ya koboya Mari na kimia.
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.
Wana Jozefi azalaki kokanisa makambo yango, anjelu na Nkolo abimelaki ye kati na ndoto mpe alobaki na ye: « Jozefi, mokitani ya Davidi, kobanga te kobala Mari; pamba te zemi oyo azali na yango ewuti na Molimo Mosantu.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.
Akobota mwana mobali mpe okopesa Ye kombo Yesu, pamba te akobikisa bato na Ye na masumu na bango. »
22 Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo Nkolo alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli:
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.
« Elenge mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te akokoma na zemi mpe akobota mwana mobali, bongo bakopesa Ye kombo Emanwele oyo elingi koloba: Nzambe elongo na biso. »
24 And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
Tango Jozefi alamukaki, asalaki makambo oyo anjelu na Nkolo atindaki ye kosala mpe azwaki Mari lokola mwasi na ye.
25 and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
Kasi Jozefi asangisaki nzoto te na Mari kino tango Mari abotaki mwana mobali; mpe Jozefi apesaki Ye kombo Yesu.
