Hiskia ba ne Manase, Manase ba ne Amon; Amon nso ba ne Yosia.
11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Yosia woo Yekonia ne ne nuanom. Wɔwoo wɔn ɛberɛ a na Yudafoɔ te nnommum mu wɔ Babilon no.
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Wɔn a wɔfiri Babilon nnommum mu baeɛ no akyi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nie: Yekonia woo Sealtiel; Sealtiel woo Serubabel.
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
Serubabel woo Abihud; Abihud woo Eliakim; Eliakim nso woo Asor.
14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.
Asor ba ne Sadok; Sadok ba ne Akim; Akim ba ne Elihud.
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,
Elihud ba ne Eleasa; Eleasa ba ne Matan. Matan nso ba ne Yakob;
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Yakob woo Yosef a ɔwaree Maria no. Saa Maria yi na ɔwoo Yesu Kristo.
17 In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
Awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛfiri Abraham so de bɛsi Ɔhene Dawid so yɛ dunan. Ɛfiri Ɔhene Dawid so de bɛsi ɛberɛ a wɔfaa ɔman no nnommum kɔɔ Babilon no nso awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ yɛ dunan saa ara. Saa ara nso na ɛfiri ɛberɛ a wɔtu firii Babilon sane baa wɔn ɔman mu bio no de bɛsi Kristo awoɔ so nso yɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ dunan.
18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
Sɛdeɛ Yesu Kristo awoɔ ho nsɛm teɛ nie: Wɔde ne maame Maria maa Yosef sɛ ɔnware no, nanso ansa na wɔbɛhyiam sɛ awarefoɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ wanyinsɛn deɛ ɛfiri Honhom Kronkron.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Ɛbaa saa no, ne kunu Yosef a ɔdi ne ho ni no ampɛ sɛ ɔbɛgu Maria anim ase enti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛgyaa no awadeɛ kɔkoam.
20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
Ɛberɛ a asɛm no ayɛ Yosef dadwene no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ bɛyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no daeɛ mu. Ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yosef, Dawid aseni, nnyae Maria awadeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, ne nyinsɛn no firi Honhom Kronkron.
21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
Ɔbɛwo ɔbarima na wɔato no edin Yesu, aseɛ ne Agyenkwa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔbɛgye ne nkurɔfoɔ nkwa afiri wɔn bɔne mu.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Yei nyinaa baa mu de hyɛɛ deɛ Awurade nam odiyifoɔ no so kaeɛ no ma sɛ:
23 “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
“Ɔbaabunu no bɛnyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔato no edin Immanuel” a aseɛ ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.”
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
Ɛberɛ a Yosef nyaneeɛ no, ɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɔfoɔ no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Enti ɔkɔfaa Maria baa ne fie ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere.
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
Yosef ne Maria anhyia da kɔsii sɛ Maria woo ɔbabarima maa Yosef too ne din “Yesu.”
