< Matthew 1 >
1 The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Kitabu cha lukolo lwa Yesu Kristo mwana wa Daudi, mwana wa Ibrahimu,
2 The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
Ibrahimu abile tate ba Isaka, ni Isaka tate bake Yakobo, ni Yakobo tate ba Yuda ni nuna bake.
3 And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
Yuda abile tate ba Peresi ni Sera kwa Tamari, Peresi tate ba Hezeroni, ni Hezeroni tate ba Ramu.
4 And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
Ramu abile tate ba Aminadabu, Aminadabu tate ba Nashoni, ni Nashoni tate ba Salimoni,
5 And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
Salimoni abile tate ba Boazi kwa Rahabu, Boazi tate ba Obedi kwa Ruth, Obedi tate ba Yese,
6 And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
Yese abile tate ba mpwalume Daudi, Daudi abile tate ba Sulemani kwa nnyumbo wa Uria.
7 And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
Sulemani abile tate ba Rehoboamu, Rehoboamu tate ba Abiya, Abiya tate ba Asa.
8 And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
Asa abile tate ba Yehishafati tate ba Yoramu, ni Yoramu tate ba Uzia.
9 And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
Uzia abile tate ba Yothamu, Yothamu tate ba Ahazi, Ahazi tate ba Hezekia.
10 And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
Hezekia abile tate ba Manase, Manase baba ba Amoni ni Amoni tate ba Yosia.
11 And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
Yosia abile tate ba Yekonia ni kaka bake wakati pabatolilwe yenda Babeli.
12 And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
Ni baada ya tolelwa yenda Babeli, Yekonia abile tate ba Shatieli abile babu bake ni Zarubabeli.
13 And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
Zarubabeli abile tate ba Abiudi, Abiudi tate ba Eliakimu, ni Eliakimu tate ba Azori,
14 And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
Azori abile tate ba Zadoki, Zadoki tate ba akimu, ni Akimu baba ba Eliudi.
15 And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
Eliudi abile tate ba Eliaza, Eliaza tate ba Matani ni Matani tate ba Yakobo.
16 And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
Yakobo abile tate ba Yusufu nsengo wa Mariamu, ambaye kwa Yembe Yesu abelekilwe, ywa kemwa Kristo.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
Ibelei yoti tangu Ibrahimu hadi Daudi yabile ibelei komi ni ncheche, kuoma Daudi hadi kutoliwa yenda Babeli ibelei komi ni ncheche, ni kuoma kutoliwa yenda Babeli mpaka Kristo yabile ibelei komi ni ncheche.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
Belekwa kwa Yesu Kristo kwabile nyonyo, Mao bake, Mariamu, achumbilwe ni Yusufu, lakini babi bado gonja pamope, abonekine kubi ni ndumbo kwa uwezo ba Roho mtakatifu.
19 And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
Nchengo bake, Yusufu, abile mundu wa Nnongo apendi kwaa kumpeya oni. Amweni anneka kwa siri.
20 But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
Pabilekagawaza kunani makowe ago, Malaika ba Ngwana ampili mundoto, kakoya, “Yusufu mwana wa Daudi, kana uyogope kuntola Mariamu kuba nnyumbo bako, kwa sababu ndumbo abi nayo ni kwa uweza wa Roho mtakatifu.
21 And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
Alowa beleka mwana nnalome ni walowa kunkema lina lyake Yesu, kati apala kubalopwa bandu bake kuoma musambi zabe.”
22 Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
Ngoti yega yapitike kamirisha chelo sabakilwe kwa ndela ya manabii, kakoya,
23 See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
Lola, bikira apatola ndumbo ni beleka mwana nnalome, ni akemwa lina lyake Imanueli maana yake, “Nnongo pamope natwenga.”
24 And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
Yusufu atiyumuka kuoma mulugono ni panga kati malaika wa Ngwana akoite nga atikumpotwa kati nnyumbo bake.
25 And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
Palyo, agonjike kwaa nakwe mpaka paapapite mwana wake nnalome akemilwe lina lyake Yesu.
