6 and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon, of her [that had been the wife] of Urias;

11 and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon.
Yosiya anali atabala Yekoniya ndi abale ake pamene Ayuda anatengedwa ukapolo kupita ku Babuloni.
12 And after the carrying away of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel,
Ali ku ukapolo ku Babuloni, Yekoniya anabereka Salatieli, Salatieli anabereka Zerubabeli.
13 and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,

15 and Eliud begat Eliazar, and Eliazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,

16 and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Yakobo anabereka Yosefe, mwamuna wa Mariya. Mariyayu ndiye anabereka Yesu wotchedwa Khristu.
17 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [were] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
Kuyambira pa Abrahamu mpaka pa Davide, pali mibado khumi ndi inayi. Ndipo kuyambira pa Davide mpaka pamene Ayuda anatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo ku Babuloni, pali mibado khumi ndi inayi. Ndiponso kuyambira nthawi ya ukapolo ku Babuloni mpaka pamene Khristu anabadwa, palinso mibado khumi ndi inayi.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of [the] Holy Spirit.
Kubadwa kwa Yesu Khristu kunali motere: Amayi ake, Mariya, anapalidwa ubwenzi ndi Yosefe, koma asanagone malo amodzi, anapezeka ali woyembekezera mwana mwa mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera.
19 But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;
Popeza Yosefe mwamuna wake anali munthu wolungama, sanafune kumuchititsa manyazi pomuleka poyera. Choncho anaganiza zomuleka mosaonetsera.
20 but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to [thee] Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit.
Koma akuganiza zimenezi, taonani, mngelo wa Ambuye anamuonekera mʼmaloto nati, “Yosefe mwana wa Davide, usaope kumutenga Mariya kukhala mkazi wako, chifukwa mwana akuyembekezerayo ndi wochokera kwa Mzimu Woyera.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
Ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, udzamutcha dzina lake Yesu; pakuti Iyeyo adzapulumutsa anthu ake ku machimo awo.”
22 Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through the prophet, saying,
Zonsezi zinachitika kukwaniritsa zimene Ambuye ananena mwa mneneri kuti,
23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, 'God with us.'
“Onani namwali adzakhala woyembekezera ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo mwanayo adzamutcha Imanueli,” kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu ali nafe.”
24 But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of [the] Lord had enjoined him, and took to [him] his wife,
Yosefe atadzuka, anachita zomwe mngelo wa Ambuye uja anamulamulira. Iye anamutenga Mariya kukhala mkazi wake.
25 and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
Koma sanagone malo amodzi mpaka mwanayo atabadwa ndipo anamutcha dzina lake Yesu.
