11 and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon.

12 And after the carrying away of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel,
Nga bamaze okutwalibwa e Babulooni: Yekoniya n’azaala Seyalutyeri, Seyalutyeri n’azaala Zerubbaberi.

16 and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Yakobo n’azaala Yusufu, oyo ye bba wa Maliyamu eyazaala Yesu ayitibwa Kristo.
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.
Noolwekyo emirembe gyonna okuva ku Ibulayimu okutuuka ku Dawudi gyali kkumi n’ena, era okuva ku Dawudi okutuuka ku kuwaŋŋaangusibwa e Babulooni, emirembe kkumi n’ena, era okuva ku kuwaŋŋaangusibwa e Babulooni okutuuka ku Kristo, nagyo emirembe kkumi n’ena.
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.
Okuzaalibwa kwa Yesu Kristo kwali bwe kuti: Maliyamu nnyina bwe yali ng’akyayogerezebwa Yusufu, era nga tebanaba kufumbiriganwa n’alabika ng’ali lubuto ku bwa Mwoyo Omutukuvu.
19 But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;
Awo Yusufu eyali amwogereza, olwokubanga yali muntu mulungi n’asalawo mu mutima gwe okumuleka, naye ng’ayagala akikole mu kyama aleme kukwasa Maliyamu nsonyi.
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.
Naye bwe yali ng’agalamidde ku kitanda kye ng’akyabirowoozaako, n’afuna ekirooto; n’alaba malayika wa Mukama ng’ayimiridde w’ali, n’amugamba nti, “Yusufu, omwana wa Dawudi, totya kutwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi wo! Kubanga olubuto lw’alina yalufuna ku bwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
Era alizaala Omwana wabulenzi, olimutuuma erinnya Yesu, (amakulu nti, ‘Omulokozi’) kubanga y’alirokola abantu bonna mu bibi byabwe.”
22 Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through the prophet, saying,
Bino byonna byabaawo kisobole okutuukirira ekyayogerwa Mukama ng’ayita mu nnabbi we ng’agamba nti,
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.'
“Laba omuwala atamanyi musajja aliba olubuto, alizaala omwana wabulenzi, era aliyitibwa Emmanweri.” Amakulu gaalyo nti, “Katonda ali naffe.”
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,
Yusufu bwe yazuukuka, n’akola nga Malayika bwe yamulagira, n’atwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi we.
25 and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
Naye Yusufu n’atamumanya okutuusa lwe yamala okuzaala Omwana. Yusufu n’amutuuma erinnya Yesu.
