Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Ma e kaka anywola mar Yesu Kristo ma wuod Daudi kendo wuod Ibrahim chalo:
2 Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Judas and his brethren.
Ibrahim ne en wuon Isaka, Isaka ne en wuon Jakobo, to Jakobo ne en wuon Juda gi owetene.
3 And Judas begot Phares and Zara of Thamar. And Phares begot Esron. And Esron begot Aram.
Juda ne en wuon Perez gi Zera, ma min-gi ne en Tamar, Perez ne en wuon Hezron, Hezron ne en wuon Ram,
4 And Aram begot Aminadab. And Aminadab begot Naasson. And Naasson begot Salmon.
to Ram ne en wuon Aminadab. Aminadab ne en wuon Nashon, Nashon ne en wuon Salmon,
5 And Salmon begot Booz of Rahab. And Booz begot Obed of Ruth. And Obed begot Jesse.
Salmon ne en wuon Boaz, ma min-gi ne en Rahab. Boaz ne en wuon Obed ma min-gi ne en Ruth, Obed ne en wuon Jesse,
6 And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.
to Jesse ne en wuon Ruoth Daudi. Daudi ne en wuon Solomon, ma min-gi, kane pok Daudi okawe, ne en chi Uria,
7 And Solomon begot Roboam. And Roboam begot Abia. And Abia begot Asa.
Solomon ne en wuon Rehoboam, Rehoboam ne en wuon Abija, to Abija ne en wuon Asa.
8 And Asa begot Josaphat. And Josaphat begot Joram. And Joram begot Ozias.
Asa ne en wuon Jehoshafat, Jehoshafat ne en wuon Jehoram, Jehoram ne en wuon Uzia,
9 And Ozias begot Joatham. And Joatham begot Achaz. And Achaz begot Ezechias.
to Uzia ne en wuon Jotham, Jotham ne en wuon Ahaz, Ahaz ne en wuon Hezekia,
10 And Ezechias begot Manasses. And Manesses begot Amon. And Amon begot Josias.
to Hezekia ne en wuon Manase. Manase ne en wuon Amon, Amon ne en wuon Josia,
11 And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon.
kendo Josia ne en wuon Jekonia gi owetene, e kinde mag twech e piny Babulon.
12 And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias begot Salathiel. And Salathiel begot Zorobabel.
Bangʼ twech e Babulon: Jekonia ne en wuon Shealtiel, Shealtiel ne en wuon Zerubabel,
13 And Zorobabel begot Abiud. And Abiud begot Eliacim. And Eliacim begot Azor.
Zerubabel ne en wuon Abihud, to Abihud ne en wuon Eliakim. Eliakim ne en wuon Azor,
14 And Azor begot Sadoc. And Sadoc begot Achim. And Achim begot Eliud.
Azor ne en wuon Zadok, Zadok ne en wuon Akim, to Akim ne en wuon Eliud.
15 And Eliud begot Eleazar. And Eleazar begot Mathan. And Mathan begot Jacob.
Eliud ne en wuon Eleazar, Eleazar ne en wuon Mathan, Mathan ne en wuon Jakobo,
16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
to Jakobo ne en wuon Josef mane chwor Maria mane onywolo Yesu, miluongo ni Kristo.
17 So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
Kamano tienge duto mane nitie chakre Ibrahim nyaka Daudi ne gin apar gangʼwen; to chakre Daudi nyaka ndalo twech e Babulon ne tienge apar gangʼwen kendo chakre ndalo twech nyaka kinde mag Kristo bende ne tienge apar gangʼwen.
18 Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
Kama e kaka nywol mar Yesu Kristo notimore: Noyudo min mare ma Maria osesingi ne Josef mondo okende, to kane pok gibedo kaachiel, noyude ka en gi ich kuom Roho Maler.
19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
Nikech Josef chwore ne en ngʼat makare, kendo ne ok odwar ni okuod wiye e nyim ji, omiyo nochano e pache mar weye ma lingʼ-lingʼ.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
To bangʼ paro mar timo kamano, Malaika mar Ruoth nofwenyorene e lek mowachone niya, “Josef wuod Daudi, kik iluor dhi gi Maria dala kaka chiegi, nikech gima otingʼo e iye owuok kuom Roho Maler.
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
Obiro nywolo wuowi, kendo nyaka imiye nying ni Yesu, nikech obiro waro joge kogolo e richo.”
22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
Magi duto notimore mondo ochop gima ne Ruoth owacho gi dho janabi niya,
23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
“Nyako ngili biro mako ich minywol wuowi, mi nigiluonge ni Imanuel” (tiende ni, “Nyasaye ni kodwa”).
24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
Kane Josef ochiewo gokinyi, notimo gima malaika mar Ruoth nochike mondo otim, kendo nokawo Maria odhigo dala mobedo chiege.
25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
To ne ok oriwore kode nyaka bangʼ kane osenywolo nyathi ma wuowi kendo nomiye nying ni Yesu.
