1 The booke of the generation of Jesus Christ the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.
Yesu Kristo a ofi Ɔhene Dawid ne Abraham abusua mu no mpanyimfo din na edidi so yi:
2 Abraham begate Isaac. And Isaac begate Iacob. And Iacob begat Iudas and his brethren.
Abraham ba ne Isak, Isak ba ne Yakob; Yakob nso mma ne Yuda ne ne nuanom.
3 And Iudas begate Phares, and Zara of Thamar. And Phares begate Esrom. And Esrom begate Aram.

5 And Salmon begate Booz of Rachab. And Booz begat Obed of Ruth. and Obed begat Iesse.
Salmon ne ne yere Rahab woo Boas, Boas ne ne yere Rut woo Obed, Obed nso woo Yisai.
6 And Iesse begate Dauid the King. And Dauid the King begate Salomon of her that was the wife of Vrias.
Yisai ba ne Ɔhene Dawid. Dawid ba ne Salomo. Dawid ne Batseba a na anka ɔyɛ Uria yere no na wɔwoo Salomo.
7 And Salomon begate Roboam. And Roboam begate Abia. And Abia begate Asa.
Salomo woo Rehoboam, Rehoboam woo Abia, Abia woo Asa.
8 And Asa begate Iosaphat. And Iosaphat begate Ioram. And Ioram begate Hozias.
Asa woo Yehosafat, Yehosafat woo Yoram, Yoram nso woo Usia
9 And Hozias begat Ioatham. And Ioatham begate Achaz. And Achaz begate Ezekias.
Usia ba ne Yotam, Yotam ba ne Ahas: Ahas ba ne Hiskia.
10 And Ezekias begate Manasses. And Manasses begate Amon. And Amon begate Iosias.
Hiskia ba ne Manase, Manase ba ne Amon, Amon nso ba ne Yosia.
11 And Iosias begate Iakim. And Iakim begate Iechonias and his brethren about the time they were caried away to Babylon.
Yosia woo Yekonia ne ne nuanom. Wɔwoo wɔn bere a na Yudafo te nnommum mu wɔ Babilon no.
12 And after they were caried away into Babylon, Iechonias begate Salathiel. And Salathiel begate Zorobabel.
Wɔn a wofi Babilon nnommum mu bae no akyi awo ntoatoaso ni: Yekonia woo Sealtiel, Sealtiel woo Serubabel.
13 And Zorobabel begate Abiud. And Abiud begate Eliacim. And Eliacim begate Azor.
Serubabel woo Abihud, Abihud woo Eliakim, Eliakim nso woo Asor.
14 And Azor begate Sadoc. And Sadoc begate Achim. And Achim begate Eliud.
Asor ba ne Sadok, Sadok ba ne Akim, Akim ba ne Elihud.
15 And Eliud begate Eleazar. And Eleazar begate Matthan. And Matthan begate Iacob.
Elihud ba ne Eleasar, Eleasar ba ne Matan. Matan nso ba ne Yakob,
16 And Iacob begat Ioseph ye husband of Mary, of whom was borne Jesus, that is called Christ.
Yakob woo Yosef a ɔwaree Maria no. Saa Maria yi na ɔwoo Yesu Kristo.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourtene generations. And from Dauid vntil they were caried away into Babylon, fourtene generations: and after they were caried away into Babylon vntill Christ, fourteene generations.
Awo ntoatoaso a efi Abraham so de besi Ɔhene Dawid so yɛ dunan. Efi Ɔhene Dawid so de besi bere a wɔfaa ɔman no nnommum kɔɔ Babilon no nso awo ntoatoaso yɛ dunan saa ara. Saa ara nso na efi bere a wotu fii Babilon san baa wɔn man mu bio no de besi Kristo awo so nso yɛ awo ntoatoaso dunan.
18 Nowe the birth of Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.
Sɛnea Yesu Kristo awo ho nsɛm te ni: Wɔde ne na Maria maa Yosef sɛ ɔnware no, nanso ansa na wobehyia mu sɛ awarefo no, ohuu sɛ wanyinsɛn; nea efi Honhom Kronkron.
19 Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publike example, was minded to put her away secretly.
Ɛbaa saa no, ne kunu Yosef a odi ne ho ni no ampɛ sɛ obegu Maria anim ase nti ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ obegyaa no aware wɔ kokoa mu.
20 But whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.
Bere a asɛm no ayɛ Yosef dadwen no, Awurade bɔfo beyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no wɔ dae mu. Ɔbɔfo no kae se, “Yosef, Dawid ba, nsuro sɛ wobɛfa Maria sɛ wo yere efisɛ ne nyinsɛn no fi Honhom Kronkron.
21 And she shall bring foorth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.
Ɔbɛwo ɔbarima na woato no din Yesu, ase ne Agyenkwa, efisɛ ɔno na obegye ne nkurɔfo nkwa afi wɔn bɔne mu.”
22 And al this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by ye Prophet, saying,
Eyi nyinaa baa mu de hyɛɛ nea Awurade nam odiyifo no so kae no ma se:
23 Behold, a virgine shalbe with childe, and shall beare a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with vs.
“Ɔbabun no benyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔato no din Immanuel” a ase ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.”
24 Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke his wife.
Bere a Yosef nyan no, ɔyɛɛ sɛnea ɔbɔfo no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Enti ɔkɔfaa Maria baa ne fi ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere.
25 But he knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name JESUS.
Nanso Yosef ne Maria anhyia da kosii sɛ Maria woo ɔbabarima maa Yosef too ne din “Yesu.”
