Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham capa David, David capa Jesu Kri angzohhaih kawng Cabu loe hae tiah oh.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac; and Isaac was the father of Jacob; and Jacob was the father of Judas and his brothers;

6 And Jesse was the father of David the king; and David the king was the father of Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
Jesse mah David siangpahrang to sak; David siangpahrang mah Uriah ih zu khae hoiah Solomon to sak.
7 And Solomon was the father of Roboam; and Roboam was the father of Abia; and Abia was the father of Asa;
Solomon mah Rehoboam to sak; Rehoboam mah Abijah to sak; Abijah mah Asa to sak.
8 And Asa was the father of Josaphat; and Josaphat was the father of Joram; and Joram was the father of Ozias;
Asa mah Jehoshaphat to sak; Jehoshaphat mah Jehoram to sak; Jehoram mah Uzziah to sak;
9 And Ozias was the father of Joatham; and Joatham was the father of Achaz; and Achaz was the father of Ezekias;
Uzziah mah Jotham to sak; Jotham mah Ahaz to sak; Ahaz mah Hezekiah to sak;
10 And Ezekias was the father of Manasses; and Manasses was the father of Amon; and Amon was the father of Josias;
Hezekiah mah Manasseh to sak; Manasseh mah Amon to sak; Amon mah Josiah to sak;
11 And Josias was the father of Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Babylon ah misong ah hoih o nathuem ah, Josiah mah Jekoniah hoi anih ih nawkamyanawk to sak:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias was the father of Salathiel; and Salathiel was the father of Zorobabel;
Babylon ah misong ah hoih o pacoengah Jekoniah mah Shealtiel to sak; Shealtiel mah Zerubbabel to sak;
13 And Zorobabel was the father of Abiud; and Abiud was the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim was the father of Azor;

16 And Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakob mah Meri sava Joseph to sak; Meri mah Kri, tiah kawk ih, Jesu to tapen.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
Abraham hoi David karoek to dung hatlai palito oh moe, David hoi Babylon ah misongah hoih o karoek to, dung hatlai palito oh; Babylon misong ah laemh o haih hoi kamtong Kri karoek to dung hatlai palito oh.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Jesu Kri tapenhaih loe hae tiah oh: Anih ih amno Meri loe Joseph mah zu ah hamh, nihnik zu sava ah om hoi ai naah, Meri loe Kacai Muithla ih caa to pomh boeh.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
A sava Joseph loe katoeng kami ah oh, to pongah minawk panoeksak han koeh ai, a zu to tamquta hoi pahnawt sut hanah a poek.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
To tiah a poek li naah, khenah, Angraeng ih van kami mah amang ah anih khaeah amtueng thuih, David capa Joseph, na zu Meri to zu ah lak han zii hmah: anih loe Kacai Muithla rang hoiah ni zokpomh.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Meri mah Caa nongpa to sah tih, Anih ih ahmin loe JESU, tiah sak han oh, Anih loe angmah ih kaminawk to zaehaih thung hoiah pahlong tih, tiah a naa.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Tahmaa patohhaih rang hoiah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok akoep hanah hae hmuen hae sak ah oh,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
khenah, kacuem tangla loe zokpom tih, capa maeto sah ueloe, anih ih ahmin to Emmanuel, tiah kawk o tih; thuih koehhaih loe Sithaw aicae hoi nawnto oh, tih haih ih ni.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
Joseph iih anglawt pacoengah loe, Angraeng ih van kami mah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah Meri to zu ah lak,
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
a zu mah Calu nongpa tapen ai karoek to a zu to iip haih ai. Anih ih ahmin to JESU, tiah a sak.
