< Matthew 1 >

1 THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Uwu e mulongo wa bamashali bakulukulu ba Yesu, mushukulu wa Dafeti, uyo walikuba mushukulu wa Abulahamu.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;

6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
Jesi walasema Mwami Dafeti, nendi Dafeti walasema Solomoni mu mukashi walikuba wa Uliya.
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
Solomoni walasema Lehabyamu, nendi Lehabyamu walasema Abiya, nendi Abiya walasema Asa,
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
nendi Asa walasema Yehosafati, nendi Yehosafati walasema Yolamu, nendi Yolamu walasema Usiya,
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;

10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
nendi Hezekiya walasema Manase, nendi Manase walasema Amoni, nendi Amoni walasema Yosiya,
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Yosiya walasema Yekoniya ne bakwabo pacindi bana Baisilayeli mpobalikumantwa busha ku Babulo.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
Baisilayeli mpobalamantwa busha ku Babulo, Yekoniya walasema Salatiyele nendi Salatiyele walasema Zelubabele,

16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Nendi Yakobo walasema Yosefe ibendi Maliya, uyu Maliya e walasema Yesu lakwiwangeti Klistu Mupulushi Walaiwa usa.
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 unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Neco, kufuma pali Abulahamu kushika pali Mwami Dafeti, palikuba misemano likumi ne ina, kayi kufuma pali Mwami Dafeti kushika pacindi bana ba Isilayeli mpobalamantwa busha kuya ku Babulo, napo palikuba misemano likumi ne ina, kayi kufuma pacindi ca kumantwa busha ku Babulo kushika pacindi ca Klistu, napo palikuba misemano likumi ne ina.
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.
Lino kusemwa kwa Yesu Klistu kwalenshika munshila iyi. Pacindi Maliya banyina Yesu mpobalikuba bamamikilwa kuli Yosefe. Nomba kabatana baya kumalili, Maliya walacanika ne libunda kupitila mu ngofu ya Mushimu Uswepa.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
Yosefe walikuba muntu walulama, nkalayanda kumusebanya pantangalala, walayeya kupwisha bubambo bwa cikwati kwakubula kwishiba bantu.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Kaciyeya cakwinsa mungelo wa Mwami Lesa walamubonekela muciloto ne kumwambileti, “Yosefe mwanendi Dafeti kotatina kumumanta Maliya kuba mukashobe, ili libunda ndyakute ni ngofu ya Mushimu Uswepa.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Nakatumbuke mwana mutuloba uyo ngoshi mukatumbe lina eti Yesu, pakwinga nakapulushe bantu bakendi ku bwipishi bwabo.”
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Ibi byalenshika kwalikuba kukwanilisha ncalamba Mwami kumushinshimi kwambeti
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.
“Mulindu nakabe ne libunda ne kutumbuka mwana mutuloba uyo eti akakwiweti Emanuele, uku ekwambeti ‘Lesa uli nenjafwe’”
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Yosefe mpwalapunduka walensa ncalamwambila mungelo wa Mwami Lesa, walamumanta Maliya kuba mukashendi.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Nomba nikukabeco uliya kuya nendi kumalili sobwe mpaka panyuma pakutumbuka mwana mutuloba. Yosefe walamupa Lina eti Yesu.
