1 [The] scroll of the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.

2 Abraham begot Isaac, and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers,

5 and Salmon begot Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed of Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse,
Salmɔn ń taa Rahab, ki mali Bɔas; Bɔas ń taa Rut ki mali Obed;
6 and Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah’s,
Obed ń mali Isayi; Isayi ń mali Dafid; O badciamo Dafid ń taa Uri denpua, ki mali Salomɔn;
7 and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,
Salomɔn ń mali Robuam; Robuam ń mali Abia; Abiya ń mali Asa;
8 and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
Asa ń mali Josafat; Josafat ń mali Joram; Joram ń mali Osiyas;
9 and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
Osiyas ń mali Juatam; Juatam ń mali Ahas; Ahas ń mali Esekihas;
10 and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
Esekihas ń mali Manase; Manase ń mali Amɔn; Amɔn ń mali Josias;
11 and Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers, at the Babylonian removal.
Josias ń mali Jekonias yeni o ninjaba, ban cuo ba ya yogu ki gede yeni ba Babilɔni, ti yonbidi.
12 And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
Babiloni yonbdi ń pendi, ke Jekonias mali Salatiel; Salatiel ń mali Sorobabel;
13 and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,
Sorobabel ń mali Abiyud; Abiyud ń mali Eliakim; Eliakim ń mali Asɔar;
14 and Azor begot Sadok, and Sadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud,
Asɔar ń mali Sadɔk; Sadɔk ń mali Akim; Akim ń mali Eliyud.
15 and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
Eliyud ń mali Eleyasaar; Eleyasaar ń mali Matan; Matan ń mali Jakob;
16 and Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
Jakob ń mali Josef, Maari calo, Maari, yua n mali Jesu, ban yi yua kiristu.
17 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal to the Christ, fourteen generations.
Lan wani, lan cili Abalahama, ki tuoni Dafiid, li tie piiga n nifiima na, lan taa Dafiid ki tuoni Babiloni yonbidi, li mo tie piiga n nifiima na, ki taa Babiloni yonbdi hali kiristu li mo tie piiga n nifiima na.
18 And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
Jesu kiristu ń mali maama n ne. Maari, o naá bo tie Josef cikpenga i, ki punbi U Tienu Foŋanma paalu po, ke bi dá ki taani yeni bi yaba (ki dá ki kuni ti cikpendi)
19 and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
O calo, Josef ń bo tie nitegnka, kaa bua ke o fiagi o yeni, o den jagi ke wan wuoni, ki yie o ŋasiili nni.
20 And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit,
Wan taa lan ya maalma yeni, O Diedo maleki ń legdi o po ti dangdi nni, ki maadi o: Dafiid bijua Josef, da jie yeni ŋan kuani a denpua Maari kelima, wan punbi ya biga ne ñani U Tienu Foŋanma kani i.
21 and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
O ba mali bonjaga, ŋan yini o Jesu; wani n ba faabi o buolu u tuonbiidi po.
22 And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
Ne kuli tieni ke O Diedo ń bo cedi ke bi sawalpuaba tuodi ki waani yaali ń tieni ki dudi:
23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
I ba la powandiali (ya jifaano dá ki bani ja) ba punbi, ki mali bonjaga, ban yini o Emanuyel, li niima nni tie U Tienu ye yeni ti.
24 And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
Josef ń den findi, o den tieni nani O Diedo maleki ń waani o yaala, o den ga o denpua ke bi taani ki ye.
25 and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
Ama, o den ki taani yeni o hali ke o ban mali bonjaga ke o yini o Jesu.
