1 [The] scroll of the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.
Yesu Kristo a ofi Ɔhene Dawid ne Abraham abusua mu no mpanyimfo din na edidi so yi:
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,
Salmon ne ne yere Rahab woo Boas, Boas ne ne yere Rut woo Obed, Obed nso woo Yisai.
6 and Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah’s,
Yisai ba ne Ɔhene Dawid. Dawid ba ne Salomo. Dawid ne Batseba a na anka ɔyɛ Uria yere no na wɔwoo Salomo.
7 and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,

8 and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
Asa woo Yehosafat, Yehosafat woo Yoram, Yoram nso woo Usia
9 and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
Usia ba ne Yotam, Yotam ba ne Ahas: Ahas ba ne Hiskia.
10 and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
Hiskia ba ne Manase, Manase ba ne Amon, Amon nso ba ne Yosia.
11 and Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers, at the Babylonian removal.
Yosia woo Yekonia ne ne nuanom. Wɔwoo wɔn bere a na Yudafo te nnommum mu wɔ Babilon no.
12 And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
Wɔn a wofi Babilon nnommum mu bae no akyi awo ntoatoaso ni: Yekonia woo Sealtiel, Sealtiel woo Serubabel.
13 and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,
Serubabel woo Abihud, Abihud woo Eliakim, Eliakim nso woo Asor.
14 and Azor begot Sadok, and Sadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud,
Asor ba ne Sadok, Sadok ba ne Akim, Akim ba ne Elihud.
15 and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
Elihud ba ne Eleasar, Eleasar ba ne Matan. Matan nso ba ne Yakob,
16 and Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
Yakob woo Yosef a ɔwaree Maria no. Saa Maria yi na ɔwoo Yesu Kristo.
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.
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 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,
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 and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
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 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,
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 will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Ɔbɛwo ɔbarima na woato no din Yesu, ase ne Agyenkwa, efisɛ ɔno na obegye ne nkurɔfo nkwa afi wɔn bɔne mu.”
22 And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
Eyi nyinaa baa mu de hyɛɛ nea Awurade nam odiyifo no so kae no ma se:
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.”
“Ɔbabun no benyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔato no din Immanuel” a ase ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.”
24 And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received 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 and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
Nanso Yosef ne Maria anhyia da kosii sɛ Maria woo ɔbabarima maa Yosef too ne din “Yesu.”
