1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Nke a bụ ndekọ usoro ọmụmụ Jisọs onye bụ Kraịst, nwa Devid, nwa Ebraham.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
Jesi amụọ Devid, bụ eze. Devid mụrụ Solomọn site na nwunye ya Ụraya.
7 and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
Solomọn mụrụ Rehoboam, Rehoboam amụọ Abija, Abija amụọ Esa.
8 and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,

9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
Ụzaịa mụrụ Jotam, Jọtam amụọ Ehaz, Ehaz amụọ Hezekaya.
10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
Hezekaya mụrụ Manase, Manase amụọ Emọn, Emọn amụọ Josaya.
11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Mgbe e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼala Babilọn ka Josaya mụrụ Jekonaya na ụmụnne ya.
12 And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Mgbe ha si Babilọn lọta Jekonaya mụrụ Shealtiel, Shealtiel amụọ Zerubabel.
13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,

15 and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
Eliud mụrụ Elieza, Elieza amụọ Matan, Matan amụọ Jekọb.
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
Jekọb mụrụ Josef onye bụ di Meri nne Jisọs, onye a na-akpọ Kraịst.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
Ya mere, site nʼEbraham ruo na Devid, e nwere ọgbọ iri na anọ. Ma site nʼoge Devid ruo mgbe a dọọrọ ha nʼagha gaa Babilọn, e nwere ọgbọ iri na anọ. Sitekwanụ nʼoge ahụ ruo mgbe a mụrụ Kraịst bụkwa ọgbọ iri na anọ.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
Otu a ka ọmụmụ Jisọs, onye a na-akpọ Kraịst siri dị: Nne ya Meri bụ onye e kwenyere na ọ ga-alụ Josef, ma tupu ha ebikọọ ọnụ a chọpụtara na Meri di ime site na Mmụọ Nsọ.
19 And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Ma Josef di ya bụ onye ezi omume, ọ chọghị imenye ya ihere, nʼihi ya, o zubere ịchụ ya na nzuzo.
20 But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Mgbe Josef nwechara mkpebi a, mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere ya na nrọ sị ya, “Josef nwa Devid, atụla egwu ịkpọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye gị, nʼihi na nwa ahụ ọ dị ime ya sitere nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Ọ ga-amụkwa nwa nwoke, onye ị ga-akpọ aha ya Jisọs, nʼihi na ọ ga-azọpụta ndị nke ya site na mmehie ha.”
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Ihe ndị a mere iji mezuo ihe ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onye amụma ya sị,
23 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
“Lee, nwaagbọghọ ahụ na-amaghị nwoke ga-atụrụ ime, mụọ nwa nwoke. Ha ga-akpọ aha ya Ịmanụel” (nke bụ ma asụgharịa ya, “Chineke nọnyeere anyị”).
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Mgbe Josef si nʼụra teta, o mere dịka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu. Ọ kpọọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
25 and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
Ma ha abụọ edinakọghị tutu ruo mgbe ọ mụsịrị nwa nwoke, onye ọ kpọrọ aha ya Jisọs.
