Matthew 1
1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Yesu Kristo a ofi Ɔhene Dawid ne Abraham abusua mu no mpanyimfo din na edidi so yi:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
Abraham ba ne Isak, Isak ba ne Yakob; Yakob nso mma ne Yuda ne ne nuanom.
3 and Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,
Yuda mma ne Peres ne Sera. Wɔn na ne Tamar. Peres ba ne Hesron na Hesron nso ba ne Ram.
4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,
Ram woo Aminadab, Aminadab woo Nahson, Nahson nso woo Salmon.
5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse,
Salmon ne ne yere Rahab woo Boas, Boas ne ne yere Rut woo Obed, Obed nso woo Yisai.
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;
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 was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
Salomo woo Rehoboam, Rehoboam woo Abia, Abia woo Asa.
8 and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
Asa woo Yehosafat, Yehosafat woo Yoram, Yoram nso woo Usia
9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
Usia ba ne Yotam, Yotam ba ne Ahas: Ahas ba ne Hiskia.
10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
Hiskia ba ne Manase, Manase ba ne Amon, Amon nso ba ne Yosia.
11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Yosia woo Yekonia ne ne nuanom. Wɔwoo wɔn bere a na Yudafo te nnommum mu wɔ Babilon no.
12 And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Wɔn a wofi Babilon nnommum mu bae no akyi awo ntoatoaso ni: Yekonia woo Sealtiel, Sealtiel woo Serubabel.
13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,
Serubabel woo Abihud, Abihud woo Eliakim, Eliakim nso woo Asor.
14 and Azzur the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Ahiam, and Ahiam the father of Elihud,
Asor ba ne Sadok, Sadok ba ne Akim, Akim ba ne Elihud.
15 and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
Elihud ba ne Eleasar, Eleasar ba ne Matan. Matan nso ba ne Yakob,
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
Yakob woo Yosef a ɔwaree Maria no. Saa Maria yi na ɔwoo Yesu Kristo.
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.
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 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.
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 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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 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.
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 are to name him 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 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which 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 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "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 arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
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 had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
Nanso Yosef ne Maria anhyia da kosii sɛ Maria woo ɔbabarima maa Yosef too ne din “Yesu.”
