Matthew 1
1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abalahama biga, jakobo biga, JESU kiristu yajanba yela n ne:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
Abalahama mali Isaka; Isaka ń mali Jakobo; Jakobo ń mali Juda yeni o ninjaba;
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,
Juda bo taa Tamaar, ki mali Fares yeni Saara; Fares ń mali Esrom; Esrom ń mali Aram;
4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,
Aram ń mali Aminadab; Aminadab ń mali Naasɔn; Naasɔn ń mali Salmɔn;
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,
Salmɔn ń taa Rahab, ki mali Bɔas; Bɔas ń taa Rut ki mali Obed;
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;
Obed ń mali Isayi; Isayi ń mali Dafid; O badciamo Dafid ń taa Uri denpua, ki mali Salomɔn;
7 and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
Salomɔn ń mali Robuam; Robuam ń mali Abia; Abiya ń mali Asa;
8 and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
Asa ń mali Josafat; Josafat ń mali Joram; Joram ń mali Osiyas;
9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
Osiyas ń mali Juatam; Juatam ń mali Ahas; Ahas ń mali Esekihas;
10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
Esekihas ń mali Manase; Manase ń mali Amɔn; Amɔn ń mali Josias;
11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Josias ń mali Jekonias yeni o ninjaba, ban cuo ba ya yogu ki gede yeni ba Babilɔni, ti yonbidi.
12 And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Babiloni yonbdi ń pendi, ke Jekonias mali Salatiel; Salatiel ń mali Sorobabel;
13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,
Sorobabel ń mali Abiyud; Abiyud ń mali Eliakim; Eliakim ń mali Asɔar;
14 and Azzur the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Ahiam, and Ahiam the father of Elihud,
Asɔar ń mali Sadɔk; Sadɔk ń mali Akim; Akim ń mali Eliyud.
15 and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
Eliyud ń mali Eleyasaar; Eleyasaar ń mali Matan; Matan ń mali Jakob;
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
Jakob ń mali Josef, Maari calo, Maari, yua n mali Jesu, ban yi yua kiristu.
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.
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 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.
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 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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 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.
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 are to name him 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 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which 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 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "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 arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
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 had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
Ama, o den ki taani yeni o hali ke o ban mali bonjaga ke o yini o Jesu.
