7 and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;

11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Yosia alikuwa baba wa Yekonia na kaka zake wakati wa kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli.
12 And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Na baada ya kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli, Yekonia alikuwa baba wa Shatieli, Shatieli alikuwa babu yake na Zerubabeli.

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
Yakobo alikuwa baba wa Yusufu mume wa Mariamu, ambaye kwa yeye Yesu alizaliwa, aitwaye 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.
Vizazi vyote tangu Ibrahimu hadi Daudi vilikuwa vizazi kumi na vinne, kutoka Daudi hadi kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli vizazi kumi na vinne, na kutoka kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli hadi Kristo vizazi kumi na vinne.
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.
Kuzaliwa kwa Yesu Kristo kulikuwa kwa namna hii. Mama yake, Mariamu, alichumbiwa na Yusufu, lakini kabla hawajakutana, alionekana kuwa na mimba kwa uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu.
19 And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Mume wake Yusufu, alikuwa mtu mwenye haki hakutaka kumwaibisha hadharani. Aliamua kusitisha uchumba wake naye kwa siri.
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.
Alipokuwa akifikiri juu ya mambo haya, Malaika wa Bwana alimtokea katika ndoto, akisema,'' Yusufu mwana wa Daudi, usiogope kumchukua Mariamu kama mkeo, kwa sababu mimba aliyonayo ni kwa uweza wa Roho Mtakatifu.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Atajifungua mtoto wa kiume na utamwita jina lake Yesu, kwa maana atawaokoa watu wake na dhambi zao.''
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Yote haya yalitokea kutimizwa kile kilichonenwa na Bwana kwa njia ya nabii, akisema,
23 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
“Tazama, bikira atachukua mimba na kuzaa mtoto wa kiume, na watamwita jina lake Imanueli”— maana yake, “Mungu pamoja nasi.”
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Yusufu aliamka kutoka usingizini na kufanya kama malaika wa Bwana alivyomwamuru na alimchukua kama mkewe.
25 and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
Hata hivyo, hakulala naye mpaka alipojifungua mtoto wa kiume na alimwita jina lake Yesu.
