8 and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;

Che Yosia ŵammeleche che Yekonia ni achapwakwe. Keleko kaliji katema kakwasamichisya Ŵayahudi ku chilambo cha ku Babeli.
12 And after the removal to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Nipele, Ŵayahudi paŵaiche ku chilambo cha Babeli, che Yekonia ŵammeleche che Sealitieli ni che Sealitieli ŵammeleche che Selubabeli ni,
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

Che Yakobo ŵammeleche che Yusufu, ŵankwawo che Maliamu achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito Jwakuwombola.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the removal to Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Pelepo paliji ni iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela che Iblahimu kwaichilila che Daudi, iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela che Daudi mpaka Ŵayahudi paŵajigalikwe ku usami ku Babeli ni iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela kwigalikwa ku usami kuichila katema ka Kilisito.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
Yelei ni iŵatite pakupagwa Che Yesu Kilisito, che Maliamu, achikulugwe, ŵaliji atomelwe ni che Yusufu. Nambo akanaŵe kuwonegana mpela mundu ni ŵankwakwe, che Maliamu ŵalisimene ali ŵapachiilu kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not willing to expose her to shame, purposed to put her away privately.
Nombe che Yusufu ŵankwakwe pakuŵa ŵaliji mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu nganasaka kwachembulusya che Maliamu pa ŵandu, ŵasachile kwaleka pangaimanyilila ŵandu.
20 But while he thought on these things, lo! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
Nombewo paŵaliji aninkuganisya yeleyo, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵankopochele mu sagamisi, ŵansalile, “Che Yusufu mwana ju che Daudi nkajogopa kwajigala che Maliamu kuŵa ŵankwenu, ligongo ali ŵapachiilu kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
21 And she will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.
Chaligopole mwanache jwannume nomwe chimwape liina lyakwe Che Yesu, pakuŵa jwelejo ni juchiŵakulupusye ŵandu ŵakwe mu sambi syao.”
22 Now all this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Nipele yoseyo yakopochele kuti liŵe isyene, liloŵe lya Ambuje liŵaŵechete kwa litala lya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu achitiji,
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel;” that is, when interpreted, God-is with-us.
“Mwalimwalipe chaŵe jwapachiilu, chaligopole mwanache jwannume, nombewo chachaŵilanga Emanueli” malumbo gakwe, “Akunnungu ali pamo ni uwe.”
24 Then Joseph, on waking up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife;
Nombe che Yusufu paŵajimwiche, ŵatesile ilaila iŵatite pakusala katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje, ŵanjigele che Maliamu ŵankwawo ni kwaulanawo kumangwao.
25 and he knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name Jesus.
Nambo nganawonegana nawo mpaka che Maliamu paŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume. Nombe che Yusufu ŵampele liina lyakwe Che Yesu.
