Habari za ukoo wa Yesu Kristo mwana wa Daudi, mwana wa Abrahamu:
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brothers.
Abrahamu akamzaa Isaki, Isaki akamzaa Yakobo, Yakobo akawazaa Yuda na ndugu zake,

6 and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon by the wife of Uriah.
Yese akamzaa Daudi ambaye alikuwa mfalme. Daudi akamzaa Solomoni, ambaye mama yake ni yule aliyekuwa mke wa Uria.
7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
Solomoni akamzaa Rehoboamu, Rehoboamu akamzaa Abiya, Abiya akamzaa Asa,
8 and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
Asa akamzaa Yehoshafati, Yehoshafati akamzaa Yoramu, Yoramu akamzaa Uzia,
9 and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
Uzia akamzaa Yothamu, Yothamu akamzaa Ahazi, Ahazi akamzaa Hezekia,
10 and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
Hezekia akamzaa Manase, Manase akamzaa Amoni, Amoni akamzaa Yosia,
11 and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the removal to Babylon.
wakati wa uhamisho wa Babeli, Yosia alimzaa Yekonia na ndugu zake.
12 And after the removal to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Baada ya uhamisho wa Babeli: Yekonia alimzaa Shealtieli, Shealtieli akamzaa Zerubabeli,
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
Zerubabeli akamzaa Abiudi, Abiudi akamzaa Eliakimu, Eliakimu akamzaa Azori,
14 and Azor begat Zadok; and Zadok begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Azori akamzaa Sadoki, Sadoki akamzaa Akimu, Akimu akamzaa Eliudi,
15 and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Eliudi akamzaa Eleazari, Eleazari akamzaa Matani, Matani akamzaa Yakobo,
16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
naye Yakobo akamzaa Yosefu ambaye alikuwa mumewe Maria, mama yake Yesu, aitwaye Kristo.
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.
Hivyo, kulikuwepo na jumla ya vizazi kumi na vinne tangu Abrahamu mpaka Daudi, vizazi kumi na vinne tangu Daudi hadi wakati wa uhamisho kwenda utumwani Babeli, na vizazi kumi na vinne tangu wakati wa uhamisho kwenda utumwani Babeli hadi Kristo.
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.
Basi Kuzaliwa kwake Yesu Kristo kulikuwa hivi: Maria mama yake alikuwa ameposwa na Yosefu, lakini kabla hawajakutana kimwili, Maria alionekana kuwa na mimba kwa uweza wa Roho Mtakatifu.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not willing to expose her to shame, purposed to put her away privately.
Kwa kuwa Yosefu, mwanaume aliyekuwa amemposa alikuwa mtu mwadilifu, hakutaka kumwaibisha Maria hadharani, aliazimu kumwacha kwa siri.
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.
Lakini mara alipoazimu kufanya jambo hili, malaika wa Bwana akamtokea katika ndoto na kusema, “Yosefu mwana wa Daudi, usiogope kumchukua Maria awe mke wako, kwa maana mimba aliyo nayo ni kwa uweza wa Roho Mtakatifu.
21 And she will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.
Naye atamzaa mwana, nawe utamwita Jina lake Yesu, kwa maana yeye ndiye atakayewaokoa watu wake kutoka dhambi zao.”
22 Now all this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Haya yote yalitukia ili litimie lile Bwana alilokuwa amenena kupitia nabii, akisema:
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.
“Tazama, bikira atachukua mimba, naye atamzaa mwana, nao watamwita Jina lake Imanueli”: maana yake, “Mungu pamoja nasi.”
24 Then Joseph, on waking up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife;
Yosefu alipoamka kutoka usingizini, akafanya kama vile alivyoagizwa na malaika wa Bwana, akamchukua Maria kuwa mke wake.
25 and he knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name Jesus.
Lakini hawakukutana kimwili mpaka Maria alipojifungua mwanawe kifungua mimba akamwita Jina lake Yesu.
