Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
He tah Abraham kah cadil, David kah cadil, Jesuh Khrih kah rhuirhong cabu ni.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
Abraham loh Isaak a sak tih, Isaak loh Jakob a sak, Jakob loh Judah boeinaphung a sak.
3 and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;
Judah neh Tamar loh Perez neh Zerah a sak tih, Perez loh Herezon a sak, Hezron loh Aram a sak.
4 and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
Aram loh Amminadab a sak tih, Aminadab loh Nahshon a sak. Nahshon loh Salmon a sak.
5 and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Salmon neh Rahab loh Boaz a sak rhoi, Boaz neh Ruth loh Obed a sak, Obed loh Jesse a sak.
6 and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
Jesse loh manghai David a sak tih, David neh Uriah kah yurho loh Solomon a sak.
7 and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
Solomon loh Rehoboam a sak tih, Rehoboam loh Abijah a sak, Abijah loh Asa a sak
8 and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
Asa loh Jehoshaphat a sak tih, Jehoshaphat loh Joram a sak, Joram loh Uzziah a sak
9 and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
Uzziah loh Jotham a sak tih, Jotham loh Ahaz a sak, Ahaz loh Hezekiah a sak,
10 and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
Hezekiah loh Manasseh a sak tih, Manasseh loh Amos a sak, Amos loh Josiah a sak.
11 and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.
Josiah he Babylon la a puennah kungah Jekhoniah neh a manuca rhoek te a sak
12 And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Babylon la a puennah hnukah, Jekhoniah loh Shealtiel a sak, Shealtiel loh Zerubbabel a sak,
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
Zerubbabel loh Abiud a sak tih, Abiud loh Eliakim a sak, Eliakim loh Azor a sak,
14 and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Azor loh Zadok a sak tih, Zadok loh Achim a sak, Achim loh Eliud a sak,
15 and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Eliud loh Eleazar a sak tih, Eleazar loh Matthan a sak, Matthan loh Jakob a sak,
16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakob loh Mary kah a va Joseph a sak. Anih lamloh Khrih la a khue Jesuh a sak.
17 So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.
Te dongah Abraham lamloh David duela a khong la khong hlaili tih, David lamloh Babylon la a puennah duela khong hlaili, Babylon la a puennah lamloh Khrih duela boeih ah khong hlaili lo.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Jesuh Khrih kah rhuirhong khaw ana om tangloeng. A manu Mary he Joseph hamla a bae dae a om rhoi hlan ah Mueihla Cim loh bungvawn la a om sak te a ming.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
A va Joseph tah aka dueng la om tih anih te yan ham a ngaih pawt dongah toeng hamla duem cai.
20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
He a poek vaengah, boeipa kah puencawn loh anih taengla a mang ah pakcak a phoe pah tih, “David capa Joseph Mary te na yuu la loh ham rhih boeh, anih a vawn he Mueihla Cim rhangnen ni,”.
21 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.
Capa a cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh na sui ni. Anih long tah a pilnam te a tholh khui lamloh a khang ni.
22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.
Tonghma lamlong khaw, “Oila te bungvawn la om vetih capa a cun ni, a ming tah Emmanuel la a khue uh ni he. Te tah mamih taengah aka om Pathen ni a thuingaih,” a ti nah.
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
Joseph tah a ih kung lamkah a thoh vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn loh anih a uen bangla a ngai tih a yuu te a loh.
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
