Matthew 1
1 The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ, —Son of David, Son of Abraham.
Nke a bụ ndekọ usoro ọmụmụ Jisọs onye bụ Kraịst, nwa Devid, nwa Ebraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob, begat Judah and his brethren;
Ebraham mụrụ Aịzik, Aịzik amụọ Jekọb, Jekọb amụọ Juda na ụmụnne ya.
3 And Judah begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram;

4 And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon begat Salmon;

5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse;

6 And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
Jesi amụọ Devid, bụ eze. Devid mụrụ Solomọn site na nwunye ya Ụraya.
7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa;
Solomọn mụrụ Rehoboam, Rehoboam amụọ Abija, Abija amụọ Esa.
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah;
Esa mụrụ Jehoshafat, Jehoshafat amụọ Joram, Joram amụọ Ụzaịa.
9 And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah:
Ụzaịa mụrụ Jotam, Jọtam amụọ Ehaz, Ehaz amụọ Hezekaya.
10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah;
Hezekaya mụrụ Manase, Manase amụọ Emọn, Emọn amụọ Josaya.
11 And Josiah begat Jechoniah, and his brethren, —upon the removal to Babylon.
Mgbe e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼala Babilọn ka Josaya mụrụ Jekonaya na ụmụnne ya.
12 And, after the removal to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Mgbe ha si Babilọn lọta Jekonaya mụrụ Shealtiel, Shealtiel amụọ Zerubabel.
13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor;
Zerubabel mụrụ Abiud, Abiud amụọ Eliakịm, Eliakịm amụọ Azoa.
14 And Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud;
Azoa mụrụ Zadọk, Zadọk amụọ Akịm, Akịm amụọ Eliud.
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob; —
Eliud mụrụ Elieza, Elieza amụọ Matan, Matan amụọ Jekọb.
16 And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, —who is called Christ.
Jekọb mụrụ Josef onye bụ di Meri nne Jisọs, onye a na-akpọ Kraịst.
17 So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.
Ya mere, site nʼEbraham ruo na Devid, e nwere ọgbọ iri na anọ. Ma site nʼoge Devid ruo mgbe a dọọrọ ha nʼagha gaa Babilọn, e nwere ọgbọ iri na anọ. Sitekwanụ nʼoge ahụ ruo mgbe a mụrụ Kraịst bụkwa ọgbọ iri na anọ.
18 Now the birth, of [Jesus] Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, —before they came together, she was found with child by [the] Holy Spirit.
Otu a ka ọmụmụ Jisọs, onye a na-akpọ Kraịst siri dị: Nne ya Meri bụ onye e kwenyere na ọ ga-alụ Josef, ma tupu ha ebikọọ ọnụ a chọpụtara na Meri di ime site na Mmụọ Nsọ.
19 Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her, —intended, privately, to divorce her.
Ma Josef di ya bụ onye ezi omume, ọ chọghị imenye ya ihere, nʼihi ya, o zubere ịchụ ya na nzuzo.
20 But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, —Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of [the], Holy, Spirit.
Mgbe Josef nwechara mkpebi a, mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere ya na nrọ sị ya, “Josef nwa Devid, atụla egwu ịkpọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye gị, nʼihi na nwa ahụ ọ dị ime ya sitere nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ.
21 Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, —for, he, will save his people from their sins.
Ọ ga-amụkwa nwa nwoke, onye ị ga-akpọ aha ya Jisọs, nʼihi na ọ ga-azọpụta ndị nke ya site na mmehie ha.”
22 But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:
Ihe ndị a mere iji mezuo ihe ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onye amụma ya sị,
23 Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, —and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.
“Lee, nwaagbọghọ ahụ na-amaghị nwoke ga-atụrụ ime, mụọ nwa nwoke. Ha ga-akpọ aha ya Ịmanụel” (nke bụ ma asụgharịa ya, “Chineke nọnyeere anyị”).
24 And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, —and took unto him his wife;
Mgbe Josef si nʼụra teta, o mere dịka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu. Ọ kpọọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
25 and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, —and he called his name Jesus.
Ma ha abụọ edinakọghị tutu ruo mgbe ọ mụsịrị nwa nwoke, onye ọ kpọrọ aha ya Jisọs.
