7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa;
Usulemani ahali yise wa Rehoboamu, u Rehoboamu yise wa Abiya, u Abiya yise wa Asa.
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah;
U Asa ahali yise wa Yehoshafati, u Yehoshafati yise wa Yoramu, u Yoramu yise wa Uzia.
9 And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah:
U Uzia ahali yise wa Yothamu, u Yothamu yise wa Ahazi, u Ahazi yise wa Hezekia.
10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah;
U Hezekia ahali yise wa Manase, u Manase yise wa Amoni u Amoni yise wa Yosia.
11 And Josiah begat Jechoniah, and his brethren, —upon the removal to Babylon.
U Yosia ahali yise wa Yekonia na kaka bhakwe lwebhahegwaga abhale hu Babeli.
12 And, after the removal to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Baada ya hwegwe abhale hu Babeli, u Yekonia ahali yise wa Shatieli, u Shatieli ahali mwizukulu wa Zerubabeli.
13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor;

14 And Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud;

16 And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, —who is called Christ.
U Yakobo ahali yise wa Yusufu unume wa Mariamu, yehwamwene u Yesu ahapapwilwe, yahwitwa Klisiti.
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.
Impapo zyonti afume hwa Ibrahimu hadi hwa Daudi zyahali impapo kumi na nne, afume hwa Daudi hadi hwegwe abhale hwa Babeli impapo kumi na nne, na afume ahwegwe afume hu Babeli hadi hwa Klisiti impapo kumi na nne.
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.
Apapwe hwa Yesu Klisiti hwahali ishi. Unyina wakwe u Mariamu, ahazinjiwilwe nu Yusufu, ishi shebhasili alolane ahaloleshe aje alinivyanda hwa mpepo umfinjile.
19 Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her, —intended, privately, to divorce her.
Unume wakwe u Yusufu, ahali muntu wi lyoli zaga ahauzaga hukenyesye hubhantu. Ahamuye ahwimilisye husili.
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.
Nahasibhaga ahusu amamba iga, uwantumi uwa ngumbhi ahamfumiiye hunjozi, ahaga, “Yusufu mwana wa Daudi, usahogope humweje u Mariamu unshi waho pipo ulwanda lwali nalwo lufumiline nu Mepo umfinjile.
21 Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, —for, he, will save his people from their sins.
Abhapape umwana unsahala ubhalunkwize itawa lyakwe yu Yesu, papo anzahubhokole abhantu bhakwe ni dhambi zyabho.”
22 But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:
Gonti gahafumiye aje nkezibhombeshe zyezyayangwile nu gosi hwidala lya kuwa aje,
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.
“Enya, u bikira ahayibha ni vyanda ahayipapa umwana uwishilume itawa lyakwe abhahukwizye yu Imanueli” — imaana yakwe, “Ungulubhi ali natwi.”
24 And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, —and took unto him his wife;
U Yusufu ahadamushe mutulo na bhombe ndeshe abhantumi ngosi she bhahamuzizye na ahamwejile unshi wakwe.
25 and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, —and he called his name Jesus.
Hata shinisho, sagahagonile nawo mpaka lwahapapa umwana uwishilume ahankwizya itawa lyakwe yu Yesu.
