Matthew 1
1 [This is] the record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, the descendant of [King] David and of Abraham, [from whom all we Jews have descended].
Jisu Kristo te awah Dewid sutoom loong, marah Abraham sutoom angta loong ah arah.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac was the father of Jacob. Jacob was the father of Judah and Judah’s [older and younger] brothers.
Abraham dowa ih Dewid tuk ih arah loong te awah rah ang rumta: Abraham, Isak, Jaakob, Juda nyi soophoh loong; erah lilih Perej nyia Jera (Nyi nuh ah Tamar angta), Hejron, Ram, Aminadab, Nason, Salmon, Booj (heh nuh ah Raahab angta), Obed (heh nuh ah Ruth), Jiisi nyia luungwang Dewid.
3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah, [and their mother] was Tamar. Perez was the father of Hezron. Hezron was the father of Ram.
4 Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
5 Salmon and his wife Rahab, [a non-Jewish woman], were the parents of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed. [Obed’s mother was] Ruth, [another non-Jewish woman]. Obed was the father of Jesse.
6 Jesse was the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon. [Solomon’s mother was previously married to] Uriah.
Dewid dowa ih Ijirel mina loong Bebiloon ni doksoon karumta tokdi te awah ah arah loong ah ang rumta: Dewid, Solomon (heh nuh rah langla Uriah minuh angta), Rehoboom, Abijah, Asa, Jehosaphat, Jehoram, Ujiah, Jotham, Ahaj, Hejekiah, Maniseh, Amon, Josiah, Jehochin nyia heh no loong ang rumta.
7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the father of Abijah. Abijah was the father of Asaph.
8 Asaph was the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat was the father of Jehoram. Jehoram was an ancestor of Uzziah.
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham. Jotham was the father of Ahaz. Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah.
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh. Manasseh was the father of Amon. Amon was the father of Josiah.
11 Josiah was the grandfather of Jeconiah and Jeconiah’s brothers. [They lived] at the time when the [Babylonian army] took the Israelites as captives to the [country of] Babylon.
12 After the Babylonians took the Israelites to Babylon, Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel was the grandfather of Zerubbabel.
Bebiloon ni doksoon karumta dowa ih Jisu Kristo tupta mong adi te awah rah arah loong ah ang rumta: Jehoiachin, Siiltil, Jerubabel, Abiud, Eliakim, Ajor, Jaadok, Achim, Eliud, Eliajar, Matthan, Jaakob, nyia Jisu ah Kristo et poon rumta nuh Meeri kapte wah Josep.
13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud. Abiud was the father of Eliakim.
14 Eliakim was the father of Azor. Azor was the father of Zadok. Zadok was the father of Akim.
15 Akim was the father of Eliud. Eliud was the father of Eleazar. Eleazar was the father of Matthan. Matthan was the father of Jacob.
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph. Joseph was Mary’s husband, and Mary was Jesus’ mother. Jesus is the one who is called {whom we call} the Messiah.
17 [As you can calculate, I have grouped Jesus’] ancestors [as follows: ] There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when] Abraham [lived] to [the time when King] David [lived]. There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when] David [lived] to [the time when] the [Israelites were taken] {[the Babylonian army took the Israelites]} away to Babylon. There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when the Israelites were taken] {[the Babylonian army took the Israelites]} away to Babylon until [the time when] the Messiah [was born].
Erah ang abah, Dewid dowa ih Abraham chamchi ni mina hasong ah asih roi baji angta, eno Dewid dowa ih Bebiloon ni hamat karumta mong adi asih roi baji angta erah damdi Bebiloon ni hamat karumta dowa ih Jisu tup ra taha chamchi adi uh asih roobaji angta.
18 This is [the account of what happened just before] Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, {had publicly promised Joseph that she would marry him} had been publicly promised to marry Joseph. Before they began to sleep together, [Mary] realized that she was pregnant. [It was the power of] the Holy Spirit that had caused her to become pregnant.
Jisu Kristo ah ame tupta. Heh nuh Meeri ah Josep damdi kakhat muita, enoothong maang nookmui nyuuka ngadi, Meeri suh Esa Chiiala nawa ih hemong ni heh sah ejen wok et thukta.
19 Joseph, her [future] husband, was a man who obeyed God’s commands. [One of those commands was that men must divorce women who had acted immorally. So when Joseph learned that Mary was pregnant, he assumed that she was pregnant as a result of her acting immorally]. So he decided to break the engagement. But because he did not want to shame her publicly, he decided to do it privately.
Josep ah saarookwih epun ih reete toongtang mina angta, ang abah uh heh ih Meeri asuh noksong dung nah erakri phoh eah ih thun ano; husah lam ih we paak haatmui suh taat thunta.
20 While he was seriously considering this, much to his surprise, in a dream he saw an angel whom the Lord [had sent]. The angel said, “Joseph, descendant of [King] David, do not be afraid that [you(sg) would be doing wrong if you(sg) would marry] Mary. Instead, [begin to treat her] as your wife, because the Holy Spirit, [not a man], has caused her to be pregnant.
Heh ih erah thunta tok adi, Teesu ih Rangsah ah heh mangphe di dongchap ano baat thukta, “Josep, Dewid sutoom, Meeri ah an sanuh et kap suh nakcho uh. Tumeah heh suh Esa Chiiala nawa ih sakjih ang thukla.
21 She will give birth to a son. Since it is he who will cause that his people will be saved from [the guilt of] their having sinned, name [the baby] Jesus, [which means ‘the Lord saves people’].”
Heh ih miwasah et dong tup ah, eno an ih heh men ah Jisu et men theng tumeah heh ih heh mina loong neng rangdah nawa puipang ah.”
22 All this happened as a result of what the Lord told the prophet [Isaiah to write long ago about what was going to happen]. This is what Isaiah wrote:
Erah langla Teesu ih khowah suh baatta jengkhaap ah amiisak toom ang raaha ih ang thukla,
23 “Listen, a virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will call him Emmanuel.” Emmanuel means ‘God is with us’.
“Kateng Jaalah esiit heh sah wok ano heh sah ah miwasah ang ah, eno Imanuel et poon ah” (erah langla, “Rangte ah seng damdi”)
24 When Joseph got up from sleep, he did what the angel whom the Lord [had sent] commanded him to do. He took [Mary] home to be his wife.
Eno Josep ah jup nawa saat ano, Rangsah ih baatta jun ih, Meeri ah kapta.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
Ang abah uh heh sah tup ngah di Meeri damdi taroom jupta. Eno Josep ih heh men ah Jisu et menta.
