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].
Utuba abanga Yeso, vana Udauda, bi Sana bi Ibrahim Bini.
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.
Ibrahim maa yoo Ishaku, Ishaku ma yoo yakubu, Yakubu mayoo Yahuda, nan anu henu umeme.
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.
Yahuda me mani maa yoo Larisa nan Zaraha nan Farisa, usuro u Tamar, Farisa ma yoo Hasruna, Hasruna mayoo Aram.
4 Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
Aram ma yoo Aminadab, Aminadab ma yoo Nashon, Nashon ma yoo Salman.
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.
Salman mayoo Bo'aza usuro u Rahab. Bo'aza ma yoo Obida usuro u Rut, Obida ma yoo Yesse.
6 Jesse was the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon. [Solomon’s mother was previously married to] Uriah.
Yesse ma yoo Dauda ugomo, Dauda ma yoo Sulemanu desa a ino me mani unee u Uriya.
7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the father of Abijah. Abijah was the father of Asaph.
Sulemanu ma yoo Rehoboulam, Rehoboulam ma yoo Abiya, Abiya ma yoo Asa.
8 Asaph was the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat was the father of Jehoram. Jehoram was an ancestor of Uzziah.
Asa ma yoo Yehoshafat, Yehoshafat ma yoo yoram, Yoram ma yoo Azariya.
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham. Jotham was the father of Ahaz. Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah.
A zariya ma yoo Yotam, Yotam ma yoo Ahas ma yoo Hezekiya.
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh. Manasseh was the father of Amon. Amon was the father of Josiah.
Hezekiya ma yoo Manassa, Manassa ma yoo Amon, Amon ma yooYosiya.
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.
Yosiya mayoo Yakoniya nan anu henu ume.
12 After the Babylonians took the Israelites to Babylon, Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel was the grandfather of Zerubbabel.
Uganya sa a ziki we u hana Ubabila, ba Yakoniya ma yoo Sheyaltiyel, sheyeltiyel ma yoo Zarubabel.
13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud. Abiud was the father of Eliakim.
Zarubabel ma yoo Abihudu, Abihudu ma yoo Eliyakim, Eliyakim ma yoo Azuro.
14 Eliakim was the father of Azor. Azor was the father of Zadok. Zadok was the father of Akim.
Azuro ma yoo Suduku, Suduku ma yoo Akimu, Akimu ma yoo Aliyidu.
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.
Aliyudu ma yoo Ele'azara, Ele'azara ma yoo Matana, Matana mayoo Yakubu.
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.
Yakubu ma yoo Isubu uruma' u maryamu desa ma yoo Yeso, sa atisa me unu bura.
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].
Vat bisana bi Ibrahim uhana u Dauda bisana kanu kirau in ka nazi. Usuro Udauda u'inta uwe uhani uwe ubabila me, bisana ukirau inkani ka nazi kani, u inta uwe ubabila uhana unu bura bisana ukirau in kani ka nazi.
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.
Uyoo u Yeso uzi gusi ana sa Isubu maa zin inti nyari ti Maryamu a i'no a Yeso, adaza sarki uzika ume, a iri me ma tonno u suro ubibe bilau.
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.
Uruma ume Isubu unu mani shew si, mada nyara me ma nya mu'i aje anu, ma ziki iriba ime madi harzina nan me in nihunzi.
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.
Sa mara anyimo ubasa imum me, bibe bi ka dura kasere bi'e ahira ame atiroo, bigu, “Yusufu vana Dauda katu kun biyau ziki une uwe maryamu, barki apuru a gino bibe bilau bini”
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’].”
Madi yoo vana udi nyame niza Yesu barki me mani madi buri a nu ame amadini.
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:
Vat uwuzi ani me, barki a myinca imumbe sa Ugomo Asere ma buka unu kur zoutize.
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’.
“I ye kubura kudi we puru, ku yoo vana, adi wume ni za Emmanuel” (bi nyo bini zame Asere azi nan haru).
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.
Sa Yusufu ma zuma amoro, matar si ti ze ti bibe bi kadura kasere ma ziki une ume.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
Dama rusi nipum nume mayo ma in kime ni za Yesu.
