Matthew 1
1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Yesu Kristo a ɔfiri Ɔhene Dawid ne Abraham abusua mu no mpanimfoɔ din na ɛdidi soɔ yi:
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
Abraham ba ne Isak, Isak ba ne Yakob; Yakob nso mma ne Yuda ne ne nuanom.
3 And Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar; and Pharez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;
Yuda mma ne Peres ne Sera. Wɔn maame ne Tamar. Peres ba ne Hesron ɛnna Hesron nso ba ne Ram.
4 And Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
Ram woo Aminadab; Aminadab woo Nahson; Nahson nso woo Salmon.
5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Salmon ne ne yere Rahab woo Boas; Boas ne ne yere Rut woo Obed; Obed nso woo Yisai.
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;
Yisai ba ne Ɔhene Dawid. Dawid ba ne Salomo. Dawid ne Batseba a na anka ɔyɛ Uria yere no na wɔwoo Salomo.
7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
Salomo woo Rehoboam; Rehoboam woo Abia; Abia woo Asa.
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
Asa woo Yehosafat; Yehosafat woo Yoram, Yoram nso woo Usia
9 And Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
Usia ba ne Yotam; Yotam ba ne Ahas: Ahas ba ne Hiskia.
10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
Hiskia ba ne Manase, Manase ba ne Amon; Amon nso ba ne Yosia.
11 And Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Yosia woo Yekonia ne ne nuanom. Wɔwoo wɔn ɛberɛ a na Yudafoɔ te nnommum mu wɔ Babilon no.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Wɔn a wɔfiri Babilon nnommum mu baeɛ no akyi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nie: Yekonia woo Sealtiel; Sealtiel woo Serubabel.
13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
Serubabel woo Abihud; Abihud woo Eliakim; Eliakim nso woo Asor.
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Asor ba ne Sadok; Sadok ba ne Akim; Akim ba ne Elihud.
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Elihud ba ne Eleasa; Eleasa ba ne Matan. Matan nso ba ne Yakob;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Yakob woo Yosef a ɔwaree Maria no. Saa Maria yi na ɔwoo Yesu Kristo.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
Awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛfiri Abraham so de bɛsi Ɔhene Dawid so yɛ dunan. Ɛfiri Ɔhene Dawid so de bɛsi ɛberɛ a wɔfaa ɔman no nnommum kɔɔ Babilon no nso awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ yɛ dunan saa ara. Saa ara nso na ɛfiri ɛberɛ a wɔtu firii Babilon sane baa wɔn ɔman mu bio no de bɛsi Kristo awoɔ so nso yɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ dunan.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.
Sɛdeɛ Yesu Kristo awoɔ ho nsɛm teɛ nie: Wɔde ne maame Maria maa Yosef sɛ ɔnware no, nanso ansa na wɔbɛhyiam sɛ awarefoɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ wanyinsɛn deɛ ɛfiri Honhom Kronkron.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away secretly.
Ɛbaa saa no, ne kunu Yosef a ɔdi ne ho ni no ampɛ sɛ ɔbɛgu Maria anim ase enti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛgyaa no awadeɛ kɔkoam.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
Ɛberɛ a asɛm no ayɛ Yosef dadwene no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ bɛyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no daeɛ mu. Ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yosef, Dawid aseni, nnyae Maria awadeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, ne nyinsɛn no firi Honhom Kronkron.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Ɔbɛwo ɔbarima na wɔato no edin Yesu, aseɛ ne Agyenkwa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔbɛgye ne nkurɔfoɔ nkwa afiri wɔn bɔne mu.”
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Yei nyinaa baa mu de hyɛɛ deɛ Awurade nam odiyifoɔ no so kaeɛ no ma sɛ:
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
“Ɔbaabunu no bɛnyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔato no edin Immanuel” a aseɛ ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.”
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
Ɛberɛ a Yosef nyaneeɛ no, ɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɔfoɔ no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Enti ɔkɔfaa Maria baa ne fie ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Yosef ne Maria anhyia da kɔsii sɛ Maria woo ɔbabarima maa Yosef too ne din “Yesu.”
