< Matthew 1 >

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
He tah Abraham kah cadil, David kah cadil, Jesuh Khrih kah rhuirhong cabu ni.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
Abraham loh Isaak a sak tih, Isaak loh Jakob a sak, Jakob loh Judah boeinaphung a sak.
3 And Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar; and Pharez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;
Judah neh Tamar loh Perez neh Zerah a sak tih, Perez loh Herezon a sak, Hezron loh Aram a sak.
4 And Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
Aram loh Amminadab a sak tih, Aminadab loh Nahshon a sak. Nahshon loh Salmon a sak.
5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Salmon neh Rahab loh Boaz a sak rhoi, Boaz neh Ruth loh Obed a sak, Obed loh Jesse a sak.
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;
Jesse loh manghai David a sak tih, David neh Uriah kah yurho loh Solomon a sak.
7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
Solomon loh Rehoboam a sak tih, Rehoboam loh Abijah a sak, Abijah loh Asa a sak
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
Asa loh Jehoshaphat a sak tih, Jehoshaphat loh Joram a sak, Joram loh Uzziah a sak
9 And Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
Uzziah loh Jotham a sak tih, Jotham loh Ahaz a sak, Ahaz loh Hezekiah a sak,
10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
Hezekiah loh Manasseh a sak tih, Manasseh loh Amos a sak, Amos loh Josiah a sak.
11 And Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Josiah he Babylonla a puennah kungah Jekhoniah neh a manuca rhoek te a sak
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Babylon la a puennah hnukah, Jekhoniah loh Shealtiel a sak, Shealtiel loh Zerubbabel a sak,
13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
Zerubbabel loh Abiud a sak tih, Abiud loh Eliakim a sak, Eliakim loh Azor a sak,
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Azor loh Zadok a sak tih, Zadok loh Achim a sak, Achim loh Eliud a sak,
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Eliud loh Eleazar a sak tih, Eleazar loh Matthan a sak, Matthan loh Jakob a sak,
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakob loh Mary kah a va Joseph a sak. Anih lamloh Khrih la a khue Jesuh a sak.
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.
Te dongah Abraham lamloh David duela a khongla khong hlaili tih, David lamloh Babylonla a puennah duela khong hlaili, Babylonla a puennah lamloh Khrih duela boeih ah khong hlaili lo.
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.
Jesuh Khrih kah rhuirhong khaw ana om tangloeng. A manu Mary he Joseph hamla a bae dae a om rhoi hlan ah Mueihla Cim loh bungvawn la a om sak te a ming.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away secretly.
A va Joseph tah aka duengla om tih anih te yan ham a ngaih pawt dongah toeng hamla duem cai.
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.
He a poek vaengah, boeipa kah puencawn loh anih taengla a mang ah pakcak a phoe pah tih, “David capa Joseph Mary te na yuula loh ham rhih boeh, anih a vawn he Mueihla Cim rhangnen ni,”.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Capa a cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh na sui ni. Anih long tah a pilnam te a tholh khui lamloh a khang ni.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
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.
Tonghma lamlong khaw, “Oila te bungvawn la om vetih capa a cun ni, a ming tah Emmanuel la a khue uh ni he. Te tah mamih taengah aka om Pathen ni a thuingaih,” a ti nah.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
Joseph tah a ih kung lamkah a thoh vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn loh anih a uen bangla a ngai tih a yuu te a loh.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
