. Sulemani aliga alisemwene Rehoboamu, Rehobohamu alisemwene wa Abiya, Abiya alisemwene wa Asa.
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;

10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;

11 And Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Yosia aligaesemwene Yekonia na bhamula bhabho omwanya gunu bhagegelwe okusilwa Babeli.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Omwanya gunu bhaliga bhamalile ogegwa okuja Babeli, Yekonia aliga alisemwene Shatieri, Shatieri aliga ali jaji wabhona Zelubabeli.

16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Yakobo aliga alisemwene Yusufu omulume wa Mariamu unu kusoka kumwene Yesu ebhuhye unu katogwa 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.
Jinyibhulo jona okusoka ku Ibrahimu okukinga ku Daudi jaliga nyibhulo ekumi nena, okusoka ku Daudi okukinga okugegwa okuja Babeli ni nyibhulo ekumi nena, no kusoka anu bhagegibhwe okuja Babeli okukinga ku Kristo ni nyibhulo ekumi nena.
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.
Okwibhulwa kwa Yesu Kristo kwaliga kulikutya, nyila wae, Mariamu aliga nasandwa na Yusufu, akatungu bhachali kubhonana chi mubhili nabhonekana ati alinainda kubhutulo bhwo mwoyo mwelu.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away secretly.
Omulume wae Yusufu aliga munu mulengelesi atendele kumuswasha abhwelu. Alamuye okubhusiga obhuko obhwo kwo bhwitebhe.
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.
Anu aliga acheganilisha ingulu ya magambo ago, Maraika wa Nyamuanga namubhonekela mu chiloto naika, Yusufu mwende Daudi utajakubhaya okumugega Mariamu kuti mugasi wao kulwokubha inda inu alinayo ni kulwo bhuturo bhwo Mwoyo mweru.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Kaja okwibhula omwana we chilume umubhilikile lisina lyae Yesu, kulwokubha niwe kaja okubhachungula abhanu bhae ne bhibhibhi byebwe
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Gona ganu gasokana okukumisha jinu jaikilwe na Nyamuanga ku njila yo mulagi naika,
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.
Lola omuyala aligega inda no kwibhula omwana mulume na bhalimubhilikila lisina lyae Imanuel insonga yendemo Nyamuanga amwi neswe.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
Yusufu emukile okusoka muntilo nakola kutyo Malaika wa Nyamuanga kutyo amulagilie na amugegele kuti mugasi wae.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Kulwejo nolo jabhee kutyo atamamile nage katungu kone okukinga ao ebhulie omwana we chilume namubhilikila lisina lyae Yesu.
