Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Tala molongo ya mbotama ya Yesu-Klisto, mokitani ya Davidi mpe ya Abrayami:
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
Abrayami abotaki Izaki; Izaki abotaki Jakobi; Jakobi abotaki Yuda mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali;
3 And Judah begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
Yuda abotaki Peretsi mpe Zera na nzela ya Tamari, mwasi na ye; Peretsi abotaki Etsironi; Etsironi abotaki Arami;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
Arami abotaki Aminadabi; Aminadabi abotaki Nashoni, mpe Nashoni abotaki Salima;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Salima abotaki Boazi na nzela ya Raabi, mwasi na ye; Boazi abotaki Obedi na nzela ya Rite, mwasi na ye; Obedi abotaki Izayi,
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
mpe Izayi abotaki mokonzi Davidi. Davidi abotaki Salomo na nzela ya mwasi ya Uri;
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
Salomo abotaki Roboami; Roboami abotaki Abiya; Abiya abotaki Asa;
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
Asa abotaki Jozafati; Jozafati abotaki Yorami; Yorami abotaki Oziasi;
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
Oziasi abotaki Yotami; Yotami abotaki Akazi; Akazi abotaki Ezekiasi;
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
Ezekiasi abotaki Manase; Manase abotaki Amoni; Amoni abotaki Joziasi;
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Joziasi abotaki Yekonia mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali wana bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na bowumbu, na Babiloni.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
Sima na bana ya Isalaele kokende na bowumbu, na Babiloni, Yekonia abotaki Shealitieli; Shealitieli abotaki Zorobabeli;
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
Zorobabeli abotaki Abiwudi; Abiwudi abotaki Eliakimi; Eliakimi abotaki Azori;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Azori abotaki Tsadoki; Tsadoki abotaki Akimi; Akimi abotaki Eliwudi;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Eliwudi abotaki Eleazari; Eleazari abotaki Matani; Matani abotaki Jakobi;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakobi abotaki Jozefi, mobali ya Mari; mpe Mari azalaki mama ya Yesu oyo babengaka Klisto.
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.
Kobanda na Abrayami kino na Davidi, elekaki bikeke zomi na minei; kobanda na Davidi kino na tango oyo bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na bowumbu, na Babiloni, elekaki lisusu bikeke zomi na minei; mpe kobanda na bowumbu, na Babiloni, kino na Klisto, elekaki lisusu bikeke zomi na minei.
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.
Tala ndenge nini Yesu-Klisto abotamaki: Mari, mama na Ye, azalaki mobandami ya libala na Jozefi; kasi liboso ete bavanda ndako moko, Mari akomaki na zemi na nguya ya Molimo Mosantu.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away privately.
Jozefi, mobandami na ye ya libala, azalaki moto ya sembo. Boye, lokola Jozefi alingaki te koyokisa Mari soni na miso ya bato, azwaki mokano ya koboya Mari na kimia.
20 But while he thought on these things, 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.
Wana Jozefi azalaki kokanisa makambo yango, anjelu na Nkolo abimelaki ye kati na ndoto mpe alobaki na ye: « Jozefi, mokitani ya Davidi, kobanga te kobala Mari; pamba te zemi oyo azali na yango ewuti na Molimo Mosantu.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Akobota mwana mobali mpe okopesa Ye kombo Yesu, pamba te akobikisa bato na Ye na masumu na bango. »
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo Nkolo alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli:
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.
« Elenge mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te akokoma na zemi mpe akobota mwana mobali, bongo bakopesa Ye kombo Emanwele oyo elingi koloba: Nzambe elongo na biso. »
24 Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
Tango Jozefi alamukaki, asalaki makambo oyo anjelu na Nkolo atindaki ye kosala mpe azwaki Mari lokola mwasi na ye.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS.
Kasi Jozefi asangisaki nzoto te na Mari kino tango Mari abotaki mwana mobali; mpe Jozefi apesaki Ye kombo Yesu.
