And Salmon brings forth Booz of Rachab; and Booz brings forth Obed of Ruth; and Obed brings forth Jesse;
6 nake Jesii aarĩ ithe wa Mũthamaki Daudi. Daudi aarĩ ithe wa Solomoni, ũrĩa nyina aarĩ mũtumia wa Uria,
And Jesse brings forth David the king; and David the king brings forth Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7 nake Solomoni aarĩ ithe wa Rehoboamu, nake Rehoboamu aarĩ ithe wa Abija, nake Abija aarĩ ithe wa Asa,
And Solomon brings forth Roboam; and Roboam brings forth Abia; and Abia brings forth Asa;
8 nake Asa aarĩ ithe wa Jehoshafatu, nake Jehoshafatu aarĩ ithe wa Joramu, nake Joramu aarĩ ithe wa Uzia,
And Asa brings forth Josaphat; and Josaphat brings forth Joram; and Joram brings forth Ozias;
9 nake Uzia aarĩ ithe wa Jothamu, nake Jothamu aarĩ ithe wa Ahazu, nake Ahazu aarĩ ithe wa Hezekia,
And Ozias brings forth Joatham; and Joatham brings forth Achaz; and Achaz brings forth Ezekias;
10 nake Hezekia aarĩ ithe wa Manase, nake Manase aarĩ ithe wa Amoni, nake Amoni aarĩ ithe wa Josia,
And Ezekias brings forth Manasses; and Manasses brings forth Amon; and Amon brings forth Josias;
11 nake Josia aarĩ ithe wa Jekonia na ariũ a ithe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ maatahirwo, magĩtwarwo Babuloni.
And Josias brings forth Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Thuutha wa gũtahwo, magĩtwarwo kũu Babuloni: Jekonia aarĩ ithe wa Shealitieli, nake Shealitieli aarĩ ithe wa Zerubabeli,
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias brings forth Salathiel; and Salathiel brings forth Zorobabel;
13 nake Zerubabeli aarĩ ithe wa Abihudu, nake Abihudu aarĩ ithe wa Eliakimu, nake Eliakimu aarĩ ithe wa Azoro,
And Zorobabel brings forth Abiud; and Abiud brings forth Eliakim; and Eliakim brings forth Azor;
14 nake Azoro aarĩ ithe wa Zadoku, nake Zadoku aarĩ ithe wa Akimu, nake Akimu aarĩ ithe wa Eliudi,

15 nake Eliudi aarĩ ithe wa Eleazaru, nake Eleazaru aarĩ ithe wa Maathani, nake Maathani aarĩ ithe wa Jakubu,
And Eliud brings forth Eleazar; and Eleazar brings forth Matthan; and Matthan brings forth Jacob;
16 nake Jakubu aarĩ ithe wa Jusufu, mũthuuri wa Mariamu, ũrĩa waciarire Jesũ, ũrĩa wĩtagwo Kristũ.
And Jacob brings forth Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Ũguo nĩ kuuga njiaro ciothe ciarĩ ikũmi na inya kuuma Iburahĩmu nginya Daudi, na njiaro ikũmi na inya kuuma Daudi nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ maatahirwo magĩtwarwo kũu Babuloni, na ningĩ njiaro ikũmi na inya kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ maatahirwo nginya hĩndĩ ya Kristũ.
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 unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Ũhoro wa gũciarwo kwa Jesũ Kristũ watariĩ ũũ: Nyina Mariamu nĩ oorĩtio nĩ Jusufu atuĩke mũtumia wake, no matanaikarania-rĩ, nĩamenyekire atĩ arĩ na nda ya Roho Mũtheru.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was likewise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
19 Nake Jusufu mũthuuri wake tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mũthingu na ndangĩendire kũmũconorithia kũrĩ andũ, agĩĩciiria amũtige na hitho.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
20 No thuutha wa gwĩciiria ũndũ ũcio, mũraika wa Mwathani akĩmuumĩrĩra kĩroto-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jusufu, mũrũ wa Daudi, ndũkae gwĩtigĩra kũhikia Mariamu atuĩke mũtumia waku, tondũ nda ĩyo arĩ nayo nĩ ya Roho Mũtheru.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
21 Nĩagaciara kahĩĩ, nawe nĩũgagatua Jesũ, tondũ nĩwe ũkaahonokia andũ ake kuuma mehia-inĩ mao.”
And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Na rĩrĩ, maũndũ macio mothe meekĩkire nĩguo ũrĩa Mwathani aarĩtie na kanua ka mũnabii ũhinge, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ,
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 “Mũirĩtu gathirange nĩakagĩa nda na nĩagaciara kahĩĩ, nao magaagatua Imanueli” ũguo naguo ũgĩtaũrwo nĩ kuuga, “Ngai hamwe na ithuĩ.”
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.
24 Rĩrĩa Jusufu ookĩrire, agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa mũraika wa Mwathani aamwathĩte, nake akĩinũkia Mariamu gwake mũciĩ, agĩtuĩka mũtumia wake.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 No matiigana kũmenyana nginya rĩrĩa aaciarire mwana ũcio wa kahĩĩ. Nake Jusufu agĩtua mwana ũcio Jesũ.
And had sexual contact with her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
