11 nake Josia aarĩ ithe wa Jekonia na ariũ a ithe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ maatahirwo, magĩtwarwo Babuloni.
Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers, about the time of the removal to Babylon.
12 Thuutha wa gũtahwo, magĩtwarwo kũu Babuloni: Jekonia aarĩ ithe wa Shealitieli, nake Shealitieli aarĩ ithe wa Zerubabeli,

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 till David are fourteen generations: and from David till the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations: and from the removal to Babylon till the 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.
But Jesus Christ was begotten thus: After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they had come together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.
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 choosing to make an example of her, intended 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 was thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take home Mary your wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Nĩagaciara kahĩĩ, nawe nĩũgagatua Jesũ, tondũ nĩwe ũkaahonokia andũ ake kuuma mehia-inĩ mao.”
And she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus; for he will 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 the word might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through 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 bear a son, and his name shall be called Immanuel, which, when translated, is, God with us.
24 Rĩrĩa Jusufu ookĩrire, agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa mũraika wa Mwathani aamwathĩte, nake akĩinũkia Mariamu gwake mũciĩ, agĩtuĩka mũtumia wake.
And Joseph awoke from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him; and he took home his wife,
25 No matiigana kũmenyana nginya rĩrĩa aaciarire mwana ũcio wa kahĩĩ. Nake Jusufu agĩtua mwana ũcio Jesũ.
and knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son. And he called his name Jesus.
