1 Nke a bụ ndekọ usoro ọmụmụ Jisọs onye bụ Kraịst, nwa Devid, nwa Ebraham.
The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Ebraham mụrụ Aịzik, Aịzik amụọ Jekọb, Jekọb amụọ Juda na ụmụnne ya.
The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
3 Juda mụtara Perez na Zera site na Tama, Perez mụrụ Hezrọn, Hezrọn amụọ Aram.
And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
4 Aram mụrụ Aminadab, Aminadab mụrụ Nashọn, Nashọn amụọ Salmọn.
And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
5 Salmọn bụ nna Boaz, site na nwunye ya Rehab, Boaz mụrụ Obed, site na nwunye ya Rut, Obed amụọ Jesi.
And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
6 Jesi amụọ Devid, bụ eze. Devid mụrụ Solomọn site na nwunye ya Ụraya.
And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 Solomọn mụrụ Rehoboam, Rehoboam amụọ Abija, Abija amụọ Esa.
And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
8 Esa mụrụ Jehoshafat, Jehoshafat amụọ Joram, Joram amụọ Ụzaịa.
And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
9 Ụzaịa mụrụ Jotam, Jọtam amụọ Ehaz, Ehaz amụọ Hezekaya.
And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
10 Hezekaya mụrụ Manase, Manase amụọ Emọn, Emọn amụọ Josaya.
And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
11 Mgbe e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼala Babilọn ka Josaya mụrụ Jekonaya na ụmụnne ya.
And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
12 Mgbe ha si Babilọn lọta Jekonaya mụrụ Shealtiel, Shealtiel amụọ Zerubabel.
And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
13 Zerubabel mụrụ Abiud, Abiud amụọ Eliakịm, Eliakịm amụọ Azoa.
And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
14 Azoa mụrụ Zadọk, Zadọk amụọ Akịm, Akịm amụọ Eliud.
And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
15 Eliud mụrụ Elieza, Elieza amụọ Matan, Matan amụọ Jekọb.
And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
16 Jekọb mụrụ Josef onye bụ di Meri nne Jisọs, onye a na-akpọ Kraịst.
And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
17 Ya mere, site nʼEbraham ruo na Devid, e nwere ọgbọ iri na anọ. Ma site nʼoge Devid ruo mgbe a dọọrọ ha nʼagha gaa Babilọn, e nwere ọgbọ iri na anọ. Sitekwanụ nʼoge ahụ ruo mgbe a mụrụ Kraịst bụkwa ọgbọ iri na anọ.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Otu a ka ọmụmụ Jisọs, onye a na-akpọ Kraịst siri dị: Nne ya Meri bụ onye e kwenyere na ọ ga-alụ Josef, ma tupu ha ebikọọ ọnụ a chọpụtara na Meri di ime site na Mmụọ Nsọ.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Ma Josef di ya bụ onye ezi omume, ọ chọghị imenye ya ihere, nʼihi ya, o zubere ịchụ ya na nzuzo.
And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
20 Mgbe Josef nwechara mkpebi a, mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere ya na nrọ sị ya, “Josef nwa Devid, atụla egwu ịkpọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye gị, nʼihi na nwa ahụ ọ dị ime ya sitere nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ.
But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Ọ ga-amụkwa nwa nwoke, onye ị ga-akpọ aha ya Jisọs, nʼihi na ọ ga-azọpụta ndị nke ya site na mmehie ha.”
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
22 Ihe ndị a mere iji mezuo ihe ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onye amụma ya sị,
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23 “Lee, nwaagbọghọ ahụ na-amaghị nwoke ga-atụrụ ime, mụọ nwa nwoke. Ha ga-akpọ aha ya Ịmanụel” (nke bụ ma asụgharịa ya, “Chineke nọnyeere anyị”).
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
24 Mgbe Josef si nʼụra teta, o mere dịka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu. Ọ kpọọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
25 Ma ha abụọ edinakọghị tutu ruo mgbe ọ mụsịrị nwa nwoke, onye ọ kpọrọ aha ya Jisọs.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
