1 Nke a bụ ndekọ usoro ọmụmụ Jisọs onye bụ Kraịst, nwa Devid, nwa Ebraham.
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Ebraham mụrụ Aịzik, Aịzik amụọ Jekọb, Jekọb amụọ Juda na ụmụnne ya.

And Judah begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 Jesi amụọ Devid, bụ eze. Devid mụrụ Solomọn site na nwunye ya Ụraya.
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
7 Solomọn mụrụ Rehoboam, Rehoboam amụọ Abija, Abija amụọ Esa.
And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 Esa mụrụ Jehoshafat, Jehoshafat amụọ Joram, Joram amụọ Ụzaịa.
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 Ụzaịa mụrụ Jotam, Jọtam amụọ Ehaz, Ehaz amụọ Hezekaya.
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 Hezekaya mụrụ Manase, Manase amụọ Emọn, Emọn amụọ Josaya.
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 Mgbe e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼala Babilọn ka Josaya mụrụ Jekonaya na ụmụnne ya.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Mgbe ha si Babilọn lọta Jekonaya mụrụ Shealtiel, Shealtiel amụọ Zerubabel.
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 Zerubabel mụrụ Abiud, Abiud amụọ Eliakịm, Eliakịm amụọ Azoa.
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 Azoa mụrụ Zadọk, Zadọk amụọ Akịm, Akịm amụọ Eliud.
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 Eliud mụrụ Elieza, Elieza amụọ Matan, Matan amụọ Jekọb.
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 Jekọb mụrụ Josef onye bụ di Meri nne Jisọs, onye a na-akpọ Kraịst.
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called 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 until the carrying away into Babylon [are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ [are] 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 manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found 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.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, purposed 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 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.
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 shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Ihe ndị a mere iji mezuo ihe ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onye amụma ya sị,
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
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”).
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 Mgbe Josef si nʼụra teta, o mere dịka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu. Ọ kpọọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
25 Ma ha abụọ edinakọghị tutu ruo mgbe ọ mụsịrị nwa nwoke, onye ọ kpọrọ aha ya Jisọs.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS.
