And Solomon was the father of Roboam; and Roboam was the father of Abia; and Abia was the father of Asa;

10 Hezekia ajhele tata ghwa Manase, Manase tata ghwa Amoni ni Amoni tata ghwa Yosia.
And Ezekias was the father of Manasses; and Manasses was the father of Amon; and Amon was the father of Josias;
11 Yosia ajhele tata ghwa Yekonia ni bhalongomunu bhwakati bhwa kutolibhwa kulota Babeli.
And Josias was the father of Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Ni baada jha kutolibhwa kul'ota Babeli, Yekonia ajhele tata ghwa Shatieli, Shatieli ajhele kokho munu ni Zerubabeli.
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias was the father of Salathiel; and Salathiel was the father of Zorobabel;

And Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Fizazi fyoha kuh'omela Ibrahimu hadi Daudi fyaj'hele fizazi kumi na nne, kuh'omela Daudi hadi kutolibhwa kulota Babeli fizazi kumi na nne, ni kuhomela kutolibhwa kulota Babeli hadi Kristu fizazi kumi na nne.
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 Kuhogoleka kwa Yesu Kristu kwajhele namna e'j'he. Ndebhuake, Mariamu, achumbilibhu ni Yusufu, lakini kabla bhakhona kubhonana, abhonekene kujha nu luleme kwa ngofo sya Roho Mtakatifu.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Ngwanamunu Yusufu, aj'hele munu mwenye haki alondeghe lepi kun'haibisya hadharani. Aamuili kuleka uchumba bhwake kwa siri.
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 Bho ifikirira juu j'ha mambo agha, Malaika ghwa Bwana an'hidili mu ndoto, ajobhili, “Yusufu muana ghwa Daudi, usilili kun'tola Mariamu kama n'dalabhu, kwa ndabha luleme lwaaj'henabhu ni kwa bhuweza bhwa Roho Mtakatifu.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 Ibetakuhogola mwana ghwa n'gosi ni ghwibeta kun'kuta lihina lyake Yesu, kwa ndabha ibetakubhaokola bhanu bhake ni dhambi syabhene.”
And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Ghoha agha ghahomili kutimisibhwa k'hela kyaka nenebhu ni Bwana kwa nj'hela j'ha nabiii ajobhili,
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 “Langai, bikira ibetakukabha luleme ni kuhogola muana n'gosi, na bhibetakun'kuta lihina lyake Imanueli”— maana ghiake, “K'yara pamonga natu.”
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 Yusufu aj'humuiki kuh'omela mulugono ni kubhomba kama malaika ghwa Bwana kyaan'jobhili na an'tolili kama n'dala.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
25 Hata nahu agonililepi naku mpaka bho akifunguili muana n'gosi ni kunkuta lihina lyake Yesu
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
