And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;

And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 Yosia ajhele tata ghwa Yekonia ni bhalongomunu bhwakati bhwa kutolibhwa kulota Babeli.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, 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 begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

And Jacob begat 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 unto 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 publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
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 unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy 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 thou shalt 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 unto 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.
