Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called the Messiah.
17 Kobanda na Abrayami kino na Davidi, elekaki bikeke zomi na minei; kobanda na Davidi kino na tango oyo bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na bowumbu, na Babiloni, elekaki lisusu bikeke zomi na minei; mpe kobanda na bowumbu, na Babiloni, kino na Klisto, elekaki lisusu bikeke zomi na minei.
All the generations, therefore, are, from Abraham to David fourteen generations, and from David to the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations, and from the captivity of Babylon to the Messiah fourteen generations.
18 Tala ndenge nini Yesu-Klisto abotamaki: Mari, mama na Ye, azalaki mobandami ya libala na Jozefi; kasi liboso ete bavanda ndako moko, Mari akomaki na zemi na nguya ya Molimo Mosantu.
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Jozefi, mobandami na ye ya libala, azalaki moto ya sembo. Boye, lokola Jozefi alingaki te koyokisa Mari soni na miso ya bato, azwaki mokano ya koboya Mari na kimia.
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting her away privately.
20 Wana Jozefi azalaki kokanisa makambo yango, anjelu na Nkolo abimelaki ye kati na ndoto mpe alobaki na ye: « Jozefi, mokitani ya Davidi, kobanga te kobala Mari; pamba te zemi oyo azali na yango ewuti na Molimo Mosantu.
And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit:
21 Akobota mwana mobali mpe okopesa Ye kombo Yesu, pamba te akobikisa bato na Ye na masumu na bango. »
and she will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate his people from their sins.
22 Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo Nkolo alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli:
Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
23 « Elenge mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te akokoma na zemi mpe akobota mwana mobali, bongo bakopesa Ye kombo Emanwele oyo elingi koloba: Nzambe elongo na biso. »
Behold, a virgin will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our God with us.
24 Tango Jozefi alamukaki, asalaki makambo oyo anjelu na Nkolo atindaki ye kosala mpe azwaki Mari lokola mwasi na ye.
And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 Kasi Jozefi asangisaki nzoto te na Mari kino tango Mari abotaki mwana mobali; mpe Jozefi apesaki Ye kombo Yesu.
And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
