And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 Uzziya n’azaala Yosamu, Yosamu n’azaala Akazi, Akazi n’azaala Keezeekiya.
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;

And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 Yosiya n’azaala Yekoniya ne baganda be mu kiseera eky’okutwalibwa e Babulooni.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Nga bamaze okutwalibwa e Babulooni: Yekoniya n’azaala Seyalutyeri, Seyalutyeri n’azaala Zerubbaberi.
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 Zerubbaberi n’azaala Abiwuudi, Abiwuudi n’azaala Eriyakimu, Eriyakimu n’azaala Azoli.

And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 Yakobo n’azaala Yusufu, oyo ye bba wa Maliyamu eyazaala Yesu ayitibwa Kristo.
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Noolwekyo emirembe gyonna okuva ku Ibulayimu okutuuka ku Dawudi gyali kkumi n’ena, era okuva ku Dawudi okutuuka ku kuwaŋŋaangusibwa e Babulooni, emirembe kkumi n’ena, era okuva ku kuwaŋŋaangusibwa e Babulooni okutuuka ku Kristo, nagyo emirembe kkumi n’ena.
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 Okuzaalibwa kwa Yesu Kristo kwali bwe kuti: Maliyamu nnyina bwe yali ng’akyayogerezebwa Yusufu, era nga tebanaba kufumbiriganwa n’alabika ng’ali lubuto ku bwa Mwoyo Omutukuvu.
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 Awo Yusufu eyali amwogereza, olwokubanga yali muntu mulungi n’asalawo mu mutima gwe okumuleka, naye ng’ayagala akikole mu kyama aleme kukwasa Maliyamu nsonyi.
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 Naye bwe yali ng’agalamidde ku kitanda kye ng’akyabirowoozaako, n’afuna ekirooto; n’alaba malayika wa Mukama ng’ayimiridde w’ali, n’amugamba nti, “Yusufu, omwana wa Dawudi, totya kutwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi wo! Kubanga olubuto lw’alina yalufuna ku bwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu.
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 Era alizaala Omwana wabulenzi, olimutuuma erinnya Yesu, (amakulu nti, ‘Omulokozi’) kubanga y’alirokola abantu bonna mu bibi byabwe.”
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Bino byonna byabaawo kisobole okutuukirira ekyayogerwa Mukama ng’ayita mu nnabbi we ng’agamba nti,
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 “Laba omuwala atamanyi musajja aliba olubuto, alizaala omwana wabulenzi, era aliyitibwa Emmanweri.” Amakulu gaalyo nti, “Katonda ali naffe.”
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 bwe yazuukuka, n’akola nga Malayika bwe yamulagira, n’atwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi we.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 Naye Yusufu n’atamumanya okutuusa lwe yamala okuzaala Omwana. Yusufu n’amutuuma erinnya Yesu.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
