5 Salumooni yazaala Bowaazi mu Lakabu, Bowaazi n’azaala Obedi mu Luusi. Obedi n’azaala Yese.
then Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, then Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, then Obed begot Jesse,
6 Yese yazaala Kabaka Dawudi. Dawudi n’azaala Sulemaani mu eyali muka Uliya.
then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah,
7 Sulemaani yazaala Lekobowaamu, Lekobowaamu n’azaala Abiya, Abiya n’azaala Asa.
then Solomon begot Rehoboam, then Rehoboam begot Abijah, then Abijah begot Asa;
8 Asa n’azaala Yekosafaati, Yekosafaati n’azaala Yolaamu, Yolaamu n’azaala Uzziya.
then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah;
9 Uzziya n’azaala Yosamu, Yosamu n’azaala Akazi, Akazi n’azaala Keezeekiya.
then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah;
10 Keezeekiya n’azaala Manaase, Manaase n’azaala Amosi, Amosi n’azaala Yosiya.
then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah;
11 Yosiya n’azaala Yekoniya ne baganda be mu kiseera eky’okutwalibwa e Babulooni.
then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.
12 Nga bamaze okutwalibwa e Babulooni: Yekoniya n’azaala Seyalutyeri, Seyalutyeri n’azaala Zerubbaberi.
After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;
13 Zerubbaberi n’azaala Abiwuudi, Abiwuudi n’azaala Eriyakimu, Eriyakimu n’azaala Azoli.
then Zerubbabel begot Abiud, then Abiud begot Eliakim, then Eliakim begot Azor;

then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob;
16 Yakobo n’azaala Yusufu, oyo ye bba wa Maliyamu eyazaala Yesu ayitibwa Kristo.
then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten 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 Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the 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 like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
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 wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
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 pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Era alizaala Omwana wabulenzi, olimutuuma erinnya Yesu, (amakulu nti, ‘Omulokozi’) kubanga y’alirokola abantu bonna mu bibi byabwe.”
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will 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 happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 “Laba omuwala atamanyi musajja aliba olubuto, alizaala omwana wabulenzi, era aliyitibwa Emmanweri.” Amakulu gaalyo nti, “Katonda ali naffe.”
“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.
24 Yusufu bwe yazuukuka, n’akola nga Malayika bwe yamulagira, n’atwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi we.
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 Naye Yusufu n’atamumanya okutuusa lwe yamala okuzaala Omwana. Yusufu n’amutuuma erinnya Yesu.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
