11 Yosiya n’azaala Yekoniya ne baganda be mu kiseera eky’okutwalibwa e Babulooni.

12 Nga bamaze okutwalibwa e Babulooni: Yekoniya n’azaala Seyalutyeri, Seyalutyeri n’azaala Zerubbaberi.
And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13 Zerubbaberi n’azaala Abiwuudi, Abiwuudi n’azaala Eriyakimu, Eriyakimu n’azaala Azoli.

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 to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Christ, 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 happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from 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.
And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away 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 when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is 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 bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for 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 has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Laba omuwala atamanyi musajja aliba olubuto, alizaala omwana wabulenzi, era aliyitibwa Emmanweri.” Amakulu gaalyo nti, “Katonda ali naffe.”
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 Yusufu bwe yazuukuka, n’akola nga Malayika bwe yamulagira, n’atwala Maliyamu okuba mukazi we.
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Naye Yusufu n’atamumanya okutuusa lwe yamala okuzaala Omwana. Yusufu n’amutuuma erinnya Yesu.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
