Matei 1
1 Sheshino ni shitabhu sha nndondonga gwa mena gwa lubheleko lwa a Yeshu Kilishitu bha ulongo gwa a Daudi, bha ulongo gwa a Bhulaimu, puyaaliji nnei.
This book is the record of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham, beginning with the family line:
2 A Bhulaimu gubhankwete Ishaka, a Ishaka gubhankwete Yakobho, a Yakobho gubhankwete Yuda na ashaakulugwe na ashaapwakwe,
Abraham was the father of Isaac; and Isaac the father of Jacob; and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers;
3 a Yuda gubhankwete Peleshi naka Shela anyinabhabhonji pubhashemwaga a Tamali, a Peleshi gubhankwete Eshiloni, a Eshiloni gubhankwete Lami.
and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah (their mother was Tamar); and Perez the father of Hezron; and Hezron the father of Ram;
4 A Lami gubhankwete Aminadabhu. A Aminadabhu gubhankwete Nashoni, a Nashoni gubhankwete Shalomoni.
and Ram the father of Amminadab; and Amminadab the father of Nahshon; and Nahshon the father of Salmon;
5 A Shalomoni gubhankwete Bhoashi, akwabhe Bhoashi pubhashemwaga a Laabhu, a Bhoashi gubhankwete Obhedi kwa akongobhabho a Luti, a Obhedi gubhankwete Yeshe,
and Salmon the father of Boaz (his mother was Rahab); and Boaz the father of Obed (his mother was Ruth); and Obed the father of Jesse;
6 Nabhalabho a Yeshe gubhankwete Mpalume Daudi. A Daudi gubhankwete Shelemani ku bhakongwe bhaliji akongobhabho a Ulia bhukala.
and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon (his mother had been Uriah's wife);
7 A Shelemani gubhankwete Leobhoamu, a Leobhoamu gubhankwete Abhiya, a Abhiya gubhankwete Ashapu,
and Solomon the father of Rehoboam; and Rehoboam the father of Abijah; and Abijah the father of Asa;
8 A Ashapu gubhankwete Yoshepati, a Yoshepati gubhankwete Yolamu, a Yolamu gubhankwete Ushiya,
and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram; and Jehoram the father of Uzziah;
9 a Ushiya gubhankwete Yoshamu, a Yoshamu gubhankwete Ashi, a Ashi gubhankwete Eshekia,
and Uzziah the father of Jotham; and Jotham the father of Ahaz; and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
10 a Eshekia gubhankwete Manashe, a Manashe gubhankwete Amoni, a Amoni gubhankwete Yoshiya,
and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh; and Manasseh the father of Amon; and Amon the father of Josiah;
11 a Yoshiya gubhankwete Yekoniya na ashaapwakwe, mobha Bhayaudi gubhapelekwenje ku Bhabhuloni.
and Josiah the father of Jehoiachin and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 Bhayaudi bhakapelekwanjeje ku Bhabhuloni, a Yekoniya gubhankwete Sheatieli, a Sheatieli gubhankwete Shelubhabheli,
After the exile to Babylon, Jehoiachin was the father of Shealtiel; and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel;
13 a Shelubhabheli gubhankwete Abhiudi, a Abhiudi gubhankwete Eliakimu, a Eliakimu gubhankwete Asholi,
and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud; and Abiud the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim the father of Azor;
14 A Asholi gubhankwete Shadoki, a Shadoki gubhankwete Akimu, a Akimu gubhankwete Eliudi,
and Azor the father of Zadok; and Zadok the father of Akim; and Akim the father of Eliud;
15 a Eliudi gubhankwete Eliashali, a Eliashali gubhankwete Matani, a Matani gubhankwete Yakobho,
and Eliud the father of Eleazar; and Eleazar the father of Matthan; and Matthan the father of Jacob;
16 a Yakobho gubhaakwete a Yoshepu bhaaliji ambujebhabho a Malia, anyinabhabho a Yeshu bhaashemwa a Kilishitu.
and Jacob was the father of Joseph, who was the husband of Mary, to whom Jesus was born, the one who is called the Messiah.
17 Bhai puyaliji ibheleko likumi limo na nsheshe kutandubhila a Bhulaimu mpaka a Daudi na ibheleko likumi limo na nsheshe kutandubhila a Daudi mpaka pubhapelekwenje ku utumwa ku Bhabhuloni, na ibheleko likumi limo na nsheshe kutandubhila pubhapelekwenje ku utumwa ku Bhabhuloni mpaka pubhabhelekwe a Kilishitu.
So all the generations from Abraham to David add up to fourteen; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen; and from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah, fourteen.
18 Kubhelekwa kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu pukwaliji nnei, a Malia anyinabhabho a Yeshu, bhali muntemela na a Yoshepu, bhakanabhe gwabhala gubhaabhweni a Malia bhali na shitumbo kwa komboywa naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened. His mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, but before they slept together she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Pabha a Yoshepu bhashinkubha bhanguja bhakapinjileje kutokomaya ntemela gwabho, kwa nneyo gubhapinjile kwaaleka kwa nng'iyo.
Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and didn't want to shame her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement discreetly.
20 Bhali nkuganishiya genego, nnugono malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhakoposhele nng'agamii alinkuti, “A Yoshepu bha ulongo gwa a Daudi, nnajogope kwaatola a Malia bhabhe akongobhenu, pabha Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ni abhatendile bhabhe na shitumbo.
While he was thinking about all of this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him, “Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to marry Mary because she is pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
21 Shibhakole mwana jwannume, shimunsheme lina lyakwe Yeshu, pabha jwenejo apinga tapula bhandu bhakwe na yambi yabhonji.”
She will give birth to a son and you shall call him Jesus, for he will save people from their sins.”
22 Genego gashinkukoposhela nkupinga limalile lilobhe libhalugwile Bhakulungwa kuka nkulondola jwabho,
(Now this all happened to fulfill what the Lord said through the prophet:
23 “Nng'ishana shakole shitumbo, shankole mwana jwannume, shibhanshemanje lina lyakwe Manueli,” malombolelo gakwe, “A Nnungu pamo na uwe”.
“A virgin will become pregnant, and will give birth to a son. They will call him Immanuel,” which means “God with us.”)
24 Kwa nneyo, a Yoshepu bhakajumusheje gubhatendile malinga shibhalugulilwe naka malaika jula, gubhaatolile a Malia kubha akongobhabho.
Joseph woke up and did what the angel of the Lord told him to do.
25 Bhakaamanyiji akongobhabho a Malia mpaka bhakankoleje mwana jwannume. Na a Yoshepu gubhanshemile lina lyakwe, Yeshu.
Joseph married Mary, but did not sleep with her until after she had given birth to a son, whom he named Jesus.
