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.
A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
2 A Bhulaimu gubhankwete Ishaka, a Ishaka gubhankwete Yakobho, a Yakobho gubhankwete Yuda na ashaakulugwe na ashaapwakwe,
Abraham begot Isaac, then Isaac begot Jacob, then Jacob begot Judah and his brothers;
3 a Yuda gubhankwete Peleshi naka Shela anyinabhabhonji pubhashemwaga a Tamali, a Peleshi gubhankwete Eshiloni, a Eshiloni gubhankwete Lami.
then Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, then Perez begot Hezron, then Hezron begot Ram;
4 A Lami gubhankwete Aminadabhu. A Aminadabhu gubhankwete Nashoni, a Nashoni gubhankwete Shalomoni.
then Ram begot Amminadab, then Amminadab begot Nahshon, then Nahshon begot Salmon;
5 A Shalomoni gubhankwete Bhoashi, akwabhe Bhoashi pubhashemwaga a Laabhu, a Bhoashi gubhankwete Obhedi kwa akongobhabho a Luti, a Obhedi gubhankwete Yeshe,
then Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, then Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, then Obed begot Jesse,
6 Nabhalabho a Yeshe gubhankwete Mpalume Daudi. A Daudi gubhankwete Shelemani ku bhakongwe bhaliji akongobhabho a Ulia bhukala.
then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah,
7 A Shelemani gubhankwete Leobhoamu, a Leobhoamu gubhankwete Abhiya, a Abhiya gubhankwete Ashapu,
then Solomon begot Rehoboam, then Rehoboam begot Abijah, then Abijah begot Asa;
8 A Ashapu gubhankwete Yoshepati, a Yoshepati gubhankwete Yolamu, a Yolamu gubhankwete Ushiya,
then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah;
9 a Ushiya gubhankwete Yoshamu, a Yoshamu gubhankwete Ashi, a Ashi gubhankwete Eshekia,
then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah;
10 a Eshekia gubhankwete Manashe, a Manashe gubhankwete Amoni, a Amoni gubhankwete Yoshiya,
then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah;
11 a Yoshiya gubhankwete Yekoniya na ashaapwakwe, mobha Bhayaudi gubhapelekwenje ku Bhabhuloni.
then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.
12 Bhayaudi bhakapelekwanjeje ku Bhabhuloni, a Yekoniya gubhankwete Sheatieli, a Sheatieli gubhankwete Shelubhabheli,
After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;
13 a Shelubhabheli gubhankwete Abhiudi, a Abhiudi gubhankwete Eliakimu, a Eliakimu gubhankwete Asholi,
then Zerubbabel begot Abiud, then Abiud begot Eliakim, then Eliakim begot Azor;
14 A Asholi gubhankwete Shadoki, a Shadoki gubhankwete Akimu, a Akimu gubhankwete Eliudi,
then Azor begot Zadok, then Zadok begot Achim, then Achim begot Eliud;
15 a Eliudi gubhankwete Eliashali, a Eliashali gubhankwete Matani, a Matani gubhankwete Yakobho,
then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob;
16 a Yakobho gubhaakwete a Yoshepu bhaaliji ambujebhabho a Malia, anyinabhabho a Yeshu bhaashemwa a Kilishitu.
then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called Christ.
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 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 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.
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 Pabha a Yoshepu bhashinkubha bhanguja bhakapinjileje kutokomaya ntemela gwabho, kwa nneyo gubhapinjile kwaaleka kwa nng'iyo.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
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.
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 Shibhakole mwana jwannume, shimunsheme lina lyakwe Yeshu, pabha jwenejo apinga tapula bhandu bhakwe na yambi yabhonji.”
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 Genego gashinkukoposhela nkupinga limalile lilobhe libhalugwile Bhakulungwa kuka nkulondola jwabho,
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 “Nng'ishana shakole shitumbo, shankole mwana jwannume, shibhanshemanje lina lyakwe Manueli,” malombolelo gakwe, “A Nnungu pamo na uwe”.
“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 Kwa nneyo, a Yoshepu bhakajumusheje gubhatendile malinga shibhalugulilwe naka malaika jula, gubhaatolile a Malia kubha akongobhabho.
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 Bhakaamanyiji akongobhabho a Malia mpaka bhakankoleje mwana jwannume. Na a Yoshepu gubhanshemile lina lyakwe, Yeshu.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
