1 Chenichi ndi chitabu cha lukolo lwa Yesu Kilisitu mweavi chiveleku cha Daudi wa chiveleku cha Ibulahimu.
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
2 Ibulahimu amveliki Izaki, Izaki amveliki Yakobo, Yakobo amveliki Yuda na valongo vaki,

11 Yosia amveliki Yekonia na valongo vaki. Lwenulo ndi lwavi lukumbi lwa Vayawudi pavapelikwi kuluhamilu ku Babeli.
And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon.
12 Lukumbi Vayawudi pevavi kuluhamilu ku Babeli, Yekonia amveliki Shealitieli, Shealitieli amveliki Zelubabeli,
And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias begot Salathiel. And Salathiel begot Zorobabel.

16 Yakobo amveliki Yosefu, mngwana wa Maliya, nyina waki Yesu mweikemiwa Kilisitu.
And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Kwavi na viveleku kumi na mcheche kuhuma Ibulahimu mbaka Daudi, vivelekelu kumi na mcheche kuhuma Daudi mbaka Vayawudi pavatoliwi uvanda wa ku Babeli, viveleku kumi na mcheche kuhuma uvanda mbaka kuvelekewa kwa Kilisitu.
So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Chenichi ndi cheavelekiwi Yesu Kilisitu. Maliya nyina wa Yesu, achumbiwi na Yosefu. Nambu vakona vangatama ngati mngwana na mdala, Maliya apatili kuvya na ndumbu kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
Now the generation of Christ was in 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 Ndava Yosefu mngwana wa Maliya avi mundu mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga aganili lepi kumpela soni pavandu ndi aholalili kumleka chamfiyu.
Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
20 Peavi akona ihololela lijambu lenilo, Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga amuhumali munjozi na kumjovela, “Yosefu, mwana wa Daudi, ukotoka kuyogopa kumtola Maliya avya mdala waku, muni ndumbu yeavinayu apatili kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, 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 Yati iveleka mwana mgosi hinu veve yati ukumpela liina Yesu ndava mwenuyu yati akuvasangula vandu kuhuma kumbudila Chapanga wavi.”
And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Mambu goha ago gahumalili muni kutimilisa malovi ga Bambu geajovili munjila ya mlota wa Chapanga,
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
23 “Yuwanila! Kamwali yati ivya na ndumbu, yati iveleka mwana mgosi, na veve yati ukumpela liina Emanueli.” Mana yaki “Chapanga avi pamonga na tete.”
Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Ndi Yosefu peayumwiki mulugono akitili ngati mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga cheamjovili, akamtola mdala waki na kuhamba nayu kunyumba yaki.
And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
25 Nambu agonili nayu lepi mbaka Maliya peamveliki mwana mgosi, namwene Yosefu ampeli liina Yesu.
And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
