Matei 1
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,
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
3 Yuda amveliki Pelisi na Zela, nyina wavi avili Tamali, Felikisi amveliki Heziloni, Heziloni amveliki Lami,

5 Solomoni na Lahabu vamveliki Boazi, Boazi na Lutu vamveliki Obedi, Obedi amveliki Yese,
and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 mwene Yese amveliki Nkosi Daudi. Daudi amveliki Solomoni, nyina waki avi mdala wa Uliya,
and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
7 Solomoni amveliki Lehobohamu, Lehobohamu amveliki Abiya, Abiya amveliki Asa,
and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
8 Asa amveliki Yeoshafati, Yeoshafati amveliki Yolamu, Yolamu amveliki Uzia,
and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
9 Uzia amveliki Yotamu, Yotamu amveliki Ahazi, Ahazi amveliki Hezekia,
and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
10 Hezekia amveliki Menasi, Menasi amveliki Amoni, Amoni amveliki Yosia,
and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
11 Yosia amveliki Yekonia na valongo vaki. Lwenulo ndi lwavi lukumbi lwa Vayawudi pavapelikwi kuluhamilu ku Babeli.
and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.
12 Lukumbi Vayawudi pevavi kuluhamilu ku Babeli, Yekonia amveliki Shealitieli, Shealitieli amveliki Zelubabeli,
And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
13 Zelubabeli amveliki Abiudi, Abiudi amveliki Eliakimu, Eliakimu amveliki Azoli,
and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 Azoli amveliki Zadoki, Zadoki amveliki Akimu, Akimu amveliki Eliudi,
and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 Eliudi amveliki Eleazali, Eleazali amveliki Matani, Matani amveliki Yakobo.
and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 Yakobo amveliki Yosefu, mngwana wa Maliya, nyina waki Yesu mweikemiwa Kilisitu.
and Jacob begat 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 unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ 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 birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed 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.
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
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 when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou 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 it is he that 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 is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through 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, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, 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 arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
25 Nambu agonili nayu lepi mbaka Maliya peamveliki mwana mgosi, namwene Yosefu ampeli liina Yesu.
and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
