11 na Yosiya kamwiwuliti Yekoniya na walongu wakuwi. Ashi shiweriti shipindi Wayawudi pawawajegiti kugenda muluhamiru Babiloni.
And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon.

16 Yakobu kamwiwuliti Yosefu, mpalu gwa Mariya mawu gwakuwi Yesu yawamshema Kristu.
And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Su kuweriti na nyiwuku lilongu na msheshi kwanjira Aburahamu mpaka Dawudi na nyiwuku lilongu na msheshi kwanjira Dawudi mpaka Wayawudi pawawalopoliti kugenda Babiloni na nyiwuku lilongu na msheshi kwanjira pawawatoliti lopola mpaka shipindi sha Kristu.
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 Hangu ndo Yesu Kristu ntambu yakiwukiti, Mariya mawu gwakuwi Yesu kaweriti kahetitwi na Yosefu. Kumbiti pamberi pa kulikala pamuhera gambira mpalu na mdala, kawonikaniti kana yinda kwa uwezu wa Rohu Mnanagala.
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 Yosefu mpalu gwakuwi kaweriti kamfiriziya Mlungu, kafiriti ndiri kumlanguziya kwa wantu kuwera kana vidoda, Hangu kafiriti kumleka kwa bada.
Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
20 Pakaweriti kankali kankulihola hangu, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamulawira mukulota na kumgambira, “Yosefu mwana gwa Dawudi, nagutira kumtola Mariya kaweri mdala gwaku. Mana kana yinda kwa uwezu wa Rohu Mnanagala.
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 Hakamwiwuli mwana mpalu, nagwenga hagumshemi Yesu, toziya yomberi ndo hakawalopoziyi wantu kulawa muvidoda vyawu.”
And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Vinu, vyoseri avi vilawira su viweri nakaka visoweru vyakatakuliti Mtuwa kupitira mbuyi gwa Mlungu,
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
23 “Mwali hakaweri na yinda, hakamwiwuli mwana mpalu na womberi hawamshemi litawu lyakuwi Imanuweri.” Mana yakuwi, “Mlungu kapamuhera na twenga”.
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 Su, Yosefu pakimkiti mumpota katenditi gambira vyakamgambiriti ulii ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa, kamtola mdala gwakuwi ukaya.
And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
25 Kumbiti Yosefu waliwoniti ndiri na Mariya mpaka pakamwiwuliti mwana mpalu. Yosefu kamupananiti mwana litawu Yesu.
And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
