Mathayo 1
1 Habari za ukoo wa Yesu Kristo mwana wa Daudi, mwana wa Abrahamu:
The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abrahamu akamzaa Isaki, Isaki akamzaa Yakobo, Yakobo akawazaa Yuda na ndugu zake,
The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
3 Yuda akawazaa Peresi na Zera, ambao mama yao alikuwa Tamari, Peresi akamzaa Hesroni, Hesroni akamzaa Aramu,
And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
4 Aramu akamzaa Aminadabu, Aminadabu akamzaa Nashoni, Nashoni akamzaa Salmoni,
And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
5 Salmoni akamzaa Boazi, na mama yake Boazi alikuwa Rahabu, Boazi akamzaa Obedi, ambaye mama yake alikuwa Ruthu, Obedi akamzaa Yese,
And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
6 Yese akamzaa Daudi ambaye alikuwa mfalme. Daudi akamzaa Solomoni, ambaye mama yake ni yule aliyekuwa mke wa Uria.
And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 Solomoni akamzaa Rehoboamu, Rehoboamu akamzaa Abiya, Abiya akamzaa Asa,
And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
8 Asa akamzaa Yehoshafati, Yehoshafati akamzaa Yoramu, Yoramu akamzaa Uzia,
And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
9 Uzia akamzaa Yothamu, Yothamu akamzaa Ahazi, Ahazi akamzaa Hezekia,
And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
10 Hezekia akamzaa Manase, Manase akamzaa Amoni, Amoni akamzaa Yosia,
And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
11 wakati wa uhamisho wa Babeli, Yosia alimzaa Yekonia na ndugu zake.
And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
12 Baada ya uhamisho wa Babeli: Yekonia alimzaa Shealtieli, Shealtieli akamzaa Zerubabeli,
And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
13 Zerubabeli akamzaa Abiudi, Abiudi akamzaa Eliakimu, Eliakimu akamzaa Azori,
And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
14 Azori akamzaa Sadoki, Sadoki akamzaa Akimu, Akimu akamzaa Eliudi,
And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
15 Eliudi akamzaa Eleazari, Eleazari akamzaa Matani, Matani akamzaa Yakobo,
And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
16 naye Yakobo akamzaa Yosefu ambaye alikuwa mumewe Maria, mama yake Yesu, aitwaye Kristo.
And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
17 Hivyo, kulikuwepo na jumla ya vizazi kumi na vinne tangu Abrahamu mpaka Daudi, vizazi kumi na vinne tangu Daudi hadi wakati wa uhamisho kwenda utumwani Babeli, na vizazi kumi na vinne tangu wakati wa uhamisho kwenda utumwani Babeli hadi Kristo.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Basi Kuzaliwa kwake Yesu Kristo kulikuwa hivi: Maria mama yake alikuwa ameposwa na Yosefu, lakini kabla hawajakutana kimwili, Maria alionekana kuwa na mimba kwa uweza wa Roho Mtakatifu.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Kwa kuwa Yosefu, mwanaume aliyekuwa amemposa alikuwa mtu mwadilifu, hakutaka kumwaibisha Maria hadharani, aliazimu kumwacha kwa siri.
And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
20 Lakini mara alipoazimu kufanya jambo hili, malaika wa Bwana akamtokea katika ndoto na kusema, “Yosefu mwana wa Daudi, usiogope kumchukua Maria awe mke wako, kwa maana mimba aliyo nayo ni kwa uweza wa Roho Mtakatifu.
But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Naye atamzaa mwana, nawe utamwita Jina lake Yesu, kwa maana yeye ndiye atakayewaokoa watu wake kutoka dhambi zao.”
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
22 Haya yote yalitukia ili litimie lile Bwana alilokuwa amenena kupitia nabii, akisema:
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23 “Tazama, bikira atachukua mimba, naye atamzaa mwana, nao watamwita Jina lake Imanueli”: maana yake, “Mungu pamoja nasi.”
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
24 Yosefu alipoamka kutoka usingizini, akafanya kama vile alivyoagizwa na malaika wa Bwana, akamchukua Maria kuwa mke wake.
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
25 Lakini hawakukutana kimwili mpaka Maria alipojifungua mwanawe kifungua mimba akamwita Jina lake Yesu.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
