A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
2 Abrahamu akamzaa Isaki, Isaki akamzaa Yakobo, Yakobo akawazaa Yuda na ndugu zake,
Abraham begot Isaac, then Isaac begot Jacob, then Jacob begot Judah and his brothers;
3 Yuda akawazaa Peresi na Zera, ambao mama yao alikuwa Tamari, Peresi akamzaa Hesroni, Hesroni akamzaa Aramu,
then Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, then Perez begot Hezron, then Hezron begot Ram;
4 Aramu akamzaa Aminadabu, Aminadabu akamzaa Nashoni, Nashoni akamzaa Salmoni,
then Ram begot Amminadab, then Amminadab begot Nahshon, then Nahshon begot Salmon;
5 Salmoni akamzaa Boazi, na mama yake Boazi alikuwa Rahabu, Boazi akamzaa Obedi, ambaye mama yake alikuwa Ruthu, Obedi akamzaa Yese,
then Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, then Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, then Obed begot Jesse,
6 Yese akamzaa Daudi ambaye alikuwa mfalme. Daudi akamzaa Solomoni, ambaye mama yake ni yule aliyekuwa mke wa Uria.
then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah,
7 Solomoni akamzaa Rehoboamu, Rehoboamu akamzaa Abiya, Abiya akamzaa Asa,
then Solomon begot Rehoboam, then Rehoboam begot Abijah, then Abijah begot Asa;
8 Asa akamzaa Yehoshafati, Yehoshafati akamzaa Yoramu, Yoramu akamzaa Uzia,
then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah;
9 Uzia akamzaa Yothamu, Yothamu akamzaa Ahazi, Ahazi akamzaa Hezekia,
then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah;
10 Hezekia akamzaa Manase, Manase akamzaa Amoni, Amoni akamzaa Yosia,
then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah;
11 wakati wa uhamisho wa Babeli, Yosia alimzaa Yekonia na ndugu zake.
then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.
12 Baada ya uhamisho wa Babeli: Yekonia alimzaa Shealtieli, Shealtieli akamzaa Zerubabeli,
After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;
13 Zerubabeli akamzaa Abiudi, Abiudi akamzaa Eliakimu, Eliakimu akamzaa Azori,
then Zerubbabel begot Abiud, then Abiud begot Eliakim, then Eliakim begot Azor;
14 Azori akamzaa Sadoki, Sadoki akamzaa Akimu, Akimu akamzaa Eliudi,
then Azor begot Zadok, then Zadok begot Achim, then Achim begot Eliud;
15 Eliudi akamzaa Eleazari, Eleazari akamzaa Matani, Matani akamzaa Yakobo,
then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob;
16 naye Yakobo akamzaa Yosefu ambaye alikuwa mumewe Maria, mama yake Yesu, aitwaye Kristo.
then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called 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 until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are 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 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 Kwa kuwa Yosefu, mwanaume aliyekuwa amemposa alikuwa mtu mwadilifu, hakutaka kumwaibisha Maria hadharani, aliazimu kumwacha kwa siri.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
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 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 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 call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Haya yote yalitukia ili litimie lile Bwana alilokuwa amenena kupitia nabii, akisema:
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 “Tazama, bikira atachukua mimba, naye atamzaa mwana, nao watamwita Jina lake Imanueli”: maana yake, “Mungu pamoja nasi.”
“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 Yosefu alipoamka kutoka usingizini, akafanya kama vile alivyoagizwa na malaika wa Bwana, akamchukua Maria kuwa mke wake.
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 Lakini hawakukutana kimwili mpaka Maria alipojifungua mwanawe kifungua mimba akamwita Jina lake Yesu.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
