Mathayo 1
1 Habari za ukoo wa Yesu Kristo mwana wa Daudi, mwana wa Abrahamu:
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abrahamu akamzaa Isaki, Isaki akamzaa Yakobo, Yakobo akawazaa Yuda na ndugu zake,
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
3 Yuda akawazaa Peresi na Zera, ambao mama yao alikuwa Tamari, Peresi akamzaa Hesroni, Hesroni akamzaa Aramu,
and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;
4 Aramu akamzaa Aminadabu, Aminadabu akamzaa Nashoni, Nashoni akamzaa Salmoni,
and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
5 Salmoni akamzaa Boazi, na mama yake Boazi alikuwa Rahabu, Boazi akamzaa Obedi, ambaye mama yake alikuwa Ruthu, Obedi akamzaa Yese,
and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 Yese akamzaa Daudi ambaye alikuwa mfalme. Daudi akamzaa Solomoni, ambaye mama yake ni yule aliyekuwa mke wa Uria.
and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
7 Solomoni akamzaa Rehoboamu, Rehoboamu akamzaa Abiya, Abiya akamzaa Asa,
and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
8 Asa akamzaa Yehoshafati, Yehoshafati akamzaa Yoramu, Yoramu akamzaa Uzia,
and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
9 Uzia akamzaa Yothamu, Yothamu akamzaa Ahazi, Ahazi akamzaa Hezekia,
and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
10 Hezekia akamzaa Manase, Manase akamzaa Amoni, Amoni akamzaa Yosia,
and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
11 wakati wa uhamisho wa Babeli, Yosia alimzaa Yekonia na ndugu zake.
and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.
12 Baada ya uhamisho wa Babeli: Yekonia alimzaa Shealtieli, Shealtieli akamzaa Zerubabeli,
And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
13 Zerubabeli akamzaa Abiudi, Abiudi akamzaa Eliakimu, Eliakimu akamzaa Azori,
and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 Azori akamzaa Sadoki, Sadoki akamzaa Akimu, Akimu akamzaa Eliudi,
and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 Eliudi akamzaa Eleazari, Eleazari akamzaa Matani, Matani akamzaa Yakobo,
and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 naye Yakobo akamzaa Yosefu ambaye alikuwa mumewe Maria, mama yake Yesu, aitwaye Kristo.
and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born 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 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 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 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 Kwa kuwa Yosefu, mwanaume aliyekuwa amemposa alikuwa mtu mwadilifu, hakutaka kumwaibisha Maria hadharani, aliazimu kumwacha kwa siri.
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 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 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 Naye atamzaa mwana, nawe utamwita Jina lake Yesu, kwa maana yeye ndiye atakayewaokoa watu wake kutoka dhambi zao.”
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 Haya yote yalitukia ili litimie lile Bwana alilokuwa amenena kupitia nabii, akisema:
Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Tazama, bikira atachukua mimba, naye atamzaa mwana, nao watamwita Jina lake Imanueli”: maana yake, “Mungu pamoja nasi.”
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 Yosefu alipoamka kutoka usingizini, akafanya kama vile alivyoagizwa na malaika wa Bwana, akamchukua Maria kuwa mke wake.
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
25 Lakini hawakukutana kimwili mpaka Maria alipojifungua mwanawe kifungua mimba akamwita Jina lake Yesu.
and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
