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 Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4 Aramu akamzaa Aminadabu, Aminadabu akamzaa Nashoni, Nashoni akamzaa Salmoni,
And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson 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 Booz of Rachab; and Booz 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 the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
7 Solomoni akamzaa Rehoboamu, Rehoboamu akamzaa Abiya, Abiya akamzaa Asa,
And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 Asa akamzaa Yehoshafati, Yehoshafati akamzaa Yoramu, Yoramu akamzaa Uzia,
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 Uzia akamzaa Yothamu, Yothamu akamzaa Ahazi, Ahazi akamzaa Hezekia,
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 Hezekia akamzaa Manase, Manase akamzaa Amoni, Amoni akamzaa Yosia,
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 wakati wa uhamisho wa Babeli, Yosia alimzaa Yekonia na ndugu zake.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Baada ya uhamisho wa Babeli: Yekonia alimzaa Shealtieli, Shealtieli akamzaa Zerubabeli,
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 Zerubabeli akamzaa Abiudi, Abiudi akamzaa Eliakimu, Eliakimu akamzaa Azori,
And Zorobabel 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 to David [are] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon [are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to 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 in this manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child 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 willing to make her a public example, purposed 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 while he thought on these things, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
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 he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Haya yote yalitukia ili litimie lile Bwana alilokuwa amenena kupitia nabii, akisema:
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 “Tazama, bikira atachukua mimba, naye atamzaa mwana, nao watamwita Jina lake Imanueli”: maana yake, “Mungu pamoja nasi.”
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted 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 raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to 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 her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS.
