Mathayo 1
1 Kitabu cha ukoo wa Yesu Kristo mwana wa Daudi, mwana wa Ibrahimu.
The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ, —Son of David, Son of Abraham.
2 Ibrahimu alikuwa baba wa Isaka, na Isaka baba wa Yakobo, na Yakobo baba wa Yuda na ndugu zake.
Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob, begat Judah and his brethren;
3 Yuda alikuwa baba wa Peresi na Sera kwa Tamari, Peresi baba wa Hezeroni, na Hezeroni baba wa Ramu.
And Judah begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram;
4 Ramu alikuwa baba wa Aminadabu, Aminadabu baba wa Nashoni, na Nashoni baba wa Salimoni.
And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon begat Salmon;
5 Salimoni alikuwa baba wa Boazi kwa Rahabu, Boazi baba wa Obedi kwa Ruth, Obedi baba wa Yese,
And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse;
6 Yese alikuwa baba wa mfalme Daudi. Daudi alikuwa baba wa Sulemani kwa mke wa Uria.
And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
7 Sulemani alikuwa baba wa Rehoboamu, Rehoboamu baba wa Abiya, Abiya baba wa Asa.
And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa;
8 Asa alikuwa baba wa Yehoshafati, Yehoshafati baba wa Yoramu, na Yoramu baba wa Uzia.
And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah;
9 Uzia alikuwa baba wa Yothamu, Yothamu baba wa Ahazi, Ahazi baba wa Hezekia.
And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah:
10 Hezekia alikuwa baba wa Manase, Manase baba wa Amoni na Amoni baba wa Yosia.
And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah;
11 Yosia alikuwa baba wa Yekonia na kaka zake wakati wa kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli.
And Josiah begat Jechoniah, and his brethren, —upon the removal to Babylon.
12 Na baada ya kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli, Yekonia alikuwa baba wa Shatieli, Shatieli alikuwa babu yake na Zerubabeli.
And, after the removal to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
13 Zerubabeli alikuwa baba wa Abiudi, Abiudi baba wa Eliakimu, na Eliakimu baba wa Azori.
And Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 Azori alikuwa baba wa Zadoki, Zadoki baba wa Akimu, na Akimu baba wa Eliudi.
And Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud;
15 Eliudi alikuwa baba wa Elieza, Elieza baba wa Matani na Matani baba wa Yakobo.
And Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob; —
16 Yakobo alikuwa baba wa Yusufu mume wa Mariamu, ambaye kwa yeye Yesu alizaliwa, aitwaye Kristo.
And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, —who is called Christ.
17 Vizazi vyote tangu Ibrahimu hadi Daudi vilikuwa vizazi kumi na vinne, kutoka Daudi hadi kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli vizazi kumi na vinne, na kutoka kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli hadi Kristo vizazi kumi na vinne.
So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.
18 Kuzaliwa kwa Yesu Kristo kulikuwa kwa namna hii. Mama yake, Mariamu, alichumbiwa na Yusufu, lakini kabla hawajakutana, alionekana kuwa na mimba kwa uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu.
Now the birth, of [Jesus] Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, —before they came together, she was found with child by [the] Holy Spirit.
19 Mume wake Yusufu, alikuwa mtu mwenye haki hakutaka kumwaibisha hadharani. Aliamua kusitisha uchumba wake naye kwa siri.
Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her, —intended, privately, to divorce her.
20 Alipokuwa akifikiri juu ya mambo haya, Malaika wa Bwana alimtokea katika ndoto, akisema,'' Yusufu mwana wa Daudi, usiogope kumchukua Mariamu kama mkeo, kwa sababu mimba aliyonayo ni kwa uweza wa Roho Mtakatifu.
But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, —Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of [the], Holy, Spirit.
21 Atajifungua mtoto wa kiume na utamwita jina lake Yesu, kwa maana atawaokoa watu wake na dhambi zao.''
Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, —for, he, will save his people from their sins.
22 Yote haya yalitokea kutimizwa kile kilichonenwa na Bwana kwa njia ya nabii, akisema,
But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:
23 “Tazama, bikira atachukua mimba na kuzaa mtoto wa kiume, na watamwita jina lake Imanueli”— maana yake, “Mungu pamoja nasi.”
Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, —and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.
24 Yusufu aliamka kutoka usingizini na kufanya kama malaika wa Bwana alivyomwamuru na alimchukua kama mkewe.
And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, —and took unto him his wife;
25 Hata hivyo, hakulala naye mpaka alipojifungua mtoto wa kiume na alimwita jina lake Yesu.
and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, —and he called his name Jesus.
