Mathayo 1
1 Kitabu cha ukoo wa Yesu Kristo mwana wa Daudi, mwana wa Ibrahimu.
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the 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;

And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz 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 the king 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 Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 Asa alikuwa baba wa Yehoshafati, Yehoshafati baba wa Yoramu, na Yoramu baba wa Uzia.
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 Uzia alikuwa baba wa Yothamu, Yothamu baba wa Ahazi, Ahazi baba wa Hezekia.
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 Hezekia alikuwa baba wa Manase, Manase baba wa Amoni na Amoni baba wa Yosia.
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 Yosia alikuwa baba wa Yekonia na kaka zake wakati wa kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Na baada ya kuchukuliwa kwenda Babeli, Yekonia alikuwa baba wa Shatieli, Shatieli alikuwa babu yake na Zerubabeli.
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 Zerubabeli alikuwa baba wa Abiudi, Abiudi baba wa Eliakimu, na Eliakimu baba wa Azori.
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

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 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 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 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 Mume wake Yusufu, alikuwa mtu mwenye haki hakutaka kumwaibisha hadharani. Aliamua kusitisha uchumba wake naye 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 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 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 Atajifungua mtoto wa kiume na utamwita jina lake Yesu, kwa maana atawaokoa watu wake na 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 Yote haya yalitokea kutimizwa kile kilichonenwa na Bwana kwa njia ya 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 na kuzaa mtoto wa kiume, na 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 Yusufu aliamka kutoka usingizini na kufanya kama malaika wa Bwana alivyomwamuru na alimchukua kama mkewe.
Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
25 Hata hivyo, hakulala naye mpaka alipojifungua mtoto wa kiume na alimwita jina lake Yesu.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS.
