and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
10 Hiskia ba ne Manase, Manase ba ne Amon; Amon nso ba ne Yosia.
and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
11 Yosia woo Yekonia ne ne nuanom. Wɔwoo wɔn ɛberɛ a na Yudafoɔ te nnommum mu wɔ Babilon no.
and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 Wɔn a wɔfiri Babilon nnommum mu baeɛ no akyi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nie: Yekonia woo Sealtiel; Sealtiel woo Serubabel.
And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13 Serubabel woo Abihud; Abihud woo Eliakim; Eliakim nso woo Asor.
and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,

and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
16 Yakob woo Yosef a ɔwaree Maria no. Saa Maria yi na ɔwoo Yesu Kristo.
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
17 Awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛfiri Abraham so de bɛsi Ɔhene Dawid so yɛ dunan. Ɛfiri Ɔhene Dawid so de bɛsi ɛberɛ a wɔfaa ɔman no nnommum kɔɔ Babilon no nso awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ yɛ dunan saa ara. Saa ara nso na ɛfiri ɛberɛ a wɔtu firii Babilon sane baa wɔn ɔman mu bio no de bɛsi Kristo awoɔ so nso yɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ dunan.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Sɛdeɛ Yesu Kristo awoɔ ho nsɛm teɛ nie: Wɔde ne maame Maria maa Yosef sɛ ɔnware no, nanso ansa na wɔbɛhyiam sɛ awarefoɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ wanyinsɛn deɛ ɛfiri Honhom Kronkron.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Ɛbaa saa no, ne kunu Yosef a ɔdi ne ho ni no ampɛ sɛ ɔbɛgu Maria anim ase enti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛgyaa no awadeɛ kɔkoam.
And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 Ɛberɛ a asɛm no ayɛ Yosef dadwene no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ bɛyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no daeɛ mu. Ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yosef, Dawid aseni, nnyae Maria awadeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, ne nyinsɛn no firi Honhom Kronkron.
But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Ɔbɛwo ɔbarima na wɔato no edin Yesu, aseɛ ne Agyenkwa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔbɛgye ne nkurɔfoɔ nkwa afiri wɔn bɔne mu.”
And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Yei nyinaa baa mu de hyɛɛ deɛ Awurade nam odiyifoɔ no so kaeɛ no ma sɛ:
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Ɔbaabunu no bɛnyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔato no edin Immanuel” a aseɛ ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.”
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 Ɛberɛ a Yosef nyaneeɛ no, ɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɔfoɔ no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Enti ɔkɔfaa Maria baa ne fie ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere.
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Yosef ne Maria anhyia da kɔsii sɛ Maria woo ɔbabarima maa Yosef too ne din “Yesu.”
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
