Matthew 1
1 Tala buididi kikhulu ki Yesu Klisto, muana wu Davidi, muana wu Abalahami:
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abalahami wubuta Isaki, Isaki wubuta Yakobi, Yakobi wubuta Yuda ayi bakhomba bandi.
Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
3 Yuda ayi nketo andi Tamali babuta Falesi ayi Zala; Falesi wubuta Heseloni, Heseloni wubuta Alami.
and Judah had Phares and Zara by Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom,
4 Alami wubuta Aminadabi; Aminadabi wubuta Nasoni; Nasoni wubuta Salimoni.
and Esrom begat Aram, and Aram begat Aminadab, and Aminadab begat Naasson, and Naasson begat Salmon,
5 Salimoni ayi nketo andi Lahabi babuta Bowazi; Bowazi ayi nketo andi Luti babuta Obedi;
and Salmon had Booz by Rahab, and Booz had Obed by Ruth,
6 Obedi wubuta Isayi; Izayi wubuta ntinu Davidi; ntinu Davidi wubuta Salomo mu nketo wuba wu Uli.
and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David the king, and David had Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.
7 Solomo wubuta Lobowami; Lobohami wubuta Abia; Abia wubuta Asa.
And Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat Abia,
8 Asa wubuta Zozafati; Zozafati wubuta Zolami bosi Zolami wubuta Oziasi;
and Abia begat Asa, and Asa begat Josaphat, and Josaphat begat Joram,
9 Oziasi wubuta Yotami; Yotami wubuta Akazi; bosi Akazi wubuta Ezekiasi.
and Joram begat Ozias, and Ozias begat Joatham, and Joatham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Ezechias,
10 Ezekiasi wubuta Manase; Manase wubuta Amoni bosi Amoni wubuta Zoziasi.
and Ezechias begat Manasses, and Manasses begat Amon,
11 Zoziasi wubuta Yekonia ayi bakhomba bandi; bawu babutuka bu banata bana ba Iseli mu buvika ku tsi Babiloni.
and Amon begat Josias, and Josias begat Jakim, and Jakim begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time of their being carried away to Babylon.
12 Buvika bu bumana ku Babiloni, Yekonia wubuta Salatieli; Salatieli wubuta Zolobabeli.
And after the captivity of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel,
13 Zolobabeli wubuta Abuidi; Abuidi wubuta Eliakimi; Eliakimi wubuta Azoli.
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel, and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
14 Azoli wubuta Sadoki; Sadoki wubuta Akimi; Akimi wubuta Eliudi.
and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat Achim,
15 Eliudi wubuta Eleyazali; Eleyazali wubuta Matani; Matani wubuta Yakobi.
and Achim begat Eliud, and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
16 Bosi Yakobi wubuta Zozefi wuba bakala di Maliya, ngudi yi Yesu wuba tedila Klisto.
and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
17 Diawu zitsungi zioso tona Abalahami nate Davidi zidi kumi zitsungi ziya. Tona Davidi nate thangu bana ba Iseli bayenda mu buvika ku Babiloni; vaba kumi zitsungi ziya; bosi tona thangu buvika nate Klisto vaba kumi zitsungi ziya.
All the generations therefore from Abraham to David are fourteen generations: and from David until the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations: and from the Babylonish captivity unto Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Tala phila yibutukila Yesu Klisto: Maliya ngudi andi; niandi wuba nketo wuzolo kuelo kuidi Zozefi. Buna katudidi ko va nzo dikuela Maliya wubaka buemba vayi mu Pheve Yinlongo kabakila buemba beni.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in wise: when Mary his mother was promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Ghost:
19 Zozefi, bakala diodi dizola kuela Maliya, wuba mutu wusonga, wumanga kuandi kumfuisa tsoni va meso ma batu; wubaka lukanu lu kumbotula mu kitsueki.
but Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was inclined to break off the contract with her privately;
20 Bu kaba ku tsi mayindu mu diambu di mambu beni; buna mbasi yi Pfumu yimmonikina mu ndozi, yinkamba: —A Zozefi, muana Davidi! Bika mona boma mu kuela nketo aku Maliya bila buemba buidi yandi mu Pheve Yinlongo kabakidi buawu.
and when he was thinking on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph thou Son of David, scruple not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Wela buta muana wubakala, dizina wela kumbieka Yesu: bila niandi wela kula batu bandi mu masumu mawu.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Mambu moso mama mavangama mu diambu di dedikisa mambu makamba Pfumu kuidi mbikudi ti:
(Now all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying,
23 Luwa, ndumba yikambu zaba bakala yela ba mu buemba, yela buta muana wubakala, dizina bela kuntedilanga Emanueli, bu dinsundula: “Nzambi widi yeto!”
"Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which is God with us.)
24 Zozefi bu kakotuka, wuvanga mambu moso mbasi yi Pfumu kantuma ayi wubonga Maliya mu ba nketo andi.
So Joseph, when he awoke from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed him, and took home his wife:
25 Vayi Zozefi kasia zaba nitu yi nketo andi Maliya ko nate kabuta muana wubakala, ayi wumvana dizina Yesu.
and he knew her not, till she brought forth her Son the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
