Esekihas ń mali Manase; Manase ń mali Amɔn; Amɔn ń mali Josias;
11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Josias ń mali Jekonias yeni o ninjaba, ban cuo ba ya yogu ki gede yeni ba Babilɔni, ti yonbidi.
12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel.
Babiloni yonbdi ń pendi, ke Jekonias mali Salatiel; Salatiel ń mali Sorobabel;

16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakob ń mali Josef, Maari calo, Maari, yua n mali Jesu, ban yi yua kiristu.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
Lan wani, lan cili Abalahama, ki tuoni Dafiid, li tie piiga n nifiima na, lan taa Dafiid ki tuoni Babiloni yonbidi, li mo tie piiga n nifiima na, ki taa Babiloni yonbdi hali kiristu li mo tie piiga n nifiima na.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Jesu kiristu ń mali maama n ne. Maari, o naá bo tie Josef cikpenga i, ki punbi U Tienu Foŋanma paalu po, ke bi dá ki taani yeni bi yaba (ki dá ki kuni ti cikpendi)
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
O calo, Josef ń bo tie nitegnka, kaa bua ke o fiagi o yeni, o den jagi ke wan wuoni, ki yie o ŋasiili nni.
20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Wan taa lan ya maalma yeni, O Diedo maleki ń legdi o po ti dangdi nni, ki maadi o: Dafiid bijua Josef, da jie yeni ŋan kuani a denpua Maari kelima, wan punbi ya biga ne ñani U Tienu Foŋanma kani i.
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
O ba mali bonjaga, ŋan yini o Jesu; wani n ba faabi o buolu u tuonbiidi po.
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Ne kuli tieni ke O Diedo ń bo cedi ke bi sawalpuaba tuodi ki waani yaali ń tieni ki dudi:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
I ba la powandiali (ya jifaano dá ki bani ja) ba punbi, ki mali bonjaga, ban yini o Emanuyel, li niima nni tie U Tienu ye yeni ti.
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Josef ń den findi, o den tieni nani O Diedo maleki ń waani o yaala, o den ga o denpua ke bi taani ki ye.
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
Ama, o den ki taani yeni o hali ke o ban mali bonjaga ke o yini o Jesu.
