And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 Josiya wakali sikale wa Jekoniya antomwe abakulana bakwe kuchindi chakutolwa kubuzike ku Bbabbiloni.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Musule lyakulonzegwa kutolwa ku Bbabbiloni, Jekoniya wakali wisi wa Sialitiyeli, Sialitiyeli wakali sikale wa Zelubbabbeli.

And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Yahushua, who is called the Messiah.
17 Woonse mazyalani kuzwa kuli Abbulahamu kusika kuli Devidi akali mazyalane ali ikkumi aane, kuzwa kuli Devidi kusika kukulonzegwa kwabo kutolwa ku Bbabiloni mazyalane ali ikkumi aane, alimwi kuzwa kukulonzegwa kutolwa ku Bbabbiloni kusikila kuli Kkilisito mazyalane ali kkumi aane.
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 unto the Messiah are fourteen generations.
18 Kuzyalwa kwa Jesu Kkilisito kwaka chitika munzila itobela. Banyina, Meli bakatangilwakuti bakwatwe a Jozefu, pesi kabatana kuswanana, wakajanika kuti wakali mintide kumuuya uusalala.
Now the birth of Yahushua the Messiah was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
19 Pesi Jozefu, mulumi wakwe, wakali mwalumi ululeme alimwi tewakayanda kumufwisya bweeme pe chaantanganana, aboobo wakayeya kumuleka chuumunizi akusiya chizuminano chabo.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 Awo mpakali kuyeeya ezi zintu, mungelo wa Mwami wakaboneka kulinguwe muchiloto, waamba kuti, “Jozefu mwana wa Devidi, utayowi pe kubweza Meli kuti abe mwanakazi wako, nkambo oyo umintidwe mulinguwe umintidwe a Muuya Uusalala.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of YHWH appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Uyozyala mwana mulombe, alimwi uyomuzika izina lyakuti ngu Jesu, nkambo uyofutula bantu bakwe kuzwa kuzibi zyabo.”
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Yahushua: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Zyonseezi zyakachitika kuzuzikizya zyakaambwa a Mwami kwinda kubasinsiimi, wamba wati,
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of YHWH by the prophet, saying,
23 “Amubone, ooyo musimbi uzominta uzotumbuka mwana mulombe, mpawo izina lyakwe bazomuzika kuti ngu Imanuwele” - elyo lipandululwa kutegwa, “Leza ulandiswe.
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, Elohim with us.
24 Jozefu wakabuka kuzwa kukoona kwakwe wachita mbuli mungelo wa Mwami mbakamulayilila, mpawo wakamubweza waba mwanakazi wakwe.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of YHWH had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 Pesi takwepe nakamuziba kusika watumbuka mwana mulombe. Elyo wakamuzika izina kuti ngu Jesu.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Yahushua.
