Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Ishitabu ishashikholo isha Yesu Klisiti umwana wa Daudi, umwana wa Ibrahimu.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac; and Isaac was the father of Jacob; and Jacob was the father of Judas and his brothers;
U Ibrahimu ahali yise wa Isaka, Uisaka ahali yise wa Yakobo, u Yakobo ahali yise wa Yuda na bhaholo bhakwe.
3 And Judas was the father of Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares was the father of Esrom; and Esrom was the father of Aram;
U Yuda ahali yise wa Peresi nu Sera hwa Tamari, Peresi yise wa Hezeroni, u Hezeroni yise wa Ramu.
4 And Aram was the father of Aminadab; and Aminadab was the father of Naasson; and Naasson was the father of Salmon;
U Ramu ahali yise wa Aminadabu, u Aminadabu ahali yise wa Nshoni, u Nashoni yise wa Salimoni.
5 And Salmon was the father of Booz of Rachab; and Booz was the father of Obed of Ruth; and Obed was the father of Jesse;
U Salimoni ahali yise wa Boazi hwa Rahabu, u Boazi yise wa Obedi hwa Ruth, U Obedi yise wa Yese,
6 And Jesse was the father of David the king; and David the king was the father of Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
u Yese ahali yise wa mfalume u Daudi. U Daudi ahali yise wa Sulemani hwa nshi wa Uria.
7 And Solomon was the father of Roboam; and Roboam was the father of Abia; and Abia was the father of Asa;
Usulemani ahali yise wa Rehoboamu, u Rehoboamu yise wa Abiya, u Abiya yise wa Asa.
8 And Asa was the father of Josaphat; and Josaphat was the father of Joram; and Joram was the father of Ozias;
U Asa ahali yise wa Yehoshafati, u Yehoshafati yise wa Yoramu, u Yoramu yise wa Uzia.
9 And Ozias was the father of Joatham; and Joatham was the father of Achaz; and Achaz was the father of Ezekias;
U Uzia ahali yise wa Yothamu, u Yothamu yise wa Ahazi, u Ahazi yise wa Hezekia.
10 And Ezekias was the father of Manasses; and Manasses was the father of Amon; and Amon was the father of Josias;
U Hezekia ahali yise wa Manase, u Manase yise wa Amoni u Amoni yise wa Yosia.
11 And Josias was the father of Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
U Yosia ahali yise wa Yekonia na kaka bhakwe lwebhahegwaga abhale hu Babeli.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias was the father of Salathiel; and Salathiel was the father of Zorobabel;
Baada ya hwegwe abhale hu Babeli, u Yekonia ahali yise wa Shatieli, u Shatieli ahali mwizukulu wa Zerubabeli.
13 And Zorobabel was the father of Abiud; and Abiud was the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim was the father of Azor;
u Zerubabeli ahali yise wa Abiudi, u Abiudi yise wa Eliakimu, u Eliakimu yise wa Azori.
14 And Azor was the father of Sadoc; and Sadoc was the father of Achim; and Achim was the father of Eliud;
U Azori ahali yise wa Zadoki, u Zadoki yise wa Akimu u Akimu yise wa Eliudi.
15 And Eliud was the father of Eleazar; and Eleazar was the father of Matthan; and Matthan was the father of Jacob;
U Eliudi ahali yise wa Elieza, u Elieza yise wa Matani u Matani yise wa Yakobo.
16 And Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
U Yakobo ahali yise wa Yusufu unume wa Mariamu, yehwamwene u Yesu ahapapwilwe, yahwitwa Klisiti.
17 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.
Impapo zyonti afume hwa Ibrahimu hadi hwa Daudi zyahali impapo kumi na nne, afume hwa Daudi hadi hwegwe abhale hwa Babeli impapo kumi na nne, na afume ahwegwe afume hu Babeli hadi hwa Klisiti impapo kumi na nne.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ 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 Ghost.
Apapwe hwa Yesu Klisiti hwahali ishi. Unyina wakwe u Mariamu, ahazinjiwilwe nu Yusufu, ishi shebhasili alolane ahaloleshe aje alinivyanda hwa mpepo umfinjile.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
Unume wakwe u Yusufu, ahali muntu wi lyoli zaga ahauzaga hukenyesye hubhantu. Ahamuye ahwimilisye husili.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Nahasibhaga ahusu amamba iga, uwantumi uwa ngumbhi ahamfumiiye hunjozi, ahaga, “Yusufu mwana wa Daudi, usahogope humweje u Mariamu unshi waho pipo ulwanda lwali nalwo lufumiline nu Mepo umfinjile.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Abhapape umwana unsahala ubhalunkwize itawa lyakwe yu Yesu, papo anzahubhokole abhantu bhakwe ni dhambi zyabho.”
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Gonti gahafumiye aje nkezibhombeshe zyezyayangwile nu gosi hwidala lya kuwa aje,
23 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.
“Enya, u bikira ahayibha ni vyanda ahayipapa umwana uwishilume itawa lyakwe abhahukwizye yu Imanueli” — imaana yakwe, “Ungulubhi ali natwi.”
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
U Yusufu ahadamushe mutulo na bhombe ndeshe abhantumi ngosi she bhahamuzizye na ahamwejile unshi wakwe.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Hata shinisho, sagahagonile nawo mpaka lwahapapa umwana uwishilume ahankwizya itawa lyakwe yu Yesu.
