Matei 1
1 Sheshino ni shitabhu sha nndondonga gwa mena gwa lubheleko lwa a Yeshu Kilishitu bha ulongo gwa a Daudi, bha ulongo gwa a Bhulaimu, puyaaliji nnei.
The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 A Bhulaimu gubhankwete Ishaka, a Ishaka gubhankwete Yakobho, a Yakobho gubhankwete Yuda na ashaakulugwe na ashaapwakwe,
The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
3 a Yuda gubhankwete Peleshi naka Shela anyinabhabhonji pubhashemwaga a Tamali, a Peleshi gubhankwete Eshiloni, a Eshiloni gubhankwete Lami.
And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
4 A Lami gubhankwete Aminadabhu. A Aminadabhu gubhankwete Nashoni, a Nashoni gubhankwete Shalomoni.
And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
5 A Shalomoni gubhankwete Bhoashi, akwabhe Bhoashi pubhashemwaga a Laabhu, a Bhoashi gubhankwete Obhedi kwa akongobhabho a Luti, a Obhedi gubhankwete Yeshe,
And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
6 Nabhalabho a Yeshe gubhankwete Mpalume Daudi. A Daudi gubhankwete Shelemani ku bhakongwe bhaliji akongobhabho a Ulia bhukala.
And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 A Shelemani gubhankwete Leobhoamu, a Leobhoamu gubhankwete Abhiya, a Abhiya gubhankwete Ashapu,
And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
8 A Ashapu gubhankwete Yoshepati, a Yoshepati gubhankwete Yolamu, a Yolamu gubhankwete Ushiya,
And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
9 a Ushiya gubhankwete Yoshamu, a Yoshamu gubhankwete Ashi, a Ashi gubhankwete Eshekia,
And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
10 a Eshekia gubhankwete Manashe, a Manashe gubhankwete Amoni, a Amoni gubhankwete Yoshiya,
And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
11 a Yoshiya gubhankwete Yekoniya na ashaapwakwe, mobha Bhayaudi gubhapelekwenje ku Bhabhuloni.
And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
12 Bhayaudi bhakapelekwanjeje ku Bhabhuloni, a Yekoniya gubhankwete Sheatieli, a Sheatieli gubhankwete Shelubhabheli,
And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
13 a Shelubhabheli gubhankwete Abhiudi, a Abhiudi gubhankwete Eliakimu, a Eliakimu gubhankwete Asholi,
And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
14 A Asholi gubhankwete Shadoki, a Shadoki gubhankwete Akimu, a Akimu gubhankwete Eliudi,
And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
15 a Eliudi gubhankwete Eliashali, a Eliashali gubhankwete Matani, a Matani gubhankwete Yakobho,
And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
16 a Yakobho gubhaakwete a Yoshepu bhaaliji ambujebhabho a Malia, anyinabhabho a Yeshu bhaashemwa a Kilishitu.
And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
17 Bhai puyaliji ibheleko likumi limo na nsheshe kutandubhila a Bhulaimu mpaka a Daudi na ibheleko likumi limo na nsheshe kutandubhila a Daudi mpaka pubhapelekwenje ku utumwa ku Bhabhuloni, na ibheleko likumi limo na nsheshe kutandubhila pubhapelekwenje ku utumwa ku Bhabhuloni mpaka pubhabhelekwe a Kilishitu.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Kubhelekwa kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu pukwaliji nnei, a Malia anyinabhabho a Yeshu, bhali muntemela na a Yoshepu, bhakanabhe gwabhala gubhaabhweni a Malia bhali na shitumbo kwa komboywa naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Pabha a Yoshepu bhashinkubha bhanguja bhakapinjileje kutokomaya ntemela gwabho, kwa nneyo gubhapinjile kwaaleka kwa nng'iyo.
And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
20 Bhali nkuganishiya genego, nnugono malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhakoposhele nng'agamii alinkuti, “A Yoshepu bha ulongo gwa a Daudi, nnajogope kwaatola a Malia bhabhe akongobhenu, pabha Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ni abhatendile bhabhe na shitumbo.
But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Shibhakole mwana jwannume, shimunsheme lina lyakwe Yeshu, pabha jwenejo apinga tapula bhandu bhakwe na yambi yabhonji.”
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
22 Genego gashinkukoposhela nkupinga limalile lilobhe libhalugwile Bhakulungwa kuka nkulondola jwabho,
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23 “Nng'ishana shakole shitumbo, shankole mwana jwannume, shibhanshemanje lina lyakwe Manueli,” malombolelo gakwe, “A Nnungu pamo na uwe”.
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
24 Kwa nneyo, a Yoshepu bhakajumusheje gubhatendile malinga shibhalugulilwe naka malaika jula, gubhaatolile a Malia kubha akongobhabho.
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
25 Bhakaamanyiji akongobhabho a Malia mpaka bhakankoleje mwana jwannume. Na a Yoshepu gubhanshemile lina lyakwe, Yeshu.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
