After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel.

16 Bosi Yakobi wubuta Zozefi wuba bakala di Maliya, ngudi yi Yesu wuba tedila Klisto.
Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Miriam, from whom was born Yeshua, who is called Messiah.
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.
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 Messiah, 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 Yeshua the Messiah was like this: After his mother, Miriam, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Zozefi, bakala diodi dizola kuela Maliya, wuba mutu wusonga, wumanga kuandi kumfuisa tsoni va meso ma batu; wubaka lukanu lu kumbotula mu kitsueki.
Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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.
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 Miriam as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Wela buta muana wubakala, dizina wela kumbieka Yesu: bila niandi wela kula batu bandi mu masumu mawu.
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Yeshua, for it is he who 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 has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through 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, 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.”
24 Zozefi bu kakotuka, wuvanga mambu moso mbasi yi Pfumu kantuma ayi wubonga Maliya mu ba nketo andi.
Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Vayi Zozefi kasia zaba nitu yi nketo andi Maliya ko nate kabuta muana wubakala, ayi wumvana dizina Yesu.
and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Yeshua.
