Matthew 1
1 Tala buididi kikhulu ki Yesu Klisto, muana wu Davidi, muana wu Abalahami:
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abalahami wubuta Isaki, Isaki wubuta Yakobi, Yakobi wubuta Yuda ayi bakhomba bandi.
Abraham was the father of Isaac; and Isaac was the father of Jacob; and Jacob was the father of Judas and his brothers;
3 Yuda ayi nketo andi Tamali babuta Falesi ayi Zala; Falesi wubuta Heseloni, Heseloni wubuta Alami.
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;
4 Alami wubuta Aminadabi; Aminadabi wubuta Nasoni; Nasoni wubuta Salimoni.
And Aram was the father of Aminadab; and Aminadab was the father of Naasson; and Naasson was the father of Salmon;
5 Salimoni ayi nketo andi Lahabi babuta Bowazi; Bowazi ayi nketo andi Luti babuta Obedi;
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;
6 Obedi wubuta Isayi; Izayi wubuta ntinu Davidi; ntinu Davidi wubuta Salomo mu nketo wuba wu Uli.
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;
7 Solomo wubuta Lobowami; Lobohami wubuta Abia; Abia wubuta Asa.
And Solomon was the father of Roboam; and Roboam was the father of Abia; and Abia was the father of Asa;
8 Asa wubuta Zozafati; Zozafati wubuta Zolami bosi Zolami wubuta Oziasi;
And Asa was the father of Josaphat; and Josaphat was the father of Joram; and Joram was the father of Ozias;
9 Oziasi wubuta Yotami; Yotami wubuta Akazi; bosi Akazi wubuta Ezekiasi.
And Ozias was the father of Joatham; and Joatham was the father of Achaz; and Achaz was the father of Ezekias;
10 Ezekiasi wubuta Manase; Manase wubuta Amoni bosi Amoni wubuta Zoziasi.
And Ezekias was the father of Manasses; and Manasses was the father of Amon; and Amon was the father of Josias;
11 Zoziasi wubuta Yekonia ayi bakhomba bandi; bawu babutuka bu banata bana ba Iseli mu buvika ku tsi Babiloni.
And Josias was the father of Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 Buvika bu bumana ku Babiloni, Yekonia wubuta Salatieli; Salatieli wubuta Zolobabeli.
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias was the father of Salathiel; and Salathiel was the father of Zorobabel;
13 Zolobabeli wubuta Abuidi; Abuidi wubuta Eliakimi; Eliakimi wubuta Azoli.
And Zorobabel was the father of Abiud; and Abiud was the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim was the father of Azor;
14 Azoli wubuta Sadoki; Sadoki wubuta Akimi; Akimi wubuta Eliudi.
And Azor was the father of Sadoc; and Sadoc was the father of Achim; and Achim was the father of Eliud;
15 Eliudi wubuta Eleyazali; Eleyazali wubuta Matani; Matani wubuta Yakobi.
And Eliud was the father of Eleazar; and Eleazar was the father of Matthan; and Matthan was the father of Jacob;
16 Bosi Yakobi wubuta Zozefi wuba bakala di Maliya, ngudi yi Yesu wuba tedila Klisto.
And Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
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; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ are 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 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.
19 Zozefi, bakala diodi dizola kuela Maliya, wuba mutu wusonga, wumanga kuandi kumfuisa tsoni va meso ma batu; wubaka lukanu lu kumbotula mu kitsueki.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
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 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.
21 Wela buta muana wubakala, dizina wela kumbieka Yesu: bila niandi wela kula batu bandi mu masumu mawu.
And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he 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 was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by 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, 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.
24 Zozefi bu kakotuka, wuvanga mambu moso mbasi yi Pfumu kantuma ayi wubonga Maliya mu ba nketo andi.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
25 Vayi Zozefi kasia zaba nitu yi nketo andi Maliya ko nate kabuta muana wubakala, ayi wumvana dizina Yesu.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
