11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Zoziasi wubuta Yekonia ayi bakhomba bandi; bawu babutuka bu banata bana ba Iseli mu buvika ku tsi Babiloni.
12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel.
Buvika bu bumana ku Babiloni, Yekonia wubuta Salatieli; Salatieli wubuta Zolobabeli.
13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor.

15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob.
Eliudi wubuta Eleyazali; Eleyazali wubuta Matani; Matani wubuta Yakobi.
16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Bosi Yakobi wubuta Zozefi wuba bakala di Maliya, ngudi yi Yesu wuba tedila Klisto.
17 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 Christ, fourteen generations.
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.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
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.
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Zozefi, bakala diodi dizola kuela Maliya, wuba mutu wusonga, wumanga kuandi kumfuisa tsoni va meso ma batu; wubaka lukanu lu kumbotula mu kitsueki.
20 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 Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
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.
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
Wela buta muana wubakala, dizina wela kumbieka Yesu: bila niandi wela kula batu bandi mu masumu mawu.
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Mambu moso mama mavangama mu diambu di dedikisa mambu makamba Pfumu kuidi mbikudi ti:
23 “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.”
Luwa, ndumba yikambu zaba bakala yela ba mu buemba, yela buta muana wubakala, dizina bela kuntedilanga Emanueli, bu dinsundula: “Nzambi widi yeto!”
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Zozefi bu kakotuka, wuvanga mambu moso mbasi yi Pfumu kantuma ayi wubonga Maliya mu ba nketo andi.
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
Vayi Zozefi kasia zaba nitu yi nketo andi Maliya ko nate kabuta muana wubakala, ayi wumvana dizina Yesu.
