⁶and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;

⁶ miy baayu buur bi Daawuda. Daawuda moo jur Suleymaan ci ki nekkoon jabari Uri;

⁷and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;

¹¹and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.

¹⁶ Yanqóoba nag moo jur Yuusufa jëkkëru Maryaama; te ci Maryaama la Yeesu, mi ñuy wax Kirist, juddoo.

¹⁷So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.

¹⁷ Mboolem giir googu nag, la dale ca Ibraayma ba ca Daawuda, fukk lañu ak ñeent; la dale ca Daawuda ba ca njaam ga ca Babilon, fukk lañu ak ñeent; la dale njaam ga ca Babilon ba ci Kirist, fukk lañu ak ñeent.

¹⁸Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸ Nii la Yeesu Kirist juddoo. Bi ñu mayee Maryaama ndeyam Yuusufa, waaye laata ñoo ànd, gis nañu ne dafa ëmb ci kàttanu Xel mu Sell mi.

¹⁹And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

¹⁹ Yuusufa jëkkëram nag, nekkoon na nit ku jub te bëggu ko woon a weer. Mu nar a xàccook moom ci sutura.

²⁰But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

²⁰ Waaye bi muy xalaat ci loolu, benn malaakam Boroom bi daldi ko feeñu ci gént ne ko: «Yaw Yuusufa, sëtu Daawuda, bul ragal a yeggali Maryaama sa jabar, ndaxte doom ji mu ëmb, ci Xel mu Sell mi la jóge.

²¹And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.

²¹ Dina jur doom ju góor; na nga ko tudde Yeesu, ndaxte moo di kiy musal xeetam ci seeni bàkkaar.»

²²Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²² Loolu lépp xewoon na, ngir amal li Boroom bi wax, jaarale ko cib yonent, bi mu naan:

²³Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.

²³ «Janq bi dina ëmb,jur doom ju góor,ñu tudde ko Emanuwel,» liy tekki «Yàlla ganesi na nu.»

²⁴And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;

²⁴ Noonu Yuusufa yeewu, yeggali jabaram, na ko ko malaakam Boroom bi sante woon.

²⁵and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.

²⁵ Waaye àndul ak moom, ba kera mu mucc, jur doom ju góor; mu tudde ko Yeesu.
