< Matthew 1 >
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Inilah daftar nenek moyang Kristus Yesus: Dia berasal dari keturunan Daud, yang adalah keturunan Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
Inilah nenek moyang-Nya mulai dari Abraham sampai Raja Daud: Abraham, Isak, Yakub, Yehuda (dan saudara-saudaranya), Peres (dan Zerah, ibu mereka bernama Tamar), Hesron, Ram, Aminadab, Nahason, Salmon, Boas (ibunya bernama Rahab), Obed (ibunya bernama Rut), Isai, dan Raja Daud.
3 and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;
4 and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
5 and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
Kemudian mulai dari Daud sampai masa pembuangan Israel ke negeri Babel, inilah nenek moyang Yesus: Daud, Salomo (ibunya adalah mantan istri Uria), Rehabeam, Abia, Asa, Yosafat, Yoram, Uzia, Yotam, Ahas, Hiskia, Manasye, Amon, Yosia, dan Yekonya (bersama saudara-saudaranya).
7 and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
8 and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
9 and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
10 and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;
11 and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.
12 And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Terakhir, dari masa pembuangan bangsa Israel ke Babel sampai Yesus dilahirkan, inilah nenek moyang-Nya: Yekonya, Sealtiel, Zerubabel, Abihud, Elyakim, Azor, Zadok, Akim, Eliud, Eleazar, Matan, Yakub, dan Yusuf. Yusuf adalah suami Maria, dan Maria adalah ibu Yesus, yang disebut Kristus.
13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So 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.
Jadi ada empat belas keturunan dari Abraham sampai Daud, empat belas keturunan dari Daud sampai waktu bangsa Israel dibawa ke Babel, dan empat belas keturunan sejak bangsa Israel mulai tinggal di negeri Babel sampai Kristus dilahirkan.
18 Now 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.
Inilah kisah kelahiran Kristus Yesus. Seorang gadis bernama Maria bertunangan dengan Yusuf. Marialah yang nanti akan menjadi ibu Yesus. Tetapi sebelum mereka menikah, ternyata Maria mengandung oleh karena kuasa Roh Kudus.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
Yusuf, tunangan Maria, adalah seorang yang jujur dan baik hati. Ketika Maria memberitahukan kepada Yusuf tentang kehamilannya, Yusuf tidak mau mempermalukan Maria di depan umum dengan mengatakan bahwa Maria sudah melakukan percabulan. Jadi, dia berencana memutuskan pertunangannya dengan Maria secara diam-diam.
20 But 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.
Tetapi waktu Yusuf sedang memikirkan hal itu, datanglah malaikat kepadanya dalam mimpi. Malaikat itu berkata, “Yusuf, keturunan Daud, janganlah takut mengambil Maria sebagai istrimu, karena anak yang di dalam kandungannya itu berasal dari Roh Kudus.
21 And 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.
Maria akan melahirkan seorang Anak laki-laki. Namailah Anak itu Yesus, karena Dialah yang akan menyelamatkan umat-Nya dari dosa-dosa mereka.”
22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Allah mengatur semua itu supaya terjadi tepat sesuai dengan perkataan-Nya melalui nubuatan nabi-Nya,
23 Behold, 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.
“Seorang perawan akan mengandung dan melahirkan seorang Anak laki-laki, dan Dia akan dinamai Imanuel.” (Imanuel berarti, “Allah bersama dengan kita.”)
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
Lalu Yusuf bangun dari tidurnya dan melakukan seperti yang dikatakan malaikat itu kepadanya, yaitu segera menikahi Maria.
25 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
Namun, Yusuf tidak bersetubuh dengan Maria sampai Anak sulung Maria itu lahir. Kemudian Yusuf menamai Dia ‘Yesus’.
