1 This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Men non zansèt Jezikri ki te pitit pitit David, pitit pitit Abraram.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
Abraram te papa Izarak; Izarak te papa Jakòb; Jakòb te papa Jida ak lòt frè l' yo.
3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.
Jida menm te papa Perèz ak Zara. Se Tama ki te manman yo. Perèz te papa Eswòm; Eswòm te papa Aram.
4 Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.
Aram te papa Amenadab; Amenadab te papa Naason; Naason te papa Salmon.
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,
Salmon te papa Boaz. Se Raab ki te manman Boaz. Boaz te papa Obèd. Se Rit ki te manman Obèd.
6 and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,
Obèd te papa Izayi, Izayi te papa wa David. David te papa Salomon. Se Madan Ouri ki te manman Salomon.
7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.
Salomon te papa Woboram; Woboram te papa Abya; Abya te papa Asa.
8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.
Asa te papa Jozafa; Jozafa te papa Joram; Joram te papa Ozyas;
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
Ozyas te papa Joatam; Joatam te papa Akaz; Akaz te papa Ezekyas;
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,
Ezekyas te papa Manase; Manase te papa Amon; Amon te papa Jozyas;
11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Jozyas te papa Jekonyas ak lòt frè l' yo. Se lè sa a yo te depòte moun pèp Izrayèl yo, yo mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn.
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
Zowobabèl te papa Abiyoud; Abiyoud te papa Elyakim; Elyakim te papa Azò;
14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.
Azò te papa Sadòk; Sadòk te papa Akim; Akim te papa Eliyoud;
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,
Eliyoud te papa Eleaza; Eleaza te papa Matan; Matan te papa Jakòb;
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jakòb te papa Jozèf. Se Jozèf sa a ki te marye ak Mari, manman Jezi yo rele Kris la.
17 In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
Konsa, pran depi Abraram jouk nou rive sou David, te gen antou katòz jenerasyon papa ak pitit. Pran depi David jouk nou rive lè yo te depòte pèp Izrayèl la ale lavil Babilòn, te gen antou katòz jenerasyon papa ak pitit. Pran depi lè yo te depòte pèp la jouk nou rive sou Kris la, te gen katòz jenerasyon papa ak pitit tou.
18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
Men ki jan Jezikri te fèt. Mari, manman Jezi, te fiyanse avèk Jozèf. Anvan menm yo te antre nan kay ansanm, Mari vin twouve l' ansent pa pouvwa Sentespri.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Jozèf, fiyanse l' la, te yon nonm debyen. Li pa t' vle fè eskandal ak sa. Li te vle kase fiyansaj la san bri san kont.
20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
Li t'ap kalkile sou jan li tapral fè sa lè li wè yon zanj Bondye parèt devan li nan dòmi. Zanj lan di li: Jozèf, pitit pitit David, ou pa bezwen pè pran Mari pou madanm ou. Paske, pitit l'ap pote a se travay Sentespri.
21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
Li pral fè yon pitit gason. Wa rele l' Jezi. Se li menm ki pral delivre pèp li a anba peche l' yo.
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Tou sa pase konsa pou pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch pwofèt la te ka rive vre. Men sa l' te di:
23 “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
Men li, jenn fi a pral ansent, li pral fè yon pitit gason. y'a rele l' Emannwèl. (Non sa a vle di: Bondye avèk nou.)
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
Lè Jozèf leve nan dòmi an, li fè tou sa zanj Bondye a te di l' fè: li pran madanm li lakay li.
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
Men, Jozèf pa t' kouche ak Mari, jouk lè li te fin akouche yon ti gason. Jozèf te rele pitit la Jezi.
