< Matthew 1 >
1 The book of the lineage 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 conceived Isaac. And Isaac conceived Jacob. And Jacob conceived Judah and his brothers.
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 conceived Perez and Zerah by Tamar. And Perez conceived Hezron. And Hezron conceived Ram.
4 And Ram conceived Amminadab. And Amminadab conceived Nahshon. And Nahshon conceived Salmon.
5 And Salmon conceived Boaz by Rahab. And Boaz conceived Obed by Ruth. And Obed conceived Jesse.
6 And Jesse conceived king David. And king David conceived Solomon, by her who 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 conceived Rehoboam. And Rehoboam conceived Abijah. And Abijah conceived Asa.
8 And Asa conceived Jehoshaphat. And Jehoshaphat conceived Joram. And Joram conceived Uzziah.
9 And Uzziah conceived Jotham. And Jotham conceived Ahaz. And Ahaz conceived Hezekiah.
10 And Hezekiah conceived Manasseh. And Manasseh conceived Amos. And Amos conceived Josiah.
11 And Josiah conceived Jechoniah and his brothers in the transmigration of Babylon.
12 And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechoniah conceived Shealtiel. And Shealtiel conceived 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 conceived Abiud. And Abiud conceived Eliakim. And Eliakim conceived Azor.
14 And Azor conceived Zadok. And Zadok conceived Achim. And Achim conceived Eliud.
15 And Eliud conceived Eleazar. And Eleazar conceived Matthan. And Matthan conceived Jacob.
16 And Jacob conceived Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 And so, all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the transmigration of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the transmigration of Babylon to 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 procreation of the Christ occurred in this way. After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they lived together, she was found to have conceived in her womb by 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 Then Joseph, her husband, since he was just and was not willing to hand her over, preferred to send her away secretly.
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 while thinking over these things, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to accept Mary as your wife. For what has been formed 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 give birth to a son. And you shall call his name JESUS. For he shall accomplish the salvation of 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 occurred in order to fulfill what 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, a virgin shall conceive in her womb, and she shall give birth to a son. And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which means: God is with us.”
“Seorang perawan akan mengandung dan melahirkan seorang Anak laki-laki, dan Dia akan dinamai Imanuel.” (Imanuel berarti, “Allah bersama dengan kita.”)
24 Then Joseph, arising from sleep, did just as the Angel of the Lord had instructed him, and he accepted her as his wife.
Lalu Yusuf bangun dari tidurnya dan melakukan seperti yang dikatakan malaikat itu kepadanya, yaitu segera menikahi Maria.
25 And he knew her not, yet she bore her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
Namun, Yusuf tidak bersetubuh dengan Maria sampai Anak sulung Maria itu lahir. Kemudian Yusuf menamai Dia ‘Yesus’.
