Men non zansèt Jezikri ki te pitit pitit David, pitit pitit Abraram.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Juda and his brethren;

3 and Juda begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom, and Esrom begat Aram,

6 and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon, of her [that had been the wife] of Urias;
Obèd te papa Izayi, Izayi te papa wa David. David te papa Salomon. Se Madan Ouri ki te manman Salomon.
7 and Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat Abia, and Abia begat Asa,

8 and Asa begat Josaphat, and Josaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Ozias,
Asa te papa Jozafa; Jozafa te papa Joram; Joram te papa Ozyas;
9 and Ozias begat Joatham, and Joatham begat Achaz, and Achaz begat Ezekias,
Ozyas te papa Joatam; Joatam te papa Akaz; Akaz te papa Ezekyas;
10 and Ezekias begat Manasses, and Manasses begat Amon, and Amon begat Josias,
Ezekyas te papa Manase; Manase te papa Amon; Amon te papa Jozyas;
11 and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away of 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 And after the carrying away of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel,
Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
13 and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,

Azò te papa Sadòk; Sadòk te papa Akim; Akim te papa Eliyoud;
15 and Eliud begat Eliazar, and Eliazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
Eliyoud te papa Eleaza; Eleaza te papa Matan; Matan te papa Jakòb;
16 and Jacob begat 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 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [were] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
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 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of [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 But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;
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 while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to [thee] Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of [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 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall 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 Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through the prophet, saying,
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 shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, '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 But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of [the] Lord had enjoined him, and took to [him] 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 and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
Men, Jozèf pa t' kouche ak Mari, jouk lè li te fin akouche yon ti gason. Jozèf te rele pitit la Jezi.
