1 The booke of the generation of Jesus Christ the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.
Men non zansèt Jezikri ki te pitit pitit David, pitit pitit Abraram.
2 Abraham begate Isaac. And Isaac begate Iacob. And Iacob begat Iudas and his brethren.

6 And Iesse begate Dauid the King. And Dauid the King begate Salomon of her that was the wife of Vrias.

7 And Salomon begate Roboam. And Roboam begate Abia. And Abia begate Asa.

8 And Asa begate Iosaphat. And Iosaphat begate Ioram. And Ioram begate Hozias.

9 And Hozias begat Ioatham. And Ioatham begate Achaz. And Achaz begate Ezekias.
Ozyas te papa Joatam; Joatam te papa Akaz; Akaz te papa Ezekyas;
10 And Ezekias begate Manasses. And Manasses begate Amon. And Amon begate Iosias.
Ezekyas te papa Manase; Manase te papa Amon; Amon te papa Jozyas;
11 And Iosias begate Iakim. And Iakim begate Iechonias and his brethren about the time they were caried away 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 And after they were caried away into Babylon, Iechonias begate Salathiel. And Salathiel begate Zorobabel.
Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
13 And Zorobabel begate Abiud. And Abiud begate Eliacim. And Eliacim begate Azor.

Eliyoud te papa Eleaza; Eleaza te papa Matan; Matan te papa Jakòb;
16 And Iacob begat Ioseph ye husband of Mary, of whom was borne Jesus, that is called Christ.
Jakòb te papa Jozèf. Se Jozèf sa a ki te marye ak Mari, manman Jezi yo rele Kris la.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid, are fourtene generations. And from Dauid vntil they were caried away into Babylon, fourtene generations: and after they were caried away into Babylon vntill Christ, fourteene 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 Nowe the birth of Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.
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 Then Ioseph her husband being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publike example, was minded to 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 whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.
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 foorth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.
Li pral fè yon pitit gason. Wa rele l' Jezi. Se li menm ki pral delivre pèp li a anba peche l' yo.
22 And al this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by ye 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, a virgine shalbe with childe, and shall beare a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with vs.
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 Then Ioseph, being raised from sleepe, did as the Angel of the Lord had inioyned him, and tooke 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 knew her not, til she had broght forth her first borne sonne, 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.
