Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Đây là gia phả của Chúa Giê-xu, Đấng Mết-si-a, theo dòng dõi Đa-vít và Áp-ra-ham:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac; and Isaac was the father of Jacob; and Jacob was the father of Judas and his brothers;
Áp-ra-ham sinh Y-sác. Y-sác sinh Gia-cốp. Gia-cốp sinh Giu-đa và các con.
3 And Judas was the father of Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares was the father of Esrom; and Esrom was the father of Aram;
Giu-đa sinh Pha-rê và Xa-ra (tên mẹ là Ta-ma). Pha-rê sinh Hết-rôm. Hết-rôm sinh A-ram.
4 And Aram was the father of Aminadab; and Aminadab was the father of Naasson; and Naasson was the father of Salmon;
A-ram sinh A-mi-na-đáp. A-mi-na-đáp sinh Na-ách-son. Na-ách-son sinh Sanh-môn.
5 And Salmon was the father of Booz of Rachab; and Booz was the father of Obed of Ruth; and Obed was the father of Jesse;
Sanh-môn cưới Ra-háp, sinh Bô-ô. Bô-ô cưới Ru-tơ, sinh Ô-bết. Ô-bết sinh Gie-sê.
6 And Jesse was the father of David the king; and David the king was the father of Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
Gie-sê sinh Vua Đa-vít. Đa-vít sinh Sa-lô-môn (mẹ là Bết-sê-ba, là bà góa U-ri).
7 And Solomon was the father of Roboam; and Roboam was the father of Abia; and Abia was the father of Asa;
Sa-lô-môn sinh Rô-bô-am. Rô-bô-am sinh A-bi-gia. A-bi-gia sinh A-sa.
8 And Asa was the father of Josaphat; and Josaphat was the father of Joram; and Joram was the father of Ozias;
A-sa sinh Giô-sa-phát. Giô-sa-phát sinh Giô-ram. Giô-ram sinh Ô-xia.
9 And Ozias was the father of Joatham; and Joatham was the father of Achaz; and Achaz was the father of Ezekias;
Ô-xia sinh Giô-tham. Giô-tham sinh A-cha. A-cha sinh Ê-xê-chia.
10 And Ezekias was the father of Manasses; and Manasses was the father of Amon; and Amon was the father of Josias;
Ê-xê-chia sinh Ma-na-se. Ma-na-se sinh A-môn. A-môn sinh Giô-si-a.
11 And Josias was the father of Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Giô-si-a sinh Giê-cô-nia và các con trước khi người Do Thái bị lưu đày qua Ba-by-lôn.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias was the father of Salathiel; and Salathiel was the father of Zorobabel;
Sau khi bị lưu đày: Giê-cô-nia sinh Sa-la-thi-ên. Sa-la-thi-ên sinh Xô-rô-ba-bên.
13 And Zorobabel was the father of Abiud; and Abiud was the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim was the father of Azor;
Xô-rô-ba-bên sinh A-bi-út. A-bi-út sinh Ê-li-a-kim. Ê-li-a-kim sinh A-xô.
14 And Azor was the father of Sadoc; and Sadoc was the father of Achim; and Achim was the father of Eliud;
A-xô sinh Xa-đốc. Xa-đốc sinh A-kim. A-kim sinh Ê-li-út.
15 And Eliud was the father of Eleazar; and Eleazar was the father of Matthan; and Matthan was the father of Jacob;
Ê-li-út sinh Ê-lê-a-sa. Ê-lê-a-sa sinh Ma-than. Ma-than sinh Gia-cốp.
16 And Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Gia-cốp sinh Giô-sép, chồng Ma-ri. Ma-ri sinh Chúa Giê-xu là Đấng Mết-si-a.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
Vậy, từ Áp-ra-ham đến Đa-vít có mười bốn thế hệ, từ Đa-vít đến thời kỳ lưu đày ở Ba-by-lôn có mười bốn thế hệ, và từ thời kỳ lưu đày ở Ba-by-lôn đến Đấng Mết-si-a cũng có mười bốn thế hệ.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Sự giáng sinh của Chúa Giê-xu, Đấng Mết-si-a diễn tiến như sau: Mẹ Ngài, cô Ma-ri, đã đính hôn với Giô-sép. Nhưng trước khi cưới, lúc còn là trinh nữ, cô chịu thai do quyền năng của Chúa Thánh Linh.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
Giô-sép, vị hôn phu của Ma-ri là một người ngay lành, quyết định kín đáo từ hôn, vì không nỡ để cô bị sỉ nhục công khai.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Đang suy tính việc ấy, Giô-sép bỗng thấy một thiên sứ của Chúa đến với ông trong giấc mộng: “Giô-sép, con của Đa-vít. Đừng ngại cưới Ma-ri làm vợ. Vì cô ấy chịu thai do Chúa Thánh Linh.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Cô ấy sẽ sinh con trai, và ngươi hãy đặt tên là Giê-xu, vì Ngài sẽ cứu dân Ngài khỏi tội lỗi.”
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Việc xảy ra đúng như lời Chúa đã phán bảo các nhà tiên tri loan báo:
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
“Này! Một trinh nữ sẽ chịu thai! Người sẽ sinh hạ một Con trai, họ sẽ gọi Ngài là Em-ma-nu-ên, nghĩa là ‘Đức Chúa Trời ở với chúng ta.’”
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
Giô-sép tỉnh dậy, ông làm theo lệnh thiên sứ của Chúa, cưới Ma-ri làm vợ.
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Nhưng ông không ăn ở với cô ấy cho đến khi cô sinh con trai, và Giô-sép đặt tên là Giê-xu.
