Matye 1
1 Men non zansèt Jezikri ki te pitit pitit David, pitit pitit Abraram.
The History of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.
2 Abraram te papa Izarak; Izarak te papa Jakòb; Jakòb te papa Jida ak lòt frè l' yo.
Abraham begot Isaac. Isaac begot Jacob. Jacob begot Judah and his brothers.
3 Jida menm te papa Perèz ak Zara. Se Tama ki te manman yo. Perèz te papa Eswòm; Eswòm te papa Aram.
Judah had Pharez and Zarah by Tamar. Pharez begot Ezrom. Ezrom begot Aram.
4 Aram te papa Amenadab; Amenadab te papa Naason; Naason te papa Salmon.
Aram begot Aminidab. Aminidab begot Nashon. Nashon begot Salmon.
5 Salmon te papa Boaz. Se Raab ki te manman Boaz. Boaz te papa Obèd. Se Rit ki te manman Obèd.
Salmon had Boaz by Rahab. Boaz had Obed by Ruth. Obed begot Jesse.
6 Obèd te papa Izayi, Izayi te papa wa David. David te papa Salomon. Se Madan Ouri ki te manman Salomon.
Jesse begot David the king. David the king had Solomon, by her who had been the wife of Uriah.
7 Salomon te papa Woboram; Woboram te papa Abya; Abya te papa Asa.
Solomon begot Rehoboam. Rehoboam begot Abia. Abia begot Asa.
8 Asa te papa Jozafa; Jozafa te papa Joram; Joram te papa Ozyas;
Asa begot Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat begot Joram. Joram begot Uzziah.
9 Ozyas te papa Joatam; Joatam te papa Akaz; Akaz te papa Ezekyas;
Uzziah begot Jotham. Jotham begot Ahaz. Ahaz begot Hezekiah.
10 Ezekyas te papa Manase; Manase te papa Amon; Amon te papa Jozyas;
Hezekiah begot Manasseh. Manasseh begot Amon. Amon begot Josiah.
11 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.
Josiah had Jeconiah and his brothers, about the time of the migration into Babylon.
12 Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
After the migration into Babylon, Jeconiah begot Salathiel. Salathiel begot Zerubbabel.
13 Zowobabèl te papa Abiyoud; Abiyoud te papa Elyakim; Elyakim te papa Azò;
Zerubbabel begot Abiud. Abiud begot Eliakim. Eliakim begot Azor.
14 Azò te papa Sadòk; Sadòk te papa Akim; Akim te papa Eliyoud;
Azor begot Zadoc. Zadoc begot Achim. Achim begot Eliud.
15 Eliyoud te papa Eleaza; Eleaza te papa Matan; Matan te papa Jakòb;
Eliud begot Eleazar. Eleazar begot Matthan. Matthan begot Jacob.
16 Jakòb te papa Jozèf. Se Jozèf sa a ki te marye ak Mari, manman Jezi yo rele Kris la.
Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 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.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen; from David till the migration into Babylon, fourteen; from David till the migration into Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen.
18 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.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened thus: Mary his mother had been espoused to Joseph; but before they came together, she proved to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 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.
Joseph her husband being a virtuous man, and unwilling to expose her, intended to divorce her privately.
20 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.
But while he was thinking upon this, an angel of the Lord appearing to him in a dream, said, Joseph, son of David, scruple not to take home Mary your wife; for her pregnancy is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Li pral fè yon pitit gason. Wa rele l' Jezi. Se li menm ki pral delivre pèp li a anba peche l' yo.
And she shall bear a son, whom you shall call Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Tou sa pase konsa pou pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch pwofèt la te ka rive vre. Men sa l' te di:
In all this what the Lord had spoken by the Prophet was verified,
23 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.)
"Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Immanuel;" which signifies, God with us.
24 Lè Jozèf leve nan dòmi an, li fè tou sa zanj Bondye a te di l' fè: li pran madanm li lakay li.
When Joseph awoke, he did as the messenger of the Lord had commanded him, and took home his wife;
25 Men, Jozèf pa t' kouche ak Mari, jouk lè li te fin akouche yon ti gason. Jozèf te rele pitit la Jezi.
but knew her not, until she had brought forth her first born son, whom he named Jesus.
