Matye 1
1 Men non zansèt Jezikri ki te pitit pitit David, pitit pitit Abraram.
The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraram te papa Izarak; Izarak te papa Jakòb; Jakòb te papa Jida ak lòt frè l' yo.
The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were 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.
And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
4 Aram te papa Amenadab; Amenadab te papa Naason; Naason te papa Salmon.
And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
5 Salmon te papa Boaz. Se Raab ki te manman Boaz. Boaz te papa Obèd. Se Rit ki te manman Obèd.
And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
6 Obèd te papa Izayi, Izayi te papa wa David. David te papa Salomon. Se Madan Ouri ki te manman Salomon.
And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 Salomon te papa Woboram; Woboram te papa Abya; Abya te papa Asa.
And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
8 Asa te papa Jozafa; Jozafa te papa Joram; Joram te papa Ozyas;
And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
9 Ozyas te papa Joatam; Joatam te papa Akaz; Akaz te papa Ezekyas;
And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
10 Ezekyas te papa Manase; Manase te papa Amon; Amon te papa Jozyas;
And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was 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.
And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
12 Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
13 Zowobabèl te papa Abiyoud; Abiyoud te papa Elyakim; Elyakim te papa Azò;
And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
14 Azò te papa Sadòk; Sadòk te papa Akim; Akim te papa Eliyoud;
And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
15 Eliyoud te papa Eleaza; Eleaza te papa Matan; Matan te papa Jakòb;
And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
16 Jakòb te papa Jozèf. Se Jozèf sa a ki te marye ak Mari, manman Jezi yo rele Kris la.
And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is 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 generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
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 was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was 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.
And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away 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 when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of 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 will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation 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:
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
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.)
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, 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.
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as 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.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
