Matye 1
1 Men non zansèt Jezikri ki te pitit pitit David, pitit pitit Abraram.
[The] scroll of the birth 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, and Isaac begot Jacob, and 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.
and Judah begot Perez and Zerah of Tamar, and Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram,
4 Aram te papa Amenadab; Amenadab te papa Naason; Naason te papa Salmon.
and Ram begot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
5 Salmon te papa Boaz. Se Raab ki te manman Boaz. Boaz te papa Obèd. Se Rit ki te manman Obèd.
and Salmon begot Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed of Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse,
6 Obèd te papa Izayi, Izayi te papa wa David. David te papa Salomon. Se Madan Ouri ki te manman Salomon.
and Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah’s,
7 Salomon te papa Woboram; Woboram te papa Abya; Abya te papa Asa.
and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,
8 Asa te papa Jozafa; Jozafa te papa Joram; Joram te papa Ozyas;
and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
9 Ozyas te papa Joatam; Joatam te papa Akaz; Akaz te papa Ezekyas;
and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
10 Ezekyas te papa Manase; Manase te papa Amon; Amon te papa Jozyas;
and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and 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.
and Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers, at the Babylonian removal.
12 Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
13 Zowobabèl te papa Abiyoud; Abiyoud te papa Elyakim; Elyakim te papa Azò;
and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,
14 Azò te papa Sadòk; Sadòk te papa Akim; Akim te papa Eliyoud;
and Azor begot Sadok, and Sadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud,
15 Eliyoud te papa Eleaza; Eleaza te papa Matan; Matan te papa Jakòb;
and Eliud begot Eleazar, and Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob,
16 Jakòb te papa Jozèf. Se Jozèf sa a ki te marye ak Mari, manman Jezi yo rele Kris la.
and Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named 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.
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal to the 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.
And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from 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 her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send 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.
And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her 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 bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name 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:
And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
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 will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “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, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received 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 did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
