Matye 1
1 Men non zansèt Jezikri ki te pitit pitit David, pitit pitit Abraram.
The genealogy 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 begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat 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 begat Pharez and Zarah, by Tamar. And Pharez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;
4 Aram te papa Amenadab; Amenadab te papa Naason; Naason te papa Salmon.
and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;
5 Salmon te papa Boaz. Se Raab ki te manman Boaz. Boaz te papa Obèd. Se Rit ki te manman Obèd.
and Salmon begat Boaz by Rahab. And Boaz begat Obed by Ruth. And Obed begat Jesse;
6 Obèd te papa Izayi, Izayi te papa wa David. David te papa Salomon. Se Madan Ouri ki te manman Salomon.
and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon by the wife of Uriah.
7 Salomon te papa Woboram; Woboram te papa Abya; Abya te papa Asa.
And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;
8 Asa te papa Jozafa; Jozafa te papa Joram; Joram te papa Ozyas;
and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;
9 Ozyas te papa Joatam; Joatam te papa Akaz; Akaz te papa Ezekyas;
and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;
10 Ezekyas te papa Manase; Manase te papa Amon; Amon te papa Jozyas;
and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat 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 begat Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the removal to Babylon.
12 Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
And after the removal to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
13 Zowobabèl te papa Abiyoud; Abiyoud te papa Elyakim; Elyakim te papa Azò;
and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 Azò te papa Sadòk; Sadòk te papa Akim; Akim te papa Eliyoud;
and Azor begat Zadok; and Zadok begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 Eliyoud te papa Eleaza; Eleaza te papa Matan; Matan te papa Jakòb;
and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 Jakòb te papa Jozèf. Se Jozèf sa a ki te marye ak Mari, manman Jezi yo rele Kris la.
and Jacob begat 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 generations; and from David to the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the removal to Babylon unto Christ are 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 manner. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found 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.
Then Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not willing to expose her to shame, purposed 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 while he thought on these things, lo! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is by 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 bear a son, and thou shalt 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:
Now all this took place, that it might be fulfilled which 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 shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel;” that is, when interpreted, God-is 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.
Then Joseph, on waking up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him 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 knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name Jesus.
