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 became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel.

Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from 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; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon 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.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant 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 righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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 thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived 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.
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall 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 has happened 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 give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” 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.
Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Men, Jozèf pa t' kouche ak Mari, jouk lè li te fin akouche yon ti gason. Jozèf te rele pitit la Jezi.
and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
