Matye 1
1 Rejis a zansèt Jésus Kris yo, fis a David, fis a Abraham nan.
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham te papa Isaac. Isaac te fè Jacob. Jacob te papa Juda ak lòt frè l yo.
Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;
3 Juda te papa Pharès avèk Zara pa Thamar, Pharès te papa Esrom, epi Esrom te papa a Ram.
and Judah had Phares and Zara by Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom,
4 Ram te papa Aminadab. Aminadab te papa Naasson. Naasson te papa Salmon.
and Esrom begat Aram, and Aram begat Aminadab, and Aminadab begat Naasson, and Naasson begat Salmon,
5 Salmon e Rehab te fè Boaz. Boaz te papa Obed pa Ruth; Obed te papa Isaï.
and Salmon had Booz by Rahab, and Booz had Obed by Ruth,
6 Epi Isaï te bay nesans a David, wa a. David te fè Salomon pa Bathshéba ki te madanm a Urie.
and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David the king, and David had Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.
7 Salomon te fè Roboam. Roboam fè Abia, e pa Abia, Asa.
And Solomon begat Roboam, and Roboam begat Abia,
8 Asa te fè Josaphat, e pa Josaphat, Joram. Pa Joram, Ozias;
and Abia begat Asa, and Asa begat Josaphat, and Josaphat begat Joram,
9 Pou Ozias te fèt Jotham; e a Jotham, Achaz; a Achaz, Ézéchias;
and Joram begat Ozias, and Ozias begat Joatham, and Joatham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Ezechias,
10 epi pa Ézéchias te fèt Manassé; e a Manassé, Amon; e pa Amon Josias;
and Ezechias begat Manasses, and Manasses begat Amon,
11 Josias te fè Jéchonias ak frè li yo nan tan depòtasyon Babylone nan.
and Amon begat Josias, and Josias begat Jakim, and Jakim begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time of their being carried away to Babylon.
12 Aprè depòtasyon Babylone nan, Jéchonias te fè Salathiel; e pa Salathiel, Zorobabel.
And after the captivity of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel,
13 A Zorobabel te fèt Abiud; e a Abiud, Eliakim, e a Eliakim, Azor.
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel, and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
14 Pou Azor te vin fèt Sadok, e a Sadok, Achim, e a Achim, Éliud.
and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat Achim,
15 A Éliud te vin fèt Éléazar. Éléazar te fè Matthan, e pou Matthan, Jacob.
and Achim begat Eliud, and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
16 Jacob te fè Joseph, mari a Marie a, manman a Jésus ke yo rele Kris la.
and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
17 Konsa, tout jenerasyon yo soti nan Abraham jiska David se katòz jenerasyon epi kite David pou rive nan depòtasyon Babylone nan, se katòz jenerasyon. E poukite depòtasyon Babylone nan pou rive a Kris La, se katòz jenerasyon.
All the generations therefore from Abraham to David are fourteen generations: and from David until the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations: and from the Babylonish captivity unto Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Nesans a Jésus, Kris la te fèt konsa: Lè manman Li, Marie, te fiyanse ak Joseph, avan ke yo te vini ansanm, li te twouve ansent pa Lespri Sen an.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in wise: when Mary his mother was promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Ghost:
19 Konsa, Joseph, mari li, ki te yon nonm dwat, pa t vle fè l wont. Pou sa a, li te pran desizyon pou mete l sou kote an sekrè.
but Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was inclined to break off the contract with her privately;
20 Men pandan li t ap anvizaje sa, konsa, yon zanj Bondye te parèt devan li nan yon rèv epi te di l konsa: “Joseph, fis a David la, ou pa bezwen pè pran Marie kon madanm ou; pwiske sa ki gen tan plase nan vant li an, soti nan Lespri Sen an.
and when he was thinking on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph thou Son of David, scruple not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Li va fè yon fis, epi ou va rele li Jésus paske se Li menm ki va sove pèp li a de peche yo.”
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Tout sa te fèt pou akonpli sa ki te pale pa Senyè a, atravè pwofèt yo;
(Now all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying,
23 “Koute byen, vyèj la va vin ansent e l ap fè yon gason. Y ap nonmen li Emmanuel”, ki tradwi vle di “Bondye Avèk Nou”.
"Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which is God with us.)
24 Konsa, Joseph te leve nan dòmi. Li te fè sa ke zanj Senyè a te mande l fè a, e te pran li pou madanm li.
So Joseph, when he awoke from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed him, and took home his wife:
25 Li te kenbe l kon yon vyèj jiskaske li te fin fè gason an, epi li te rele li Jésus.
and he knew her not, till she brought forth her Son the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
