12 Aprè depòtasyon Babylone nan, Jéchonias te fè Salathiel; e pa Salathiel, Zorobabel.

16 Jacob te fè Joseph, mari a Marie a, manman a Jésus ke yo rele Kris la.
And Jacob, of 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.
So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the exile to Babylon is fourteen; and from the exile to Babylon to Christ is fourteen.
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.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
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, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
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 while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
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.”
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Tout sa te fèt pou akonpli sa ki te pale pa Senyè a, atravè pwofèt yo;
All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
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! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "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.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 Li te kenbe l kon yon vyèj jiskaske li te fin fè gason an, epi li te rele li Jésus.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
