Mateu 1
1 Libri i gjenealogjisë së Jezu Krishtit, birit të Davidit, birit të Abrahamit.
The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abrahamit i lindi Isaku; Isakut i lindi Jakobi; Jakobit i lindi Juda dhe vëllezërit e tij.
The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
3 Judës i lindi nga Tamara Faresi dhe Zara; Faresit i lindi Esromi; Esromit i lindi Arami;
And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;

And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
6 Jeseut i lindi Davidi mbret; mbretit David i lindi Salomoni nga ajo që kishte qenë bashkëshortja e Urias.
And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 Salomonit i lindi Roboami; Roboamit i lindi Abia; Abias i lindi Asai.
And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
8 Asait i lindi Jozafati; Jozafatit i lindi Jorami; Joramit i lindi Ozia.
And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
9 Ozias i lindi Joatami; Joatamit i lindi Akazi; Akazit i lindi Ezekia.
And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
10 Ezekias i lindi Manaseu; Manaseut i lindi Amoni; Amonit i lindi Josia.
And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
11 Josias i lindi Jekonia dhe vëllezërit e tij në kohën e internimit në Babiloni.
And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
12 Pas internimit në Babiloni Jekonias i lindi Salatieli; Salatielit i lindi Zorobabeli.
And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
13 Zorobabelit i lindi Abiudi; Abiudit i lindi Eliakimi; Eliakimit i lindi Azori.
And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
14 Azorit i lindi Sadoku; Sadokut i lindi Akimi; Akimit i lindi Eliudi.
And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
15 Eliudit i lindi Eleazari, Eleazarit i lindi Matthani, Matthanit i lindi Jakobi.
And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
16 Jakobit i lindi Jozefi, bashkëshorti i Marisë, nga e cila lindi Jezusi, që quhet Krisht.
And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
17 Kështu të gjithë brezat nga Abrahami deri te Davidi bëhen katërmbëdhjetë breza; dhe, nga Davidi deri te internimi në Babiloni, katërmbëdhjetë breza; dhe, nga internimi në Babiloni deri te Krishti, katërmbëdhjetë breza.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Tani lindja e Jezu Krishtit ndodhi në këtë mënyrë: Maria, nëna e tij, i ishte premtuar Jozefit, por para se të fillonin të rrinin bashkë, mbeti shtatzënë nga Frymën e Shenjtë.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Atëherë Jozefi, i fejuari i saj, i cili ishte njeri i drejtë dhe nuk donte ta poshtëronte botërisht, vendosi ta linte fshehtas.
And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
20 Por, ndërsa bluante me vete këto çështje, ja që iu shfaq në ëndërr një engjell i Zotit dhe i tha: “Jozef, bir i Davidit, mos ki frikë ta marrësh me vete Marinë si gruan tënde, sepse ç’është ngjizur në të është vepër e Frymës së Shenjtë.
But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Dhe ajo do të lindë një djalë dhe ti do t’i vësh emrin Jezus, sepse ai do të shpëtojë popullin e tij nga mëkatet e tyre”.
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
22 E gjithë kjo ndodhi që të përmbushej fjala e Zotit, e thënë me anë të profetit që thotë:
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23 “Ja, virgjëresha do të mbetet shtatzënë dhe do të lindë një djalë, të cilit do t’i venë emrin Emanuel, që do të thotë: “Zoti me ne””.
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
24 Dhe Jozefi, si u zgjua nga gjumi, veproi ashtu siç e kishte urdhëruar engjëlli i Zotit dhe e mori pranë vetës gruan e tij;
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
25 por ai nuk e njohu, derisa ajo lindi djalin e saj të parëlindur, të cilit ia vuri emrin Jezus.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
