Mateu 1
1 Libri i gjenealogjisë së Jezu Krishtit, birit të Davidit, birit të Abrahamit.
This book is the record of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham, beginning with the family line:
2 Abrahamit i lindi Isaku; Isakut i lindi Jakobi; Jakobit i lindi Juda dhe vëllezërit e tij.
Abraham was the father of Isaac; and Isaac the father of Jacob; and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers;
3 Judës i lindi nga Tamara Faresi dhe Zara; Faresit i lindi Esromi; Esromit i lindi Arami;
and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah (their mother was Tamar); and Perez the father of Hezron; and Hezron the father of Ram;
4 Aramit i lindi Aminadabi; Aminadabit i lindi Naasoni; Naasonit i lindi Salmoni.

5 Salmonit i lindi Boozi nga Rahabi; Boozit i lindi Obedi nga Ruthi; Obedit i lindi Jeseu.
and Salmon the father of Boaz (his mother was Rahab); and Boaz the father of Obed (his mother was Ruth); and Obed the father of Jesse;
6 Jeseut i lindi Davidi mbret; mbretit David i lindi Salomoni nga ajo që kishte qenë bashkëshortja e Urias.
and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon (his mother had been Uriah's wife);
7 Salomonit i lindi Roboami; Roboamit i lindi Abia; Abias i lindi Asai.
and Solomon the father of Rehoboam; and Rehoboam the father of Abijah; and Abijah the father of Asa;
8 Asait i lindi Jozafati; Jozafatit i lindi Jorami; Joramit i lindi Ozia.
and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram; and Jehoram the father of Uzziah;
9 Ozias i lindi Joatami; Joatamit i lindi Akazi; Akazit i lindi Ezekia.
and Uzziah the father of Jotham; and Jotham the father of Ahaz; and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
10 Ezekias i lindi Manaseu; Manaseut i lindi Amoni; Amonit i lindi Josia.
and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh; and Manasseh the father of Amon; and Amon the father of Josiah;
11 Josias i lindi Jekonia dhe vëllezërit e tij në kohën e internimit në Babiloni.
and Josiah the father of Jehoiachin and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 Pas internimit në Babiloni Jekonias i lindi Salatieli; Salatielit i lindi Zorobabeli.
After the exile to Babylon, Jehoiachin was the father of Shealtiel; and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel;
13 Zorobabelit i lindi Abiudi; Abiudit i lindi Eliakimi; Eliakimit i lindi Azori.
and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud; and Abiud the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim the father of Azor;
14 Azorit i lindi Sadoku; Sadokut i lindi Akimi; Akimit i lindi Eliudi.
and Azor the father of Zadok; and Zadok the father of Akim; and Akim the father of Eliud;
15 Eliudit i lindi Eleazari, Eleazarit i lindi Matthani, Matthanit i lindi Jakobi.
and Eliud the father of Eleazar; and Eleazar the father of Matthan; and Matthan the father of Jacob;
16 Jakobit i lindi Jozefi, bashkëshorti i Marisë, nga e cila lindi Jezusi, që quhet Krisht.
and Jacob was the father of Joseph, who was the husband of Mary, to whom Jesus was born, the one who is called the Messiah.
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 add up to fourteen; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen; and from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah, fourteen.
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.
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened. His mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, but before they slept together she became pregnant 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.
Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and didn't want to shame her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement discreetly.
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.
While he was thinking about all of this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him, “Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to marry Mary because she is pregnant by 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”.
She will give birth to a son and you shall call him Jesus, for he will save people from their sins.”
22 E gjithë kjo ndodhi që të përmbushej fjala e Zotit, e thënë me anë të profetit që thotë:
(Now this all happened to fulfill what the Lord said through the prophet:
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””.
“A virgin will become pregnant, and will give birth to a son. They will call him Immanuel,” which means “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;
Joseph woke up and did what the angel of the Lord told him to do.
25 por ai nuk e njohu, derisa ajo lindi djalin e saj të parëlindur, të cilit ia vuri emrin Jezus.
Joseph married Mary, but did not sleep with her until after she had given birth to a son, whom he named Jesus.
