Matthew 1
1 The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ, —Son of David, Son of Abraham.
Men non zansèt Jezikri ki te pitit pitit David, pitit pitit Abraram.
2 Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob, begat Judah and his brethren;
Abraram te papa Izarak; Izarak te papa Jakòb; Jakòb te papa Jida ak lòt frè l' yo.
3 And Judah begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram;
Jida menm te papa Perèz ak Zara. Se Tama ki te manman yo. Perèz te papa Eswòm; Eswòm te papa Aram.
4 And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon begat Salmon;
Aram te papa Amenadab; Amenadab te papa Naason; Naason te papa Salmon.
5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse;
Salmon te papa Boaz. Se Raab ki te manman Boaz. Boaz te papa Obèd. Se Rit ki te manman Obèd.
6 And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
Obèd te papa Izayi, Izayi te papa wa David. David te papa Salomon. Se Madan Ouri ki te manman Salomon.
7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa;
Salomon te papa Woboram; Woboram te papa Abya; Abya te papa Asa.
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah;
Asa te papa Jozafa; Jozafa te papa Joram; Joram te papa Ozyas;
9 And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah:
Ozyas te papa Joatam; Joatam te papa Akaz; Akaz te papa Ezekyas;
10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah;
Ezekyas te papa Manase; Manase te papa Amon; Amon te papa Jozyas;
11 And Josiah begat Jechoniah, and his brethren, —upon the removal to Babylon.
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.
12 And, after the removal to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
Apre yo te fin mennen yo ale lavil Babilòn, Jekonyas te fè Salatyèl. Salatyèl te papa Zowobabèl;
13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor;
Zowobabèl te papa Abiyoud; Abiyoud te papa Elyakim; Elyakim te papa Azò;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud;
Azò te papa Sadòk; Sadòk te papa Akim; Akim te papa Eliyoud;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob; —
Eliyoud te papa Eleaza; Eleaza te papa Matan; Matan te papa Jakòb;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, —who is called Christ.
Jakòb te papa Jozèf. Se Jozèf sa a ki te marye ak Mari, manman Jezi yo rele Kris la.
17 So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.
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.
18 Now the birth, of [Jesus] Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, —before they came together, she was found with child by [the] Holy Spirit.
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.
19 Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her, —intended, privately, to divorce her.
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.
20 But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, —Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of [the], Holy, Spirit.
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.
21 Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, —for, he, will save his people from their sins.
Li pral fè yon pitit gason. Wa rele l' Jezi. Se li menm ki pral delivre pèp li a anba peche l' yo.
22 But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:
Tou sa pase konsa pou pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch pwofèt la te ka rive vre. Men sa l' te di:
23 Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, —and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.
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.)
24 And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, —and took unto him his wife;
Lè Jozèf leve nan dòmi an, li fè tou sa zanj Bondye a te di l' fè: li pran madanm li lakay li.
25 and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, —and he called his name Jesus.
Men, Jozèf pa t' kouche ak Mari, jouk lè li te fin akouche yon ti gason. Jozèf te rele pitit la Jezi.
