Mateus 1

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,*1:1 Messiah (Hebrew) and Christ (Greek) both mean "Anointed One" the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2 Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram. 4 Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon. 5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse. 6 Jesse became the father of King David. David the king*1:6 NU omits "the king". became the father of Solomon by her who had been Uriah’s wife. 7 Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa. 8 Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah. 9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah. 10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah. 11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor. 14 Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud. 15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob. 16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus,*1:16 "Jesus" means "Salvation". who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly. 20 But when he thought about these things, behold,*1:20 "Behold", from "ἰδοὺ", means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus,*1:21 "Jesus" means "Salvation". for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."

22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child,

and shall give birth to a son.

They shall call his name Immanuel,"

which is, being interpreted, "God with us."✝1:23 Isaiah 7:14

24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself; 25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.

Te Whakapapa o Īhu Karaiti

1 Ko te pukapuka o te whakapapa o Īhu Karaiti, tama a Rāwiri, tama a Āperahama.

2 Nā, ko tā Āperahama ko Īhaka; tā Īhaka ko Hākopa; tā Hākopa ko Hūrā rātou ko ōna tuākana, ko ōna tēina; 3 tā Hūrā rāua ko Tāmara ko Parete rāua ko Hara; tā Parete ko Heteromo; tā Heteromo ko Arame; 4 tā Arame ko Aminarapa; tā Aminarapa ko Nāhona; tā Nāhona ko Haramono; 5 tā Haramono rāua ko Rahapa ko Poaha; tā Poaha rāua ko Rutu ko Ōpere; tā Ōpere ko Hehe; 6 tā Hehe ko Rāwiri, ko te kīngi.

Tā Rāwiri kīngi rāua ko te wahine a Uria ko Horomona; 7 tā Horomona ko Rehopoama; tā Rehopoama ko Apia; tā Apia ko Aha. 8 Tā Aha ko Iehohāpata; tā Iehohāpata ko Iorama; tā Iorama ko Ohiaha; 9 tā Ohiaha ko Iotama; tā Iotama ko Ahata; tā Ahata ko Hetekia; 10 tā Hetekia ko Mānahi; tā Mānahi ko Amono; tā Amono ko Hōhia; 11 tā Hōhia ko Hekonia rātou ko ōna tēina; i te wā o te whakahekenga ki Papurōna.

12 Ā, i muri i te whakahekenga atu ki Papurōna: ka whānau tā Hekonia ko Haratiera; tā Haratiera ko Herupapera; 13 tā Herupapera ko Apiuru; tā Apiuru ko Eriakimi; tā Eriakimi ko Ātoro; 14 tā Ātoro ko Hāroko; tā Hāroko ko Ākimi; tā Ākimi ko Eriuru; 15 tā Eriuru ko Ereātara; tā Ereātara ko Matana; tā Matana ko Hākopa; 16 tā Hākopa ko Hōhepa, ko te tahu a Meri; whānau ake tā Meri ko Īhu, e kīia nei ko te Karaiti.

17 Heoi, ko ngā whakatupuranga katoa o Āperahama tae noa ki a Rāwiri, tekau mā whā ngā whakatupuranga; o Rāwiri tae noa ki te whakahekenga ki Papurōna tekau mā whā ngā whakatupuranga; ā, nō te whakahekenga ki Papurōna tae noa ki a te Karaiti tekau mā whā ngā whakatupuranga.

Te Whānautanga o Īhu

18 Nā, ko te whānautanga tēnei o Īhu Karaiti; he mea taumau a Meri, tōna whaea, mā Hōhepa, ā, i te mea kīanō rāua i tata noa ki a rāua, ka kitea kua hapū ia i te Wairua Tapu. 19 Otirā, he tangata tika tāna tahu, a Hōhepa, ā, kāhore ōna ngākau kia whakakitea nuitia ia, ka mea kia whakarērea pukutia.

20 Otiia, i a ia e hurihuri ana i ēnei mea, nā, ka puta moemoeā mai tētahi anahera a te Ariki ki a ia, ka mea, "E Hōhepa, e te tama a Rāwiri, kaua e hopohopo ki te tango i a Meri, i tāu wahine; nā te Wairua Tapu hoki tōna hapū. 21 Ā, e whānau ia he tama, me hua e koe tōna ingoa ko Īhu; nō te mea māna e whakaora tōna iwi i ō rātou hara."

22 Nā, ka oti tēnei katoa, kātahi ka rite tā te Ariki, i kōrerotia e te poropiti, i mea ai ia, 23 "Nā, ka hapū te wāhina, ka whānau hoki he tama, ā, ka huaina e rātou tōna ingoa ko Emānuera," ko tōna whakamāoritanga tēnei, "Kei a tātou te Atua."

24 Ā, ka ara ake a Hōhepa i te moe, ka meatia e ia tā te anahera a te Ariki i whakahau ai ki a ia, ā, tango ana ia i tāna wahine. 25 Ā, kīhai i mōhio ki a ia, whānau noa tāna tama mātāmua; ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Īhu.
