فصل 1-فصل 2

1  کتاب نسب نامه عیسی مسیح بن داود بن ابراهیم،
2  ابراهیم اسحاق را آورد و اسحاق یعقوب را آورد و یعقوب یهودا و برادران او را آورد.
3  و یهودا، فارَص و زارَح را از تامار آورد و فارَص، حَصْرون را آورد و حَصْرون، اَرام را آورد.
4  و اَرام، عَمِّیناداب را آورد و عَمّیناداب، نَحشون را آورد و نَحْشون، شَلْمون را آورد.
5  و شَلْمون، بوعَز را از راحاب آورد و بوعَز، عوبید را از راعوت آورد و عوبید، یَسّا را آورد.
6  و یَسّا داود پادشاه را آورد و داود پادشاه، سلیمان را از زن اوریّا آورد.
7  و سلیمان، رَحَبْعام را آورد و رَحبْعام، اَبِیَّا را آورد و اَبِیّا، آسا را آورد.
8  و آسا، یَهوشافاط را آورد و یَهوشافاط، یورام را آورد و یورام، عُزیّا را آورد.
9  و عُزیّا، یوتام را آورد و یوتام، اَحاز را آورد و اَحاز، حِزْقیَّا را آورد.
10  و حِزْقیّا، مَنَسّی را آورد و مَنَسّی، آمون را آورد و آمون، یوشیّا را آورد.
11  و یوشیَّا، یَکُنیا و برادرانش را در زمان جلای بابِل آورد.
12  و بعد از جلای بابل، یَکُنْیا، سَألْتیئیل را آورد و سَأَلْتیئیل، زَرُوبابِل را آورد.
13  زَرُوبابِل، اَبیهود را آورد و اَبیهود، ایلیاقیم را آورد و ایلیاقیم، عازور را آورد.
14  و عازور، صادوق را آورد و صادوق، یاکین را آورد و یاکین، ایلَیهُود را آورد.
15  و ایلیهود، ایلعازَر را آورد و ایلعازَر، مَتّان را آورد و مَتّان، یعقوب را آورد.
16  و یعقوب، یوسف شوهر مریم را آورد که عیسی مُسمّیٰ به مسیح از او متولّد شد.
17  پس تمام طبقات، از ابراهیم تا داود چهارده طبقه است، و از داود تا جلای بابِل چهارده طبقه، و از جلای بابِل تا مسیح چهارده طبقه.
18  امّا ولادت عیسی مسیح چنین بود که چون مادرش مریم به یوسف نامزد شده بود، قبل از آنکه با هم آیند، او را از روح‌القدس حامله یافتند.
19  و شوهرش یوسف چونکه مرد صالح بود و نخواست او را عبرت نماید، پس اراده نمود او را به پنهانی رها کند.
20  امّا چون او در این چیزها تفکّر می‌کرد، ناگاه فرشته خداوند در خواب بر وی ظاهر شده، گفت، ای یوسف پسر داود، از گرفتن زن خویش مریم مترس، زیرا که آنچه در وی قرار گرفته است، از روح‌القدس است.
21  و او پسری خواهد زایید و نام او را عیسی خواهی نهاد، زیرا که او امّت خویش را از گناهانشان خواهد رهانید.
22  ،و این همه برای آن واقع شد تا کلامی که خداوند به زبان نبی گفته بود، تمام گردد،
23  که اینک، باکره آبستن شده پسری خواهد زایید و نام او را عمّانوئیل خواهند خواند که تفسیرش این است، خدا با ما.
24  پس چون یوسف از خواب بیدار شد، چنانکه فرشتهٔ خداوند بدو امر کرده بود، به عمل آورد و زن خویش را گرفت
25  و تا پسر نخستین خود را نزایید، او را نشناخت؛ و او را عیسی نام نهاد.

فصل   2

1  و چون عیسی در ایّام هیرودیسِ پادشاه در بیتْ‌لَحِم یهودیه تولّد یافت، ناگاه مجوسی چند از مشرق به اُورْشلیم آمده، گفتند،
2  کجاست آن مولود که پادشاه یهود است زیرا که ستاره او را در مشرق دیده‌ایم و برای پرستش او آمده‌ایم؟
3  امّا هیرودیس پادشاه چون این را شنید، مضطرب شد و تمام اُوْرشلیم با وی.
4  پس همهٔ رؤسایِ کَهَنه و کاتبانِ قوم را جمع کرده، از ایشان پرسید که، مسیح کجا باید متولّد شود؟
5  بدو گفتند، در بیت لحمِ یهودیّه زیرا که از نبی چنین مکتوب است،
6  و تو ای بیت لحم، در زمین یهودا از سایر سرداران یهودا هرگز کوچکتر نیستی، زیرا که از تو پیشوایی به ظهور خواهد آمد که قوم من اسرائیل را رعایت خواهد نمود.
7  آنگاه هیرودیس مجوسیان را در خلوت خوانده، وقت ظهور ستاره را از ایشان تحقیق کرد.
8  پس ایشان را به بیت‌لحم روانه نموده، گفت، بروید و از احوال آن طفل بتد قیق تفحّص کنید و چون یافتید مرا خبر دهید تا من نیز آمده، او را پرستش نمایم.
9  چون سخن پادشاه را شنیدند، روانه شدند که ناگاه آن ستاره‌ای که در مشرق دیده بودند، پیش روی ایشان می‌رفت تا فوق آنجایی که طفل بود رسیده، بایستاد.
10  و چون ستاره را دیدند، بی‌نهایت شاد و خوشحال گشتند
11  و به خانه درآمده، طفل را با مادرش مریم یافتند و به روی در افتاده، او را پرستش کردند و ذخایر خود را گشوده، هدایای طلا و کُنْدُر و مُّر به وی گذرانیدند.
12  و چون در خواب وحی بدیشان در رسید که به نزد هیرودیس بازگشت نکنند، پس از راه دیگر به وطن خویش مراجعت کردند.
13  و چون ایشان روانه شدند، ناگاه فرشته خداوند در خواب به یوسف ظاهر شده، گفت، برخیز و طفل و مادرش را برداشته به مصر فرار کن و در آنجا باش تا به تو خبر دهم، زیرا که هیرودیس طفل را جستجو خواهد کرد تا او را هلاک نماید.
14  پس شبانگاه برخاسته، طفل و مادر او را برداشته، بسوی مصر روانه شد
15  و تا وفات هیرودیس در آنجا بماند، تا کلامی که خداوند به زبان نبی گفته بود تمام گردد که، از مصر پسر خود را خواندم.
16  چون هیرودیس دید که مجوسیان او را سُخْریّه نموده‌اند، بسیار غضبناک شده، فرستاد و جمیع اطفالی را که در بیت لحم و تمام نواحی آن بودند، از دو ساله و کمتر موافق وقتی که از مجوسیان تحقیق نموده بود، به قتل رسانید.
17  آنگاه کلامی که به زبان اِرمیای نبی گفته شده بود، تمام شد،
18  آوازی در رامه شنیده شد، گریه و زاری و ماتم عظیم که راحیل برای فرزندان خود گریه می‌کند و تسلّی نمی‌پذیرد زیرا که نیستند.
19  امّا چون هیرودیس وفات یافت، ناگاه فرشته خداوند در مصر به یوسف در خواب ظاهر شده، گفت،
20  برخیز و طفل و مادرش را برداشته، به زمین اسرائیل روانه شو زیرا آنانی که قصد جان طفل داشتند فوت شدند.
21  پس برخاسته، طفل و مادر او را برداشت و به زمین اسرائیل آمد.
22  امّا چون شنید که اَرْکلاؤُس به جای پدر خود هیرودیس بر یهودیه پادشاهی می‌کند، از رفتن بدان سمت ترسید و در خواب وحی یافته، به نواحی جلیل برگشت.

23  و آمده در بَلْده‌ای مسمّیٰ به ناصره ساکن شد، تا آنچه به زبان انبیا گفته شده بود تمام شود که، به ناصری خوانده خواهد شد.

Matthew 1

1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; 3and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram; 4and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon; 5and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6and Jesse begat David the king.

And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah; 7and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa; 8and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah; 9and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah; 10and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah; 11and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.

12And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; 13and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

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

18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. 22Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 23Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel;

which is, being interpreted, God with us. 24And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; 25and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.

Matthew 2

1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, 2Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. 5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through the prophet, 6And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

7Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared. 8And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found i bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. 9And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned [of God] in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

13Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt; 15and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.

16Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men. 17Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 18A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.

19But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, 20Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child’s life. 21And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee, 23and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene

Matthew 3

1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. 3And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. 4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:

and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. 8Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

12Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee; 13and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: 14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, 15The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, 16The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.

17From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they straightway left the nets, and followed him. 21And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.

23And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people. 24And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. 25And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and [from] beyond the Jordan

Matthew 4

1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. 3And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. 4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:

and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. 8Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

12Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee; 13and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: 14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, 15The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, 16The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.

17From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they straightway left the nets, and followed him. 21And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.

23And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people. 24And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. 25And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and [from] beyond the Jordan
