São Mateus 1

1 Genealogia de Jesus Cristo, filho de Davi, filho de Abraão.

2 Abraão gerou Isaac. Isaac gerou Jacó. Jacó gerou Judá e seus irmãos.

3 Judá gerou, de Tamar, Farés e Zara. Farés gerou Esron. Esron gerou Arão.

4 Arão gerou Aminadab. Aminadab gerou Naasson. Naasson gerou Salmon.

5 Salmon gerou Booz, de Raab. Booz gerou Obed, de Rute. Obed gerou Jessé. Jessé gerou o rei Davi.

6 O rei Davi gerou Salomão, da­quela que fora mulher de Urias.

7 Salomão gerou Roboão. Roboão gerou Abias. Abias gerou Asa.

8 Asa gerou Josafá. Josafá gerou Jorão. Jorão gerou Ozias.

9 Ozias gerou Joatão. Joatão gerou Acaz. Acaz gerou Ezequias.

10 Ezequias gerou Manassés. Manassés gerou Amon. Amon gerou Josias.

11 Josias gerou Jeconias e seus irmãos, no cativeiro da Babilônia.

12 E, depois do cativeiro da Babilônia, Jeconias gerou Salatiel. Salatiel gerou Zoro­babel.

13 Zorobabel gerou Abiud. Abiud gerou Eliacim. Eliacim gerou Azor.

14 Azor gerou Sadoc. Sadoc gerou Aquim. Aquim gerou Eliud.

15 Eliud gerou Eleazar. Eleazar gerou Matã. Matã gerou Jacó.

16 Jacó gerou José, esposo de Maria, da qual nasceu Jesus, que é chamado Cristo.

17 Portanto, as gerações, desde Abraão até Davi, são catorze. Desde Davi até o cativeiro da Babilônia, catorze gerações. E, depois do cati­veiro até Cristo, catorze gerações.

18 Eis como nasceu Jesus Cristo: Maria, sua mãe, estava desposada com José. Antes de coabitarem, aconteceu que ela concebeu por virtude do Espírito Santo.

19 José, seu esposo, que era homem de bem, não querendo difamá-la, resolveu rejeitá-la secretamente.

20 Enquanto assim pensava, eis que um anjo do Senhor lhe apareceu em sonhos e lhe disse: "José, filho de Davi, não temas receber Maria por esposa, pois o que nela foi concebido vem do Espírito Santo.

21 Ela dará à luz um filho, a quem porás o nome de Jesus, porque ele salvará o seu povo de seus pecados".

22 Tudo isto aconteceu para que se cumprisse o que o Senhor falou pelo profeta:

23 Eis que uma Virgem conceberá e dará à luz um filho, que se chamará Emanuel (Is 7,14), que significa: Deus conosco.

24 Despertando, José fez como o anjo do Senhor lhe havia mandado e recebeu em sua casa sua esposa.

25 E, sem que ele a tivesse conhecido, ela deu à luz o seu filho, que recebeu o nome de Jesus.

1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the 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 Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
