1 The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;
3 And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;
4 And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
5 And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;
6 And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
8 And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
9 And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
10 And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
11 And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
12 And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
13 And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
14 And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
15 And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
16 And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
20 But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
22 Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23 See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
24 And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
25 And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
1 大卫的子孙， 亚伯拉罕的后裔， 耶稣基督的家谱：
2 亚伯拉罕生以撒， 以撒生雅各， 雅各生犹大和他的兄弟，
3 他玛给犹大生了法勒斯和谢拉， 法勒斯生希斯仑， 希斯仑生亚兰，
4 亚兰生亚米拿达， 亚米拿达生拿顺， 拿顺生撒门，
5 喇合给撒门生了波阿斯， 路得给波阿斯生了俄备得， 俄备得生耶西，
6 耶西生大卫王。乌利亚的妻子给大卫生了所罗门，
7 所罗门生罗波安， 罗波安生亚比雅， 亚比雅生亚撒，
8 亚撒生约沙法， 约沙法生约兰， 约兰生乌西雅，
9 乌西雅生约坦， 约坦生亚哈斯， 亚哈斯生希西家，
10 希西家生玛拿西， 玛拿西生亚们， 亚们生约西亚，
11 犹太人被掳到巴比伦的时候， 约西亚生耶哥尼雅和他的兄弟。
12 被掳到巴比伦以后， 耶哥尼雅生撒拉铁， 撒拉铁生所罗巴伯，
13 所罗巴伯生亚比玉， 亚比玉生以利亚敬， 以利亚敬生亚所，
14 亚所生撒督， 撒督生亚金， 亚金生以律，
15 以律生以利亚撒， 以利亚撒生马但， 马但生雅各，
16 雅各生约瑟， 就是马利亚的丈夫； 那称为基督的耶稣， 是马利亚所生的。
17 这样， 从亚伯拉罕到大卫， 一共是十四代； 从大卫到被掳到巴比伦的时候， 也是十四代； 从被掳到巴比伦的时候到基督， 又是十四代。
18 耶稣基督的降生是这样的： 耶稣的母亲马利亚许配了约瑟， 他们还没有成亲， 马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕。
19 她丈夫约瑟是个义人， 不愿张扬使她受辱， 就打算暗中与她解除婚约。
20 他一直想着这些事， 主的使者就在梦中向他显现， 说： "大卫的子孙约瑟， 只管放胆把你的妻子马利亚迎娶过来， 因为她怀的孕是从圣灵来的。
21 她必生一个儿子， 你要给他起名叫耶稣， 因为他要把自己的子民从罪恶中拯救出来。"
22 这整件事的发生， 是要应验主借着先知所说的：
23 "必有童女怀孕生子， 他的名要叫以马内利。"以马内利就是" 神与我们同在"的意思。
24 约瑟睡醒了， 就照着主的使者所吩咐的， 把妻子迎娶过来；
25 只是在孩子出生以前， 并没有与她同房。约瑟给孩子起名叫耶稣。
