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 Genealogia di Gesù Cristo figliuolo di Davide, figliuolo dAbramo.
2 Abramo generò Isacco; Isacco generò Giacobbe; Giacobbe generò Giuda e i suoi fratelli;
3 Giuda generò Fares e Zara da Tamar; Fares generò Esrom; Esrom generò Aram;
4 Aram generò Aminadab; Aminadab generò Naasson; Naasson generò Salmon;
5 Salmon generò Booz da Rahab; Booz generò Obed da Ruth; Obed generò Iesse,
6 e Iesse generò Davide, il re. E Davide generò Salomone da quella chera stata moglie dUria;
7 Salomone generò Roboamo; Roboamo generò Abia; Abia generò Asa;
8 Asa generò Giosafat; Giosafat generò Ioram; Ioram generò Uzzia;
9 Uzzia generò Ioatam; Ioatam generò Achaz; Achaz generò Ezechia;
10 Ezechia generò Manasse; Manasse generò Amon; Amon generò Giosia;
11 Giosia generò Ieconia e i suoi fratelli al tempo della deportazione in Babilonia.
12 E dopo la deportazione in Babilonia, Ieconia generò Salatiel; Salatiel generò Zorobabel;
13 Zorobabel generò Abiud; Abiud generò Eliachim; Eliachim generò Azor;
14 Azor generò Sadoc; Sadoc generò Achim; Achim generò Eliud;
15 Eliud generò Eleazaro; Eleazaro generò Mattan; Mattan generò Giacobbe;
16 Giacobbe generò Giuseppe, il marito di Maria, dalla quale nacque Gesù, che è chiamato Cristo.
17 Così da Abramo fino a Davide sono in tutto quattordici generazioni; e da Davide fino alla deportazione in Babilonia, quattordici generazioni; e dalla deportazione in Babilonia fino a Cristo, quattordici generazioni.
18 Or la nascita di Gesù Cristo avvenne in questo modo. Maria, sua madre, era stata promessa sposa a iuseppe; e prima che fossero venuti a stare insieme, si trovò incinta per virtù dello Spirito Santo.
19 E Giuseppe, suo marito, essendo uomo giusto e non volendo esporla ad infamia, si propose di lasciarla occultamente.
20 Ma mentre avea queste cose nellanimo, ecco che un angelo del Signore gli apparve in sogno, dicendo: Giuseppe, figliuol di Davide, non temere di prender teco Maria tua moglie; perché ciò che in lei è generato, è dallo Spirito Santo.
21 Ed ella partorirà un figliuolo, e tu gli porrai nome Gesù, perché è lui che salverà il suo popolo dai loro peccati.
22 Or tutto ciò avvenne, affinché si adempiesse quello che era stato detto dal Signore per mezzo del profeta:
23 Ecco, la vergine sarà incinta e partorirà un figliuolo, al quale sarà posto nome Emmanuele, che, interpretato, vuol dire: "Iddio con noi".
24 E Giuseppe, destatosi dal sonno, fece come langelo del Signore gli avea comandato, e prese con sé sua moglie;
25 e non la conobbe finchella non ebbe partorito un figlio; e gli pose nome Gesù.
