1 Book of the generation of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.

2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Juda and his brethren;

3 and Juda 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 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, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon.

12 And after the carrying away of 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 Eliazar, and Eliazar 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 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David {were} fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of {the} Holy Spirit.

19 But Joseph, her husband, being {a} righteous {man}, and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;

20 but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of {the} Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to {thee} Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of {the} Holy Spirit.

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 came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by {the} Lord, through the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, 'God with us.'

24 But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of {the} Lord had enjoined him, and took to {him} his wife,

25 and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

2 Aabrahamile sündis Iisak, Iisakile sündis Jaakob, Jaakobile sündisid Juuda ja Tema vennad;

3 Juudale sündisid Taamarist Perets ja Serah, Peretsile sündis Hesrom, Hesromile sündis Aram;

4 Aramile sündis Amminaadab, Amminaadabile sündis Nahson, Nahsonile sündis Salmon;

5 Salmonile sündis Raahabist Boas, Boasele sündis Rutist Oobed, Oobedile sündis Jesse;

6 Jessele sündis kuningas Taavet; Taavetile sündis Uurija naisest Saalomon;

7 Saalomonile sündis Rehabeam, Rehabeamile sündis Abija, Abijale sündis Aasa;

8 Aasale sündis Joosafat, Joosafatile sündis Jooram, Jooramile sündis Ussija;

9 Ussijale sündis Jootam, Jootamile sündis Ahas, Ahasele sündis Hiskija;

10 Hiskijale sündis Manasse, Manassele sündis Aamos, Aamosele sündis Joosija;

11 Joosijale sündisid Jekonja ja tema vennad Baabüloni vangipõlve ajal.

12 Pärast Baabüloni vangipõlve sündis Jekonjale Sealtiel, Sealtielile sündis Serubbaabel;

13

14 Asurile sündis Saadok, Saadokile sündis Aahim, Aahimile sündis Elihuud;

15 Elihuudile sündis Eleasar, Eleasarile sündis Mattan, Mattanile sündis Jaakob;

16 Jaakobile sündis Joosep, Maarja mees; ja Maarjast sündis Jeesus, Keda nimetatakse Kristuseks.

17 Kõiki põlvi Aabrahamist Taavetini on siis neliteistkümmend põlve; ja Taavetist Baabüloni vangipõlve ajani on neliteistkümmend põlve; ja Baabüloni vangipõlvest Kristuseni on neliteistkümmend põlve.

18 Aga Jeesuse Kristuse sündimine oli nõnda: kui Ta Ema Maarja oli kihlatud Joosepiga, siis Ta leiti enne nende kokkusaamist käima peal olevat Pühast Vaimust.

19 Aga et Tema mees Joosep oli õiglane ega tahtnud Teda saata häbisse, siis Ta võttis nõuks salaja Tema hüljata.

20 Ent kui temal see mõte oli, vaata, siis ilmus talle Issanda ingel unes ja ütles: „Joosep, Taaveti poeg, ära karda Maarjat, Oma naist, enese juure võtta, sest mis Temas on sündinud, on Pühast Vaimust.

21 Ta toob ilmale Poja ja Sa pead Temale nimeks panema Jeesus; sest Tema päästab Oma rahva nende pattudest!"

22 Aga see kõik on sündinud, et läheks täide, mis Issand on rääkinud prohveti kaudu, kes ütleb:

23 „Ennäe, Neitsi saab käima peale ning toob Poja ilmale, ja Temale peab pandama nimeks Immaanuel", see on meie keeli: Jumal meiega.

24 Kui Joosep unest ärkas, siis Ta tegi nõnda, kuidas Issanda Ingel Teda oli käskinud ning võttis Oma naise enese juure

25 ega puutunud Temasse, enne kui Ta oli ilmale toonud Poja. Ja Ta pani Temale nimeks Jeesus.
