1 Jesu Kristi, Davids sønns, Abrahams sønns ættetavle:
2 Abraham fikk sønnen Isak; Isak fikk sønnen Jakob; Jakob fikk Juda og hans brødre;
3 Juda fikk sønnene Peres og Serah med Tamar; Peres fikk sønnen Hesron; Hesron fikk sønnen Ram;
4 Ram fikk sønnen Aminadab; Aminadab fikk sønnen Nahson; Nahson fikk sønnen Salmon;
5 Salmon fikk sønnen Boas med Rahab; Boas fikk sønnen Obed med Rut; Obed fikk sønnen Isai;
6 Isai var far til kong David. David fikk sønnen Salomo med Urias hustru;
7 Salomo fikk sønnen Rehabeam; Rehabeam fikk sønnen Abia; Abia fikk sønnen Asa;
8 Asa fikk sønnen Josafat; Josafat fikk sønnen Joram; Joram fikk sønnen Ussias;
9 Ussias fikk sønnen Jotam; Jotam fikk sønnen Akas; Akas fikk sønnen Esekias;
10 Esekias fikk sønnen Manasse; Manasse fikk sønnen Amon; Amon fikk sønnen Josias;
11 Josias fikk Jekonja og hans brødre ved den tid da folket blev bortført til Babylon.

14 Asor fikk sønnen Sadok; Sadok fikk sønnen Akim; Akim fikk sønnen Eliud;
15 Eliud fikk sønnen Eleasar; Eleasar fikk sønnen Mattan; Mattan fikk sønnen Jakob;
16 Jakob var far til Josef, Marias mann, og av henne blev Jesus født, han som kalles Kristus.
17 Således er alle ætt-leddene fra Abraham inntil David fjorten ledd, og fra David inntil bortførelsen til Babylon fjorten ledd, og fra bortførelsen til Babylon inntil Kristus fjorten ledd.
18 Men med Jesu Kristi fødsel gikk det således til: Da hans mor Maria var trolovet med Josef, viste det sig, før de var kommet sammen, at hun var fruktsommelig ved den Hellige Ånd.
19 Men Josef, hennes mann, som var rettferdig og ikke vilde føre skam over henne, vilde skille sig fra henne i stillhet.
20 Mens han nu grundet på dette, se, da åpenbarte Herrens engel sig for ham i en drøm og sa: Josef, Davids sønn! frykt ikke for å ta din hustru Maria til dig! for det som er avlet i henne, er av den Hellige Ånd;
21 og hun skal føde en sønn, og du skal kalle ham Jesus; for han skal frelse sitt folk fra deres synder.
22 Men alt dette skjedde forat det skulde opfylles som er talt av Herren ved profeten, som sier:
23 Se, en jomfru skal bli fruktsommelig og føde en sønn, og han skal kalles Immanuel, det er utlagt: Gud med oss.
24 Da nu Josef var våknet op av søvnen, gjorde han som Herrens engel hadde pålagt ham, og tok sin hustru til sig.
25 Og han holdt sig ikke til henne før hun hadde født sin sønn, og han kalte ham Jesus.
1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram. 4 Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon. 5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse. 6 Jesse became the father of King David. David became the father of Solomon by her who had been Uriah’s wife. 7 Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa. 8 Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah. 9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah. 10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah. 11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor. 14 Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud. 15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob. 16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly. 20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child,
and shall give birth to a son.
They shall call his name Immanuel,"
which is, being interpreted, "God with us."
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself; 25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
