2 Abraão gerou Isaque; Isaque gerou Jacó; Jacó gerou Judá e os seus irmãos; 3 Judá gerou Perez e Zera, cuja mãe foi Tamar; Perez gerou Esrom; Esrom gerou Arão; 4 Arão gerou Aminadabe; Aminadabe gerou Naassom; Naassom gerou Salmom; 5 Salmom gerou Boaz, cuja mãe foi Raabe; Boaz gerou Obede, cuja mãe foi Rute; e Obede gerou Jessé; 6 Jessé gerou o rei Davi; e o rei Davi gerou Salomão, cuja mãe foi aquela que tinha sido mulher de Urias; 7 Salomão gerou Roboão; Roboão gerou Abias; Abias gerou Asa; 8 Asa gerou Josafá; Josafá gerou Jorão; Jorão gerou Uzias; 9 Uzias gerou Jotão; Jotão gerou Acaz; Acaz gerou Ezequias; 10 Ezequias gerou Manassés; Manassés gerou Amom; Amom gerou Josias; 11 Josias gerou Jeconias e os seus irmãos, no tempo do exílio na Babilônia.

12 Depois do exílio na Babilônia, Jeconias gerou Salatiel; e Salatiel gerou Zorobabel; 13 Zorobabel gerou Abiúde; Abiúde gerou Eliaquim; Eliaquim gerou Azor; 14 Azor gerou Sadoque; Sadoque gerou Aquim; Aquim gerou Eliúde; 15 Eliúde gerou Eleazar; Eleazar gerou Matã; Matã gerou Jacó. 16 E Jacó gerou José, marido de Maria, da qual nasceu Jesus, que se chama o Cristo.

17 Assim, todas as gerações, desde Abraão até Davi, são catorze; desde Davi até o exílio na Babilônia, catorze gerações; e desde o exílio na Babilônia até Cristo, catorze gerações.

18 O nascimento de Jesus Cristo foi assim: Maria, a sua mãe, estava comprometida para casar com José. Mas, antes de se unirem, ela se achou grávida pelo Espírito Santo. 19 José, com quem Maria estava para casar, sendo um homem justo e não querendo envergonhá-la em público, resolveu deixá-la sem que ninguém soubesse. 20 Enquanto ele refletia sobre isso, eis que lhe apareceu em sonho um anjo do Senhor, dizendo:

— José, filho de Davi, não tenha medo de receber Maria como esposa, porque o que nela foi gerado é do Espírito Santo. 21 Ela dará à luz um filho e você porá nele o nome de Jesus, porque ele salvará o seu povo dos pecados deles.

22 Ora, tudo isto aconteceu para se cumprir o que foi dito pelo Senhor por meio do profeta:

23 "Eis que a virgem conceberá

e dará à luz um filho,

e ele será chamado pelo nome

de Emanuel."

("Emanuel" significa: "Deus conosco".)

24 Quando José despertou do sono, fez como o anjo do Senhor lhe havia ordenado e recebeu Maria por esposa. 25 Porém não teve relações com ela enquanto ela não deu à luz um filho, a quem pôs o nome de Jesus.

1 The list of ancestors of Jesus Christ, descendant of David and Abraham:2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.3 Judah and Tamar were the father and mother of Perez and Zerah. Perez was the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram,4 Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon.5 Salmon and Rahab were the father and mother of Boaz. Boaz and Ruth were the father and mother of Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse,6 Jesse the father of King David. David and Uriah’s wife Bath-sheba were the father and mother of Solomon.7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa,8 Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah,9 Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,10 Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah.11 Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers. They lived at the time when the people were exiled to Babylon.12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel,13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor,14 Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud,15 Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob.16 Jacob was the father of Joseph, who was the husband of Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called Christ the Anointed.17 So there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David until the exile to Babylon, fourteen generations from the exile until the Messiah.18 The birth genesis: originbeginning of Jesus Christ was as follows: His mother Mary had been promised to Joseph in marriage. But before they were married, Mary realized that she was pregnant by Holy Spirit.19 Her husband Joseph was an honorable man and did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to break the marriage agreement with her secretly.20 Joseph had this in mind when God’s angel appeared to him in a dream. The angel said to him: »Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is pregnant by Holy Spirit.21 »She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus »Jehovah is salvation« , because he will save his people from their sins.«22 All this happened so that what God spoke through the prophet came true:23 »The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,« which means: »God God-like one is with us.« (John 1:18)24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of God had commanded him to do. He took Mary to be his wife.25 He did not have marital relations with her before she gave birth to a son. Joseph named the child Jesus.
