1 Registro da genealogia de Jesus Cristo, filho de Davi, filho de Abraão:

2 Abraão gerou Isaque; Isaque gerou Jacó; Jacó gerou Judá e seus irmãos;

3 Judá gerou Perez e Zerá, 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; Obede gerou Jessé;

6 e Jessé gerou o rei Davi. Davi gerou Salomão, cuja mãe 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 e Josias gerou Jeconias e seus irmãos, no tempo do exílio na Babilônia.

12 Depois do exílio na Babilônia: Jeconias gerou Salatiel; 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 é chamado Cristo.

17 Assim, ao todo houve catorze gerações de Abraão a Davi, catorze de Davi até o exílio na Babilônia e catorze do exílio até o Cristo.

18 Foi assim o nascimento de Jesus Cristo: Maria, sua mãe, estava prometida em casamento a José, mas, antes que se unissem, achou-se grávida pelo Espírito Santo.

19 Por ser José, seu marido, um homem justo, e não querendo expô-la à desonra pública, pretendia anular o casamento secretamente.

20 Mas, depois de ter pensado nisso, apareceu-lhe um anjo do Senhor em sonho e disse: "José, filho de Davi, não tema receber Maria como sua esposa, pois o que nela foi gerado procede do Espírito Santo.

21 Ela dará à luz um filho, e você deverá dar-lhe o nome de Jesus, porque ele salvará o seu povo dos seus pecados".

22 Tudo isso aconteceu para que se cumprisse o que o Senhor dissera pelo profeta:

23 "A virgem ficará grávida e dará à luz um filho, e lhe chamarão Emanuel" que significa "Deus conosco".

24 Ao acordar, José fez o que o anjo do Senhor lhe tinha ordenado e recebeu Maria como sua esposa.

25 Mas não teve relações com ela enquanto ela não deu à luz um filho. E ele lhe pôs o nome de 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.
