1 Livro da geração de Jesus Cristo, filho de Davi, filho de Abraão.2 Abraão gerou a Isaque; Isaque gerou a Jacó; Jacó gerou a Judá e a seus irmãos;3 Judá gerou de Tamar a Perez e a Zara; Perez gerou a Esrom; Esrom gerou a Arão;4 Arão gerou a Aminadabe; Aminadabe gerou a Naassom; Naassom gerou a Salmom;5 Salmom gerou de Raabe a Boaz; Boaz gerou de Rute a Obede; Obede gerou a Jessé,6 e Jessé gerou ao rei Davi. Davi gerou a Salomão daquela que fora mulher de Urias;7 Salomão gerou a Roboão; Roboão gerou a Abias; Abias gerou a Asa;8 Asa gerou a Josafá; Josafá gerou a Jorão; Jorão gerou a Uzias;9 Uzias gerou a Jotão; Jotão gerou a Acaz; Acaz gerou a Ezequias10 Ezequias gerou a Manassés; Manassés gerou a Amom; Amom gerou a Josias,11 e Josias gerou a Jeconias e a seus irmãos no tempo do exílio em Babilônia.12 Depois do exílio em Babilônia, Jeconias gerou a Salatiel; Salatiel gerou a Zorobabel;13 Zorobabel gerou a Abiúde; Abiúde gerou a Eliaquim; Eliaquim gerou a Azor;14 Azor gerou a Sadoque; Sadoque gerou a Aquim; Aquim gerou a Eliúde;15 Eliúde gerou a Eleazar; Eleazar gerou a Matã; Matã gerou a Jacó,16 e Jacó gerou a José, esposo de Maria, da qual nasceu Jesus, que se chama Cristo.17 Assim todas as gerações desde Abraão até Davi são catorze gerações; também desde Davi até o exílio em Babilônia, catorze gerações; e desde o exílio em Babilônia até o Cristo, catorze gerações.18 Ora o nascimento de Jesus Cristo foi desta maneira: Estando Maria, sua mãe, já desposada com José, antes que se ajuntassem, ela se achou grávida por virtude do Espírito Santo.19 José, seu marido, sendo reto e não a querendo infamar, resolveu deixá-la secretamente.20 Quando, porém, pensava nestas coisas, eis que um anjo do Senhor lhe apareceu em sonhos, dizendo: José, filho de Davi, não temas receber a Maria, tua mulher; pois o que nela foi gerado, é por virtude do Espírito Santo.21 Ela dará à luz um filho, a quem chamarás JESUS; porque ele salvará o seu povo dos pecados deles.22 Ora tudo isto aconteceu, para que se cumprisse o que dissera o Senhor pelo profeta:23 Eis que a virgem conceberá e dará à luz um filho, E ele será chamado Emanuel, que quer dizer, Deus conosco.24 José, tendo despertado do sono, fez como o anjo do Senhor lhe ordenara, e recebeu sua mulher;25 e não a conheceu enquanto ela não deu à luz um filho, a quem pôs o nome de JESUS.

1 This is a record of the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.2 Abraham fathered Isaac, Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers.3 Judah fathered Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez fathered Hezron, Hezron fathered Aram,4 Aram fathered Aminidab, Aminidab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon.5 Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse,6 and Jesse fathered King David.David fathered Solomon by the wife of Uriah,7 Solomon fathered Rehoboam, Rehoboam fathered Abijah, Abijah fathered Asaph,8 Asaph fathered Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat fathered Joram, Joram fathered Uzziah,9 Uzziah fathered Jotham, Jotham fathered Ahaz, Ahaz fathered Hezekiah,10 Hezekiah fathered Manasseh, Manasseh fathered Amos, and Amos fathered Josiah.11 Josiah fathered Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the deportation to Babylon.12 After the deportation to Babylon, Jechoniah fathered Salathiel, Salathiel fathered Zerubbabel,13 Zerubbabel fathered Abiud, Abiud fathered Eliakim, Eliakim fathered Azor,14 Azor fathered Zadok, Zadok fathered Achim, Achim fathered Eliud,15 Eliud fathered Eleazar, Eleazar fathered Matthan, and Matthan fathered Jacob.16 Jacob fathered Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Christ.17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon were fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ were fourteen generations.18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.19 Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.20 After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins."22 Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said,23 "See, a virgin will become pregnantand give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,"which means, "God with us."24 When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife.25 He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus.
