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.
1 大卫的子孙， 亚伯拉罕的后裔， 耶稣基督的家谱：
2 亚伯拉罕生以撒， 以撒生雅各， 雅各生犹大和他的兄弟，
3 他玛给犹大生了法勒斯和谢拉， 法勒斯生希斯仑， 希斯仑生亚兰，
4 亚兰生亚米拿达， 亚米拿达生拿顺， 拿顺生撒门，
5 喇合给撒门生了波阿斯， 路得给波阿斯生了俄备得， 俄备得生耶西，
6 耶西生大卫王。乌利亚的妻子给大卫生了所罗门，
7 所罗门生罗波安， 罗波安生亚比雅， 亚比雅生亚撒，
8 亚撒生约沙法， 约沙法生约兰， 约兰生乌西雅，
9 乌西雅生约坦， 约坦生亚哈斯， 亚哈斯生希西家，
10 希西家生玛拿西， 玛拿西生亚们， 亚们生约西亚，
11 犹太人被掳到巴比伦的时候， 约西亚生耶哥尼雅和他的兄弟。
12 被掳到巴比伦以后， 耶哥尼雅生撒拉铁， 撒拉铁生所罗巴伯，
13 所罗巴伯生亚比玉， 亚比玉生以利亚敬， 以利亚敬生亚所，
14 亚所生撒督， 撒督生亚金， 亚金生以律，
15 以律生以利亚撒， 以利亚撒生马但， 马但生雅各，
16 雅各生约瑟， 就是马利亚的丈夫； 那称为基督的耶稣， 是马利亚所生的。
17 这样， 从亚伯拉罕到大卫， 一共是十四代； 从大卫到被掳到巴比伦的时候， 也是十四代； 从被掳到巴比伦的时候到基督， 又是十四代。
18 耶稣基督的降生是这样的： 耶稣的母亲马利亚许配了约瑟， 他们还没有成亲， 马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕。
19 她丈夫约瑟是个义人， 不愿张扬使她受辱， 就打算暗中与她解除婚约。
20 他一直想着这些事， 主的使者就在梦中向他显现， 说： "大卫的子孙约瑟， 只管放胆把你的妻子马利亚迎娶过来， 因为她怀的孕是从圣灵来的。
21 她必生一个儿子， 你要给他起名叫耶稣， 因为他要把自己的子民从罪恶中拯救出来。"
22 这整件事的发生， 是要应验主借着先知所说的：
23 "必有童女怀孕生子， 他的名要叫以马内利。"以马内利就是" 神与我们同在"的意思。
24 约瑟睡醒了， 就照着主的使者所吩咐的， 把妻子迎娶过来；
25 只是在孩子出生以前， 并没有与她同房。约瑟给孩子起名叫耶稣。
