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.

2 Aabrahamile sündis Iisak, Iisakile sündis Jaakob, Jaakobile sündisid Juuda ja Tema vennad;

3 Juudale sündisid Taamarist Perets ja Serah, Peretsile sündis Hesrom, Hesromile sündis Aram;

4 Aramile sündis Amminaadab, Amminaadabile sündis Nahson, Nahsonile sündis Salmon;

5 Salmonile sündis Raahabist Boas, Boasele sündis Rutist Oobed, Oobedile sündis Jesse;

6 Jessele sündis kuningas Taavet; Taavetile sündis Uurija naisest Saalomon;

7 Saalomonile sündis Rehabeam, Rehabeamile sündis Abija, Abijale sündis Aasa;

8 Aasale sündis Joosafat, Joosafatile sündis Jooram, Jooramile sündis Ussija;

9 Ussijale sündis Jootam, Jootamile sündis Ahas, Ahasele sündis Hiskija;

10 Hiskijale sündis Manasse, Manassele sündis Aamos, Aamosele sündis Joosija;

11 Joosijale sündisid Jekonja ja tema vennad Baabüloni vangipõlve ajal.

12 Pärast Baabüloni vangipõlve sündis Jekonjale Sealtiel, Sealtielile sündis Serubbaabel;

13

14 Asurile sündis Saadok, Saadokile sündis Aahim, Aahimile sündis Elihuud;

15 Elihuudile sündis Eleasar, Eleasarile sündis Mattan, Mattanile sündis Jaakob;

16 Jaakobile sündis Joosep, Maarja mees; ja Maarjast sündis Jeesus, Keda nimetatakse Kristuseks.

17 Kõiki põlvi Aabrahamist Taavetini on siis neliteistkümmend põlve; ja Taavetist Baabüloni vangipõlve ajani on neliteistkümmend põlve; ja Baabüloni vangipõlvest Kristuseni on neliteistkümmend põlve.

18 Aga Jeesuse Kristuse sündimine oli nõnda: kui Ta Ema Maarja oli kihlatud Joosepiga, siis Ta leiti enne nende kokkusaamist käima peal olevat Pühast Vaimust.

19 Aga et Tema mees Joosep oli õiglane ega tahtnud Teda saata häbisse, siis Ta võttis nõuks salaja Tema hüljata.

20 Ent kui temal see mõte oli, vaata, siis ilmus talle Issanda ingel unes ja ütles: „Joosep, Taaveti poeg, ära karda Maarjat, Oma naist, enese juure võtta, sest mis Temas on sündinud, on Pühast Vaimust.

21 Ta toob ilmale Poja ja Sa pead Temale nimeks panema Jeesus; sest Tema päästab Oma rahva nende pattudest!"

22 Aga see kõik on sündinud, et läheks täide, mis Issand on rääkinud prohveti kaudu, kes ütleb:

23 „Ennäe, Neitsi saab käima peale ning toob Poja ilmale, ja Temale peab pandama nimeks Immaanuel", see on meie keeli: Jumal meiega.

24 Kui Joosep unest ärkas, siis Ta tegi nõnda, kuidas Issanda Ingel Teda oli käskinud ning võttis Oma naise enese juure

25 ega puutunud Temasse, enne kui Ta oli ilmale toonud Poja. Ja Ta pani Temale nimeks Jeesus.
