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 Le Livre de la Généalogie de Jésus-Christ, fils de David, fils d'Abraham.

2 Abraham engendra Isaac; et Isaac engendra Jacob; et Jacob engendra Juda, et ses frères;

3 Et Juda engendra Pharès et Zara, de Thamar; et Pharès engendra Esrom; et Esrom engendra Aram;

4 Et Aram engendra Aminadab; et Aminadab engendra Naasson; et Naasson engendra Salmon;

5 Et Salmon engendra Booz, de Rachab; et Booz engendra Obed, de Ruth; et Obed engendra Jessé;

6 Et Jessé engendra le Roi David; et le Roi David engendra Salomon, de celle [qui avait été femme] d'Urie;

7 Et Salomon engendra Roboam; et Roboam engendra Abia; et Abia engendra Asa;

8 Et Asa engendra Josaphat; et Josaphat engendra Joram; et Joram engendra Hozias;

9 Et Hozias engendra Joatham; et Joatham engendra Achaz; et Achaz engendra Ezéchias;

10 Et Ezéchias engendra Manassé; et Manassé engendra Amon; et Amon engendra Josias;

11 Et Josias engendra Jakim; et Jakim engendra Jéchonias, et ses frères, vers le temps qu'ils furent transportés en Babylone.

12 Et après qu'ils eurent été transportés en Babylone, Jéchonias engendra Salathiël; et Salathiël engendra Zorobabel;

13 Et Zorobabel engendra Abiud; et Abiud engendra Eliakim; et Eliakim engendra Azor;

14 Et Azor engendra Sadoc; et Sadoc engendra Achim; et Achim engendra Eliud;

15 Et Eliud engendra Eléazar; et Eléazar engendra Matthan; et Matthan engendra Jacob;

16 Et Jacob engendra Joseph, le mari de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, qui est appelé Christ.

17 Ainsi toutes les générations depuis Abraham jusqu'à David, sont quatorze générations; et depuis David jusqu'au temps qu'ils furent transportés en Babylone, quatorze générations; et depuis qu'ils eurent été transportés en Babylone jusqu'à Christ, quatorze générations.

18 Or la naissance de Jésus-Christ arriva en cette manière. Comme Marie sa mère eut été fiancée à Joseph, avant qu'ils fussent ensemble, elle se trouva enceinte [par l'opération] du Saint-Esprit.

19 Et Joseph son mari, parce qu'il était juste, et qu'il ne la voulait point diffamer, la voulut renvoyer secrètement.

20 Mais comme il pensait à ces choses, voici, l'Ange du Seigneur lui apparut dans un songe, et lui dit : Joseph, fils de David, ne crains point de recevoir Marie ta femme; car ce qui a été conçu en elle est du Saint-Esprit.

21 Et elle enfantera un fils, et tu appelleras son nom Jésus; car il sauvera son peuple de leurs péchés.

22 Or tout ceci est arrivé afin que fût accompli ce dont le Seigneur avait parlé par le Prophète, en disant :

23 Voici, la Vierge sera enceinte, et elle enfantera un fils; et on appellera son nom Emmanuël, ce qui signifie, DIEU AVEC NOUS.

24 Joseph étant donc réveillé de son sommeil, fit comme l'Ange du Seigneur lui avait commandé, et reçut sa femme.

25 Mais il ne la connut point jusqu'à ce qu'elle eût enfanté son fils premier-né; et il appela son nom Jésus.
