1 A record of the genealogy of Yeshua the Messiah, 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 Miriam, from whom was born Yeshua, who is called Messiah.

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 Messiah, fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this: After his mother, Miriam, 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 Miriam 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 Yeshua, 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 Yeshua.

1 São estes os antepassados de Jesus Cristo, descendente do rei David e de Abraão:

2 Os descendentes de Abraão foram sucessivamente Isaque, Jacob, Judá mais os irmãos deste. Judá foi pai de Peres e de Zera. (Tamar foi a mãe de ambos.) Depois de Peres vieram Hezrom, Rão, Aminadabe, Nassom, Salmom, Boaz (cuja mãe foi Raabe), Obede (que teve por mãe Rute), Jessé, e o rei David seguir a David os descendentes foram Salomão (cuja mãe tinha sido mulher de Urias),

7 Reboão, Abias, Asa, Jeosafá, Jorão, Uzias, Jotão, Acaz, Ezequias, Manassés, Amom, Josias, Jeconias e seus irmãos (que nasceram quando os judeus foram deportados para Babilónia).

12 Depois desse exílio, a linha de descendência continuou sucessivamente com Jeconias, Salatiel, Zorobabel, Abiude, Eliaquim, Azor, Zadoque, Jaquim, Eliude, Eleazar, Matã, Jacob e por fim José, marido de Maria, mãe de Jesus Cristo, o Messias.

17 São catorze gerações desde Abraão até ao rei David; catorze desde o tempo do rei David até ao exílio em Babilónia; e catorze do exílio até Cristo.

18 Eis o que se passou antes do nascimento de Jesus Cristo: Maria, sua mãe, estava noiva de José, mas, embora fosse ainda virgem, ficou grávida, pelo Espírito Santo.

19 Então José, seu noivo, homem de princípios, decidiu pôr termo à promessa de casamento, querendo, porém, fazê-lo de tal modo que ela não ficasse com má fama entre o povo.

20 Estando ele a pensar no caso, teve um sonho no qual via um anjo de pé, ao seu lado, dizendo-lhe: José, filho de David, não tenhas medo de aceitar Maria como tua mulher! A criança que ela traz no ventre foi gerada pelo Espírito Santo. Ela terá um filho a quem porás o nome de Jesus, porque ele salvará o seu povo dos seus pecados. Assim se cumpriu a mensagem de Deus através dos seus profetas:

23 Emanuel quer dizer: Deus está connosco.

24 Quando acordou, José fez o que o anjo lhe mandara e levou Maria para casa como sua mulher. Mas ela continuou virgem até nascer o seu filho. José pôs-lhe o nome de Jesus.
