Matthew Chapter 1
1 The Book of the Beginning of Jesus Messiah,
Son of-David, Son of-Abraham
| 2Abraham, father of | Isaac, father of | Jacob, father of |
| Judah and his brothers; | ||
| 3Judah was father of | Peres and Zerah by Tamar; | |
| Peres was father of | Hezron, father of | |
| Ram, 4father of | Amminadab, father of | Nahshon, father of |
| Salmon, 5father of | Boaz by Rahab; | |
| Boaz was father of | Obed by Ruth; | |
| Obed was father of | ||
| Jesse, 6father of | David the king. | |
| David was father of | ||
| Solomon by his wife, who | ||
| had been Uriah’s wife. | 7Solomon was father of | Rehoboam, father of |
| Abijah, father of | Asaph, 8father of | Jehoshaphat, father of |
| Joram, father of | Uzziah, 9father of | Jotham, father of |
| Ahaz, father of | Hezekiah, 10father of | Manasseh, father of |
| Amos, father of | Josiah, 11father of | Jechoniah and his brothers |
| at the exile to Babylon. | ||
| 12After the exile, | ||
| Jechoniah was father of | Shealtiel, father of | Zerubbabel, 13father of |
| Abiud, father of | Eliakim, father of | Azor, 14father of |
| Zadok, father of | Achim, father of | Eliud, 15father of |
| Eleazar, father of | Matthan, father of | Jacob, 16father of Joseph |
| husband of Mary, | ||
| who gave birth to Jesus, | ||
| called Messiah. | ||
17So all the generations from Abraham to David (are) fourteen generation, and from David to the carrying-off of-Babylon (are) fourteen generations, and from the carrying-off of-Babylon to [the] Messiah (are) fourteen generations.
18 The birth of-Jesus Messiah was thus. The mother of-him, Mary, having-been-engaged to-[the] Joseph, before2 their coming-together she-was-found having in (the) womb/pregnant by (the) Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph the husband of-her, being righteous and not willing to-make-a-public example-out-of her, planned to-divorce her privately. 20 And he having-thought-about these-things, behold (an) angel of-(the)-Lord in (a) dream appeared to-him, saying, “Joseph, son of-David, do┘not└be-afraid to-take Mary as-the wife of-you, for the-one begotten in her is from/by (the) Holy Spirit. 21 And she-will-bear (a) son, and you-will-call the name of-him Jesus; for he will-save the people of-him from the sins of-them.” 22 And this all has-happened in-order-that the-thing might-be-fulfilled spoken by (the) Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Behold, the/a virgin will-have-in (the) womb/will-be pregnant,
And she-will-bear (a) son,
And they-will-call the name of-him ‘Emmanuel,’”
that is, translated, ‘[The] God (is) with us.’
24 And [the] Joseph, having-arisen from [the] sleep, did as the angel of-the Lord commanded and took the wife of-him, 25 and did┘not└know her/have marital relations with her until2 she-bore (a) son, and he called the name of-him Jesus.
