Matthew 1: (YLT)
|
1) A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.
|
2) Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren,
|
3) and Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar, and Pharez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram,
|
4) and Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
|
5) and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse,
|
6) and Jesse begat David the king. And David the king begat Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah's,
|
7) and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa,
|
8) and Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah,
|
9) and Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah,
|
10) and Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah,
|
11) and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, at the Babylonian removal.
|
12) And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,
|
13) and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
|
14) and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud,
|
15) and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
|
16) and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
|
17) All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
|
18) And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
|
19) and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
|
20) And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,
|
21) and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'
|
22) And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
|
23) 'Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us [he is] God.'
|
24) And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
|
25) and did not know her till she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
