5 And Salmon begot Booz of Rahab. And Booz begot Obed of Ruth. And Obed begot Jesse.
Salmon, de Rahab, engendra Booz; Booz, de Ruth, engendra Obed; Obed engendra Jessé; Jessé engendra le roi David.
6 And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.

12 And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias begot Salathiel. And Salathiel begot Zorobabel.
Et après la déportation à Babylone, Jéchonias engendra Salathiel; Salathiel engendra Zorobabel;

16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Et Jacob engendra Joseph, l'époux de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, qu'on appelle Christ.
17 So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
Il y a donc en tout quatorze générations depuis Abraham jusqu'à David, quatorze générations depuis David jusqu'à la déportation à Babylone, quatorze générations depuis la déportation à Babylone jusqu'au Christ.
18 Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
Or la naissance de Jésus-Christ arriva ainsi. Marie, sa mère, étant fiancée à Joseph, il se trouva, avant qu'ils eussent habité ensemble, qu'elle avait conçu par la vertu du Saint-Esprit.
19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
Joseph, son mari, qui était un homme juste, ne voulant pas la diffamer, résolut de la renvoyer secrètement.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
Comme il était dans cette pensée, voici qu'un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, et lui dit: " Joseph, fils de David, ne craint point de prendre avec toi Marie ton épouse, car ce qui est formé en elle est l'ouvrage du Saint-Esprit.
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
Et elle enfantera un fils, et tu lui donneras le nom de Jésus; car il sauvera son peuple de ses péchés. "
22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
Or tout cela arriva afin que fût accompli ce qu'avait dit le Seigneur par le prophète:
23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
" Voici que la Vierge concevra et enfantera un fils; et on le nommera Emmanuel, " c'est à dire Dieu avec nous.
24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
Réveillé de son sommeil, Joseph fit ce que l'ange du Seigneur lui avait commandé: il prit avec lui Marie son épouse.
25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Mais il ne la connut point jusqu'à ce qu'elle enfantât son fils premier-né, à qui il donna le nom de Jésus.
