1 亞巴郎之子，達味之子耶穌基督的祖譜：
A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.
2 亞巴郎生依撒各，依撒各生雅各伯，雅各伯生猶大和他的兄弟們；
Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren,
3 猶由塔瑪爾生培勒茲和則辣黑，培勒茲生赫茲龍，赫茲龍生阿蘭，
and Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar, and Pharez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram,
4 阿蘭生阿米納達布，阿米納達布生納赫雄，納赫雄生撒爾孟，
and Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
5 撒爾孟由辣哈布生波阿次，波阿次由盧德生敖貝得，敖貝得生葉瑟，
and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse,
6 葉瑟生達味王。達味由烏黎雅的妻子生撒羅滿，
and Jesse begat David the king. And David the king begat Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah's,
7 撒羅滿生勒哈貝罕，勒哈貝罕生阿彼雅，阿彼雅生阿撒，
and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa,
8 阿撒生約沙法特，約沙法特生約蘭，約蘭生烏齊雅，
and Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah,
9 烏齊雅生約當，約當生阿哈次，阿哈次生希則克雅，
and Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah,
10 希則克雅生默納舍，默納舍生阿孟，阿孟生約史雅，
and Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah,
11 約史雅在巴比倫流徙期間生耶苛尼雅和他的兄弟們，
and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, at the Babylonian removal.
12 流徙巴比倫以後，耶苛尼雅生沙耳提耳，沙耳提耳生則魯巴比耳，
And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,
13 則魯巴比耳生阿彼鳥得，阿彼鳥得生厄里雅金，厄里雅金生阿左耳。
and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
14 阿左耳生匝多克，匝多克生阿歆，阿歆生厄里烏得，
and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud,
15 厄里烏得生厄肋阿匝爾，厄肋阿匝爾生瑪堂，瑪堂生雅各伯，
and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
16 雅各伯生若瑟、瑪利亞的丈夫，瑪利亞生耶穌，衪稱為基督。
and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
17 所以從亞巴郎到達味共十四代，從達味到流徙巴比倫共十四代，從流徙巴比倫到基督共十四代。
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 耶穌基督的誕生是這樣的：衪的母親許配於若瑟後，在同居前，她因聖神有孕的事已顯示出來。
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 她的丈夫若瑟，因是義人，不願公開羞她，有意暗暗地休退她。
and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
20 當他在思慮這事時，看，在夢人上主的天使顯現給他說：「達味之子若瑟，不要怕娶你的妻子瑪利亞，因為那在她內受生的，是出於聖神。
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 她要生一個兒子，妳要給衪起名叫耶穌，因為衪要把自己的民族，由他們的罪惡中拯救出來。」
and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'
22 這一切事的發生，是為應驗上主藉先知所說的話：
And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 「看，一位貞女，將懷孕生子，人將稱衪的名字為厄瑪奴耳，意思是：天主與我們同在。
'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 若瑟從睡夢中醒來，就照上主的天使所囑咐的辦了，娶了他的妻子；
And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
25 若瑟雖然沒認識她，她就生了一個兒子，給衪起名叫耶穌。
and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
