1 This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Livre de la genèse de Jésus-Christ, fils de David, fils d’Abraham.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
Abraham engendra Isaac; Isaac engendra Jacob; Jacob engendra Juda et ses frères;

Aram engendra Aminadab; Aminadab engendra Naasson; Naasson engendra Salmon;
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,
Salmon, de Rahab, engendra Booz; Booz, de Ruth, engendra Obed; Obed engendra Jessé; Jessé engendra le roi David.
6 and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,
David engendra Salomon, de celle qui fut la femme d’Urie;
7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.
Salomon engendra Roboam; Roboam engendra Abias; Abias engendra Asa;
8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.
Asa engendra Josaphat; Josaphat engendra Joram; Joram engendra Ozias;
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
Ozias engendra Joathan; Joathan engendra Achaz; Achaz engendra Ezéchias;
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,
Ezéchias engendra Manassé; Manassé engendra Amon; Amon engendra Josias;
11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Josias engendra Jéchonias et ses frères, au temps de la déportation à Babylone.
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Et après la déportation à Babylone, Jéchonias engendra Salathiel; Salathiel engendra Zorobabel;
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
Zorobabel engendra Abiud; Abiud engendra Eliacim; Eliacim engendra Azor;
14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.
Azor engendra Sadoc; Sadoc engendra Achim; Achim engendra Eliud;
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,
Eliud engendra Eléazar; Eléazar engendra Mathan; Mathan engendra Jacob;
16 and Jacob the father of 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 In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
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 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
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 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Joseph, son mari, qui était un homme juste, ne voulant pas la diffamer, résolut de la renvoyer secrètement.
20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
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 pas de prendre avec toi Marie ton épouse, car ce qui est formé en elle est l’ouvrage du Saint-Esprit.
21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will 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 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Or tout cela arriva afin que fût accompli ce qu’avait dit le Seigneur par le prophète:
23 “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “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 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as 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 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
Mais il ne la connut pas jusqu’à ce qu’elle enfantât son fils premier-né, à qui il donna le nom de Jésus.
