11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Josias engendra Jéchonias et ses frères vers la transmigration de Babylone.
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Et après la transmigration de Babylone, Jéchonias engendra Salathiel. Salathiel engendra Zorobabel.
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Et Jacob engendra Joseph, époux de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, qui est appelé 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, d’Abraham jusqu’à David, quatorze générations; de David jusqu’à la transmigration de Babylone, quatorze générations; et de la transmigration de Babylone jusqu’au Christ, quatorze générations.
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 telle fut la naissance du Christ: Marie, sa mère, étant fiancée à Joseph, avant qu’ils vinssent ensemble, il se trouva qu’elle avait conçu de l’Esprit-Saint.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Mais 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.
Et comme il pensait à ces choses, voici qu’un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, disant: Joseph, fils de David, ne crains point de prendre avec toi Marie, ta femme; car ce qui a été engendré en elle est 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.”
Elle enfantera un fils auquel tu donneras le nom de Jésus; car c’est lui qui sauvera son peuple de ses péchés.
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Or tout cela se fit pour que fût accomplie cette parole que le Seigneur a dite 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”).
Voilà que la Vierge concevra, et enfantera un fils, et on le nommera Emmanuel, ce que l’on interprète par: 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.
Ainsi réveillé de son sommeil, Joseph fit comme l’ange du Seigneur lui avait ordonné, et prit sa femme avec lui.
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
Or il ne l’avait point connue, quand elle enfanta son fils premier-né, à qui il donna le nom de Jésus.
