亚撒为约沙法之父；约沙法为约兰之父；约兰为乌西亚之父；
9 and Ozias begat Joatham, and Joatham begat Achaz, and Achaz begat Ezekias,
乌西亚为约坦之父；约坦为亚哈斯之父；亚哈斯为希西加之父；
10 and Ezekias begat Manasses, and Manasses begat Amon, and Amon begat Josias,
希西加为玛拿西之父；玛拿西为亚门之父；亚门为约西亚之父；
11 and Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away of Babylon.
被流放巴比伦期间，约西亚诞下耶哥尼雅及其兄弟。
12 And after the carrying away of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel, and Salathiel begat Zorobabel,
结束巴比伦流放之后，耶哥尼雅诞下撒拉铁，撒拉铁为所罗巴伯之父；
13 and Zorobabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor,
所罗巴伯为亚比玉之父，亚比玉为以利亚敬之父，以利亚敬为亚所之父；
14 and Azor begat Sadoc, and Sadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud,
亚所为撒多之父；撒多为亚金之父；亚金为以律之父；
15 and Eliud begat Eliazar, and Eliazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
以律为以利亚撒之父，以利亚撒为马但之父；马但为雅各之父。
16 and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
雅各为约瑟之父，即玛利亚的丈夫。玛利亚所诞之子被称为弥赛亚，即耶稣。
17 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [were] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
从亚伯拉罕到大卫共十四代人；从大卫到巴比伦流放之时亦为十四代人，从巴比伦流放到基督又为十四代人。
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of [the] Holy Spirit.
以下为弥赛亚——即耶稣基督降生的过程：他的母亲玛利亚被许配给约瑟，但在同房之前，玛利亚就因圣灵受孕。
19 But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;
她的丈夫约瑟生性善良，不愿张扬此事让她受尽羞辱，于是打算暗地将她休掉。
20 but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to [thee] Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit.
就在他思量此事之时，主派来天使进入他的梦境，对他说：“大卫之子约瑟，不要担心，迎娶你的妻子玛利亚，因她所孕育乃源于圣灵。
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
她将诞下一子，请为其起名耶稣，他将会把苍生从罪恶之中拯救出来。”
22 Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through the prophet, saying,
(这一切印证了主通过先知给出的预言：
23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, 'God with us.'
将有处女怀孕生子，世人将称他为马内利 即 “上帝与我们同在”之意)。
24 But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of [the] Lord had enjoined him, and took to [him] his wife,
约瑟醒来后，便遵从天使的嘱托，
25 and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
迎娶妻子过门，但在孩子出生前并未与她同房。玛利亚生下男婴后，约瑟为他起名耶稣。
