6 and Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah’s,

8 and Asa begot Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah,
then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah;
9 and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah,
then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah;
10 and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah,
then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah;
11 and Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers, at the Babylonian removal.
then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.
12 And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;
13 and Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor,

then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob;
16 and Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal to the Christ, fourteen generations.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are fourteen generations.
18 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,
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit,
But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.
24 And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
