< Matthew 1 >
1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Le Livre de la Généalogie de Jésus-Christ, fils de David, fils d'Abraham.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
Abraham engendra Isaac; et Isaac engendra Jacob; et Jacob engendra Juda, et ses frères;
3 and Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,
Et Juda engendra Pharès et Zara, de Thamar; et Pharès engendra Esrom; et Esrom engendra Aram;
4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,
Et Aram engendra Aminadab; et Aminadab engendra Naasson; et Naasson engendra Salmon;
5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse,
Et Salmon engendra Booz, de Rachab; et Booz engendra Obed, de Ruth; et Obed engendra Jessé;
6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
Et Jessé engendra le Roi David; et le Roi David engendra Salomon, de celle [qui avait été femme] d'Urie;
7 and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
Et Salomon engendra Roboam; et Roboam engendra Abia; et Abia engendra Asa;
8 and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
Et Asa engendra Josaphat; et Josaphat engendra Joram; et Joram engendra Hozias;
9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
Et Hozias engendra Joatham; et Joatham engendra Achaz; et Achaz engendra Ezéchias;
10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
Et Ezéchias engendra Manassé; et Manassé engendra Amon; et Amon engendra Josias;
11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Et Josias engendra Jakim; et Jakim engendra Jéchonias, et ses frères, vers le temps qu'ils furent transportés en Babylone.
12 And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Et après qu'ils eurent été transportés en Babylone, Jéchonias engendra Salathiël; et Salathiël engendra Zorobabel;
13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,
Et Zorobabel engendra Abiud; et Abiud engendra Eliakim; et Eliakim engendra Azor;
14 and Azzur the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Ahiam, and Ahiam the father of Elihud,
Et Azor engendra Sadoc; et Sadoc engendra Achim; et Achim engendra Eliud;
15 and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
Et Eliud engendra Eléazar; et Eléazar engendra Matthan; et Matthan engendra Jacob;
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
Et Jacob engendra Joseph, le mari de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, qui est appelé Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
Ainsi toutes les générations depuis Abraham jusqu'à David, sont quatorze générations; et depuis David jusqu'au temps qu'ils furent transportés en Babylone, quatorze générations; et depuis qu'ils eurent été transportés en Babylone jusqu'à Christ, quatorze générations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
Or la naissance de Jésus-Christ arriva en cette manière. Comme Marie sa mère eut été fiancée à Joseph, avant qu'ils fussent ensemble, elle se trouva enceinte [par l'opération] du Saint-Esprit.
19 And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Et Joseph son mari, parce qu'il était juste, et qu'il ne la voulait point diffamer, la voulut renvoyer secrètement.
20 But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Mais comme il pensait à ces choses, voici, l'Ange du Seigneur lui apparut dans un songe, et lui dit: Joseph, fils de David, ne crains point de recevoir Marie ta femme; car ce qui a été conçu en elle est du Saint-Esprit.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Et elle enfantera un fils, et tu appelleras son nom Jésus; car il sauvera son peuple de leurs péchés.
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Or tout ceci est arrivé afin que fût accompli ce dont le Seigneur avait parlé par le Prophète, en disant:
23 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
Voici, la Vierge sera enceinte, et elle enfantera un fils; et on appellera son nom Emmanuël, ce qui signifie, DIEU AVEC NOUS.
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Joseph étant donc réveillé de son sommeil, fit comme l'Ange du Seigneur lui avait commandé, et reçut sa femme.
25 and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
Mais il ne la connut point jusqu'à ce qu'elle eût enfanté son fils premier-né; et il appela son nom Jésus.
