6 And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;
and Jesse begot David the king. And David begot Solomon from the widow of Uriah,
7 And Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa;
and Solomon begot Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa,
8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah;

9 And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah:

10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and Amon begat Josiah;

11 And Josiah begat Jechoniah, and his brethren, —upon the removal to Babylon.
and Josiah begot Jechoniah and his brothers during the Babylonian exile.
12 And, after the removal to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;
And after the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel,
13 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor;

16 And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, —who is called Christ.
and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian exile fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian exile to the Christ fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth, of [Jesus] Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, —before they came together, she was found with child by [the] Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from the Holy Spirit.
19 Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her, —intended, privately, to divorce her.
But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.
20 But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, —Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of [the], Holy, Spirit.
But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, —for, he, will save his people from their sins.
And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.
22 But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:
Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
23 Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, —and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.
Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.
24 And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, —and took unto him his wife;
And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the agent of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,
25 and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, —and he called his name Jesus.
and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
