17 [As you can calculate, I have grouped Jesus’] ancestors [as follows: ] There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when] Abraham [lived] to [the time when King] David [lived]. There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when] David [lived] to [the time when] the [Israelites were taken] {[the Babylonian army took the Israelites]} away to Babylon. There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when the Israelites were taken] {[the Babylonian army took the Israelites]} away to Babylon until [the time when] the Messiah [was born].
Ainsi toutes les générations depuis Abraham jusqu'à David sont en tout quatorze générations; et depuis David jusqu'à la captivité de Babylone, quatorze générations; et depuis la captivité de Babylone jusqu'au Christ, quatorze générations.
18 This is [the account of what happened just before] Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, {had publicly promised Joseph that she would marry him} had been publicly promised to marry Joseph. Before they began to sleep together, [Mary] realized that she was pregnant. [It was the power of] the Holy Spirit that had caused her to become pregnant.
Or, la naissance de Jésus-Christ arriva ainsi: Marie, sa mère, ayant été fiancée à Joseph, se trouva enceinte par la vertu du Saint-Esprit, avant qu'ils eussent été ensemble.
19 Joseph, her [future] husband, was a man who obeyed God’s commands. [One of those commands was that men must divorce women who had acted immorally. So when Joseph learned that Mary was pregnant, he assumed that she was pregnant as a result of her acting immorally]. So he decided to break the engagement. But because he did not want to shame her publicly, he decided to do it privately.
Alors Joseph, son époux, étant un homme de bien, et ne voulant pas la diffamer, voulut la renvoyer secrètement.
20 While he was seriously considering this, much to his surprise, in a dream he saw an angel whom the Lord [had sent]. The angel said, “Joseph, descendant of [King] David, do not be afraid that [you(sg) would be doing wrong if you(sg) would marry] Mary. Instead, [begin to treat her] as your wife, because the Holy Spirit, [not a man], has caused her to be pregnant.
Mais comme il y pensait, voici, un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, et lui dit: Joseph, fils de David, ne crains point de prendre Marie pour ta femme; car ce qui a été conçu en elle est du Saint-Esprit;
21 She will give birth to a son. Since it is he who will cause that his people will be saved from [the guilt of] their having sinned, name [the baby] Jesus, [which means ‘the Lord saves people’].”
Et elle enfantera un fils, et tu lui donneras le nom de JÉSUS (Sauveur); car c'est lui qui sauvera son peuple de leurs péchés.
22 All this happened as a result of what the Lord told the prophet [Isaiah to write long ago about what was going to happen]. This is what Isaiah wrote:
Or, tout cela arriva, afin que s'accomplît ce que le Seigneur avait dit en ces termes par le prophète:
23 “Listen, a virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will call him Emmanuel.” Emmanuel means ‘God is with us’.
Voici, la vierge sera enceinte, et elle enfantera un fils, et on le nommera EMMANUEL, ce qui signifie: DIEU AVEC NOUS.
24 When Joseph got up from sleep, he did what the angel whom the Lord [had sent] commanded him to do. He took [Mary] home to be his wife.
Quand Joseph fut réveillé de son sommeil, il fit comme l'ange du Seigneur lui avait commandé, et il prit sa femme.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
Mais il ne la connut point jusqu'à ce qu'elle eût enfanté son fils premier-né, et il lui donna le nom de JÉSUS.
