1 [This is] the record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, the descendant of [King] David and of Abraham, [from whom all we Jews have descended].

2 Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac was the father of Jacob. Jacob was the father of Judah and Judah’s [older and younger] brothers.

11 Josiah was the grandfather of Jeconiah and Jeconiah’s brothers. [They lived] at the time when the [Babylonian army] took the Israelites as captives to the [country of] Babylon.
E Josias gerou a Jeconias, e a seus irmãos no [tempo do] exílio babilônico.
12 After the Babylonians took the Israelites to Babylon, Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel was the grandfather of Zerubbabel.

16 Jacob was the father of Joseph. Joseph was Mary’s husband, and Mary was Jesus’ mother. Jesus is the one who is called {whom we call} the Messiah.
E Jacó gerou a José, o marido de Maria, da qual nasceu Jesus, chamado o Cristo.
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].
De maneira que todas as gerações desde Abraão até Davi são catorze gerações; e desde Davi até o exílio babilônico catorze gerações; e desde o exílio babilônico até Cristo catorze gerações.
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.
E o nascimento de Jesus Cristo foi assim: estando sua mãe Maria desposada com José, antes que se ajuntassem, ela foi achada grávida do Espírito Santo.
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.
Então José, seu marido, sendo justo, e não querendo a expor à infâmia, pensou em deixá-la secretamente.
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.
E ele, pretendendo isto, eis que um anjo do Senhor lhe apareceu em sonho, dizendo: José, filho de Davi, não temas receber Maria, tua mulher, porque o que nela está concebido é do Espírito Santo.
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’].”
E ela dará à luz um filho, e tu chamarás seu nome Jesus; porque ele salvará seu povo de seus pecados.
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:
E tudo isto aconteceu para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo Senhor por meio do profeta, que disse:
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’.
Eis que a virgem conceberá, e dará à luz um filho, e chamarão seu nome Emanuel, que traduzido é: Deus conosco.
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.
E despertando José do sonho, fez como o anjo do Senhor tinha lhe mandado, e recebeu sua mulher.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
E ele não a conheceu [intimamente], até que ela deu à luz um filho, e lhe pôs por nome JESUS.
