16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Miriam, from whom was born Yeshua, who is called Messiah.
and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this: After his mother, Miriam, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
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,
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Miriam as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Yeshua, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
'Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us [he is] God.'
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Yeshua.
and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
