12 And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,
Et après la déportation à Babylone, Jéchonias engendra Salathiel; Salathiel engendra Zorobabel;

16 and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.
Et Jacob engendra Joseph, l’époux de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, qu’on appelle Christ.
17 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.
Il y a donc en tout quatorze générations depuis Abraham jusqu’à David, quatorze générations depuis David jusqu’à la déportation à Babylone, quatorze générations depuis la déportation à Babylone jusqu’au Christ.
18 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,
Or la naissance de Jésus-Christ arriva ainsi. Marie, sa mère, étant fiancée à Joseph, il se trouva, avant qu’ils eussent habité ensemble, qu’elle avait conçu par la vertu du Saint-Esprit.
19 and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
Joseph, son mari, qui était un homme juste, ne voulant pas la diffamer, résolut de la renvoyer secrètement.
20 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,
Comme il était dans cette pensée, voici qu’un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, et lui dit: « Joseph, fils de David, ne craint pas de prendre avec toi Marie ton épouse, car ce qui est formé en elle est l’ouvrage du Saint-Esprit.
21 and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'
Et elle enfantera un fils, et tu lui donneras le nom de Jésus; car il sauvera son peuple de ses péchés. »
22 And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Or tout cela arriva afin que fût accompli ce qu’avait dit le Seigneur par le prophète:
23 '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.'
« Voici que la Vierge concevra et enfantera un fils; et on le nommera Emmanuel, » c’est à dire Dieu avec nous.
24 And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
Réveillé de son sommeil, Joseph fit ce que l’ange du Seigneur lui avait commandé: il prit avec lui Marie son épouse.
25 and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
Mais il ne la connut pas jusqu’à ce qu’elle enfantât son fils premier-né, à qui il donna le nom de Jésus.
