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 d'Abraham à David; quatorze, de David à l'émigration à Babylone, et quatorze, de l'émigration jusqu’à 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, voici de quelle manière Jésus-Christ vint au monde. Marie, sa mère, ayant été fiancée à Joseph, se trouva enceinte par l'effet du Saint-Esprit, avant qu'ils eussent habité ensemble.
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, étant un homme de bien, et ne voulant pas l'exposer à la honte, résolut de la répudier 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,
Il y pensait, lorsqu'un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, et lui dit: «Joseph, fils de David, ne crains point de prendre chez toi Marie, ta femme; car l'enfant qu'elle a conçu est 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.'
Elle mettra au monde un fils, et tu lui donneras le nom de Jésus, parce que c'est lui qui 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,
Tout cela arriva, afin que s'accomplît 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, la vierge sera enceinte; elle mettra au monde un fils à qui l’on donnera le nom d'Emmanuel, » ce qui signifie «Dieu avec nous.»
24 And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
A son réveil, Joseph fit comme l'ange du Seigneur le lui avait commandé: il prit sa femme chez lui.
25 and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
Et il ne la connut point, jusqu’à ce qu'elle eût mis au monde un fils, et il lui donna le nom de Jésus.
