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 Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Or la naissance de Jésus Christ arriva ainsi: sa mère, Marie, étant fiancée à Joseph, avant qu’ils soient ensemble, se trouva enceinte par l’Esprit Saint.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Mais Joseph, son mari, étant juste, et ne voulant pas faire d’elle un exemple, se proposa de la répudier secrètement.
Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 Mais comme il méditait sur ces choses, voici, un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, disant: Joseph, fils de David, ne crains pas de prendre auprès de toi Marie ta femme, car ce qui a été conçu en elle est de l’Esprit Saint;
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 Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 et elle enfantera un fils, et tu appelleras son nom Jésus, car c’est lui qui sauvera son peuple de leurs péchés.
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Or tout cela arriva, afin que fût accompli ce que le Seigneur a dit par le prophète, disant:
Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 « Voici, la vierge sera enceinte et enfantera un fils, et on appellera son nom Emmanuel », ce qui, interprété, est: Dieu avec nous.
“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.”
24 Or Joseph, étant réveillé de son sommeil, fit comme l’ange du Seigneur le lui avait ordonné, et prit sa femme auprès de lui;
Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 et il ne la connut point jusqu’à ce qu’elle ait enfanté son fils premier-né; et il appela son nom Jésus.
and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
