In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
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.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through 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.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
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 after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from 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 will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will 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:
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
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 will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “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;
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 et il ne la connut point jusqu’à ce qu’elle ait enfanté son fils premier-né; et il appela son nom Jésus.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
