So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the Exile to Babylon fourteen; and from the Exile to Babylon to the Christ fourteen.
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.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place as follows: His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but, before the marriage took place, she found herself to be with child by the power of 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.
Her husband, Joseph, was a religious man and, being unwilling to expose her to contempt, resolved to put an end to their betrothal privately.
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;
He had been dwelling upon this, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power 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; and you shall give him the name 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:
All this happened in fulfilment of these words of the Lord in the Prophet, where he says —
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, and they will give him the name Immanuel’ — a word which means ‘God is 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 awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.
25 et il ne la connut point jusqu’à ce qu’elle ait enfanté son fils premier-né; et il appela son nom Jésus.
He made Mary his wife, but did not live with her as her husband until after the birth of her son; and to this son he gave the name Jesus.
