A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:

2 Ἀβραὰμ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰσαάκ· Ἰσαὰκ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰακώβ· Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ·

Abraham begot Isaac, then Isaac begot Jacob, then Jacob begot Judah and his brothers;

3 Ἰούδας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Φάρες καὶ τὸν Ζάρα ἐκ τῆς Θαμάρ· Φάρες δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἑσρώμ· Ἑσρὼμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀράμ·

then Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, then Perez begot Hezron, then Hezron begot Ram;

4 Ἀρὰμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀμιναδάβ· Ἀμιναδὰβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ναασσών· Ναασσὼν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαλμών·

then Ram begot Amminadab, then Amminadab begot Nahshon, then Nahshon begot Salmon;

5 Σαλμὼν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Βόες ἐκ τῆς Ῥαχάβ· Βόες δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωβὴδ ἐκ τῆς Ῥούθ· Ἰωβὴδ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰεσσαί·

then Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, then Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, then Obed begot Jesse,

6 Ἰεσσαὶ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Δαυὶδ τὸν βασιλέα· Δαυὶδ δὲ (ὁ βασιλεὺς *k*) ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σολομῶνα ἐκ τῆς τοῦ Οὐρίου·

then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah,

7 Σολομὼν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ῥοβοάμ· Ῥοβοὰμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀβιά· Ἀβιὰ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀσάφ·

then Solomon begot Rehoboam, then Rehoboam begot Abijah, then Abijah begot Asa;

8 Ἀσὰφ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωσαφάτ· Ἰωσαφὰτ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωράμ· Ἰωρὰμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ὀζίαν·

then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah;

9 Ὀζίας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωαθάμ· Ἰωαθὰμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀχάζ· Ἀχὰζ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἑζεκίαν·

then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah;

10 Ἑζεκίας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Μανασσῆ· Μανασσῆς δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν (Ἀμώς· Ἀμὼς *N(k)O*) δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωσίαν·

then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah;

11 Ἰωσίας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰεχονίαν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος.

then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity.

12 Μετὰ δὲ τὴν μετοικεσίαν Βαβυλῶνος Ἰεχονίας ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαλαθιήλ· Σαλαθιὴλ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ζοροβαβέλ·

After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel;

13 Ζοροβαβὲλ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀβιούδ· Ἀβιοὺδ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἐλιακίμ· Ἐλιακὶμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀζώρ·

then Zerubbabel begot Abiud, then Abiud begot Eliakim, then Eliakim begot Azor;

14 Ἀζὼρ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαδώκ· Σαδὼκ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀχίμ· Ἀχὶμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἐλιούδ·

then Azor begot Zadok, then Zadok begot Achim, then Achim begot Eliud;

15 Ἐλιοὺδ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἐλεάζαρ· Ἐλεάζαρ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ματθάν· Ματθὰν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰακώβ·

then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob;

16 Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἄνδρα Μαρίας ἐξ ἧς ἐγεννήθη Ἰησοῦς ὁ λεγόμενος Χριστός.

then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 Πᾶσαι οὖν αἱ γενεαὶ ἀπὸ Ἀβραὰμ ἕως Δαυὶδ γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες καὶ ἀπὸ Δαυὶδ ἕως τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος ἕως τοῦ Χριστοῦ γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες.

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are fourteen generations.

18 Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἡ (γένεσις *N(k)O*) οὕτως ἦν· μνηστευθείσης (γὰρ *k*) τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μαρίας τῷ Ἰωσήφ, πρὶν ἢ συνελθεῖν αὐτοὺς εὑρέθη ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα ἐκ πνεύματος ἁγίου.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

19 Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, δίκαιος ὢν καὶ μὴ θέλων αὐτὴν (δειγματίσαι, *N(k)O*) ἐβουλήθη λάθρᾳ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.

20 Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐνθυμηθέντος ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος κυρίου κατ᾽ ὄναρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ λέγων· Ἰωσὴφ υἱὸς Δαυίδ, μὴ φοβηθῇς παραλαβεῖν Μαρίαν τὴν γυναῖκά σου· τὸ γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ γεννηθὲν ἐκ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἁγίου.

But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21 τέξεται δὲ υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν· αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν.

And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

22 Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ (τοῦ *k*) κυρίου διὰ τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος·

Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:

23 ἰδοὺ ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ καλέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ, ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον· μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ὁ θεός.

“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.

24 (Ἐγερθεὶς *N(k)O*) δὲ ὁ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου ἐποίησεν ὡς προσέταξεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου· καὶ παρέλαβεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,

25 καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκεν αὐτὴν ἕως οὗ ἔτεκεν (τὸν *k*) υἱόν (αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον, *K*) καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν.

but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
