6 and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon (his mother had been Uriah's wife);
and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam; and Rehoboam the father of Abijah; and Abijah the father of Asa;
and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;

and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham; and Jotham the father of Ahaz; and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh; and Manasseh the father of Amon; and Amon the father of Josiah;

11 and Josiah the father of Jehoiachin and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 After the exile to Babylon, Jehoiachin was the father of Shealtiel; and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel;
And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud; and Abiud the father of Eliakim; and Eliakim the father of Azor;

and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
16 and Jacob was the father of Joseph, who was the husband of Mary, to whom Jesus was born, the one who is called the Messiah.
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Messiah.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David add up to fourteen; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen; and from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah, fourteen.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened. His mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, but before they slept together she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Now the birth of Jesus (the) Messiah happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and didn't want to shame her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement discreetly.
And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 While he was thinking about all of this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him, “Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to marry Mary because she is pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 She will give birth to a son and you shall call him Jesus, for he will save people from their sins.”
And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 (Now this all happened to fulfill what the Lord said through the prophet:
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “A virgin will become pregnant, and will give birth to a son. They will call him Immanuel,” which means “God with us.”)
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 Joseph woke up and did what the angel of the Lord told him to do.
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Joseph married Mary, but did not sleep with her until after she had given birth to a son, whom he named Jesus.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
