The Birth of Jesus the Messiah
18 This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. 19 Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement[h] quietly.
20 As he considered this, 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 as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus,[i] for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet:
23 “Look! The virgin will conceive a child!
She will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel,[j]
which means ‘God is with us.’”
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. 25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.

New King James Version
The Genealogy of Jesus Christ(A)
1 The book of the (B)genealogy[a] of Jesus Christ, (C)the Son of David, (D)the Son of Abraham:
2 (E)Abraham begot Isaac, (F)Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot (G)Judah and his brothers. 3 (H)Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, (I)Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5 Salmon begot (J)Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and (K)Jesse begot David the king.
(L)David the king begot Solomon by her [b]who had been the wife of Uriah. 7 (M)Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot (N)Abijah, and Abijah begot [c]Asa. 8 Asa begot (O)Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot (P)Uzziah. 9 Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot (Q)Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah. 10 (R)Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot [d]Amon, and Amon begot (S)Josiah. 11 (T)Josiah begot [e]Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were (U)carried away to Babylon.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, (V)Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot (W)Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. 14 Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. 15 Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob. 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of (X)Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.
Christ Born of Mary(Y)
18 Now the (Z)birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child (AA)of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being [f]a just man, and not wanting (AB)to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, (AC)for that which is [g]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 (AD)And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name [h]Jesus, (AE)for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 (AF)“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and [i]did not know her till she had brought forth (AG)her[j] firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.

Bulgarian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Родословието на Исус
1 Това е родословието на Исус Христос. Той беше потомък на Давид, а Давид — потомък на Авраам.
2 Авраам беше баща на Исаак.
Исаак беше баща на Яков.
Яков беше баща на Юда и братята му.
3 Юда беше баща на Фарес и Зара, чиято майка беше Тамар.
Фарес беше баща на Есрон.
Есрон беше баща на Арам.
4 Арам беше баща на Аминадав.
Аминадав беше баща на Наасон.
Наасон беше баща на Салмон.
5 Салмон беше баща на Вооз, чиято майка беше Раав.
Вооз беше баща на Овид, чиято майка беше Рут.
Овид беше баща на Есей.
6 Есей беше баща на цар Давид.
Давид беше баща на Соломон, чиято майка беше Уриевата жена.
7 Соломон беше баща на Ровоам.

Йосафат беше баща на Йорам.
Йорам беше баща на Озия.
9 Озия беше баща на Йотам.
Йотам беше баща на Ахаз.
Ахаз беше баща на Езекия.
10 Езекия беше баща на Манасия.
Манасия беше баща на Амон.
Амон беше баща на Йосия.
11 Йосия беше баща на Ехония и братята му.
Това беше по времето, когато юдейският народ беше изселен във Вавилон.
12 След преселението във Вавилон:
Ехония беше баща на Салатиил.
Салатиил беше баща на Зоровавел.
13 Зоровавел беше баща на Авиуд.
Авиуд беше баща на Елиаким.

15 Елиуд беше баща на Елеазар.
Елеазар беше баща на Матан.
Матан беше баща на Яков.
16 Яков беше баща на Йосиф,
мъжа на Мария,
която роди Исус, наречен Христос.[a]
17 И така, от Авраам до Давид е имало четиринадесет поколения, четиринадесет поколения — от Давид до преселението във Вавилон и четиринадесет поколения — от преселението във Вавилон до раждането на Месията.
Раждането на Исус Христос
(Лк. 2:1-7)
18 Ето как се роди Исус Христос: майка му, Мария, беше сгодена за Йосиф, но преди бракът да се състои, тя разбра, че е бременна от Святия Дух. 19 Йосиф, бъдещият й съпруг, беше праведен човек. Той не искаше да я опозори пред хората и реши да развали годежа, без да повдига обвинения срещу нея. 20 Но докато обмисляше това, един ангел, изпратен от Господа, му се яви насън и каза: „Йосифе, сине Давидов, не се страхувай да вземеш Мария за своя жена, защото детето, което очаква, е от Святия Дух. 21 Тя ще роди син и ти ще го наречеш Исус,[b] защото той ще спаси своя народ от греховете му.“
22 Всичко това стана, за да се изпълни казаното от Господа чрез пророка:
23 „Ето, девицата ще зачене
и ще роди син.
Ще го нарекат Емануил,“(A)
което означава „Бог с нас“.
24 Когато Йосиф се събуди, той постъпи така, както Господният ангел му беше заповядал и се ожени за Мария, 25 но нямаше интимна близост с нея, докато тя не роди сина си. И Йосиф го нарече Исус.
