The Family History of Jesus(A)

1 This is the ·family history [record of the ancestors; genealogy; L book of the offspring/family; C perhaps a title for the entire book] of Jesus ·Christ [the Messiah]. ·He came from the family of David, and David came from the family of Abraham [L …the son of David, the son of Abraham; C “son” can mean descendant].

2 Abraham ·was the father of [fathered; T begot; C and so throughout the genealogy; the word can refer to more distant ancestry] Isaac.
Isaac was the father of Jacob.
Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers.
3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah.
    (Their mother was Tamar [Gen. 38].)
Perez was the father of Hezron.
Hezron was the father of Ram.
4 Ram was the father of Amminadab.
Amminadab was the father of Nahshon.
Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz.
    (Boaz’s mother was Rahab [Josh. 2].)
Boaz was the father of Obed.
    (Obed’s mother was Ruth [Ruth 4:13–22].)
Obed was the father of Jesse.
6 Jesse was the father of King David.
David was the father of Solomon.
    (Solomon’s mother had been Uriah’s wife [C Bathsheba; 2 Sam. 11—12].)
7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam.
Rehoboam was the father of Abijah.
Abijah was the father of Asa.[a]
8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat.
Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram [C a variant spelling of Jehoram; 1 Kin. 22:50].
Joram was the ·ancestor [or father; C see v. 2] of Uzziah.
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham.
Jotham was the father of Ahaz.
Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah.
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh.
Manasseh was the father of Amon.
Amon was the father of Josiah.
11 Josiah was the ·grandfather [or father; C see v. 2] of Jeconiah [C another name for Jehoiachin; see 2 Kin. 24:6; 1 Chr. 3:16] and his brothers.
    (This was at the time ·that the people were taken [L of the exile/deportation; 2 Kin. 24:8–17] to Babylon.)
12 After ·they were taken [the exile/deportation] to Babylon:
Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel.
Shealtiel was the ·grandfather [or father; C see v. 2] of Zerubbabel [Ezra 2].
13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud.
Abiud was the father of Eliakim.
Eliakim was the father of Azor.
14 Azor was the father of Zadok.
Zadok was the father of ·Akim [Achim].
·Akim [Achim] was the father of Eliud.
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar.
Eleazar was the father of Matthan.
Matthan was the father of Jacob.
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph.
Joseph was the husband of Mary,
and Mary ·was the mother of [gave birth to] Jesus, who is called the ·Christ [Messiah].

17 So there were fourteen generations [L in all] from Abraham to David. And there were fourteen generations from David until the ·people were taken [exile; deportation] to Babylon. And there were fourteen generations from the time ·when the people were taken [of the exile/deportation] to Babylon until ·Christ [the Messiah] was born.

The Birth of Jesus Christ

18 This is how the birth of Jesus ·Christ [the Messiah] came about. His mother Mary was ·engaged [pledged; T betrothed; C a formal agreement between families that required a “divorce” to annul] to marry Joseph, but before they ·married [came to live together], she ·learned she was [or was found/discovered to be] ·pregnant [T with child] ·by the power of [through] the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Mary’s husband, Joseph, was a ·good [righteous] man, he did not want to disgrace her in public, so he planned to ·divorce her [end the engagement] ·secretly [privately; quietly].

20 While Joseph ·thought about [considered; decided; resolved to do] these things, [L look; T behold] an angel of the Lord ·came [appeared] to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, ·descendant [son] of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because ·the baby [L what is conceived] in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins [C the name Jesus means “the Lord saves”].”

22 All this happened to ·bring about [fulfill] what the Lord had ·said [spoken] through the prophet: 23 “[L Look; T Behold] The virgin will ·be pregnant [L conceive in her womb; Is. 7:14]. She will ·have [give birth to] a son, and they will name him Immanuel,” which [C in Hebrew] means “God is with us.”

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the Lord’s angel had ·told [commanded] him to do. Joseph took Mary as his wife, 25 but he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. And ·Joseph [L he] named him Jesus.

Genealogia di Gesù Cristo(A)

1 (B)Genealogia[a] di Gesù[b] Cristo[c], figlio di Davide, figlio di Abraamo.

2 Abraamo generò Isacco; Isacco generò Giacobbe; Giacobbe generò Giuda e i suoi fratelli; 3 Giuda generò Perez e Zerac da Tamar; Perez generò Chesron; Chesron generò Ram; 4 Ram generò Amminadab; Amminadab generò Nason; Nason generò Salmon; 5 Salmon generò Boaz da Raab; Boaz generò Obed da Rut; Obed generò Isai, 6 e Isai generò Davide, il re. Davide {il re} generò Salomone da quella che era stata moglie di Uria; 7 Salomone generò Roboamo; Roboamo generò Abiia; Abiia generò Asa[d]; 8 Asa[e] generò Giosafat; Giosafat generò Ieoram; Ieoram generò Uzzia; 9 Uzzia generò Iotam; Iotam generò Acaz; Acaz generò Ezechia; 10 Ezechia generò Manasse; Manasse generò Amon[f]; Amon[g] generò Giosia; 11 Giosia generò Ieconia e i suoi fratelli al tempo della deportazione in Babilonia.

12 Dopo la deportazione in Babilonia, Ieconia generò Sealtiel; Sealtiel generò Zorobabele; 13 Zorobabele generò Abiud; Abiud generò Eliachim; Eliachim generò Azor; 14 Azor generò Sadoc; Sadoc generò Achim; Achim generò Eliud; 15 Eliud generò Eleazar; Eleazar generò Mattan; Mattan generò Giacobbe; 16 Giacobbe generò Giuseppe, il marito di Maria, dalla quale nacque Gesù, che è chiamato Cristo.

17 Così, da Abraamo fino a Davide sono in tutto quattordici generazioni; da Davide fino alla deportazione in Babilonia, quattordici generazioni; e dalla deportazione in Babilonia fino a Cristo, quattordici generazioni.

Nascita di Gesù Cristo

18 (C)La nascita di Gesù Cristo avvenne in questo modo. Maria, sua madre, era stata promessa sposa a Giuseppe e, prima che fossero venuti a stare insieme, si trovò incinta per opera dello Spirito Santo. 19 Giuseppe, suo marito, che era uomo giusto e non voleva esporla a infamia, si propose di lasciarla segretamente. 20 Ma mentre aveva queste cose nell’animo, un angelo del Signore gli apparve in sogno, dicendo: «Giuseppe, figlio di Davide, non temere di prendere con te Maria, tua moglie; perché ciò che in lei è generato, viene dallo Spirito Santo. 21 Ella partorirà un figlio, e tu gli porrai nome Gesù[h], perché è lui che salverà il suo popolo dai loro peccati».

22 Tutto ciò avvenne, affinché si adempisse quello che era stato detto dal Signore per mezzo del profeta:

23 «La vergine[i] sarà incinta e partorirà un figlio, al quale sarà posto nome Emmanuele[j]», che tradotto vuol dire: «Dio con noi».

24 Giuseppe, destatosi dal sonno, fece come l’angelo del Signore gli aveva comandato e prese con sé sua moglie; 25 e non ebbe con lei rapporti coniugali[k] finché ella non ebbe partorito un figlio[l]; e gli pose nome Gesù.

Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[d]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.(S) 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[e] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce(T) her quietly.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel(U) of the Lord appeared to him in a dream(V) and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[f](W) because he will save his people from their sins.”(X)

22 All this took place to fulfill(Y) what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[g](Z) (which means “God with us”).

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel(AA) of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.(AB)
