17 So all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
17
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
18 Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
18
Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
19
Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
20
But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins.
21
She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
22
All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
23
"Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel," which means, "God is with us."
24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
24
When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife,
25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and he called his name Jesus.
25
but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus.
