La généalogie de Jésus

(Lc 3.23-38)

1Voici la généalogie de Jésus-Christ, de la descendance de David et d’Abraham.

2Abraham eut pour descendant Isaac. Isaac eut pour descendant Jacob. Jacob eut pour descendant Juda et ses frères. 3De Thamar, Juda eut pour descendant Pérets et Zérah. Pérets eut pour descendant Hetsrôn. Hetsrôn eut pour descendant Aram. 4Aram eut pour descendant Amminadab. Amminadab eut pour descendant Nahshôn, Nahshôn eut pour descendant Salma. 5De Rahab, Salma eut pour descendant Booz. De Ruth, Booz eut pour descendant Obed. 6Obed eut pour descendant Isaï. Isaï eut pour descendant le roi David.

De la femme d’Urie, David eut pour descendant Salomon. 7Salomon eut pour descendant Roboam. Roboam eut pour descendant Abiya. Abiya eut pour descendant Asa. 8Asa eut pour descendant Josaphat. Josaphat eut pour descendant Yoram. Yoram eut pour descendant Ozias. 9Ozias eut pour descendant Yotam. Yotam eut pour descendant Ahaz. Ahaz eut pour descendant Ezéchias. 10Ezéchias eut pour descendant Manassé. Manassé eut pour descendant Amôn. Amôn eut pour descendant Josias. 11A l’époque de la déportation à Babylone, Josias eut pour descendant Yekonia et ses frères.

12Après la déportation à Babylone, Yekonia eut pour descendant Shealtiel. Shealtiel eut pour descendant Zorobabel. 13Zorobabel eut pour descendant Abioud. Abioud eut pour descendant Eliaqim. Eliaqim eut pour descendant Azor. 14Azor eut pour descendant Sadoq. Sadoq eut pour descendant Ahim. Ahim eut pour descendant Elioud. 15Elioud eut pour descendant Eléazar. Eléazar eut pour descendant Matthan. Matthan eut pour descendant Jacob. 16Jacob eut pour descendant Joseph, l’époux de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, appelé Christ.

17Il y eut donc en tout quatorze générations d’Abraham à David, quatorze de David jusqu’à la déportation à Babylone, et quatorze de cette déportation jusqu’à Christ.

L’annonce de la naissance de Jésus

18Voici dans quelles circonstances Jésus-Christ vint au monde : Marie, sa mère, était liée par fiançailles à Joseph ; or elle se trouva enceinte par l’action du Saint-Esprit, avant qu’ils aient vécu ensemble1.18 En Israël, les fiancés étaient juridiquement mariés mais n’avaient pas encore de vie commune.. 19Joseph, son futur mari, était un homme juste. Il ne voulait pas la livrer au déshonneur. C’est pourquoi il se proposa de rompre ses fiançailles sans en ébruiter la raison.

20Il réfléchissait à ce projet quand un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en rêve et lui dit : Joseph, descendant de David, ne crains pas de prendre Marie pour femme, car l’enfant qu’elle porte vient de l’Esprit Saint. 21Elle donnera naissance à un fils, tu l’appelleras Jésus. C’est lui, en effet, qui sauvera son peuple de ses péchés1.21 Jésus signifie : l’Eternel sauve..

22Tout cela arriva pour que s’accomplisse cette parole du Seigneur1.22 Traduction adoptée par l’ancienne version grecque de l’Ancien Testament du nom que nous avons rendu par l’Eternel dans l’Ancien Testament. transmise par le prophète :

23Voici, la jeune fille vierge sera enceinte.

Et elle enfantera un fils1.23 Es 7.14 cité selon l’ancienne version grecque.

que l’on appellera Emmanuel,

ce qui veut dire : Dieu avec nous1.23 Es 8.8, 10 cité selon l’ancienne version grecque..

24A son réveil, Joseph fit ce que l’ange du Seigneur lui avait commandé : il prit sa fiancée pour femme. 25Mais il n’eut pas de relations conjugales avec elle avant qu’elle ait mis au monde un fils, auquel il donna le nom de Jésus.

New International Reader’s Version

Matthew 1:1-25

The Family Line of Jesus the Messiah

1This is the written story of the family line of Jesus the Messiah. He is the son of David. He is also the son of Abraham.

2Abraham was the father of Isaac.

Isaac was the father of Jacob.

Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers.

3Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah. Tamar was their mother.

Perez was the father of Hezron.

Hezron was the father of Ram.

4Ram was the father of Amminadab.

Amminadab was the father of Nahshon.

Nahshon was the father of Salmon.

5Salmon was the father of Boaz. Rahab was Boaz’s mother.

Boaz was the father of Obed. Ruth was Obed’s mother.

Obed was the father of Jesse.

6And Jesse was the father of King David.

David was the father of Solomon. Solomon’s mother had been Uriah’s wife.

7Solomon was the father of Rehoboam.

Rehoboam was the father of Abijah.

Abijah was the father of Asa.

8Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat.

Jehoshaphat was the father of Jehoram.

Jehoram was the father of Uzziah.

9Uzziah was the father of Jotham.

Jotham was the father of Ahaz.

Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah.

10Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh.

Manasseh was the father of Amon.

Amon was the father of Josiah.

11And Josiah was the father of Jeconiah and his brothers. At that time, the Jewish people were forced to go away to Babylon.

12After this, the family line continued.

Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel.

Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel.

13Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud.

Abihud was the father of Eliakim.

Eliakim was the father of Azor.

14Azor was the father of Zadok.

Zadok was the father of Akim.

Akim was the father of Elihud.

15Elihud was the father of Eleazar.

Eleazar was the father of Matthan.

Matthan was the father of Jacob.

16Jacob was the father of Joseph. Joseph was the husband of Mary. And Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

17So there were 14 generations from Abraham to David. There were 14 from David until the Jewish people were forced to go away to Babylon. And there were 14 from that time to the Messiah.

Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son

18This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about. His mother Mary and Joseph had promised to get married. But before they started to live together, it became clear that she was going to have a baby. She became pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit. 19Her husband Joseph was faithful to the law. But he did not want to put her to shame in public. So he planned to divorce her quietly.

20But as Joseph was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary home as your wife. The baby inside her is from the Holy Spirit. 21She is going to have a son. You must give him the name Jesus. That’s because he will save his people from their sins.”

22All this took place to bring about what the Lord had said would happen. He had said through the prophet, 23“The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14) The name Immanuel means “God with us.”

24Joseph woke up. He did what the angel of the Lord commanded him to do. He took Mary home as his wife. 25But he did not sleep with her until she gave birth to a son. And Joseph gave him the name Jesus.
