6 Jesse begat David king; David the king begat Solomon by the one who was married to Uriah;

7 Solomon begat Rehoboam; Rehoboam begat Abijah; Abijah begat Asa;

8 Asa begat Jehoshaphat; Jehoshaphat begat Jehoram; And Joram begat Uzziah;

9 Uzziah begat Jotham; Jotham begat Ahaz; Ahaz begat Hezekiah;

10 Hezekiah begat Manasseh; Manasseh begat Amun; Amon begat Josiah;

11 Josiah begat Jehoiakim; And Jehoiakim begat Jehoiachin and his brethren, before he migrated to Babylon.

12 And when Jeconiah had carried away to Babylon, he begat Shealtiel; And Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;

13 Zerubbabel begat Abihu; Abihu begat Eliakim; Eliakim begat Azor;

14 Azor begat Zadok; Zadok begat Achim; Achim begat Eliud;

15 Eliud begat Eleazar; Eleazar begat Matthan; Matthan begat Jacob;

16 And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 Therefore 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 Christ fourteen generations.

18 And the birth of Jesus Christ was this: And when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united, she was found to be with child of the Holy Ghost.

19 And Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not desiring to make her public, wanted to send her away secretly.

20 And when he had thought these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said, 'Joseph, son of David! do not be afraid to receive Mary your wife, for that which is born in her is of the Holy Spirit;

21 And he shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 А все сие произошло, да сбудется реченное Господом через пророка, который говорит:

23 се, Дева во чреве приимет и родит Сына, и нарекут имя Ему Еммануил, что значит: с нами Бог.

24 Встав от сна, Иосиф поступил, как повелел ему Ангел Господень, и принял жену свою,

25 и не знал Ее. [Как] наконец Она родила Сына Своего первенца, и он нарек Ему имя: Иисус.
