16 Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Messiah.	16 Jacob engendra Joseph, l'époux de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, qui est appelé Christ.
17 Thus the total number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen generations; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations; from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah, fourteen generations.	17 En tout donc, depuis Abraham jusqu'à David, quatorze générations ; et depuis David jusqu'à la déportation à Babylone, quatorze générations ; et depuis la déportation à Babylone jusqu'au Christ, quatorze générations.
18 Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy Spirit.	18 Or la naissance du Christ eut lieu ainsi. Marie, Sa Mère, étant fiancée à Joseph, avant qu'ils habitassent ensemble, il se trouva qu'Elle avait conçu de l'Esprit-Saint.
19 Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.	19 Mais Joseph, Son époux, étant un homme juste, et ne voulant pas La diffamer, résolut de La renvoyer secrètement.
20 Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.	20 Et comme il y pensait, voici qu'un Ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, disant : Joseph, fils de David, ne crains pas de prendre avec toi Marie, ton Epouse ; car ce qui est né en Elle vient du Saint-Esprit.
21 She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."	21 Elle enfantera un fils, et tu Lui donneras le nom de Jésus ; car Il sauvera Son peuple de ses péchés.
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:	22 Or tout cela arriva pour que s'accomplît ce que le Seigneur avait dit par le prophète, en ces termes :
23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel," which means "God is with us."	23 Voici, la Vierge concevra, et Elle enfantera un Fils, et on Lui donnera le nom d'Emmanuel ; ce qui signifie : Dieu avec nous.
24 When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.	24 Joseph, réveillé de son sommeil, fit ce que l'Ange du Seigneur lui avait ordonné, et prit son Epouse avec lui.
25 He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.	25 Et il ne L'avait point connue quand Elle enfanta Son Fils premier-né, auquel il donna le nom de Jésus.
