8 Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah.	8 Asa engendra Josaphat, Josaphat engendra Joram, Joram engendra Ozias,
9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.	9 Ozias engendra Joatham, Joatham engendra Achaz, Achaz engendra Ezéchias,
10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amos, Amos the father of Josiah.	10 Ezéchias engendra Manassé, Manassé engendra Amon, Amon engendra Josias,
11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile.	11 Josias engendra Jéchonias et ses frères; ce fut alors la déportation à Babylone.
12 After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,	12 Après la déportation à Babylone, Jéchonias engendra Salathiel, Salathiel engendra Zorobabel,
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor,	13 Zorobabel engendra Abioud, Abioud engendra Eliakim, Eliakim engendra Azor,

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 naquit Jésus, que l'on appelle 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 Le total des générations est donc: d'Abraham à David, quatorze générations; de David à ladéportation de Babylone, quatorze générations; de la déportation de Babylone 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 telle fut la genèse de Jésus Christ. Marie, sa mère, était fiancée à Joseph: or, avant qu'ilseussent mené vie commune, elle se trouva enceinte par le fait 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 Joseph, son mari, qui était un homme juste et ne voulait pas la dénoncer publiquement, résolut dela répudier sans bruit.
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 Alors qu'il avait formé ce dessein, voici que l'Ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe et lui dit:"Joseph, fils de David, ne crains pas de prendre chez toi Marie, ta femme: car ce qui a été engendré en elle vientde l'Esprit Saint;
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 l'appelleras du nom de Jésus: car c'est lui qui sauvera son peuple de sespéchés."
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:	22 Or tout ceci advint pour que s'accomplît cet oracle prophétique du Seigneur:
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 que la vierge concevra et enfantera un fils, et on l'appellera du nom d'Emmanuel, ce qui setraduit: "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 Une fois réveillé, Joseph fit comme l'Ange du Seigneur lui avait prescrit: il prit chez lui safemme;
25 He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.	25 et il ne la connut pas jusqu'au jour où elle enfanta un fils, et il l'appela du nom de Jésus.
