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 Si hanno, dunque, in tutto quattordici generazioni da Abramo a David; quattordici da David alla deportazione in Babilonia, e quattordici dalla deportazione in Babilonia a Cristo.
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 La nascita di Cristo avvenne in questo modo. Essendo Maria, sua madre, fidanzata a Giuseppe, prima che fossero venuti ad abitare insieme, si trovò che ella aveva concepito per virtù dello Spirito Santo.
19 Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.	19 Giuseppe, suo sposo, che era uomo giusto e non la voleva esporre all'infamia, decise di lasciarla segretamente.
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 Mentre egli stava ripensando a queste cose, gli apparve in sogno un angelo del Signore, che gli disse: «Giuseppe, figlio di David, non aver timore a prenderti in moglie Maria, perchè quel che è nato in lei è opera dello Spirito Santo.
21 She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."	21 Ella darà alla luce un figlio, che tu chiamerai Gesù, poichè salverà il suo popolo dai loro peccati».
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:	22 Tutto ciò avvenne affinchè si adempisse quanto aveva detto il Signore a mezzo del profeta:
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 «Ecco, la Vergine concepirà e darà alla luce un figlio, che sarà chiamato Emmanuele», il che vuol dire: «Dio con noi».
24 When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.	24 Svegliatosi dal sonno, Giuseppe fece come gli aveva comandato l'angelo del Signore e, presa con sè la sua sposa,
25 He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.	25 non la conobbe finchè ella diede alla luce il figlio suo primogenito, a cui pose nome Gesù.
