So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Il y a donc en tout quatorze générations depuis Abraham jusqu`à David, quatorze générations depuis David jusqu`à la déportation à Babylone, et quatorze générations depuis la déportation à Babylone jusqu`au Christ.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Voici de quelle manière arriva la naissance de Jésus Christ. Marie, sa mère, ayant été fiancée à Joseph, se trouva enceinte, par la vertu du Saint Esprit, avant qu`ils eussent habité ensemble.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

Joseph, son époux, qui était un homme de bien et qui ne voulait pas la diffamer, se proposa de rompre secrètement avec elle.

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Comme il y pensait, voici, un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, et dit: Joseph, fils de David, ne crains pas de prendre avec toi Marie, ta femme, car l`enfant qu`elle a conçu vient du Saint Esprit;

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

elle enfantera un fils, et tu lui donneras le nom de Jésus; c`est lui qui sauvera son peuple de ses péchés.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Tout cela arriva afin que s`accomplît ce que le Seigneur avait annoncé par le prophète:

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Voici, la vierge sera enceinte, elle enfantera un fils, et on lui donnera le nom d`Emmanuel, ce qui signifie Dieu avec nous.

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

Joseph s`étant réveillé fit ce que l`ange du Seigneur lui avait ordonné, et il prit sa femme avec lui.

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Mais il ne la connut point jusqu`à ce qu`elle eût enfanté un fils, auquel il donna le nom de Jésus.
