Matthew - Chapter 1

This is the book of the genealogy of Yeshua Mshikha* Bar David Bar Avraham. 2 Avraham fathered Yitzchak. Yitzchak fathered Ya'aqub. Ya'aqub fathered Yudah and his brothers. 3 Yudah fathered Perez and Zerach by Tamar. Perez fathered Chezron. Chezron fathered Ram. 4 Ram fathered Amminadab. Amminadab fathered Nachshon. Nachshon fathered Salmon. 5 Salmon fathered Bo'az by Rahab. Bo'az fathered Oved by Rut. Oved fathered Ishai. 6 Ishai fathered David the king. David fathered Shlomo by the wife of Uri'ya. 7 Shlomo fathered Rehoboam. Rehoboam fathered Avi'ya. Avi'ya fathered Asa. 8 Asa fathered Yehoshaphat. Yehoshaphat fathered Yoram. Yoram fathered Uzi'yahu.

9 Uzi'yahu fathered Yotam. Yotam fathered Achaz. Achaz fathered Chezeki'ya. 10 Chezeki'ya fathered Menasha. Manasha fathered Amon. Amon fathered Yoshi'ya. 11 Yoshi'ya fathered Yechani'ya and his brothers, during the captivity of Babylon*.

12 After the captivity to Babylon, Yechani'ya fathered Shealtiel. Shealtiel fathered Zerubavel. 13 Zerubavel fathered Avichud. Avichud fathered Eliakim. Eliakim fathered Azor. 14 Azor fathered Zadok. Zadok fathered Achim. Achim fathered Eliud. 15 Eliud fathered Eleazar. Eleazar fathered Mattan. Mattan fathered Ya'aqub. 16 Ya'aqub fathered Yoseph, the relative of Miriam, from whom was born Yeshua*, who is called the Anointed. 17 Therefore all the generations from Avraham to David were fourteen generations; and from David to the captivity of Babylon were fourteen generations; and from the captivity to Babylon to the Mshikha were fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this; while his mother, Miriam, was engaged to Yoseph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit*. 19 Yoseph, her lord, being just, and not desiring to expose her, secretly thought about dismissing her. 20 While he was thinking on these things, an angel of Mar-Yah* appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Yoseph, son of David, do not have fear to take Miriam as your wife, for he that is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She shall bear a son and she shall call his name Yeshua, for he shall save his people from their sins."

22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Mar-Yah through the prophet, saying, 23 "Behold, a virgin will conceive, and give birth to a son. And they will call his name Immanuel;" which is interpreted, "Our God with us."* 24 Yoseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of Mar-Yah commanded him, and took his wife; 25 and did not know her [in a conjugal manner] until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And she called his name Yeshua.
