Matthäus 1 | Segond 21

Généalogie et naissance de Jésus-Christ

1 Voici la généalogie de Jésus-Christ, fils de David, fils d'Abraham.

2 Abraham eut pour fils Isaac; Isaac eut Jacob; Jacob eut Juda et ses frères;

3 Juda eut Pérets et Zérach de Tamar; Pérets eut Hetsrom; Hetsrom eut Aram;

4 Aram eut pour fils Aminadab; Aminadab eut Nachshon; Nachshon eut Salmon;

5 Salmon eut Boaz de Rahab; Boaz eut Obed de Ruth;

6 Obed eut pour fils Isaï; Isaï eut David. Le roi David eut Salomon de la femme d'Urie;

7 Salomon eut pour fils Roboam; Roboam eut Abija; Abija eut Asa;

8 Asa eut pour fils Josaphat; Josaphat eut Joram; Joram eut Ozias;

9 Ozias eut pour fils Jotham; Jotham eut Achaz; Achaz eut Ezéchias;

10 Ezéchias eut pour fils Manassé; Manassé eut Amon; Amon eut Josias;

11 Josias eut pour descendants Jéconias et ses frères, à l'époque de la déportation à Babylone.

12 Après la déportation à Babylone, Jéconias eut pour fils Shealthiel; Shealthiel eut Zorobabel;

13 Zorobabel eut pour fils Abiud; Abiud eut Eliakim; Eliakim eut Azor;

14 Azor eut pour fils Sadok; Sadok eut Achim; Achim eut Eliud;

15 Eliud eut pour fils Eléazar; Eléazar eut Matthan; Matthan eut Jacob;

16 Jacob eut pour fils Joseph, l'époux de Marie, de laquelle est né Jésus, qu'on appelle le Christ*.

17 Il y a donc en tout 14 générations depuis Abraham jusqu'à David, 14 générations depuis David jusqu'à la déportation à Babylone et 14 générations depuis la déportation à Babylone jusqu'au Christ.

18 Voici de quelle manière arriva la naissance de Jésus-Christ. Marie, sa mère, était fiancée à Joseph; or, avant qu'ils aient habité ensemble, elle se trouva enceinte par l'action du Saint-Esprit.

19 Joseph, son fiancé, qui était un homme juste et qui ne voulait pas l'exposer au déshonneur, se proposa de rompre secrètement avec elle.

20 Comme il y pensait, un ange du Seigneur lui apparut dans un rêve et dit: «Joseph, descendant de David, n'aie pas peur de prendre Marie pour femme, car l'enfant qu'elle porte vient du Saint-Esprit.

21 Elle mettra au monde un fils et tu lui donneras le nom de Jésus* car c'est lui qui sauvera son peuple de ses péchés.»

22 Tout cela arriva afin que s'accomplisse ce que le Seigneur avait annoncé par le prophète:

23 La vierge sera enceinte, elle mettra au monde un fils et on l'appellera Emmanuel*, ce qui signifie «Dieu avec nous».

24 A son réveil, Joseph fit ce que l'ange du Seigneur lui avait ordonné et il prit sa femme chez lui,

25 mais il n'eut pas de relations conjugales avec elle jusqu'à ce qu'elle ait mis au monde un fils [premier-né] auquel il donna le nom de Jésus.

The genealogy of Jesus the Messiah

1 This is the genealogy* of Jesus the Messiah* the son of David, the son of Abraham:

2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram,

4 Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon,

5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,

6 and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah’s wife,

7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa,

8 Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram, Jehoram the father of Uzziah,

9 Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,

10 Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,

11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah* and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

13 Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor,

14 Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Akim, Akim the father of Elihud,

15 Elihud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.

17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.

Joseph accepts Jesus as his son

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about*: his mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet* did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,* because he will save his people from their sins.’

22 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had said through the prophet:

23 ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel’ (which means ‘God with us’).

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
