So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.

Omnes itaque generationes ab Abraham usque ad David, generationes quatuordecim: et a David usque ad transmigrationem Babylonis, generationes quatuordecim: et a transmigratione Babylonis usque ad Christum, generationes quatuordecim.

Thus there are fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the captivity in Babylon, and fourteen from the captivity in Babylon to Christ.

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

Christi autem generatio sic erat: cum esset desponsata mater ejus Maria Joseph, antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto.

And this was the manner of Christ’s birth. His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, but they had not yet come together, when she was found to be with child, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.

Joseph autem vir ejus cum esset justus, et nollet eam traducere, voluit occulte dimittere eam.

Whereupon her husband Joseph (for he was a right-minded man, and would not have her put to open shame) was for sending her away in secret.

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

Hæc autem eo cogitante, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei, dicens: Joseph, fili David, noli timere accipere Mariam conjugem tuam: quod enim in ea natum est, de Spiritu Sancto est.

But hardly had this thought come to his mind, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take thy wife Mary to thyself, for it is by the power of the Holy Ghost that she has conceived this child;

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

Pariet autem filium: et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum.

and she will bear a son, whom thou shalt call Jesus, for he is to save his people from their sins.

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

Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem:

All this was so ordained to fulfil the word which the Lord spoke by his prophet:

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

Ecce virgo in utero habebit, et pariet filium: et vocabunt nomen ejus Emmanuel, quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus.

Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call him Emmanuel (which means, God with us).

And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.

Exsurgens autem Joseph a somno, fecit sicut præcepit ei angelus Domini, et accepit conjugem suam.

And Joseph awoke from sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, taking his wife to himself;

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

Et non cognoscebat eam donec peperit filium suum primogenitum: et vocavit nomen ejus Jesum.

and he had not known her when she bore a son, her first-born, to whom he gave the name Jesus.
