Mattithyahu 1-2
Mat 1:1 The book of the genealogy of יהושע Messiah, Son of Dawiḏ, Son of Avraham:
Mat 1:2 Avraham brought forth Yitzchak, and Yitzchak brought forth Yaʽaqoḇ, and Yaʽaqoḇ brought forth Y’huḏah and his brothers.
Mat 1:3 And Y’huḏah brought forth Perets and Zeraḥ by Tamar, and Perets brought forth Ḥetsron, and Ḥetsron brought forth Ram.
Mat 1:4 And Ram brought forth Amminaḏaḇ, and Amminaḏaḇ brought forth Naḥshon, and Naḥshon brought forth Salmon.
Mat 1:5 And Salmon brought forth Boʽaz by Raḥaḇ, and Boʽaz brought forth Oḇĕḏ by Ruth, and Oḇĕḏ brought forth Yishai.
Mat 1:6 And Yishai brought forth Dawiḏ HaMelech, and Dawiḏ HaMelech brought forth Shelomoh by Uriyah’s wife.
Mat 1:7 And Shelomoh brought forth Reḥaḇʽam, and Reḥaḇʽam1 brought forth Aḇiyah, and Aḇiyah brought forth Asa. Footnote: 1His mother was an Ammorite - 1 Ki. 14:21,31.
Mat 1:8 And Asa brought forth Yehoshaphat, and Yehoshaphat brought forth Yoram, and Yoram brought forth Uzziyah.
Mat 1:9 And Uzziyah brought forth Yotham, and Yotham brought forth Aḥaz, and Aḥaz brought forth Ḥizqiyahu.
Mat 1:10 And Ḥizqiyahu brought forth Menashsheh, and Menashsheh brought forth Amon, and Amon brought forth Yoshiyahu.
Mat 1:11 And Yoshiyahu brought forth Yeḵonyah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Baḇel.
Mat 1:12 And after the exile to Baḇel, Yeḵonyah brought forth She’alti’ĕl, and She’alti’ĕl brought forth Zerubbaḇel.
Mat 1:13 And Zerubbaḇel brought forth Aḇihuḏ, and Aḇihuḏ brought forth Elyaqim, and Elyaqim brought forth Azor.
Mat 1:14 And Azor brought forth Tsaḏoq, and Tsaḏoq brought forth Aqim, and Aqim brought forth Elihuḏ.
Mat 1:15 And Elihuḏ brought forth Elʽazar, and Elʽazar brought forth Mattan, and Mattan brought forth Yaʽaqoḇ.
Mat 1:16 And Yaʽaqoḇ brought forth Yosĕph the father of Miryam, of whom was born יהושע who is called Moshiach.
Mat 1:17 So all the generations from Avraham to Dawiḏ were fourteen generations, and from Dawiḏ until the exile to Baḇel were fourteen generations, and from the exile to Baḇel until HaMoshiach were fourteen generations.
Mat 1:18 But the birth of יהושע HaMoshiach was as follows: After His mother Miryam was engaged to Yosĕph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant from the Ruach HaKodesh.
Mat 1:19 And Yosĕph her husband, being righteous, and not wishing to make a show of her, had in mind to put her away secretly.
Mat 1:20 But while he thought about this, see, a messenger of יהוה appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Yosĕph, son of Dawiḏ, do not be afraid to take Miryam as your wife, for that which is in her was brought forth from the Ruach HaKodesh.
Mat 1:21 “And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name יהושע for He shall save1 His people from their sins.” Footnote: 1This is the precise meaning of the Heḇrew of His Name.
Mat 1:22 And all this came to be in order to fill what was spoken by יהוה through the navi, saying,
Mat 1:23 “See, a maiden shall conceive, and she shall give birth to a Son, and they shall call His Name Immanu’ĕl,” which translated, means, “Ěl with us.”
Mat 1:24 And Yosĕph, awaking from his sleep, did as the messenger of יהוה commanded him and took his wife,
Mat 1:25 but knew her not until she gave birth to her Son, the first-born. And he called His Name יהושע.
Mat 2:1 And יהושע having been born in Bĕyth Leḥem of Y’huḏah in the days of Herodes HaMelech, see, Magi from the East came to Yerushalayim,
Mat 2:2 saying, “Where is He who has been born Sovereign of the Y’huḏim? For we saw His star in the East and have come to do reverence to Him.”
Mat 2:3 And Herodes HaMelech, having heard, was troubled, and all Yerushalayim with him.
Mat 2:4 And having gathered all the chief kohanim and scribes of the people together, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.
Mat 2:5 And they said to him, “In Bĕyth Leḥem of Y’huḏah, for thus it has been written by the navi,
Mat 2:6 ‘But you, Bĕyth Leḥem, in the
Mat 2:7 Then Herodes, having called the Magi secretly, learned exactly from them what time the star appeared.
Mat 2:8 And having sent them to Bĕyth Leḥem, he said, “Go and search diligently for the Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, so that I too might go and do reverence to Him.”
Mat 2:9 And having heard the sovereign, they went. And see, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, until it came and stood over where the Child was.
Mat 2:10 And seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Mat 2:11 And coming into the house, they saw the Child with Miryam His mother, and fell down and did reverence to Him, and opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Mat 2:12 And having been warned in a dream that they should not return to Herodes, they departed for their own country by another way.
Mat 2:13 And when they had left, see, a messenger of יהוה appeared to Yosĕph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the Child and His mother, and flee to Mitsrayim, and remain there until I bring you word, for Herodes is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”
Mat 2:14 And rising up, he took the Child and His mother by night and departed for Mitsrayim,
Mat 2:15 and remained there until the death of Herodes, to fill what was spoken by יהוה through the prophet, saying, “Out of Mitsrayim I have called My Son.”1 Footnote:1Ex. 4:22-23, Hos. 11:1, Rev. 21:7
Mat 2:16 Then Herodes, having seen that he was fooled by the Magi, was greatly enraged, and he sent forth and slew all the male children in Bĕyth Leḥem and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learnt from the Magi.
Mat 2:17 Then was filled what was spoken by Yirmeyahu the navi, saying,
Mat 2:18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and weeping, and great mourning – Raḥĕl weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they were no more.”
Mat 2:19 And Herodes having died, see, a messenger of יהוה appeared in a dream to Yosĕph in Mitsrayim,
Mat 2:20 saying, “Arise, and take the Child and His mother, and go into the
Mat 2:21 And rising up, he took the Child and His mother, and came into the
Mat 2:22 But hearing that Archelaos was reigning over Yehuḏah instead of his father Herodes, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he departed to the parts of Galil,
Mat 2:23 and came and dwelt in a city called Natsareth – thus to fill what was spoken by the Nevi'im, “He shall be called a Natsarene.”
