| 1 | 6 | And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias. | David autem rex genuit Salomonem ex ea quae fuit Uriae |
| 1 | 7 | And Solomon begot Roboam. And Roboam begot Abia. And Abia begot Asa. | Salomon autem genuit Roboam Roboam autem genuit Abiam Abia autem genuit Asa |
| 1 | 8 | And Asa begot Josaphat. And Josaphat begot Joram. And Joram begot Ozias. | Asa autem genuit Iosaphat Iosaphat autem genuit Ioram Ioram autem genuit Oziam |
| 1 | 9 | And Ozias begot Joatham. And Joatham begot Achaz. And Achaz begot Ezechias. | Ozias autem genuit Ioatham Ioatham autem genuit Achaz Achaz autem genuit Ezechiam |
| 1 | 10 | And Ezechias begot Manasses. And Manasses begot Amon. And Amon begot Josias. | Ezechias autem genuit Manassen Manasses autem genuit Amon Amon autem genuit Iosiam |
| 1 | 11 | And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon. | Iosias autem genuit Iechoniam et fratres eius in transmigratione Babylonis |
| 1 | 12 | And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias begot Salathiel. And Salathiel begot Zorobabel. | et post transmigrationem Babylonis Iechonias genuit Salathihel Salathihel autem genuit Zorobabel |

| 1 | 17 | 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 ergo generationes ab Abraham usque ad David generationes quattuordecim et a David usque ad transmigrationem Babylonis generationes quattuordecim et a transmigratione Babylonis usque ad Christum generationes quattuordecim |
| 1 | 18 | 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 eius Maria Ioseph antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto |
| 1 | 19 | Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately. | Ioseph autem vir eius cum esset iustus et nollet eam traducere voluit occulte dimittere eam |
| 1 | 20 | 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. | haec autem eo cogitante ecce angelus Domini in somnis apparuit ei dicens Ioseph fili David noli timere accipere Mariam coniugem tuam quod enim in ea natum est de Spiritu Sancto est |
| 1 | 21 | 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 eius Iesum ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum |
| 1 | 22 | 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 id quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem |
| 1 | 23 | 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 eius Emmanuhel quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus |
| 1 | 24 | And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife. | exsurgens autem Ioseph a somno fecit sicut praecepit ei angelus Domini et accepit coniugem suam |
| 1 | 25 | And he knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and he called his name Jesus. | et non cognoscebat eam donec peperit filium suum primogenitum et vocavit nomen eius Iesum |
