This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

1:1 The Jewish ancestors of the messiah

(Luke 3:23-38)

1 This is a genealogy of Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) the messiah (Grk. Christ) a descendant of King David, a descendant of Avraham (Grk. Abraam).

2 Avraham was the father of Yitshak (Isaac), Yitshak the father of Ya’akov (Jacob; Grk. Yakob), Ya’akov the father of Yehudah (Judah; Grk. Yudas) and his brothers. 3 Yehudah was the father of Perets (Grk. Fares) and Zerah (Grk. Zara) through Tamar (Grk. Thamar), Perets the father of Hetsron (Grk. Hesrom), Hetsron the father of Ram, 4 Ram the father of Aminadav, Aminadav the father of Nahshon (Grk. Naasson), Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 Salmon the father of Boaz (Grk. Boes/Boos) through Rahav, Boaz the father of Oved (Grk. Yobed/Yobel) through Ruth,[ref] and Oved the father of Yishay (Jesse; Grk. Yessai), 6 and Yishay the father of David the king.

David was the father of Shelomoh (Solomon; Grk. Solomon/Salomon) through Uriyah’s (Grk. Urias’) wife, 7 Shelomoh was the father of Rehav’am (Rehoboam; Grk. Roboam), Rehav’am the father of Aviyah (Grk. Abia), Aviyah the father of Asa (Grk. Asaf), 8 Asa the father of Yehoshafat (Jehoshaphat; Grk. Yosafat). Yehoshafat the father of Yoram (Joram), Yoram the father of Uziyah, 9 Uziyah the father of Yotam (Jotham; Grk. Yoatham), Yotam the father of Ahaz (Grk. Akaz), Ahaz the father of Hizkiyah (Hezekiah; Grk. Hezekias), 10 Hizkiyah the father of Menasheh (Manasseh; Grk. Manasses), Menasheh the father of Amon (Grk. Amos), Amon the father of Yoshiyah (Josiah; Grk. Yosias), 11 Yoshiyah was the father of Yekaneyah (Grk. Yekonias) and his brothers, when they were deported to Bavel (Babylon; Grk. Babulon).[ref]

12 Then after the deportation to Bavel, Yekaneyah was the father of Shealtiyel (Grk. Salathiel), Shealtiyel was the father of Zerubavel (Grk. Zorobabel), 13 Zerubavel was the father of Avihud (Grk. Abiud), Avihud was the father of Elyakim, and Elyakim the father of Azor, 14 Azor the father of Tsadok, Tsadok the father of Akim, Akim the father of Eliud, 15 Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matan, Matan the father of Ya’akov (Jacob; Grk. Yakob), 16 Ya’akov the father of Yosef (Joseph), the husband of Maria (Mary; Heb. Miryam; Grk. Maria/Mariam) who Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), the one called the messiah was born to.

17 So the generations from Avraham to David numbered fourteen, from David to the deportation to Bavel there were fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Bavel to the messiah there were fourteen generations.

1:18 The messiah’s birth

(Luke 1:26-38; 2:1-7)

18 Now this is how the birth of Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) came about: Maria (Mary; Heb. Miryam; Grk. Maria/Mariam) his mother was engaged to Yosef (Joseph).[ref] But before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the work of the holy spirit. 19 But her husband to be, Yosef, was a godly man, and not wishing to disgrace Maria, he decided to quietly divorce her. 20 But as he was pondering that, one of Yahweh’s messengers appeared to him in a dream and told him, “Yosef, descendant of King David, don’t be afraid to marry Maria, because the baby in her has been conceived by the holy spirit. 21 In due course she’ll have a son and you’ll name him Yeshua,[ref] because he’ll save his people from their sins.”

22 Now all that happened in fulfilment of what Yahweh had said through the prophet, 23 “Listen, the virgin will get pregnant and she’ll have a son, and they’ll call him Imanu-El (Grk. Emmanuel) (in Hebrew) which means ‘God with us.’ ”[ref]

24 Then Yosef got up and did what Yahweh’s messenger had commanded him, and he went ahead and married Maria, 25 but he didn’t sleep with her until after she had given birth. Yosef named the boy Yeshua.[ref]


1:5: Rut 4:13,17.
