OET (OET-LV) Therefore all the generations from Abraʼam/(ʼAⱱrāhām) to Dawid/(Dāvid) were fourteen generations, and from Dawid until the deportation to_Babulōn fourteen generations, and from the deportation to_Babulōn to the chosen_one/messiah fourteen generations.

OET (OET-RV) So the generations from Abraham to David numbered fourteen, from David to the deportation to Babylon there were fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the messiah there were fourteen generations.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:1–17: A list of Jesus’ ancestors

Matthew began his book by listing the names of Jesus’ ancestors. He did this to show that Jesus came from the family line of King David and Abraham. By doing this, Matthew showed his readers that the Messiah had come and that he was Jesus.

In this list, Matthew divided the names into three groups of fourteen. In order to get fourteen names in each of the three groups, Matthew omitted several names. (Omitting names to achieve numerical groups was a common practice at that time.) So sometimes the word “father” actually refers to the grandfather. As a result, it may be better in some languages to translate the word “father” with a more general term such as “ancestor.”

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The ancestors of Jesus

Matthew wrote/gave the list of the family line of Jesus

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 3:23–38.

1:17a

In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David,

In all, then: In this context, the Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as In all, then indicates that 1:17 is a summary of 1:2–16.

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

Thus (NIV)

So then (GNT)

All those listed above include (NLT)

there were fourteen generations: The word “generation” here refers to a person and the people in his age group. A father and his age group represent one generation. His son and his age group represent a second generation. His son’s son and his age group represent a third generation.

1:17b

fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon,

the exile to Babylon: Translate this phrase as you did in 1:11b.

1:17c

and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.

to the Christ: The phrase to the Christ refers to the birth of the Christ.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

to the birth of the Messiah (GNT)

until Christ was born (NCV)

up to the time that the Messiah was born

Translate the Christ here as you did in 1:16b.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπὸ Ἀβραὰμ ἕως Δαυεὶδ γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες, καὶ ἀπὸ Δαυεὶδ ἕως τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος ἕως τοῦ Χριστοῦ γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πάσαι Οὖν αἱ γενεαί ἀπό Ἀβραάμ ἕως Δαυίδ γενεαί δεκατέσσαρες καί ἀπό Δαυίδ ἕως τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος γενεαί δεκατέσσαρες καί ἀπό τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος ἕως τοῦ Χριστοῦ γενεαί δεκατέσσαρες)

In order to count 14 generations from Abraham until David, both Abraham and David need to be included. To count 14 generations from David until the Babylonian deportation, David needs to be excluded but Jechoniah needs to be included. To count 14 generations from the Babylonian deportation until the Christ, both Jechoniah and Jesus need to be included. Consider how you might express the calculations so that they match with the list. Alternate translation: [from Abraham up to and including David were 14 generations, and after David and until the Babylonian deportation were 14 generations, and starting with the Babylonian deportation and counting up to and including the Christ were 14 generations]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence -1) τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πάσαι Οὖν αἱ γενεαί ἀπό Ἀβραάμ ἕως Δαυίδ γενεαί δεκατέσσαρες καί ἀπό Δαυίδ ἕως τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος γενεαί δεκατέσσαρες καί ἀπό τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος ἕως τοῦ Χριστοῦ γενεαί δεκατέσσαρες)

Matthew refers to the same event that he referred to in [1:11–12](../01/11.md). Express the idea in the same way you did in those verses. Alternate translation: [the Babylonians captured Jerusalem and took many people away … when that happened]

OET (OET-LV) Therefore all the generations from Abraʼam/(ʼAⱱrāhām) to Dawid/(Dāvid) were fourteen generations, and from Dawid until the deportation to_Babulōn fourteen generations, and from the deportation to_Babulōn to the chosen_one/messiah fourteen generations.

OET (OET-RV) So the generations from Abraham to David numbered fourteen, from David to the deportation to Babylon there were fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the messiah there were fourteen generations.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
