So in that family there were 14 fathers from Abraham to David, and there were 14 fathers from David until the time they all had to go to Babylon, and there were 14 fathers from that Babylon time until the time God sent Jesus to the world.
18 Bada Iesus Christen sortzea hunela içan da. Ecen Maria haren ama Iosephequin fedatua cela, hec elkargana gabe, içorra eriden cedin Spiritu sainduaganic.
This is the story about how Jesus was born. He is the man that God talked about a long time ago. God promised to send him to us. Mary was promised to a man called Joseph, but they hadn’t slept together yet, like married people do. Then the Holy Spirit made a baby grow inside Mary.
19 Orduan bere senhar Iosephec, ceren iusto baitzen eta ezpaitzuen hura diffamatu nahi, secretuqui vtzi nahi vkan çuen.
Joseph found out that Mary was going to have a baby, and he was not happy. He knew that the baby wasn’t his, so he wanted to leave Mary. But he was a good man, and he didn’t want to shame her. So he thought, “I will just leave her quietly, without any argument.”
20 Baina gauça hauc gogoan cerabiltzala, huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä aguer cequion ametsetaric, cioela, Ioseph Dauid-en semeá, ezaicela beldur eure emazte Mariaren hartzera: ecen hartan concebitu dena, Spiritu sainduaganic duc.
While Joseph thought about that, he went to sleep and had a dream. He saw an angel messenger from God. The angel said, “Joseph, you are from the family of David. Look, you can go ahead and marry Mary. Don’t be too frightened to do that. You see, her baby is from the Holy Spirit, not from another man.
21 Eta erdiren duc seme batez eta deithuren duc haren icena Iesus. Ecen harc saluaturen dic bere populua hayen bekatuetaric.
She will have a baby boy, and you will name him Jesus. (That name Jesus means God saves.) You see, he will save his people, so that God will not punish them for the bad things they do.”
22 Bada haur gucia eguin içan da, Iaunac Prophetáz erran vkan çuena compli ledinçát, cioela,
That all happened just like God told one of his men to write in God’s book, a long time ago. He wrote,
23 Huná, virginabat içorra içanen da, eta erdiren da seme batez, eta deithuren duté haren icena Emmanuel, cein erran nahi baita hambat nola, Iaincoa gurequin.
“There will be a young woman that never slept with a man, like a woman does with her husband, but she will have a baby boy. That boy will have a special name, Immanuel. That name means God is with us.”
24 Lotaric iratzarturic bada Iosephec eguin ceçan Aingueruäc manatu ceraucan beçala, eta har ceçan bere emaztea.
Joseph woke up and did what God’s angel told him to do. He married Mary.
25 Eta etzeçan hura eçagut, bere lehen semeaz erdi cedino: eta deiceçan haren icena Iesus.
But he did not sleep with her, like a man does with his wife, until after her son was born. And he named the baby Jesus.
