Matthæus 1
1 Jesu Kristi, Davids Søns, Abrahams Søns, Slægtebog.
A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham avlede Isak; og Isak avlede Jakob; og Jakob avlede Juda og hans Brødre;
Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
3 og Juda avlede Fares og Zara med Thamar; og Fares avlede Esrom; og Esrom avlede Aram;
and Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,
4 og Aram avlede Aminadab; og Aminadab avlede Nasson; og Nasson avlede Salmon;
and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,
5 og Salmon avlede Boas med Rakab; og Boas avlede Obed med Ruth; og Obed avlede Isaj;
and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse,
6 og Isaj avlede Kong David; og David avlede Salomon med Urias's Hustru;
and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
7 og Salomon avlede Roboam; og Roboam avlede Abia; og Abia avlede Asa;
and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
8 og Asa avlede Josafat; og Josafat avlede Joram; og Joram avlede Ozias;
and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
9 og Ozias avlede Joatham; og Joatham avlede Akas; og Akas avlede Ezekias;
and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
10 og Ezekias avlede Manasse; og Manasse avlede Amon; og Amon avlede Josias;
and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
11 og Josias avlede Jekonias og hans Brødre paa den Tid, da Bortførelsen til Babylon fandt Sted.
and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 Men efter Bortførelsen til Babylon avlede Jekonias Salathiel; og Salathiel avlede Zorobabel;
And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13 og Zorobabel avlede Abiud; og Abiud avlede Eliakim; og Eliakim avlede Azor;
and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,
14 og Azor avlede Sadok; og Sadok avlede Akim; og Akim avlede Eliud;
and Azzur the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Ahiam, and Ahiam the father of Elihud,
15 og Eliud avlede Eleazar; og Eleazar avlede Matthan; og Matthan avlede Jakob;
and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
16 og Jakob avlede Josef, Marias Mand; af hende blev Jesus født, som kaldes Kristus.
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
17 Altsaa ere alle Slægtledene fra Abraham indtil David fjorten Slægtled, og fra David indtil Bortførelsen til Babylon fjorten Slægtled, og fra Bortførelsen til Babylon indtil Kristus fjorten Slægtled.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Men med Jesu Kristi Fødsel gik det saaledes til. Da Maria, hans Moder, var trolovet med Josef, fandtes hun, førend de kom sammen, at være frugtsommelig af den Helligaand.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Men da Josef, hendes Mand, var retfærdig og ikke vilde beskæmme hende offentligt, besluttede han hemmeligt at skille sig fra hende.
And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 Men idet han tænkte derpaa, se, da viste en Herrens Engel sig for ham i en Drøm og sagde: „Josef, Davids Søn! frygt ikke for at tage din Hustru Maria til dig; thi det, som er avlet i hende, er af den Helligaand.
But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Og hun skal føde en Søn, og du skal kalde hans Navn Jesus; thi han skal frelse sit Folk fra deres Synder.‟
And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Men dette er alt sammen sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt af Herren ved Profeten, som siger:
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 „Se, Jomfruen skal blive frugtsommelig og føde en Søn, og man skal kalde hans Navn Immanuel‟, hvilket er udlagt: Gud med os.
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 Men da Josef vaagnede op af Søvnen, gjorde han, som Herrens Engel havde befalet ham, og han tog sin Hustru til sig.
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Og han kendte hende ikke, førend hun havde født sin Søn, den førstefødte, og han kaldte hans Navn Jesus.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
