11 og Josias avlede Jekonias og hans Brødre på den Tid, da Bortførelsen til Babylon fandt Sted.
and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 Men efter Bortførelsen til Babylon avlede Jekonias Salathiel; og Salathiel avlede Zorobabel;
After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13 og Zorobabel avlede Abiud; og Abiud avlede Eliakim: og Eliakim avlede Azor;
Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
14 og Azor avlede Sadok; og Sadok avlede Akim; og Akim avlede Eliud;

Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, 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, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Altså 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.
In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
18 Men med Jesu Kristi Fødsel gik det således til. Da Maria, hans Moder, var trolovet med Josef, fandtes hun, førend de kom sammen, at være frugtsommelig af den Helligånd.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through 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.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 Men idet han tænkte derpå, 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 Helligånd.
But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from 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."
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because 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:
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 "Se, Jomfruen skal blive frugtsommelig og føde en Søn, og man skal kalde hans Navn Immanuel", hvilket er udlagt: Gud med os.
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Men da Josef vågnede op at Søvnen, gjorde han, som Herrens Engel havde befalet ham, og han tog sin Hustru til sig.
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 Og han kendte hende ikke, førend hun havde født sin Søn, den førstefødte, og han kaldte hans Navn Jesus.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
