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.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
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.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by 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.
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 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 when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as 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."
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall 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.
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “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.
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 didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
