1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Þessir eru forfeður Jesú Krists, afkomanda Davíðs konungs og Abrahams:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
Abraham var faðir Ísaks. Ísak var faðir Jakobs. Jakob var faðir Júda og bræðra hans.

4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,

6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;
en Ísaí faðir Davíðs konungs og Davíð faðir Salómons (móðir hans var ekkja Úría).
7 and Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa;
Salómon var faðir Róbóams og sonur hans var Abía. Abía var faðir Asafs.
8 and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,
Asaf var faðir Jósafats. Jósafat var faðir Jórams og Jóram faðir Ússía.
9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah;
Ússía var faðir Jótams, en sonur hans var Akas og Esekía var sonur hans.
10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,
Esekía var faðir Manasse, en hann var faðir Amoss og Amos faðir Jósía.
11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
Jósía var faðir Jekonja og bræðra hans (þeir fæddust í herleiðingunni til Babýlon).
12 And after the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Eftir herleiðinguna: Jekonja var faðir Sealtíels, Sealtíel var faðir Serúbabels,
13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, and Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azzur,
Serúbabel faðir Abíúds og Abíúd faðir Eljakíms. Eljakím var faðir Asórs,
14 and Azzur the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Ahiam, and Ahiam the father of Elihud,
en sonur hans var Sadók. Og Sadók var faðir Akíms, Akím faðir Elíúds
15 and Elihud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob,
og Elíúd faðir Eleasars. Eleasar var faðir Mattans, Mattan faðir Jakobs og
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.
Jakob faðir Jósefs en hann var eiginmaður Maríu, móður Jesú Krists.
17 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.
Þetta eru fjórtán ættliðir frá Abraham til Davíðs konungs, fjórtán ættliðir frá Davíð fram að herleiðingunni og einnig fjórtán ættliðir frá herleiðingunni fram til Krists.
18 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.
Aðdragandinn að fæðingu Jesú var á þessa leið: María móðir hans var trúlofuð Jósef. Hún varð þunguð af völdum heilags anda meðan hún var enn ósnortin mey.
19 And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Jósef, unnusti hennar, sem var mjög sómakær maður, ákvað þá að slíta trúlofuninni í kyrrþey, því að hann vildi ekki valda henni opinberri smán.
20 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.
Eitt sinn er hann var að íhuga þetta á andvökunóttu, sofnaði hann og dreymdi að engill stóð hjá honum og sagði: „Jósef, sonur Davíðs, hikaðu ekki við að kvænast Maríu, því að barnið sem hún gengur með, er getið af heilögum anda.
21 And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Hún mun eignast son, og þú skalt láta hann heita Jesú (sem þýðir Guð frelsar), því að hann mun frelsa þjóð sína frá syndum hennar.
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Þannig mun rætast það sem spámaður Guðs sagði:
23 "Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel;" which is translated, "God with us."
„Takið eftir! Meyjan mun þunguð verða! Hún mun fæða son og hann verða kallaður „Immanúel“(en það þýðir Guð er með okkur)“.“
24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Þegar Jósef vaknaði, ákvað hann að gera eins og engillinn hafði sagt honum og ganga að eiga Maríu,
25 and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
þau höfðu þó ekki kynmök fyrr en eftir að sonurinn var fæddur. Og Jósef gaf drengnum nafnið Jesús.
