17 [As you can calculate, I have grouped Jesus’] ancestors [as follows: ] There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when] Abraham [lived] to [the time when King] David [lived]. There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when] David [lived] to [the time when] the [Israelites were taken] {[the Babylonian army took the Israelites]} away to Babylon. There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when the Israelites were taken] {[the Babylonian army took the Israelites]} away to Babylon until [the time when] the Messiah [was born].
Näin on sukupolvia Aabrahamista Daavidiin kaikkiaan neljätoista polvea, ja Daavidista Babyloniin siirtämiseen neljätoista polvea, ja Babyloniin siirtämisestä Kristukseen asti neljätoista polvea.
18 This is [the account of what happened just before] Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, {had publicly promised Joseph that she would marry him} had been publicly promised to marry Joseph. Before they began to sleep together, [Mary] realized that she was pregnant. [It was the power of] the Holy Spirit that had caused her to become pregnant.
Jeesuksen Kristuksen syntyminen oli näin. Kun hänen äitinsä Maria oli kihlattu Joosefille, huomattiin hänen ennen heidän yhteenmenoaan olevan raskaana Pyhästä Hengestä.
19 Joseph, her [future] husband, was a man who obeyed God’s commands. [One of those commands was that men must divorce women who had acted immorally. So when Joseph learned that Mary was pregnant, he assumed that she was pregnant as a result of her acting immorally]. So he decided to break the engagement. But because he did not want to shame her publicly, he decided to do it privately.
Mutta kun Joosef, hänen miehensä, oli hurskas, ja koska hän ei tahtonut saattaa häntä häpeään, aikoi hän salaisesti hyljätä hänet.
20 While he was seriously considering this, much to his surprise, in a dream he saw an angel whom the Lord [had sent]. The angel said, “Joseph, descendant of [King] David, do not be afraid that [you(sg) would be doing wrong if you(sg) would marry] Mary. Instead, [begin to treat her] as your wife, because the Holy Spirit, [not a man], has caused her to be pregnant.
Mutta kun hän tätä ajatteli, niin katso, hänelle ilmestyi unessa Herran enkeli, joka sanoi: "Joosef, Daavidin poika, älä pelkää ottaa tykösi Mariaa, vaimoasi; sillä se, mikä hänessä on siinnyt, on Pyhästä Hengestä.
21 She will give birth to a son. Since it is he who will cause that his people will be saved from [the guilt of] their having sinned, name [the baby] Jesus, [which means ‘the Lord saves people’].”
Ja hän on synnyttävä pojan, ja sinun on annettava hänelle nimi Jeesus, sillä hän on vapahtava kansansa heidän synneistänsä."
22 All this happened as a result of what the Lord told the prophet [Isaiah to write long ago about what was going to happen]. This is what Isaiah wrote:
Tämä kaikki on tapahtunut, että kävisi toteen, minkä Herra on puhunut profeetan kautta, joka sanoo:
23 “Listen, a virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will call him Emmanuel.” Emmanuel means ‘God is with us’.
"Katso, neitsyt tulee raskaaksi ja synnyttää pojan, ja tälle on annettava nimi Immanuel", mikä käännettynä on: Jumala meidän kanssamme.
24 When Joseph got up from sleep, he did what the angel whom the Lord [had sent] commanded him to do. He took [Mary] home to be his wife.
Herättyään unesta Joosef teki, niinkuin Herran enkeli oli käskenyt hänen tehdä, ja otti vaimonsa tykönsä
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
eikä yhtynyt häneen, ennenkuin hän oli synnyttänyt pojan. Ja hän antoi hänelle nimen Jeesus.
