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].
Astfel, toate generațiile de la Avraam până la David sunt de paisprezece generații; de la David până la exilul în Babilon, paisprezece generații; și de la exilul în Babilon până la Hristos, paisprezece generații.
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.
Iată cum a fost nașterea lui Isus Hristos: După ce mama Lui, Maria, a fost logodită cu Iosif, înainte de a fi împreună, a fost găsită însărcinată de Duhul Sfânt.
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.
Iosif, soțul ei, care era un om drept și care nu voia să facă din ea un exemplu public, a vrut să o renege în secret.
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.
Dar când se gândea la aceste lucruri, iată că un înger al Domnului i s-a arătat în vis și i-a zis: “Iosif, fiul lui David, nu te teme să iei de soție pe Maria, căci ceea ce este conceput în ea este de la Duhul Sfânt.
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’].”
Ea va naște un fiu. Să-i pui numele Isus, căci El este cel care va mântui poporul Său de păcatele sale.”
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:
Și toate acestea s-au întâmplat ca să se împlinească ce a spus Domnul prin proorocul care a zis,
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’.
“Iată, fecioara va rămâne însărcinată, și va da naștere unui fiu. Îi vor pune numele Emanuel”. care este, fiind interpretat, “Dumnezeu cu noi”.
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.
Iosif s-a sculat din somn, a făcut cum îi poruncise îngerul Domnului și a luat la el pe nevastă-sa,
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
și n-a cunoscut-o până ce n-a născut pe fiul ei cel întâi născut. I-a pus numele Isus.
