16 Jacob was the father of Joseph. Joseph was Mary’s husband, and Mary was Jesus’ mother. Jesus is the one who is called {whom we call} the Messiah.
Jacob engendró a José, el esposo de María, de la cual nació Jesús, el llamado Cristo.
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].
Así que todas las generaciones son: desde Abrahán hasta David, catorce generaciones; desde David hasta la deportación a Babilonia, catorce generaciones; desde la deportación a Babilonia hasta Cristo, catorce generaciones.
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.
La generación de Jesucristo fue como sigue: Desposada su madre María con José, se halló antes de vivir juntos ellos, que había concebido del Espíritu Santo.
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.
José, su esposo, como era justo y no quería delatarla, se proponía despedirla en secreto.
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.
Mas mientras andaba con este pensamiento, he aquí que un ángel del Señor se le apareció en sueños y le dijo: “José, hijo de David, no temas recibir a María tu esposa, porque su concepción es del Espíritu Santo.
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’].”
Dará a luz un hijo, y le pondrás por nombre Jesús ( Salvador ), porque Él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados”.
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:
Todo esto sucedió para que se cumpliese la palabra que había dicho el Señor por el profeta:
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’.
Ved ahí que la virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo, y le pondrán el nombre de Emmanuel, que se traduce: “Dios con nosotros”.
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.
Cuando despertó del sueño, hizo José como el ángel del Señor le había mandado, y recibió a su esposa.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
Y sin que la conociera, dio ella a luz un hijo y le puso por nombre Jesús.
