Matthew 1
1 [This is] the record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, the descendant of [King] David and of Abraham, [from whom all we Jews have descended].
Het boek des geslachts van JEZUS CHRISTUS, den Zoon van David, den zoon van Abraham.

En Elihud gewon Eleazar, en Eleazar gewon Matthan, en Matthan gewon Jakob;
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.
En Jakob gewon Jozef, den man van Maria, uit welke geboren is JEZUS, gezegd Christus.
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].
Al de geslachten dan, van Abraham tot David, zijn veertien geslachten; en van David tot de Babylonische overvoering, zijn veertien geslachten; en van de Babylonische overvoering tot Christus, zijn veertien geslachten.
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.
De geboorte van Jezus Christus was nu aldus; want als Maria, zijn moeder, met Jozef ondertrouwd was, eer zij samengekomen waren, werd zij zwanger bevonden uit den Heiligen Geest.
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.
Jozef nu, haar man, alzo hij rechtvaardig was, en haar niet wilde openbaarlijk te schande maken, was van wil haar heimelijk te verlaten.
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.
En alzo hij deze dingen in den zin had, ziet, de engel des Heeren verscheen hem in den droom, zeggende: Jozef, gij zone Davids! wees niet bevreesd Maria, uw vrouw, tot u te nemen; want hetgeen in haar ontvangen is, dat is uit den Heiligen Geest;
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’].”
En zij zal een Zoon baren, en gij zult Zijn naam heten JEZUS; want Hij zal Zijn volk zalig maken van hun zonden.
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:
En dit alles is geschied, opdat vervuld zou worden, hetgeen van den Heere gesproken is, door den profeet, zeggende:
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’.
Ziet, de maagd zal zwanger worden, en een Zoon baren, en gij zult Zijn naam heten Emmanuel; hetwelk is, overgezet zijnde, God met ons.
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.
Jozef dan, opgewekt zijnde van den slaap, deed, gelijk de engel des Heeren hem bevolen had, en heeft zijn vrouw tot zich genomen;
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
En bekende haar niet, totdat zij dezen haar eerstgeboren Zoon gebaard had; en heette Zijn naam JEZUS.
