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].
Soleis er det i alt fjortan ættleder frå Abraham til David, og fjortan ættleder frå David til Babylon-ferdi, og fjortan ættleder frå Babylon-ferdi til Kristus.
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.
Då Kristus vart fødd, gjekk det soleis til: Medan mor hans, Maria, var trulova med Josef, og fyrr dei kom i hop, synte det seg at ho var med barn av den Heilage Ande.
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.
Josef, festarmannen hennar, var ein rett-tenkt mann, og vilde ikkje føra skam yver henne; han sette seg fyre å skiljast med henne so stilt han kunde.
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.
Men best som han hadde rådt seg til det, synte Herren engel seg for honom i draume og sagde: «Josef, Davids son, ver ikkje rædd å taka Maria, festarmøyi di, heim til deg; for det ho ber under beltet, er av den Heilage Ande.
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’].”
Ho skal eiga ein son, og honom skal du kalla Jesus; for han skal frelsa folket sitt frå synderne deira.»
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:
Men alt dette hev hendt av di det laut sannast det som Herren hev tala gjenom profeten, når han segjer:
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’.
«Ei møy mun barnsvon bera: Ein son ho eiga skal, og namnet han skal nemnast med, er Immanuel» - det er det same som: «Gud er med oss».
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.
Då Josef vakna or svevnen, gjorde han som Herrens engel hadde sagt med honom, og flutte bruri si heim.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
Men han kom ikkje nær henne fyrr ho hadde fenge sonen sin; honom kalla han Jesus.
