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].
Buna göre, İbrahim'den Davut'a kadar toplam on dört kuşak, Davut'tan Babil sürgününe kadar on dört kuşak, Babil sürgününden Mesih'e kadar on dört kuşak vardır.
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.
İsa Mesih'in doğumu şöyle oldu: Annesi Meryem, Yusuf'la nişanlıydı. Ama birlikte olmalarından önce Meryem'in Kutsal Ruh'tan gebe olduğu anlaşıldı.
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.
Nişanlısı Yusuf, doğru bir adam olduğu ve onu herkesin önünde utandırmak istemediği için ondan sessizce ayrılmak niyetindeydi.
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.
Ama böyle düşünmesi üzerine Rab'bin bir meleği rüyada ona görünerek şöyle dedi: “Davut oğlu Yusuf, Meryem'i kendine eş olarak almaktan korkma. Çünkü onun rahminde oluşan, Kutsal Ruh'tandır.
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’].”
Meryem bir oğul doğuracak. Adını İsa koyacaksın. Çünkü halkını günahlarından O kurtaracak.”
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:
Bütün bunlar, Rab'bin peygamber aracılığıyla bildirdiği şu söz yerine gelsin diye oldu:
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’.
“İşte, kız gebe kalıp bir oğul doğuracak; adını İmmanuel koyacaklar.” İmmanuel, Tanrı bizimle demektir.
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.
Yusuf uyanınca Rab'bin meleğinin buyruğuna uydu ve Meryem'i eş olarak yanına aldı.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
Ama oğlunu doğuruncaya dek Yusuf ona dokunmadı. Doğan çocuğun adını İsa koydu.
