17 All the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
Þetta eru fjórtán ættliðir frá Abraham til Davíðs konungs, fjórtán ættliðir frá Davíð fram að herleiðingunni og einnig fjórtán ættliðir frá herleiðingunni fram til Krists.
18 The birth of Jesus Christ happened in the following way. His mother, Mary, was engaged to marry Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Aðdragandinn að fæðingu Jesú var á þessa leið: María móðir hans var trúlofuð Jósef. Hún varð þunguð af völdum heilags anda meðan hún var enn ósnortin mey.
19 Her husband, Joseph, was a righteous man, and he did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to secretly end his engagement with her.
Jósef, unnusti hennar, sem var mjög sómakær maður, ákvað þá að slíta trúlofuninni í kyrrþey, því að hann vildi ekki valda henni opinberri smán.
20 As he thought about these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, because the one who is conceived in her is conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Eitt sinn er hann var að íhuga þetta á andvökunóttu, sofnaði hann og dreymdi að engill stóð hjá honum og sagði: „Jósef, sonur Davíðs, hikaðu ekki við að kvænast Maríu, því að barnið sem hún gengur með, er getið af heilögum anda.
21 She will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
Hún mun eignast son, og þú skalt láta hann heita Jesú (sem þýðir Guð frelsar), því að hann mun frelsa þjóð sína frá syndum hennar.
22 All this happened to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Þannig mun rætast það sem spámaður Guðs sagði:
23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”
„Takið eftir! Meyjan mun þunguð verða! Hún mun fæða son og hann verða kallaður „Immanúel“(en það þýðir Guð er með okkur)“.“
24 Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and he took her as his wife.
Þegar Jósef vaknaði, ákvað hann að gera eins og engillinn hafði sagt honum og ganga að eiga Maríu,
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Then he called his name Jesus.
þau höfðu þó ekki kynmök fyrr en eftir að sonurinn var fæddur. Og Jósef gaf drengnum nafnið Jesús.
