17 O na banauna a pau mai ia Aberahama mai a hiki ia Davida, he umi ia hanauna a me kumamaha; a mai ia Davida mai a hiki i ka lawe ana i Babulona, he umi ia hanauna a me kumamaha; a mai ka lawe ana aku i Babulona mai, a hiki ia Kristo he umi ia hanauna a me kumamaha.
[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].
18 Penei hoi ka hanau ana o Iesu Kristo: I hoopalau e ia kona makuwahine o Maria na Iosepa, aole nae laua i pili, a ikea oia, ua hapai na ka Uhane Hemolele.
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.
19 Aka, he kanaka pono kana kane o Iosepa, aole ia i makemake e hoino ia ia ma ke akea; manao iho la ia e kipaku malu ia ia.
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.
20 A i kona noonoo ana ma ia mau mea, aia hoi, ikeia'ku ka anela a ka Haku e ia ma ka moe, i mai la, E Iosepa, e ka mamo a Davida, mai makau oe ke lawe ia Maria i wahine nau; no ka mea, ua hapai oia na ka Uhane Hemolele.
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.
21 A e hanau mai oia i keikikane, a e kapa aku oe i kona inoa o IESU; no ka mea, e hoola ia i kona poe kanaka mai ko lakou hewa.
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’].”
22 Ma ia mau mea i ko ai ka mea a ka Haku i olelo mai ai ma ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,
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:
23 Aia hoi, e hapai ana kekahi wahine puupaa, a e hanau mai ia i keikikane, a e kapaia kona inoa o Emanuela; o ke ano keia, o ke Akua me kakou.
“Listen, a virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will call him Emmanuel.” Emmanuel means ‘God is with us’.
24 A ala ae la o Iosepa mai ka hiamoe ana, hana aku la ia e like me ka ka anela a ka Haku i kauoha mai ai ia ia, a lawe mai la ia i kana wahine;
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.
25 Aole nae i moe aku ia ia, a hiki i ka wa i hanau ai oia i kana makahiapo kane, a kapa aku la ia i kona inoa o IESU.
But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
