[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 Jézus Krisztus születése pedig így történt: Anyja, Mária, aki József jegyese volt, egybekelésük előtt viselős lett a Szentlélektől.
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 József, a férje, igaz ember volt, és nem akarta őt gyalázatba keverni, titokban akarta őt elbocsátani.
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 Mikor pedig ezeket magában elgondolta, íme, az Úr angyala megjelent neki álmában, és ezt mondta: „József, Dávid fia, ne félj magadhoz venni Máriát, a te feleségedet, mert ami benne fogantatott, az a Szentlélektől van.
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 Fiat fog majd szülni, és nevezd őt Jézusnak, mert ő szabadítja meg népét bűneitől.“
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 Mindez pedig azért történt, hogy beteljesedjék, amit az Úr mondott a próféta által, aki így szólt:
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 „Íme, a szűz méhében fogan, és fiat szül, és Immánuelnek fogják nevezni“– ami azt jelenti: Velünk az Isten.
“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 József pedig álmából felserkenve úgy tett, amint az Úr angyala parancsolta neki: magához vette feleségét,
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 és nem érintette addig, amíg meg nem szülte elsőszülött fiát, akit Jézusnak nevezett el.
But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
