17 されば總て世をふる事、アブラハムよりダビデまで十四代、ダビデよりバビロンに移さるるまで十四代、バビロンに移されてよりキリストまで十四代なり。
So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the Exile to Babylon fourteen; and from the Exile to Babylon to the Christ fourteen.
18 イエス・キリストの誕生は左のごとし。その母マリヤ、ヨセフと許嫁したるのみにて、未だ偕にならざりしに、聖 靈によりて孕り、その孕りたること顯れたり。
This is how Jesus Christ was born: His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but, before the marriage took place, she found herself to be pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.
19 夫ヨセフは正しき人にして、之を公然にするを好まず、私に離縁せんと思ふ。
Her husband, Joseph, was a just man and, since he did not want to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to put an end to their engagement privately.
20 かくて、これらの事を思ひ囘らしをるとき、視よ、主の使、夢に現れて言ふ『ダビデの子ヨセフよ、妻マリヤを納るる事を恐るな。その胎に宿る者は聖 靈によるなり。
He had been thinking this over, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
21 かれ子を生まん、汝その名をイエスと名づくべし。己が民をその罪より救ひ給ふ故なり』
She will give birth to a son; name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 すべて此の事の起りしは、預言者によりて主の云ひ給ひし言の成就せん爲なり。曰く、
All this happened in fulfillment of these words of the Lord through the prophet, where he says –
23 『視よ、處女みごもりて子を生まん。その名はインマヌエルと稱へられん』之を釋けば、神われらと偕に在すといふ意なり。
‘The virgin will conceive and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel’ – a word which means ‘God is with us.’
24 ヨセフ寐より起き、主の使の命ぜし如くして妻を納れたり。
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.
25 されど子の生るるまでは、相 知る事なかりき。かくてその子をイエスと名づけたり。
He made Mary his wife, but they did not sleep together before the birth of her son; and to this son he gave the name Jesus.
