[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 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 [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 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。
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 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。
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 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. 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 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 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 『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。
“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 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 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 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。
But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
