17 Tad nu pavisam no Ābrahāma līdz Dāvidam ir četrpadsmit augumi; un no Dāvida līdz aizvešanai uz Bābeli ir četrpadsmit augumi; un no aizvešanas uz Bābeli līdz Kristum četrpadsmit augumi.
[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 Bet Jēzus Kristus piedzimšana bija tāda: kad Marija, viņa māte, Jāzepam bija saderēta, pirms tie nāca kopā, tā atradās grūta no Svētā Gara.
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 Bet Jāzeps, viņas vīrs, taisns būdams un negribēdams tai kaunu darīt, gribēja to slepeni atstāt.
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 Bet viņam tā savā prātā domājot, redzi, Tā Kunga eņģelis sapnī parādījās sacīdams: Jāzep, tu Dāvida dēls, nebīsties, Mariju, savu sievu, ņemt pie sevis; jo kas iekš tās dzimis, tas ir no Svētā Gara.
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 Un viņa dzemdēs dēlu, un Tā vārdu tev būs saukt Jēzus; jo Viņš izpestīs Savus ļaudis no viņu grēkiem.
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 Bet viss tas ir noticis, lai piepildītos, kas runāts no Tā Kunga caur to pravieti, kas saka:
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 “Redzi, tā jumprava būs grūta un dzemdēs Dēlu, un Viņa vārdu sauks Immanuels,” tas ir tulkots: “Dievs ar mums.”
“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 Bet Jāzeps no miega uzmodies darīja, kā viņam Tā Kunga eņģelis bija pavēlējis, un ņēma savu sievu pie sevis;
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 Un viņu neatzina, līdz kamēr viņa bija dzemdējusi savu pirmdzimto Dēlu, un nosauca Viņa vārdu Jēzus.
But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
