[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 A narodzenie Jezusa Chrystusa takie było: Albowiem gdy Maryja, matka jego, poślubiona była Józefowi, pierwej niżeli się zeszli, znaleziona jest brzemienną z Ducha Świętego.
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 Ale Józef, mąż jej, będąc sprawiedliwym i nie chcąc jej osławić, chciał ją potajemnie opuścić.
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 gdy on o tem zamyślał, oto mu się Anioł Pański we śnie ukazał, mówiąc: Józefie, synu Dawidów! nie bój się przyjąć Maryi, żony twojej; albowiem, co się w niej poczęło, z Ducha Świętego jest.
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 urodzi syna, i nazowiesz imię jego Jezus; albowiem on zbawi lud swój od grzechów ich.
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 A to się wszystko stało, aby się wypełniło, co powiedziano od Pana przez proroka, mówiącego:
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 Oto panna będzie brzemienna i porodzi syna, a nazowią imię jego Emanuel, co się wykłada: Bóg z nami.
“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 Tedy Józef ocuciwszy się ze snu, uczynił, jako mu rozkazał Anioł Pański, i przyjął żonę swoję;
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 Ale jej nie uznał, aż porodziła onego syna swego pierworodnego, i nazwał imię jego Jezus.
But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
