¹⁷All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.

¹⁷Þannig eru alls fjórtán ættliðir frá Abraham til Davíðs, fjórtán ættliðir frá Davíð fram að herleiðingunni til Babýlonar og fjórtán ættliðir frá herleiðingunni til Krists.

¹⁸And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,

¹⁸Fæðing Jesú Krists varð með þessum atburðum: María, móðir hans, var föstnuð Jósef. En áður en þau komu saman, reyndist hún þunguð af heilögum anda.

¹⁹and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.

¹⁹Jósef, festarmaður hennar, sem var grandvar, vildi ekki gjöra henni opinbera minnkun og hugðist skilja við hana í kyrrþey.

²⁰And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, `Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,

²⁰Hann hafði ráðið þetta með sér, en þá vitraðist honum engill Drottins í draumi og sagði: ,,Jósef, sonur Davíðs, óttastu ekki að taka til þín Maríu, heitkonu þína. Barnið, sem hún gengur með, er af heilögum anda.

²¹and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.`

²¹Hún mun son ala, og hann skaltu láta heita Jesú, því að hann mun frelsa lýð sinn frá syndum þeirra.``

²²And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²²Allt varð þetta til þess, að rætast skyldu orð Drottins fyrir munn spámannsins:

²³`Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,` which is, being interpreted `With us [he is] God.`

²³,,Sjá, mærin mun þunguð verða og son ala. Nafn hans mun vera Immanúel,`` það þýðir: Guð með oss.

²⁴And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,

²⁴Þegar Jósef vaknaði, gjörði hann eins og engill Drottins hafði boðið honum og tók konu sína til sín.Hann kenndi hennar ekki fyrr en hún hafði alið son. Og hann gaf honum nafnið JESÚS.

²⁵and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.

²⁵Hann kenndi hennar ekki fyrr en hún hafði alið son. Og hann gaf honum nafnið JESÚS.
