¹⁶Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus “Jesus” means “Salvation.” , who is called Christ.

¹⁶og Jakob avlede Josef, Marias Mand; af hende blev Jesus født, som kaldes Kristus.

¹⁷So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

¹⁷Altså ere alle Slægtledene fra Abraham indtil David fjorten Slægtled, og fra David indtil Bortførelsen til Babylon fjorten Slægtled, og fra Bortførelsen til Babylon indtil Kristus fjorten Slægtled.

¹⁸Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸Men med Jesu Kristi Fødsel gik det således til. Da Maria, hans Moder, var trolovet med Josef, fandtes hun, førend de kom sammen, at være frugtsommelig af den Helligånd.

¹⁹Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

¹⁹Men da Josef, hendes Mand, var retfærdig og ikke vilde beskæmme hende offentligt, besluttede han hemmeligt at skille sig fra hende.

²⁰But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

²⁰Men idet han tænkte derpå, se, da viste en Herrens Engel sig for ham i en drøm og sagde: "Josef, Davids Søn! frygt ikke for at tage din Hustru Maria til dig; thi det, som er avlet i hende, er af den Helligånd.

²¹She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

²¹Og hun skal føde en Søn, og du skal kalde hans Navn Jesus; thi han skal frelse sit Folk fra deres Synder."

²²Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²²Men dette er alt sammen sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt af Herren ved Profeten, som siger:

²³“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel”; which is, being interpreted, “God with us.” Isaiah 7:14

²³"Se, Jomfruen skal blive frugtsommelig og føde en Søn, og man skal kalde hans Navn Immanuel", hvilket er udlagt: Gud med os.

²⁴Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

²⁴Men da Josef vågnede op at Søvnen, gjorde han, som Herrens Engel havde befalet ham, og han tog sin Hustru til sig.

²⁵and didn’t know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.

²⁵Og han kendte hende ikke, førend hun havde født sin Søn, den førstefødte, og han kaldte hans Navn Jesus.
