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.

¹⁷Således er alle ætt-leddene fra Abraham inntil David fjorten ledd, og fra David inntil bortførelsen til Babylon fjorten ledd, og fra bortførelsen til Babylon inntil Kristus fjorten ledd.

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 gikk det således til: Da hans mor Maria var trolovet med Josef, viste det sig, før de var kommet sammen, at hun var fruktsommelig ved den Hellige Ånd.

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

¹⁹Men Josef, hennes mann, som var rettferdig og ikke vilde føre skam over henne, vilde skille sig fra henne i stillhet.

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.

²⁰Mens han nu grundet på dette, se, da åpenbarte Herrens engel sig for ham i en drøm og sa: Josef, Davids sønn! frykt ikke for å ta din hustru Maria til dig! for det som er avlet i henne, er av den Hellige Ånd;

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 sønn, og du skal kalle ham Jesus; for han skal frelse sitt 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 alt dette skjedde forat det skulde opfylles som er talt av Herren ved profeten, som sier:

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

²³Se, en jomfru skal bli fruktsommelig og føde en sønn, og han skal kalles Immanuel, det er utlagt: Gud med oss.

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

²⁴Da nu Josef var våknet op av søvnen, gjorde han som Herrens engel hadde pålagt ham, og tok sin hustru til sig.

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

²⁵Og han holdt sig ikke til henne før hun hadde født sin sønn, og han kalte ham Jesus.
