17 Kështu të gjithë brezat nga Abrahami deri te Davidi bëhen katërmbëdhjetë breza; dhe, nga Davidi deri te internimi në Babiloni, katërmbëdhjetë breza; dhe, nga internimi në Babiloni deri te Krishti, katërmbëdhjetë breza.
In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
18 Tani lindja e Jezu Krishtit ndodhi në këtë mënyrë: Maria, nëna e tij, i ishte premtuar Jozefit, por para se të fillonin të rrinin bashkë, mbeti shtatzënë nga Frymën e Shenjtë.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Atëherë Jozefi, i fejuari i saj, i cili ishte njeri i drejtë dhe nuk donte ta poshtëronte botërisht, vendosi ta linte fshehtas.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 Por, ndërsa bluante me vete këto çështje, ja që iu shfaq në ëndërr një engjell i Zotit dhe i tha: “Jozef, bir i Davidit, mos ki frikë ta marrësh me vete Marinë si gruan tënde, sepse ç’është ngjizur në të është vepër e Frymës së Shenjtë.
But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Dhe ajo do të lindë një djalë dhe ti do t’i vësh emrin Jezus, sepse ai do të shpëtojë popullin e tij nga mëkatet e tyre”.
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 E gjithë kjo ndodhi që të përmbushej fjala e Zotit, e thënë me anë të profetit që thotë:
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 “Ja, virgjëresha do të mbetet shtatzënë dhe do të lindë një djalë, të cilit do t’i venë emrin Emanuel, që do të thotë: “Zoti me ne””.
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Dhe Jozefi, si u zgjua nga gjumi, veproi ashtu siç e kishte urdhëruar engjëlli i Zotit dhe e mori pranë vetës gruan e tij;
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 por ai nuk e njohu, derisa ajo lindi djalin e saj të parëlindur, të cilit ia vuri emrin Jezus.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
