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

17 So 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.
Þetta eru fjórtán ættliðir frá Abraham til Davíðs konungs, fjórtán ættliðir frá Davíð fram að herleiðingunni og einnig fjórtán ættliðir frá herleiðingunni fram til Krists.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Aðdragandinn að fæðingu Jesú var á þessa leið: María móðir hans var trúlofuð Jósef. Hún varð þunguð af völdum heilags anda meðan hún var enn ósnortin mey.
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Jósef, unnusti hennar, sem var mjög sómakær maður, ákvað þá að slíta trúlofuninni í kyrrþey, því að hann vildi ekki valda henni opinberri smán.
20 But 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 as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Eitt sinn er hann var að íhuga þetta á andvökunóttu, sofnaði hann og dreymdi að engill stóð hjá honum og sagði: „Jósef, sonur Davíðs, hikaðu ekki við að kvænast Maríu, því að barnið sem hún gengur með, er getið af heilögum anda.
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
Hún mun eignast son, og þú skalt láta hann heita Jesú (sem þýðir Guð frelsar), því að hann mun frelsa þjóð sína frá syndum hennar.
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Þannig mun rætast það sem spámaður Guðs sagði:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
„Takið eftir! Meyjan mun þunguð verða! Hún mun fæða son og hann verða kallaður „Immanúel“(en það þýðir Guð er með okkur)“.“
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Þegar Jósef vaknaði, ákvað hann að gera eins og engillinn hafði sagt honum og ganga að eiga Maríu,
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
þau höfðu þó ekki kynmök fyrr en eftir að sonurinn var fæddur. Og Jósef gaf drengnum nafnið Jesús.
