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.
それで，アブラハムからダビデまでの世代は全部で十四代，ダビデからバビロンへの流刑までは十四代，バビロンへの連行からキリストまでは十四代である。
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.
さて，イエス・キリストの誕生は次のようであった。彼の母マリアはヨセフと婚約していたが，二人が一緒になる前に，彼女は聖霊によって妊娠していることが分かった。
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
彼女の夫ヨセフは正しい人で，彼女をさらし者にしたくなかったので，ひそかに去らせようとした。
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.
しかし彼がこうした事について考えていると，見よ，主のみ使いが夢の中で彼に現われて，こう言った。「ダビデの子ヨセフよ，あなたの妻マリアを迎え入れることを恐れてはいけない。彼女の内に宿っているのは聖霊によるものだからだ。
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.”
彼女は男の子を産むだろう。あなたはその名をイエスと呼ぶことになる。この者こそ，自分の民をその罪から救うからだ」。
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
ところで，このことすべてが起こったのは，預言者を通して主によって語られたことが果たされるためであった。こう言われていた。
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.”
「見よ，処女が妊娠し，男の子を産むだろう。彼らはその名をインマヌエルと呼ぶだろう」。この名は，訳せば，「神はわたしたちと共に」という意味である。
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
ヨセフは眠りから覚め，主のみ使いが彼に命じたとおりに行ない，自分の妻を迎え入れた。
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
しかし，彼女が初子を産むまでは，彼女を性的には知らなかった。彼はその子をイエスと名付けた。
