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.
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.
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.
19 Atëherë Jozefi, i fejuari i saj, i cili ishte njeri i drejtë dhe nuk donte ta poshtëronte botërisht, vendosi ta linte fshehtas.
Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
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 when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of 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 shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall 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:
Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
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 shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “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;
Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 por ai nuk e njohu, derisa ajo lindi djalin e saj të parëlindur, të cilit ia vuri emrin Jezus.
and did not know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
