18 Men med Jesu Kristi Fødsel gik det således til. Da Maria, hans Moder, var trolovet med Josef, fandtes hun, førend de kom sammen, at være frugtsommelig af den Helligånd.
The birth of Jesus Christ happened in the following way. His mother, Mary, was engaged to marry Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Men da Josef, hendes Mand, var retfærdig og ikke vilde beskæmme hende offentligt, besluttede han hemmeligt at skille sig fra hende.
Her husband, Joseph, was a righteous man, and he did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to secretly end his engagement with her.
20 Men idet han tænkte derpå, se, da viste en Herrens Engel sig for ham i en drøm og sagde: "Josef, Davids Søn! frygt ikke for at tage din Hustru Maria til dig; thi det, som er avlet i hende, er af den Helligånd.
As he thought about these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, because the one who is conceived in her is conceived by the Holy Spirit.
21 Og hun skal føde en Søn, og du skal kalde hans Navn Jesus; thi han skal frelse sit Folk fra deres Synder."
She will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 Men dette er alt sammen sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt af Herren ved Profeten, som siger:
All this happened to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 "Se, Jomfruen skal blive frugtsommelig og føde en Søn, og man skal kalde hans Navn Immanuel", hvilket er udlagt: Gud med os.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”
24 Men da Josef vågnede op at Søvnen, gjorde han, som Herrens Engel havde befalet ham, og han tog sin Hustru til sig.
Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and he took her as his wife.
25 Og han kendte hende ikke, førend hun havde født sin Søn, den førstefødte, og han kaldte hans Navn Jesus.
But he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Then he called his name Jesus.
