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.
所以從亞巴郎到達味共十四代，從達味到流徙巴比倫共十四代，從流徙巴比倫到基督共十四代。
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.
耶穌基督的誕生是這樣的：衪的母親許配於若瑟後，在同居前，她因聖神有孕的事已顯示出來。
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
她的丈夫若瑟，因是義人，不願公開羞她，有意暗暗地休退她。
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.
當他在思慮這事時，看，在夢人上主的天使顯現給他說：「達味之子若瑟，不要怕娶你的妻子瑪利亞，因為那在她內受生的，是出於聖神。
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.”
她要生一個兒子，妳要給衪起名叫耶穌，因為衪要把自己的民族，由他們的罪惡中拯救出來。」
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
這一切事的發生，是為應驗上主藉先知所說的話：
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.”
「看，一位貞女，將懷孕生子，人將稱衪的名字為厄瑪奴耳，意思是：天主與我們同在。
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
若瑟從睡夢中醒來，就照上主的天使所囑咐的辦了，娶了他的妻子；
25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
若瑟雖然沒認識她，她就生了一個兒子，給衪起名叫耶穌。
