1 Boken om Jesu Kristi slekt, Davids sønn, Abrahams sønn.

The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2 Abrahams sønn var Isak; og Isaks sønn var Jakob; og Jakobs sønner var Juda og hans brødre;

The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;

3 Judas sønner var Peres og Zera med Tamar; og Peres' sønn var Hesron; og Hesrons sønn var Ram;

And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;

4 Rams sønn var Amminadab; og Amminadabs sønn var Nahson; og Nahsons sønn var Salmon;

And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;

5 Salmon fikk Boas med Rahab; og Boas fikk Obed med Rut; og Obed far til Isai;

And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;

6 Isai var far til kong David; og David fikk Salomo med hun som hadde vært Urias hustru;

And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

7 Salomos sønn var Rehabeam; og Rehabeams sønn var Abia; og Abias sønn var Asa;

And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;

8 Asas sønn var Josafat; og Josafats sønn var Joram; og Jorams sønn var Ussia;

And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;

9 Ussias sønn var Jotam; og Jotams sønn var Akas; og Akas' sønn var Hiskia;

And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;

10 Hiskias sønn var Manasse; og Manasses sønn var Amon; og Amons sønn var Josjia;

And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;

11 Josjias sønner var Jekonja og hans brødre, på den tiden da de ble ført bort til Babylon.

And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.

12 Etter bortførelsen til Babylon fikk Jekonja sønnen Sjealtiel; og Sjealtiel fikk Serubabel;

And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;

13 Serubabel fikk Abihud; og Abihud fikk Eljakim; og Eljakim fikk Asor;

And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;

14 Asor fikk Sadok; og Sadok fikk Akim; og Akim fikk Elihud;

And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;

15 Elihud fikk Eleasar; og Eleasar fikk Mattan; og Mattan fikk Jakob;

And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;

16 Jakobs sønn var Josef, Marias mann, som fødte Jesus, som kalles Kristus.

And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

17 Så alle slektene fra Abraham til David er fjorten generasjoner; og fra David til bortførelsen til Babylon, fjorten generasjoner; og fra bortførelsen til Babylon til Kristus, fjorten generasjoner.

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.

18 Jesus Kristi fødsel skjedde slik: da hans mor Maria var trolovet med Josef, før de kom sammen, viste det seg at hun var med barn ved Den hellige ånd.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

19 Josef, hennes mann, var rettferdig og ønsket ikke å føre vanære over henne, så han ville skille seg fra henne i stillhet.

And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

20 Men da han tenkte på dette, viste en Herrens engel seg for ham i en drøm og sa: Josef, Davids sønn, vær ikke redd for å ta Maria til hustru, for det som er unnfanget i henne er av Den hellige ånd.

But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

21 Hun vil føde en sønn, og du skal gi ham navnet Jesus; for han skal frelse sitt folk fra deres synder.

And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

22 Alt dette skjedde for at det skulle bli oppfylt som Herren hadde sagt gjennom profeten,

Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

23 Se, jomfruen skal bli med barn og føde en sønn, og de skal gi ham navnet Immanuel, som betyr: Gud med oss.

See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.

24 Josef gjorde som Herrens engel hadde påbudt ham, og tok henne til hustru;

And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;

25 og han levde ikke med henne før hun hadde født en sønn; og han ga ham navnet Jesus.

And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
