16 雅各生約瑟、就是馬利亞的丈夫.那稱為基督的耶穌、是從馬利亞生的。
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 這樣、從亞伯拉罕到大衛、共有十四代.從大衛到遷至巴比倫的時候、也有十四代.從遷至巴比倫的時候到基督、又有十四代。
Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
18 耶穌基督降生的事、記在下面.他母親馬利亞已經許配了約瑟、還沒有迎娶、馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 他丈夫約瑟是個義人、不願意明明的羞辱他、想要暗暗的把他休了。
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 正思念這事的時候、有主的使者向他夢中顯現、說、大衛的子孫約瑟、不要怕、只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來.因他所懷的孕、是從聖靈來的。
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 他將要生一個兒子.你要給他起名叫耶穌.因他要將自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出來。
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
22 這一切的事成就、是要應驗主藉先知所說的話、
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 說、『必有童女、懷孕生子、人要稱他的名為以馬內利。』(以馬內利繙出來、就是 神與我們同在。)
"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."
24 約瑟醒了、起來、就遵著主使者的吩咐、把妻子娶過來.
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
25 只是沒有和他同房、等他生了兒子、〔有古卷作等他生了頭胎的兒子〕就給他起名叫耶穌。
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
