Matthæus 1
1 Jesu Kristi Davids Søns, Abrahams Søns, Slægtsbog.
The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham avlede Isak; og Isak avlede Jakob; og Jakob avlede 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 og Juda avlede Fares og Zara med Thamar; og Fares avlede Esrom; og Esrom avlede Aram;
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 og Aram avlede Aminadab; og Aminadab avlede Nasson; og Nasson avlede Salmon;
And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;
5 og Salmon avlede Boas med Rakab; og Boas avlede Obed med Ruth; og Obed avlede Isaj;
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 og Isaj avlede Kong David; og David avlede Salomon med Urias's 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 og Salomon avlede Roboam; og Roboam avlede Abia; og Abia avlede Asa;
And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;
8 og Asa avlede Josafat; og Josafat avlede Joram; og Joram avlede Ozias;
And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;
9 og Ozias avlede Joatham; og Joatham avlede Akas; og Akas avlede Ezekias;
And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;
10 og Ezekias avlede Manasse; og Manasse avlede Amon; og Amon avlede Josias;
And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;
11 og Josias avlede Jekonias og hans Brødre på den Tid, da Bortførelsen til Babylon fandt Sted.
And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.
12 Men efter Bortførelsen til Babylon avlede Jekonias Salathiel; og Salathiel avlede Zorobabel;
And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;
13 og Zorobabel avlede Abiud; og Abiud avlede Eliakim: og Eliakim avlede Azor;
And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;
14 og Azor avlede Sadok; og Sadok avlede Akim; og Akim avlede Eliud;
And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;
15 og Eliud avlede Eleazar; og Eleazar avlede Matthan; og Matthan avlede Jakob;
And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;
16 og Jakob avlede Josef, Marias Mand; af hende blev Jesus født, som kaldes Kristus.
And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
17 Altså ere alle Slægtledene fra Abraham indtil David fjorten Slægtled, og fra David indtil Bortførelsen til Babylon fjorten Slægtled, og fra Bortførelsen til Babylon indtil Kristus fjorten Slægtled.
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 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.
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 Men da Josef, hendes Mand, var retfærdig og ikke vilde beskæmme hende offentligt, besluttede han hemmeligt at skille sig fra hende.
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 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.
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 Og hun skal føde en Søn, og du skal kalde hans Navn Jesus; thi han skal frelse sit 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 Men dette er alt sammen sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt af Herren ved Profeten, som siger:
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23 "Se, Jomfruen skal blive frugtsommelig og føde en Søn, og man skal kalde hans Navn Immanuel", hvilket er udlagt: Gud med os.
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 Men da Josef vågnede op at Søvnen, gjorde han, som Herrens Engel havde befalet ham, og han tog sin Hustru til sig.
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and 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.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
