So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
18 Christi autem generatio sic erat cum esset desponsata mater eius Maria Ioseph antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto
18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Ioseph autem vir eius cum esset iustus et nollet eam traducere voluit occulte dimittere eam
19
And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 haec autem eo cogitante ecce angelus Domini in somnis apparuit ei dicens Ioseph fili David noli timere accipere Mariam coniugem tuam quod enim in ea natum est de Spiritu Sancto est
20
But as he considered these things, behold, 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, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 pariet autem filium et vocabis nomen eius Iesum ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum
21
She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. ”
22 hoc autem totum factum est ut adimpleretur id quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem
22
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 ecce virgo in utero habebit et pariet filium et vocabunt nomen eius Emmanuhel quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus
23
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”(which means, God with us).
24 exsurgens autem Ioseph a somno fecit sicut praecepit ei angelus Domini et accepit coniugem suam
24
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife,
25 et non cognoscebat eam donec peperit filium suum primogenitum et vocavit nomen eius Iesum
25
but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
