Matthew 1

1 This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

1 Jesu Kristi Davids Søns, Abrahams Søns, Slægtsbog.

2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.

2 Abraham avlede Isak; og Isak avlede Jakob; og Jakob avlede Juda og hans Brødre;

3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.

3 og Juda avlede Fares og Zara med Thamar; og Fares avlede Esrom; og Esrom avlede Aram;

4 Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.

4 og Aram avlede Aminadab; og Aminadab avlede Nasson; og Nasson avlede Salmon;

5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,

5 og Salmon avlede Boas med Rakab; og Boas avlede Obed med Ruth; og Obed avlede Isaj;

6 and Jesse the father of David the king. Next: David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife,

6 og Isaj avlede Kong David; og David avlede Salomon med Urias's Hustru;

7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.

7 og Salomon avlede Roboam; og Roboam avlede Abia; og Abia avlede Asa;

8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.

8 og Asa avlede Josafat; og Josafat avlede Joram; og Joram avlede Ozias;

9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.

9 og Ozias avlede Joatham; og Joatham avlede Akas; og Akas avlede Ezekias;

10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,

10 og Ezekias avlede Manasse; og Manasse avlede Amon; og Amon avlede Josias;

11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

11 og Josias avlede Jekonias og hans Brødre på den Tid, da Bortførelsen til Babylon fandt Sted.

12 After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

12 Men efter Bortførelsen til Babylon avlede Jekonias Salathiel; og Salathiel avlede Zorobabel;

13 Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.

13 og Zorobabel avlede Abiud; og Abiud avlede Eliakim: og Eliakim avlede Azor;

14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.

14 og Azor avlede Sadok; og Sadok avlede Akim; og Akim avlede Eliud;

15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob,

15 og Eliud avlede Eleazar; og Eleazar avlede Matthan; og Matthan avlede Jakob;

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

16 og Jakob avlede Josef, Marias Mand; af hende blev Jesus født, som kaldes Kristus.

17 In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the 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.

18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

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.

19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.

19 Men da Josef, hendes Mand, var retfærdig og ikke vilde beskæmme hende offentligt, besluttede han hemmeligt at skille sig fra hende.

20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

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.

21 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.”

21 Og hun skal føde en Søn, og du skal kalde hans Navn Jesus; thi han skal frelse sit Folk fra deres Synder.”

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

22 Men dette er alt sammen sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt af Herren ved Profeten, som siger:

23 “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).

23 “Se, Jomfruen skal blive frugtsommelig og føde en Søn, og man skal kalde hans Navn Immanuel,” hvilket er udlagt: Gud med os.

24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and embraced Mary as his wife.

24 Men da Josef vågnede op at Søvnen, gjorde han, som Herrens Engel havde befalet ham, og han tog sin Hustru til sig.

25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.

25 Og han kendte hende ikke, førend hun havde født sin Søn, den førstefødte, og han kaldte hans Navn Jesus.
