17. Omnes ergo generationes ab Abraham usque ad David generationes quattuordecim; et a David usque ad transmigrationem Babylonis generationes quattuordecim; et a transmigratione Babylonis usque ad Christum generationes quattuordecim.

17. 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. Iesu 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 of 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 this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of 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 fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23. “Ecce, virgo in utero habebit et pariet filium, et vocabunt nomen eius Emmanuel”, quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus.

23. "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel" (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, et vocavit nomen eius Iesum.

25. but knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus.
