Così, da Abraamo fino a Davide sono in tutto quattordici generazioni; da Davide fino alla deportazione in Babilonia, quattordici generazioni; e dalla deportazione in Babilonia fino a Cristo, quattordici generazioni. Nascita di Gesù Cristo

18 T he birth of Jesus Christ was like this: Mary His mother had been promised in marriage to Joseph. Before they were married, it was learned that she was to have a baby by the Holy Spirit.

La nascita di Gesù Cristo avvenne in questo modo. Maria, sua madre, era stata promessa sposa a Giuseppe e, prima che fossero venuti a stare insieme, si trovò incinta per opera dello Spirito Santo.

19 J oseph was her promised husband. He was a good man and did not want to make it hard for Mary in front of people. He thought it would be good to break the promised marriage without people knowing it.

Giuseppe, suo marito, che era uomo giusto e non voleva esporla a infamia, si propose di lasciarla segretamente.

20 W hile he was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is to become a mother by the Holy Spirit.

Ma mentre aveva queste cose nell’animo, un angelo del Signore gli apparve in sogno, dicendo: «Giuseppe, figlio di Davide, non temere di prendere con te Maria, tua moglie; perché ciò che in lei è generato, viene dallo Spirito Santo.

21 A Son will be born to her. You will give Him the name Jesus because He will save His people from the punishment of their sins.”

Ella partorirà un figlio, e tu gli porrai nome Gesù, perché è lui che salverà il suo popolo dai loro peccati».

22 T his happened as the Lord said it would happen through the early preacher.

Tutto ciò avvenne, affinché si adempisse quello che era stato detto dal Signore per mezzo del profeta:

23 H e said, “The young woman, who has never had a man, will give birth to a Son. They will give Him the name Immanuel. This means God with us.”

«La vergine sarà incinta e partorirà un figlio, al quale sarà posto nome Emmanuele », che tradotto vuol dire: «Dio con noi ».

24 J oseph awoke from his sleep. He did what the angel of the Lord told him to do. He took Mary as his wife.

Giuseppe, destatosi dal sonno, fece come l’angelo del Signore gli aveva comandato e prese con sé sua moglie;

25 B ut he did not have her, as a husband has a wife, until she gave birth to a Son. Joseph gave Him the name Jesus.

e non ebbe con lei rapporti coniugali finché ella non ebbe partorito un figlio; e gli pose nome Gesù.
