18 I ată însă cum a avut loc naşterea lui Isus Cristos: Maria, mama Lui, era logodită cu Iosif, dar înainte ca ei să locuiască împreună, ea a rămas însărcinată de la Duhul Sfânt.

The 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.

19 I osif însă, soţul ei, era un om drept şi nu voia s-o facă de ruşine înaintea lumii. De aceea el şi-a propus s-o părăsească pe ascuns.

Joseph 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.

20 D ar în timp ce se gândea el la aceste lucruri, iată că un înger al Domnului i s-a arătat în vis şi i-a zis: „Iosif, fiu al lui David, nu te teme s-o iei pe Maria de soţie, căci ce s-a conceput în ea este de la Duhul Sfânt!

While 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.

21 E a va naşte un Fiu, Căruia Îi vei pune numele Isus, pentru că El Îşi va mântui poporul de păcatele lui!“

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.”

22 T oate acestea s-au întâmplat ca să se împlinească ceea ce a spus Domnul prin profetul care zice:

This happened as the Lord said it would happen through the early preacher.

23 „ Iată, fecioara va rămâne însărcinată, va naşte un Fiu şi Îi vor pune numele Emanuel“, nume care, tradus, înseamnă „Dumnezeu este cu noi“.

He 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.”

24 C ând s-a trezit din somn, Iosif a făcut aşa cum i-a poruncit îngerul Domnului. A luat-o pe Maria de soţie,

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

25 d ar n-a cunoscut-o până când ea nu a dat naştere unui Fiu. Iar el I-a pus numele Isus.

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