Matthæus 1
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
Jesus som arvtager efter Abraham og David
1 Jesus var „søn” af både kong David og af Abraham. Her følger slægtstavlen:
2 Abraham blev far til Isak, og Isak far til Jakob. Jakob blev far til Juda og hans brødre. 3 Juda blev med Tamar far til Peretz[a] og Zerach. Peretz blev far til Hetzron, som blev far til Ram, og 4 Ram blev far til Amminadab. Amminadab blev far til Nahshon, som blev far til Salma, 5 og Salma blev far til Boaz, hvis mor hed Rahab. Boaz blev far til Obed, hvis mor hed Ruth. Obed blev far til Isaj, 6 og Isaj far til kong David.
David blev med Urias’ kone far til Salomon. 7 Salomon blev far til Rehabeam, som blev far til Abija, og Abija blev far til Asa. 8 Asa blev far til Joshafat, som blev far til Joram. Joram blev far[b] til Uzzija, 9 som blev far til Jotam, og Jotam blev far til Ahaz. Ahaz blev far til Hizkija, 10 som blev far til Manasse, og Manasse blev far til Amon. Amon blev far til Josias, 11 som blev far til Jekonja[c] og hans brødre, der levede på den tid, da folket blev ført bort til Babylon.
12 Efter at folket var ført bort til Babylon, blev Jekonja far til Shealtiel, som blev far til Zerubbabel, 13 som igen blev far til Abiud. Abiud blev far til Eljakim, som blev far til Azor, 14 og Azor blev far til Zadok, som blev far til Akim. Akim blev far til Eliud, 15 som blev far til Eleazar, og Eleazar blev far til Mattan, som blev far til Jakob. 16 Jakob blev far til Josef, der blev gift med Maria, som var mor til Jesus, der også kaldes Messias.[d]
17 Der er altså 14 slægtled fra Abraham til kong David, og 14 fra kong Davids tid, indtil folket blev ført bort til Babylon, og 14 fra den tid, da folket kom til Babylon, indtil Messias blev født.
Jesu fødsel
18 Jesus, Messias, kom til verden på følgende måde: Hans mor Maria var forlovet med Josef, men før de havde været sammen, viste det sig, at hun ventede et barn ved Helligåndens kraft.[e] 19 Josef var en god og retskaffen mand, som ikke ville udsætte hende for offentlig skam, så han besluttede sig til i al stilhed at hæve forlovelsen.
20 Mens han tænkte over det, havde han en drøm, hvor en engel fra Gud viste sig for ham. Englen sagde: „Josef, du er jo af kong Davids slægt, og du skal ikke være betænkelig ved at gifte dig med Maria, for det barn, hun venter, er blevet til ved Helligåndens kraft. 21 Hun skal føde en søn, og du skal kalde ham Jesus,[f] for han skal frelse sit folk fra deres synder.”
22 På den måde gik det i opfyldelse, som Gud havde talt gennem en af sine profeter:
23 „Se, jomfruen vil blive gravid.
Hun skal føde en søn,
og han skal kaldes ‚Immanuel’.”[g]
(Det navn betyder: „Gud er med os”).
24 Da Josef vågnede, stod han op og gjorde, som englen havde sagt. Han accepterede at gifte sig med Maria, 25 men havde ikke ægteskabeligt samliv med hende, før hun havde født.[h] Maria fødte så en dreng, som fik navnet Jesus.
Footnotes
- 1,3 De fleste navne er hebraiske i deres oprindelse. Derfor har vi i denne oversættelse søgt at bringe stavemåden så tæt som muligt på hebraisk, bortset fra de mest kendte navne, som fastholder den traditionelle danske stavemåde.
- 1,8 Egentlig „forfar”, da nogle slægtled uden væsentlig betydning er udeladt.
- 1,11 Ifølge 1.Krøn. 3,15-16 var Jekonja sønnesøn af Josias, men på hebraisk skelner man ikke mellem søn og sønnesøn i et slægtsregister. Nogle sønner var ikke værd at nævne. Jekonja kendes også under navnet Jojakin, søn af Jojakim. (Jf. Jer. 24,1 og 2.Kong. 24,6.12-15, 1.Krøn. 3,10-18.)
- 1,16 På græsk står der her Christos, hvilket er en oversættelse af det hebraiske Mashiach, som betyder „den salvede”, dvs. en, som Gud har udpeget til profet eller konge. Da ordet Messias er kendt på dansk, vil vi som regel bruge det ord om den længe ventede konge, der skulle genoprette Davids kongerige.
- 1,18 Ordene „hellig ånd” er ikke i bestemt form på græsk. Det betyder sandsynligvis, at der er fokus på Helligåndens kraft mere end på Helligånden som person.
- 1,21 Navnet Jesus betyder „frelser” på hebraisk.
- 1,23 Denne profeti er fra Es. 7,14. I modsætning til situationen i Esajas’ bog er der her ingen mand involveret til at gøre jomfruen gravid.
- 1,25 En mere ordret oversættelse ville være: „Han ‚kendte’ hende ikke, før hun fødte en søn”. Det græske ord for „før” betyder egentlig „i tiden op til” og antyder i sig selv intet om, hvad der skete bagefter. Ifølge en gammel kristen tradition var Josef enkemand med flere børn, og Maria blev så mor for disse børn foruden sin egen søn, Jesus. Bibelteksten gør det ikke klart, om de brødre og søstre af Jesus, der omtales senere, var Marias egne børn.

Genealogy of Jesus
1 A record of the ancestors of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac.
Isaac was the father of Jacob.
Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers.
3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah,
whose mother was Tamar.
Perez was the father of Hezron.
Hezron was the father of Aram.
4 Aram was the father of Amminadab.
Amminadab was the father of Nahshon.
Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab.
Boaz was the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth.
Obed was the father of Jesse.
6 Jesse was the father of David the king.
David was the father of Solomon,
whose mother had been the wife of Uriah.
7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam.
Rehoboam was the father of Abijah.
Abijah was the father of Asaph.
8 Asaph was the father of Jehoshaphat.
Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram.
Joram was the father of Uzziah.
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham.
Jotham was the father of Ahaz.
Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah.
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh.
Manasseh was the father of Amos.
Amos was the father of Josiah.
11 Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers.
This was at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 After the exile to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel.
Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel.
13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud.
Abiud was the father of Eliakim.
Eliakim was the father of Azor.
14 Azor was the father of Zadok.
Zadok was the father of Achim.
Achim was the father of Eliud.
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar.
Eleazar was the father of Matthan.
Matthan was the father of Jacob.
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary—of whom Jesus was born, who is called the Christ.
17 So there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen generations from the exile to Babylon to the Christ.
Birth of Jesus
18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ took place. When Mary his mother was engaged to Joseph, before they were married, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 Joseph her husband was a righteous man. Because he didn’t want to humiliate her, he decided to call off their engagement quietly. 20 As he was thinking about this, an angel from the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the child she carries was conceived by the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you will call him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 Now all of this took place so that what the Lord had spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled:
23 Look! A virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son,
And they will call him, Emmanuel.[a]
(Emmanuel means “God with us.”)
24 When Joseph woke up, he did just as an angel from God commanded and took Mary as his wife. 25 But he didn’t have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Joseph called him Jesus.

Matthew 1
King James Version
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
Matthew 1
New King James Version
The Genealogy of Jesus Christ(A)
1 The book of the (B)genealogy[a] of Jesus Christ, (C)the Son of David, (D)the Son of Abraham:
2 (E)Abraham begot Isaac, (F)Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot (G)Judah and his brothers. 3 (H)Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, (I)Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5 Salmon begot (J)Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and (K)Jesse begot David the king.
(L)David the king begot Solomon by her [b]who had been the wife of Uriah. 7 (M)Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot (N)Abijah, and Abijah begot [c]Asa. 8 Asa begot (O)Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot (P)Uzziah. 9 Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot (Q)Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah. 10 (R)Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot [d]Amon, and Amon begot (S)Josiah. 11 (T)Josiah begot [e]Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were (U)carried away to Babylon.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, (V)Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot (W)Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. 14 Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. 15 Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob. 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of (X)Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.
Christ Born of Mary(Y)
18 Now the (Z)birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child (AA)of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being [f]a just man, and not wanting (AB)to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, (AC)for that which is [g]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 (AD)And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name [h]Jesus, (AE)for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 (AF)“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and [i]did not know her till she had brought forth (AG)her[j] firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
