Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 A va Joseph tah aka duengla om tih anih te yan ham a ngaih pawt dongah toeng hamla duem cai.
And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Capa a cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh na sui ni. Anih long tah a pilnam te a tholh khui lamloh a khang ni.
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
22 Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23 Tonghma lamlong khaw, “Oila te bungvawn la om vetih capa a cun ni, a ming tah Emmanuel la a khue uh ni he. Te tah mamih taengah aka om Pathen ni a thuingaih,” a ti nah.
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
24 Joseph tah a ih kung lamkah a thoh vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn loh anih a uen bangla a ngai tih a yuu te a loh.
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;
25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
