And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from 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 her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.

And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her 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 bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
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.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “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, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
