18 Or la naissance de Jésus-Christ arriva ainsi. Marie, sa mère, étant fiancée à Joseph, il se trouva, avant qu'ils eussent habité ensemble, qu'elle avait conçu par la vertu du Saint-Esprit.
This is how Jesus Christ was born: His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but, before the marriage took place, she found herself to be pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.
19 Joseph, son mari, qui était un homme juste, ne voulant pas la diffamer, résolut de la renvoyer secrètement.
Her husband, Joseph, was a just man and, since he did not want to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to put an end to their engagement privately.
20 Comme il était dans cette pensée, voici qu'un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, et lui dit: " Joseph, fils de David, ne craint point de prendre avec toi Marie ton épouse, car ce qui est formé en elle est l'ouvrage du Saint-Esprit.
He had been thinking this over, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
21 Et elle enfantera un fils, et tu lui donneras le nom de Jésus; car il sauvera son peuple de ses péchés. "
She will give birth to a son; name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 Or tout cela arriva afin que fût accompli ce qu'avait dit le Seigneur par le prophète:
All this happened in fulfillment of these words of the Lord through the prophet, where he says –
23 " Voici que la Vierge concevra et enfantera un fils; et on le nommera Emmanuel, " c'est à dire Dieu avec nous.
‘The virgin will conceive and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel’ – a word which means ‘God is with us.’
24 Réveillé de son sommeil, Joseph fit ce que l'ange du Seigneur lui avait commandé: il prit avec lui Marie son épouse.
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.
25 Mais il ne la connut point jusqu'à ce qu'elle enfantât son fils premier-né, à qui il donna le nom de Jésus.
He made Mary his wife, but they did not sleep together before the birth of her son; and to this son he gave the name Jesus.
