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.
The birth of Jesus Christ happened in the following way. His mother, Mary, was engaged to marry Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

Her husband, Joseph, was a righteous man, and he did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to secretly end his engagement with her.
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.
As he thought about these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, because the one who is conceived in her is conceived by 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, and you will call his name 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 to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 " Voici que la Vierge concevra et enfantera un fils; et on le nommera Emmanuel, " c'est à dire Dieu avec nous.
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel”—which means, “God 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.
Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and he took her as his wife.
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.
But he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Then he called his name Jesus.
