18 Christi autem generatio sic erat: Cum esset desponsata mater eius Maria Ioseph, antequam convenirent, inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu sancto.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 Haec autem eo cogitante, ecce Angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei, dicens: Ioseph fili David, noli timere accipere Mariam coniugem tuam: quod enim in ea natum est, de Spiritu sancto est.
But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 pariet autem filium: et vocabis nomen eius IESUM: ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum.
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per Prophetam dicentem:
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 Ecce virgo in utero habebit, et pariet filium: et vocabitur nomen eius Emmanuel, quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus.
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Exurgens autem Ioseph a somno, fecit sicut praecepit ei angelus Domini, et accepit coniugem suam.
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 Et non cognoscebat eam donec peperit filium suum primogenitum: et vocavit nomen eius Iesum.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
