18 Christi autem generatio sic erat: Cum esset desponsata mater eius Maria Ioseph, antequam convenirent, inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu sancto.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Ioseph autem vir eius cum esset iustus, et nollet eam traducere: voluit occulte dimittere eam.
But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
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.
And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
21 pariet autem filium: et vocabis nomen eius IESUM: ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum.
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for 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 happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
23 Ecce virgo in utero habebit, et pariet filium: et vocabitur nomen eius Emmanuel, quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus.
Behold! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "God with us."
24 Exurgens autem Ioseph a somno, fecit sicut praecepit ei angelus Domini, et accepit coniugem suam.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 Et non cognoscebat eam donec peperit filium suum primogenitum: et vocavit nomen eius Iesum.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
