19 A sava Joseph loe katoeng kami ah oh, to pongah minawk panoeksak han koeh ai, a zu to tamquta hoi pahnawt sut hanah a poek.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not choosing to make an example of her, intended to put her away privately.
20 To tiah a poek li naah, khenah, Angraeng ih van kami mah amang ah anih khaeah amtueng thuih, David capa Joseph, na zu Meri to zu ah lak han zii hmah: anih loe Kacai Muithla rang hoiah ni zokpomh.
But while he was thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take home Mary your wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Meri mah Caa nongpa to sah tih, Anih ih ahmin loe JESU, tiah sak han oh, Anih loe angmah ih kaminawk to zaehaih thung hoiah pahlong tih, tiah a naa.
And she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Tahmaa patohhaih rang hoiah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok akoep hanah hae hmuen hae sak ah oh,
Now all this was done, that the word might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
23 khenah, kacuem tangla loe zokpom tih, capa maeto sah ueloe, anih ih ahmin to Emmanuel, tiah kawk o tih; thuih koehhaih loe Sithaw aicae hoi nawnto oh, tih haih ih ni.
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and his name shall be called Immanuel, which, when translated, is, God with us.
24 Joseph iih anglawt pacoengah loe, Angraeng ih van kami mah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah Meri to zu ah lak,
And Joseph awoke from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him; and he took home his wife,
25 a zu mah Calu nongpa tapen ai karoek to a zu to iip haih ai. Anih ih ahmin to JESU, tiah a sak.
and knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son. And he called his name Jesus.
