But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Capa a cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh na sui ni. Anih long tah a pilnam te a tholh khui lamloh a khang ni.
And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.
