Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 A va Joseph tah aka duengla om tih anih te yan ham a ngaih pawt dongah toeng hamla duem cai.
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 He a poek vaengah, boeipa kah puencawn loh anih taengla a mang ah pakcak a phoe pah tih, “David capa Joseph Mary te na yuula loh ham rhih boeh, anih a vawn he Mueihla Cim rhangnen ni,”.
But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
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 shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.
22 Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 Tonghma lamlong khaw, “Oila te bungvawn la om vetih capa a cun ni, a ming tah Emmanuel la a khue uh ni he. Te tah mamih taengah aka om Pathen ni a thuingaih,” a ti nah.
Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.
24 Joseph tah a ih kung lamkah a thoh vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn loh anih a uen bangla a ngai tih a yuu te a loh.
And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;
25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.
