Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

But as he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as yoʋr wife, for the child that is conceived in her is from 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.
She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
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.

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.

25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
