18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of [the] Holy Spirit.
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting her away privately.
20 but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to [thee] Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit.
And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit:
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.
and she will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate his people from their sins.
22 Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through the prophet, saying,
Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, 'God with us.'
Behold, a virgin will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our God with us.
24 But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of [the] Lord had enjoined him, and took to [him] his wife,
And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
