¹⁸Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

¹⁸Ary ny nahaterahan'i Jesosy Kristy dia toy izao: Rehefa nanaiky Maria, renin'i Jesosy, ho fofombadin'i Josefa, raha tsy mbola nivady izy, dia hita fa nitoe-jaza avy tamin'ny Fanahy Masina izy.

¹⁹Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

¹⁹Ary Josefa vadiny, izay lehilahy marina sady tsy ta-hanala baraka azy, dia nikasa hametraka azy mangingina.

²⁰But while he thought on these things, behold, the 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.

²⁰Fa raha mbola nisaina izany izy, indro, nisy anjelin'ny Tompo niseho taminy tamin'ny nofy ka nanao hoe: Ry Josefa, zanak'i Davida, aza matahotra hampakatra an'i Maria vadinao; fa ny Zaza ao an-kibony dia avy amin'ny Fanahy Masina,

²¹And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

²¹ka hiteraka Zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany hataonao hoe Jesosy; fa Izy no hamonjy ny olony ho afaka amin'ny fahotany. [Jesosy = Jehovah no Mpamonjy]

²²Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

²²Ary izany rehetra izany dia tonga mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazain'ny Tompo ny mpaminany hoe: [Gr. profeta dia olona voafidin'Andriamanitra ho mpilaza ny teniny]

²³Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

²³Indro, ny virijina hitoe-jaza ka hiteraka zazalahy; Ary ny anarany hataon'ny olona hoe Imanoela (Isa. 7. 14), izany hoe, raha adika: Amintsika Andriamanitra.

²⁴Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

²⁴Ary Josefa, rehefa nahatsiaro tamin'ny torimasony, dia nanao araka izay nandidian'ny anjelin'ny Tompo ary ka nampakatra ny vadiny.Ary tsy nahalala azy izy mandra-piterany Zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Jesosy.

²⁵And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

²⁵Ary tsy nahalala azy izy mandra-piterany Zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Jesosy.
