¹⁸Now 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.

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.

¹⁹But Joseph, her husband, being [a] righteous [man], and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;

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

²⁰but 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.

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 came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord, through 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, 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.'

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.

²⁴But Joseph, having awoke up from his sleep, did as the angel of [the] Lord had enjoined him, and took to [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 until 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.
