¹⁸Fæðing Jesú Krists varð með þessum atburðum: María, móðir hans, var föstnuð Jósef. En áður en þau komu saman, reyndist hún þunguð af heilögum anda.

¹⁸Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹Jósef, festarmaður hennar, sem var grandvar, vildi ekki gjöra henni opinbera minnkun og hugðist skilja við hana í kyrrþey.

¹⁹Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

²⁰Hann hafði ráðið þetta með sér, en þá vitraðist honum engill Drottins í draumi og sagði: ,,Jósef, sonur Davíðs, óttastu ekki að taka til þín Maríu, heitkonu þína. Barnið, sem hún gengur með, er af heilögum anda.

²⁰But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

²¹Hún mun son ala, og hann skaltu láta heita Jesú, því að hann mun frelsa lýð sinn frá syndum þeirra.``

²¹She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

²²Allt varð þetta til þess, að rætast skyldu orð Drottins fyrir munn spámannsins:

²²Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²³,,Sjá, mærin mun þunguð verða og son ala. Nafn hans mun vera Immanúel,`` það þýðir: Guð með oss.

²³“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel”; which is, being interpreted, “God with us.” Isaiah 7:14

²⁴Þegar Jósef vaknaði, gjörði hann eins og engill Drottins hafði boðið honum og tók konu sína til sín.Hann kenndi hennar ekki fyrr en hún hafði alið son. Og hann gaf honum nafnið JESÚS.

²⁴Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

²⁵Hann kenndi hennar ekki fyrr en hún hafði alið son. Og hann gaf honum nafnið JESÚS.

²⁵and didn’t know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
