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.

¹⁸And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,

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

¹⁹and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.

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,

²⁰And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, `Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,

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]

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

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]

²²And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

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.

²³`Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,` which is, being interpreted `With us [he is] God.`

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.

²⁴And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,

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

²⁵and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
