18 T he birth of Jesus Christ was like this: Mary His mother had been promised in marriage to Joseph. Before they were married, it was learned that she was to have a baby by the Holy Spirit.

El nacimiento de Jesucristo fue como sigue: estando Su madre María comprometida para casarse con José, antes de que se llevara a cabo el matrimonio, se halló que había concebido por obra del Espíritu Santo.

19 J oseph was her promised husband. He was a good man and did not want to make it hard for Mary in front of people. He thought it would be good to break the promised marriage without people knowing it.

Entonces José su marido, siendo un hombre justo y no queriendo denunciarla públicamente, quiso abandonarla en secreto.

20 W hile he was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is to become a mother by the Holy Spirit.

Pero mientras pensaba en esto, se le apareció en sueños un ángel del Señor, diciéndole: “José, hijo de David, no temas recibir a María tu mujer, porque el Niño que se ha engendrado en ella es del Espíritu Santo.

21 A Son will be born to her. You will give Him the name Jesus because He will save His people from the punishment of their sins.”

Y dará a luz un Hijo, y Le pondrás por nombre Jesús, porque El salvará a Su pueblo de sus pecados.”

“ He aqui, la virgen concebira y dara a luz un Hijo, y Le pondran por nombre Emmanuel,” que traducido significa: “ Dios con nosotros.”

25 B ut he did not have her, as a husband has a wife, until she gave birth to a Son. Joseph gave Him the name Jesus.

y la conservó virgen hasta que dio a luz un Hijo; y Le puso por nombre Jesús.
