Now 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.

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

20 M a mentre aveva queste cose nell’animo, un angelo del Signore gli apparve in sogno, dicendo: «Giuseppe, figlio di Davide, non temere di prendere con te Maria, tua moglie; perché ciò che in lei è generato, viene dallo Spirito Santo.

But 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.

21 E lla partorirà un figlio, e tu gli porrai nome Gesù, perché è lui che salverà il suo popolo dai loro peccati».

She shall give birth to a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

22 T utto ciò avvenne, affinché si adempisse quello che era stato detto dal Signore per mezzo del profeta:

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

23 « La vergine sarà incinta e partorirà un figlio, al quale sarà posto nome Emmanuele », che tradotto vuol dire: «Dio con noi ».

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel”; which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”

24 G iuseppe, destatosi dal sonno, fece come l’angelo del Signore gli aveva comandato e prese con sé sua moglie;

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

25 e non ebbe con lei rapporti coniugali finché ella non ebbe partorito un figlio; e gli pose nome Gesù.

and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
