18 N ow 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.

Or la nascita di Gesú Cristo avvenne in questo modo. Maria, sua madre, era stata promessa in matrimonio a Giuseppe, ma prima che iniziassero a stare insieme, si trovò incinta per opera dello Spirito Santo.

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

Allora Giuseppe, suo sposo, che era uomo giusto e non voleva esporla ad infamia, deliberò di lasciarla segretamente.

20 B ut 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.

Ma, mentre rifletteva su queste cose, ecco che un angelo del Signore gli apparve in sogno, dicendo: «Giuseppe, figlio di Davide, non temere di prendere con te Maria come tua moglie, perché ciò che è stato concepito in lei è opera dello Spirito Santo.

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

Ed ella partorirà un figlio e tu gli porrai nome Gesú, perché egli salverà il suo popolo dai loro peccati».

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

Or tutto ciò avvenne affinché si adempisse quello che era stato detto dal Signore, per mezzo del profeta che dice:

23 “ 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.”

«Ecco, la vergine sarà incinta e partorirà un figlio, il quale sarà chiamato Emmanuele che, interpretato, vuol dire: "Dio con noi".

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

E Giuseppe, destatosi dal sonno, fece come l'angelo del Signore gli aveva comandato e prese con sé sua moglie;

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

ma egli non la conobbe, finché ella ebbe partorito il suo figlio primogenito, al quale pose nome Gesú.
