18.예수 그리스도의 나심은 이러하니라 그의 어머니 마리아가 요셉과 약혼하고
동거하기 전에 성령으로 잉태된 것이 나타났더니
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph,
but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19.그의 남편 요셉은 의로운 사람이라 그를 드러내지 아니하고 가만히 끊고자 하여
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace,
he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20.이 일을 생각할 때에 주의 사자가 현몽하여 이르되 다윗의 자손 요셉아 네 아내 마리아 데려오기를 무서워하지 말라
그에게 잉태된 자는 성령으로 된 것이라
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21.아들을 낳으리니 이름을 예수라 하라 이는 그가 자기 백성을 그들의 죄에서 구원할 자이심이라 하니라
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
22.이 모든 일이 된 것은 주께서 선지자로 하신 말씀을 이루려 하심이니 이르시되
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23.보라 처녀가 잉태하여 아들을 낳을 것이요 그의 이름은 임마누엘이라 하리라 하셨으니
이를 번역한즉 하나님이 우리와 함께 계시다 함이라
"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"
which means, "God with us."
24.요셉이 잠에서 깨어 일어나 주의 사자의 분부대로 행하여 그의 아내를 데려왔으나
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
25.아들을 낳기까지 동침하지 아니하더니 낳으매 이름을 예수라 하니라
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
