أَمَّا وِلَادَةُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَكَانَتْ هَكَذَا: لَمَّا كَانَتْ مَرْيَمُ أُمُّهُ مَخْطُوبَةً لِيُوسُفَ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَا، وُجِدَتْ حُبْلَى مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.

This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.

19ܣܵܒܵܒ ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܓܲܒ݂ܪܘܼܗ̇ ܟܹܐܢܵܐ ܝܗ݇ܘܵܐ، ܠܵܐ ܒܥܹܐ ܠܹܗ ܕܡܲܢܟܸܦ ܗ݇ܘܵܐ ܠܵܗ̇ ܓܲܠܝܵܐܝܼܬ، ܘܬܘܼܚܡܸܢܹܗ ܕܒܛܸܫܘܵܐ ܪܲܦܹܐ ܗ݇ܘܵܐ ܠܵܗ̇.

فَيُوسُفُ رَجُلُهَا إِذْ كَانَ بَارًّا، وَلَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يُشْهِرَهَا، أَرَادَ تَخْلِيَتَهَا سِرًّا.

Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.

20ܐܝܼܢܵܐ ܟܲܕ ܗ̇ܘ ܗܵܕܟ݂ܵܐ ܬܲܚܡܘܼܢܹܐ، ܦܝܼܫ ܠܹܗ ܚܸܙܝܵܐ ܐܸܠܹܗ ܡܲܠܲܐܟ݂ܵܐ ܕܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܒܚܸܠܡܵܐ، ܘܐܡܝܼܪܹܗ ܐܸܠܹܗ: ”ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܒܪܘܿܢܵܐ ܕܕܵܘܝܼܕ، ܠܵܐ ܙܵܕܥܹܬ ܠܸܫܩܵܠܵܐ ܠܡܲܪܝܲܡ ܕܗܵܘܝܵܐ ܒܲܟ݂ܬܘܼܟ݂، ܣܵܒܵܒ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܦܝܼܫ ܠܹܗ ܒܛܝܼܢܵܐ ܒܝܼܘܼܗ̇ ܡ̣ܢ ܪܘܼܚܵܐ ܕܩܘܼܕܫܵܐ ܝܠܹܗ.

وَلَكِنْ فِيمَا هُوَ مُتَفَكِّرٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، إِذَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لَهُ فِي حُلْمٍ قَائِلًا: «يَا يُوسُفُ ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ، لَا تَخَفْ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ مَرْيَمَ ٱمْرَأَتَكَ. لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي حُبِلَ بِهِ فِيهَا هُوَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.

As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

21”ܒܸܬ ܗܲܨܠܵܐ ܒܪܘܿܢܵܐ، ܘܒܸܬ ܩܵܪܹܝܬ ܫܸܡܹܗ ܝܼܫܘܿܥ، ܣܵܒܵܒ ܗ̇ܘ ܒܸܬ ܦܲܪܸܩ ܠܥܲܡܹܗ ܡ̣ܢ ܚܛܝܼܵܬܵܝ̈ܗܝ.“

فَسَتَلِدُ ٱبْنًا وَتَدْعُو ٱسْمَهُ يَسُوعَ. لِأَنَّهُ يُخَلِّصُ شَعْبَهُ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ».

And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

22ܟܠܵܗ̇ ܐܵܗܵܐ ܗ݇ܘܹܐ ܠܵܗ̇ ܕܦܵܐܹܫ ܬܘܼܡܸܡܵܐ ܡܸܢܕܝܼ ܕܦܝܼܫ ܠܹܗ ܐܡܝܼܪܵܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܒܝܲܕ ܢܒ݂ܝܼܵܐ، ܕܐܡܝܼܪܹܗ:

وَهَذَا كُلُّهُ كَانَ لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ:

All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet:

23ܗܵܐ ܒܬܘܼܠܬܵܐ ܒܸܬ ܒܵܛܢܵܐ ܘܒܸܬ ܗܲܨܠܵܐ ܒܪܘܿܢܵܐ، ܘܒܸܬ ܩܵܪܝܼ ܫܸܡܹܗ ܥܲܡܲܢܘܼܐܹܝܠ، ܕܦܝܵܫܵܐ ܝܠܹܗ ܦܘܼܫܩܵܐ: ”ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ ܥܲܡܲܢ.“

«هُوَذَا ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ تَحْبَلُ وَتَلِدُ ٱبْنًا، وَيَدْعُونَ ٱسْمَهُ عِمَّانُوئِيلَ» ٱلَّذِي تَفْسِيرُهُ: ٱللهُ مَعَنَا.

“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

24ܘܟܲܕ ܪܥܝܼܫ ܠܹܗ ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܡ̣ܢ ܫܸܢܬܹܗ، ܥܒ݂ܝܼܕ ܠܹܗ ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܕܦܝܼܫ ܠܹܗ ܦܩܝܼܕܵܐ ܒܡܲܠܲܐܟ݂ܵܐ ܕܡܵܪܝܵܐ، ܘܫܩܝܼܠܵܐ ܠܹܗ ܕܗܵܘܝܵܐ ܒܲܟ݂ܬܹܗ؛

فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْقَظَ يُوسُفُ مِنَ ٱلنَّوْمِ فَعَلَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَخَذَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ.

When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife.

25ܘܠܵܐ ܝܕܝܼܥܵܐ ܠܹܗ ܗܲܠ ܕܗܘܼܨܸܠ ܠܵܗ̇ ܒܪܘܿܢܘܼܗ̇؛ ܘܩܪܹܐ ܠܵܗ̇ ܫܸܡܹܗ ܝܼܫܘܿܥ.

وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا حَتَّى وَلَدَتِ ٱبْنَهَا ٱلْبِكْرَ. وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ يَسُوعَ.

But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.
