路加福音 2:8
- 14
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
在伯利恆之野地裡有牧羊的人，夜間按著更次看守羊群。
有主的使者站在他們旁邊，主的榮光四面照著他們；牧羊的人就甚懼怕。
那天使對他們說：「不要懼怕！我報給你們大喜的信息，是關乎萬民的；
因今天在大衛的城裡，為你們生了救主，就是主基督。
你們要看見一個嬰孩，包著布，臥在馬槽裡，那就是記號了。」
忽然，有一大隊天兵同那天使讚美神說：
在至高之處榮耀歸與神！在地上平安歸與他所喜悅的人（有古卷：喜悅歸與人）！

This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about : His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
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.
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."
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us").
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
耶穌基督降生的事記在下面：他母親馬利亞已經許配了約瑟，還沒有迎娶，馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。
他丈夫約瑟是個義人，不願意明明的羞辱他，想要暗暗的把他休了。
正思念這事的時候，有主的使者向他夢中顯現，說：「大衛的子孫約瑟，不要怕！只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來，因他所懷的孕是從聖靈來的。
他將要生一個兒子，你要給他起名叫耶穌，因他要將自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出來。」
這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知所說的話，
說：「必有童女懷孕生子；人要稱他的名為以馬內利。」（以馬內利繙出來就是「神與我們同在」。）
約瑟醒了，起來，就遵著主使者的吩咐把妻子娶過來；
只是沒有和他同房，等他生了兒子（有古卷：等他生了頭胎的兒子），就給他起名叫耶穌。

- 5
This is what the Lord says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified by them.
For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter.
Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good."
耶和華如此說：你們不要效法列國的行為，也不要為天象驚惶，因列國為此事驚惶。
眾民的風俗是虛空的；他們在樹林中用斧子砍伐一棵樹，匠人用手工造成偶像。
他們用金銀妝飾他，用釘子和錘子釘穩，使他不動搖。
他好像棕樹，是鏇成的，不能說話，不能行走，必須有人抬著。你們不要怕他；他不能降禍，也無力降福。
馬太福音 2:16
When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.
