5 utprofiteretur cum Maria desponsata sibi, uxore praegnante.	5 to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
6 Factum est autem,cum essent ibi, impleti sunt dies, ut pareret,	6 While they were there, the time came for her to have her child,
7 et peperit filium suumprimogenitum; et pannis eum involvit et reclinavit eum in praesepio, quia nonerat eis locus in deversorio.	7 and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Et pastores erant in regione eadem vigilantes et custodientes vigilias noctissupra gregem suum.	8 Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock.
9 Et angelus Domini stetit iuxta illos, et claritas Dominicircumfulsit illos, et timuerunt timore magno.	9 The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear.
10 Et dixit illis angelus: “Nolite timere; ecce enim evangelizo vobis gaudium magnum, quod erit omni populo,	10 The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

14 “ Gloria in altissimis Deo, et super terram pax in hominibus bonae voluntatis ”.	14 "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
15 Et factum est, ut discesserunt ab eis angeli in caelum, pastores loquebanturad invicem: “ Transeamus usque Bethlehem et videamus hoc verbum, quod factumest, quod Dominus ostendit nobis ”.	15 When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us."
16 Et venerunt festinantes et inveneruntMariam et Ioseph et infantem positum in praesepio.	16 So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
17 Videntes autem notumfecerunt verbum, quod dictum erat illis de puero hoc.	17 When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child.
18 Et omnes, quiaudierunt, mirati sunt de his, quae dicta erant a pastoribus ad ipsos.	18 All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds.
19 Mariaautem conservabat omnia verba haec conferens in corde suo.	19 And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.

23 sicut scriptum est inlege Domini: “ Omne masculinum adaperiens vulvam sanctum Domino vocabitur ”,	23 just as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,"
