1 E aconteceu naqueles dias que saiu um decreto da parte de César Augusto, para que todo o mundo se alistasse

2 (Este primeiro alistamento foi feito sendo Quirino presidente da Síria).

3 E todos iam alistar-se, cada um à sua própria cidade.

4 E subiu também José da Galileia, da cidade de Nazaré, à Judeia, à cidade de Davi, chamada Belém (porque era da casa e família de Davi),

5 A fim de alistar-se com sua mulher Maria, desposada com ele, a qual estava grávida.

1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city. 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
