20 Maar terwyl hy dit in die gedagte gehad het, verskyn daar 'n engel van die Here in 'n droom aan hom en sê: Josef, seun van Dawid, wees nie bevrees om Maria, jou vrou, by jou te neem nie, want wat in haar verwek is, is uit die Heilige Gees;

21 en sy sal 'n seun baar, en jy moet Hom Jesus noem, want dit is Hy wat sy volk van hulle sondes sal verlos.

20 But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

21 And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
