1 I stalo se v těch dnech, vyšlo jest vyrčení od císaře Augusta, aby byl popsán všecken svět.

2 (To popsání nejprve stalo se, když vladařem Syrským byl Cyrenius.)

3 I šli všickni, aby zapsáni byli, jeden každý do svého města.

4 Vstoupil pak i Jozef od Galilee z města Nazarétu do Judstva, do města Davidova, kteréž slove Betlém, (protože byl z domu a z čeledi Davidovy,)

5 Aby zapsán byl s Marijí, zasnoubenou sobě manželkou, těhotnou.

1 Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.

2 This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria.

3 And all men went to be numbered, everyone to his town.

4 And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David,

5 To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother.
