1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

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.
