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.

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.
