Lukas 2:1-20

And it came about at that time that a dvar malchut (decree) was sent out from Caesar Augustus to register everyone in the entire Roman Empire. This former mifkad was that taken while Quirinius was ruling in Syria (see Ac 5:37 for latter). And everyone was traveling to register, each to his own shtetl. Now Yosef also went up from the Galil, from the shtetl of Natzeret, to Yehudah, to the Ir Dovid (City of David), which is called Beit-Lechem, because he was of the mishpochah and Bais of Dovid. And Yosef went up to register with Miryam, who had been given to him in erusin (betrothal) and who was with child. And it came about, while they were there, the yamim (days) were fulfilled for Miryam to give birth. And she bore her ben, her Bechor (firstborn); and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in an evus (animal feeding trough), because there was no place for them in the malon (inn). And ro'im (shepherds) were in the same region, living outside in the open air, and keeping shomer over their eder (flock) balailah. And, suddenly, a malach HASHEM stood before them, and the kavod HASHEM shone around them; and they were afraid with a yirah gedolah (great fear). And the malach said to them, Do not have pachad (fear, terror); for hinei I announce Besuras HaGeulah to you of great simcha (joy) which will be for kol Am Berit (all the People of the Covenant); Because hayom, in Ir Dovid, has been born to you a Moshia (Go'el, Savior, Oisleizer), who is Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach HaAdon. And this will be HaOt (The Sign) to you: you will find a small child, an infant, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in an evus. And, suddenly, there was with the malach a multitude of the Tzivos HASHEM, the Tzivos HaShomayim (Armies or Hosts of Heaven) praising HASHEM, and saying, Kavod to HASHEM in the Highest; and on haaretz shalom among Bnei Adam kavvanah tovah (of good intention). And it came about, when the malachim withdrew from them to Shomayim, the roim (shepherds) were saying to one another, Let us go now up to Beit-Lechem and let us see this thing that has come about which HASHEM has made known to us. And they came in haste and found both Miryam and Yosef, and the child was lying in the evus (animal feeding trough). And when the roim saw this, they made known the dvar concerning this yeled which had been told them. And all who heard it were amazed about the things which were told them by the roim (shepherds). But Miryam was treasuring up all these things, pondering them in her lev. And the roim went back, and as they returned, they cried, Baruch HASHEM! They gave kavod to G-d for all that they had heard and seen, just as it had been foretold to them.
