6And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,
7and she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and wrapped him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not for them a place in the guest-chamber.
8And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock,
9and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear.
10And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people --
11because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is Christ the Lord -- in the city of David,
12and this [is] to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.`
