Text English Load from Vulgate:

IN those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus
that the whole world should be enrolled*.
This was the first enrollment,
when Quirinius was governor of Sy*ria.
So all went to be enrolled*,, each to his own town*.
And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth
to Judea,, to the city of David that is called Be*thlehem,
because he was of the house and family of David,
to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
While they were there,+
the time came for her to have her child*,
and she gave birth to her firstborn son*.
She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger,
because there was no room for them in the inn*=.

Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields+
and keeping the night watch over their flock*.
The angel of the Lord appeared to them+
and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were struck with great fear.
The angel said* to them,
"Do not be afraid*;
for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy
that will be for all the people.
For today in the city of David
a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord*.
And this will be a sign* for you:
you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes
and lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel,+
praising God and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests*."
