Latin text 31  Ecce concipies et paries filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum. 32  Hic erit magnus, et filius Altissimi vocabitur. Super solium David et super regnum ejus sedebit 33  et regnabit in domo Jacob in aeternum et regni ejus non erit finis.

English translation 31  Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. 32  He shall be great and shall be called the son of the Most High. He shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom 33  and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
