Luke 2:6-10 in Translation for Translators

6 When they arrived in Bethlehem, there was no place for them to stay in the house where travelers stay. So they stayed in a cattle shed. When the time for Mary to give birth arrived, she gave birth to her first son there. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and placed him in a trough where people put food for the animals.
8 That night, there were some shepherds who were taking care of their sheep as usual in the fields near Bethlehem.
9 An angel from God appeared to them. A great light ◄from the Lord/from God► shone on them and around them. So they became very afraid.
