RBT Hebrew Literal:
The Other One
And he who has thought deeply over these ones [the branches] of himself, behold! an angel of a master, down to a dream appeared to himself, he who is speaking, "He Adds, son of Beloved, do not fear to take in Bitter-Rebel the Woman of yourself, for that which has been fathered within herself, it is from out of a spirit of a holy one!"5
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And reflecting upon these things, behold a messenger of the Lord appeared to him saying, Joseph, thou son of David, thou shouldest not fear to take to thyself Mary thy wife: for that begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.
LITV Translation:
And as he was thinking about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord was seen by him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For that in her is fathered by the Holy Spirit.
ESV Translation:
But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

The fact that τὸ (that which) and γεννηθὲν (that which is conceived/begotten) are in the neuter may be of no consequence. Perhaps the author mistakenly forgot to write these in the masculine him, to refer to the Messiah. Or perhaps not.

Strongs #G3880 παραλαμβάνω (paralambano), receive from, take from, take to oneself, receive something transmitted. This word can be tricky considering that παρα "close beside." When the verb παραλαμβάνω (paralambano) is used with a person, it typically signifies either taking something from them or receiving the person themselves. In this case we have τὴν γυναῖκά σου "the woman of yourself" which is in the accusative. The translation "as your wife" is changing the clause and adding the word "as". Greek employs a more common word λαμβάνω (lambano) for "to take." See Logeion on paralambanó and lambano.
