1:18  UZakariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Ngizakwazi ngani lokhu? Ngoba mina ngilixhegu, lomkami useleminyaka eminengi.

1:19  Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: NginguGabriyeli mina, omayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; njalo ngithunyiwe ukukhuluma lawe, lokukubikela lezizindaba ezinhle.

1:23  Kwasekusithi seziphelile insuku zokukhonza kwakhe, waya endlini yakhe.

1:24  Kwathi emva kwalezonsuku uElizabethi umkakhe wathatha isisu, wazifihla okwezinyanga ezinhlanu, esithi:

1:25  Yenze kanje kimi iNkosi ensukwini eyangikhangela ngazo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.

1:26  Kwathi ngenyanga yesithupha ingilosi uGabriyeli yathunywa nguNkulunkulu emzini weGalili othiwa yiNazaretha,

1:27  entombini eyayigane indoda, ebizo layo lalinguJosefa, eyendlu kaDavida; lebizo lentombi linguMariya.

1:28  Ingilosi yasingena kuye yathi: Ekuhle, wena othandiweyo! INkosi ilawe, ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana.

1:29  Kwathi eseyibonile wethuswa kakhulu yilizwi layo, wanakana ukuthi yikubingelela okunjani lokhu.

1:31  Njalo khangela, uzathatha isisu, uzale indodana, uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJesu.

1:32  Yena uzakuba mkhulu, uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke; futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu izamnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavida,

1:33  njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube nininini, langombuso wakhe kawuzukuba lokuphela.

1:34  UMariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Lokhu kungenzeka njani, njengoba ngingazi indoda?

1:35  Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, lamandla oPhezukonke azakwembesa; ngakho lalokhu okungcwele okuzazalwa nguwe kuzakuthiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

1:36  Njalo khangela, isinini sakho uElizabethi, laye ukhulelwe yindodana ebudaleni bakhe; lale yinyanga yesithupha kuye obekuthiwa uyinyumba.

1:37  Ngoba kuNkulunkulu kakulalutho oluzakwehlula.

1:41  Kwasekusithi uElizabethi ezwe ukubingelela kukaMariya, inkonyane yeqa esiswini sakhe; loElizabethi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele,

1:42  wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana, njalo sibusisiwe isithelo sesizalo sakho!

1:43  Kanti kuvela ngaphi lokhu kimi, ukuthi unina weNkosi yami eze kimi?

1:44  Ngoba khangela, kuthe ilizwi lokubingelela kwakho lifika endlebeni zami, umntwana weqa esiswini sami ngokuthokoza.

1:45  Futhi ubusisiwe okholiweyo, ngoba kuzagcwaliseka lezozinto ezakhulunywa kuye yiNkosi.

1:46  UMariya wasesithi: Umphefumulo wami uyayikhulisa iNkosi,

1:47  lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,

1:48  ngoba ukhangele ubuphansi bencekukazi yakhe. Ngoba khangela, kusukela khathesi zonke izizukulwana zizakuthi ngibusisiwe.

1:49  Ngoba yena olamandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu, lingcwele lebizo lakhe,

1:50  lesihawu sakhe sikusizukulwana ngesizukulwana kulabo abamesabayo.

1:51  Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe; uhlakazile abazigqajayo ekunakaneni kwenhliziyo zabo.

1:52  Wehlisile iziphathamandla ezihlalweni zobukhosi, kodwa uphakamisile abantukazana.

1:53  Abalambileyo ubasuthise ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa abanothileyo wabamukisa beze.

1:54  Umsizile uIsrayeli inceku yakhe, ngokukhumbula isihawu,

1:55  njengoba watsho kubobaba bethu, kuAbrahama, lenzalweni yakhe kuze kube nininini.

1:56  UMariya wasehlala laye okungaba zinyanga ezintathu, wasebuyela endlini yakhe.

1:57  Isikhathi sikaElizabethi sokuthi abelethe sesiphelele, wasebeletha indodana.

1:60  Kodwa unina waphendula wathi: Hatshi bo, kodwa luzathiwa nguJohane.

1:61  Basebesithi kuye: Kakho ezihlotsheni zakho obizwa ngalelibizo.

1:62  Basebeqhweba uyise, ukuthi angathanda ukuthi lubizwe ngokuthini.

1:63  Wasecela into yokubhalela, wabhala, esithi: NguJohane ibizo lalo; basebemangala bonke.

1:64  Njalo wahle wavulwa umlomo wakhe lolimi lwakhe lwatshwaphululwa, wasekhuluma edumisa uNkulunkulu.
