26 Ngenyanga yesithupha yokuzithwala kuka-Elizabethi, uNkulunkulu wathuma ingilosi uGabhuriyeli eNazaretha, idolobho elaliseGalile, 27 ukuya entombini egcweleyo eyayithembise ukutshada lendoda eyayithiwa nguJosefa, owesizukulwane sikaDavida. Ibizo lentombi egcweleyo le kwakunguMariya. 28 Ingilosi yaya kuye yathi, "Sabona wena othole umusa kakhulukazi INkosi ilawe."

30 Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye, "Ungesabi Mariya, uthole umusa kuNkulunkulu. 31 Uzakhulelwa ubelethe indodana, uyethe ibizo uthi nguJesu. 32 Uzaba ngumuntu omkhulu abizwe ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke. INkosi uNkulunkulu izamupha isihlalo sikayise uDavida, 33 njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakhobe laphakade; umbuso wakhe kawuyikuphela."

Ukuzalwa KukaJesu Khristu

18 UJesu Khristu wazalwa kanje: Unina uMariya wayethembise ukuthi uzakwendela kuJosefa kodwa kwathi bengakahlangani wabonakala esezithwele kwenziwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.

Ingoma KaMariya

46 UMariya wathi:

"Umphefumulo wami uyayidumisa iNkosi

47 lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,

48 ngoba ukunanzile

ukuzehlisa kwencekukazi yakhe.

Kusukela manje zonke izizukulwane zizakuthi ngibusisiwe,

49 ngoba uSomandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu,

lingcwele ibizo lakhe.

50 Isihawu sakhe sifinyelela kulabo abamesabayo,

kulandela isizukulwane ngesizukulwane.

51 Uyenzile imisebenzi emikhulu ngengalo yakhe:

ubachithizile labo abaziqakisa ngemicabango yezinhliziyo zabo.

52 Uwethule amakhosi ezihlalweni zawo,

kodwa wabaphakamisa abantukazana.

53 Ubasuthisile abalambileyo ngezinto ezinhle,

kodwa abanothileyo ubaxotshe bengaphathanga lutho.

54 Uyisizile inceku yakhe u-Israyeli,

wakhumbula ukuba lesihawu

55 ku-Abhrahama lezizukulwane zakhe laphakade,

njengoba wakutsho kubokhokho bethu."

4 UJosefa laye wahamba esuka edolobheni leNazaretha eseGalile waya eJudiya, eBhethilehema idolobho likaDavida, ngoba wayengowendlu losendo lukaDavida. 5 Waya khona ukuyabhalisa eloMariya, owayesethembise ukwendela kuye, esekhulelwe. 6 Bathi bekhonale safika isikhathi sokubelethwa komntwana, 7 wazibula ngendodana. Wayigoqela ngamalembu, wayilalisa emkolweni wokudlela izifuyo ngoba babengelandawo endlini yezihambi.

19 Kodwa uMariya wazenza igugu zonke lezizinto wazishicilela enhliziyweni yakhe.

34 USimiyoni wasebabusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: "Umntwana lo umiselwe ukuwa lokuvuka kwabanengi ko-Israyeli, lokuba yisibonakaliso esizagconwa, 35 ukwenzela ukuthi imicabango yabanengi ivele obala. Njalo inkemba izawugwaza umphefumulo wakho lawe."

48 Abazali bakhe bathi bembona bamangala kakhulu. Unina wathi kuye, "Ndodana, kungani usinqinekisa kangaka? Uyihlo lami besesikhathazekile sikudinga."

49 Yena wabuza wathi, "Belivele lingidingelani kanti? Belingazi yini ukuthi bekumele ngibe sendlini kaBaba?" 50 Kodwa kabazwisisanga lokho ayekutsho kubo.

51 Wasehamba labo eNazaretha wahlala ebalalela. Kodwa unina wazenza igugu zonke lezi izinto enhliziyweni yakhe.

3 Kwathi iwayini seliphelile unina kaJesu wathi kuye, "Sebephelelwe liwayini."

4 UJesu waphendula wathi, "Mama, mina lawe singena njani kulokho na? Isikhathi sami kasikafiki."

5 Unina wasesithi ezincekwini, "Libokwenza loba kuyini azalitshela khona."

25 Eduze kwesiphambano sakhe uJesu kwakumi unina, udadewabo kanina, uMariya umkaKlopasi loMariya Magadalini. 26 UJesu wathi ebona unina lapho lomfundi ayemthanda emi lapho eduze, wathi kunina, "Mama, nansi indodana yakho," 27 wathi kumfundi, "Nangu unyoko." Kusukela kulesosikhathi umfundi lowo wamthatha unina wamusa ekhaya lakhe.

Unina KaJesu Labafowabo

31 Kwasekufika unina kaJesu labafowabo. Bema phandle bathuma omunye umuntu ukuyambiza. 32 Abantu abanengi babehlezi bemhanqile, basebemtshela bathi, "Unyoko labafowenu baphandle bayakudinga."

33 Wabuza wathi, "Ngobani abangumama labafowethu na?"

34 Wasekhangela labo ababehlezi laye bemhanqile wathi, "Nampa abangumama labangabafowethu! 35 Loba ngubani owenza intando kaNkulunkulu ungumfowethu, ungudadewethu njalo ngumama."

55 Kanti lo kayisiyo indodana yombazi na? Ibizo likanina kasuMariya na, labafowabo kakusiJakhobe, uJosefa, uSimoni loJudasi na? 56 Odadewabo kabakho lapha kanye lathi na? Pho indoda le yazizuza ngaphi izinto zonke lezi?"

14 Bonke laba bahlangana kokuphela bekhuleka, bendawonye labesifazane loMariya unina kaJesu kanye labafowabo bakaJesu.
