26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 To a virgin who was to be married to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

28 And the angel came in to her and said, Peace be with you, to whom special grace has been given; the Lord is with you.

29 But she was greatly troubled at his words, and said to herself, What may be the purpose of these words?

30 And the angel said to her, Have no fear, Mary, for you have God's approval.

31 And see, you will give birth to a son, and his name will be Jesus.

32 He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

33 He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.

34 And Mary said to the angel, How may this be, because I have had no knowledge of a man?

35 And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

36 Even now Elisabeth, who is of your family, is to be a mother, though she is old: and this is the sixth month with her who was without children.

37 For there is nothing which God is not able to do.

38 And Mary said: I am the servant of the Lord; may it be to me as you say. And the angel went away.

26 到了第六个月， 天使加百列奉 神差遣， 往加利利的拿撒勒城去，

27 到了一个童贞女那里， 她已经和大卫家一个名叫约瑟的人订了婚， 童贞女的名字是马利亚。

28 天使进去， 对她说： "恭喜！ 蒙大恩的女子， 主与你同在！ "

29 她却因这话惊慌起来， 反复思想这样祝贺是什么意思。

30 天使说： "马利亚， 不要怕！ 因你已从 神那里蒙了恩。

31 你将怀孕生子， 要给他起名叫耶稣。

32 他将要被尊为大， 称为至高者的儿子， 主 神要把他祖大卫的王位赐给他，

33 他要作王统治雅各家， 直到永远， 他的国没有穷尽。"

34 马利亚对天使说： "我还没有出嫁， 怎能有这事呢？"

35 天使回答： "圣灵要临到你， 至高者的能力要覆庇你， 因此那将要出生的圣者， 必称为 神的儿子。

36 你看， 你亲戚以利沙伯， 被称为不生育的， 在老年也怀了男胎， 现在已是第六个月了，

37 因为在 神没有一件事是不可能的。"

38 马利亚说： "我是主的婢女， 愿照你的话成就在我身上！ "天使就离开她去了。
