46 And Mary said: My soul gives glory to God;
47 My spirit is glad in God my Saviour.
48 For he has had pity on his servant, though she is poor and lowly placed: and from this hour will all generations give witness to the blessing which has come to me.
49 For he who is strong has done great things for me; and holy is his name.
50 His mercy is for all generations in whom is the fear of him.
51 With his arm he has done acts of power; he has put to flight those who have pride in their hearts.
52 He has put down kings from their seats, lifting up on high the men of low degree.
53 Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;
54 His help he has given to Israel, his servant, so that he might keep in mind his mercy to Abraham and his seed for ever,
55 As he gave his word to our fathers.
46 Et Marie dit: Mon âme exalte le Seigneur,
47 Et mon esprit se réjouit en Dieu, mon Sauveur,
48 Parce qu'il a jeté les yeux sur la bassesse de sa servante. Car voici, désormais toutes les générations me diront bienheureuse,
49 Parce que le Tout-Puissant a fait pour moi de grandes choses. Son nom est saint,
50 Et sa miséricorde s'étend d'âge en âge Sur ceux qui le craignent.
51 Il a déployé la force de son bras; Il a dispersé ceux qui avaient dans le coeur des pensées orgueilleuses.
52 Il a renversé les puissants de leurs trônes, Et il a élevé les humbles.
53 Il a rassasié de biens les affamés, Et il a renvoyé les riches à vide.
54 Il a secouru Israël, son serviteur, Et il s'est souvenu de sa miséricorde, -
55 Comme il l'avait dit à nos pères, -Envers Abraham et sa postérité pour toujours.
