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 A ka mea a Meri, Ka whakanui toku wairua i te Ariki,

47 E hari ana toku wairua ki te Atua, ki toku Kaiwhakaora;

48 Mona i titiro ki te iti o tana pononga; ta te mea hoki katahi ahau ka kiia e nga whakatupuranga katoa e haere ake nei, he wahine hari.

49 He nui hoki nga mahi a te Mea Kaha ki ahau; he tapu hoki tona ingoa.

50 He mahi tohu tana ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, ki tenei whakatupuranga, ki tenei whakatupuranga.

51 Kua whakaputaina he kaha e ia, ara e tona ringa; nana te hunga whakakake i marara ai, i te whakaaro o o ratou ngakau.

52 Kua whakataka e ia nga piriniha i o ratou torona, a whakateiteitia ake ana te hunga iti.

53 Kua whakakiia e ia te hunga mate hiakai ki nga mea pai; kua tonoa kautia atu te hunga taonga.

54 Kua tautokona e ia a Iharaira, tana pononga, he whakamahara hoki ki tana mahi tohu;

55 Ki a Aperahama ratou ko tana whanau ake tonu atu, pera hoki me tana i korero ai ki o tatou matua.
