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 Disse Maria: A minha alma engrandece ao Senhor,
47 E o meu espírito alegrou-se em Deus meu Salvador,
48 Porque pôs os olhos na baixeza da sua serva. Pois de ora em diante todas as gerações me chamarão bem-aventurada,
49 Porque o Poderoso me fez grandes coisas. Santo é o seu nome,
50 E a sua misericórdia estende-se de geração em geração Sobre os que o temem.
51 Manifestou poder com o seu braço, Dissipou os que tinham pensamentos soberbos no coração;
52 Depôs os poderosos dos seus tronos E exaltou os humildes,
53 Encheu de bens os famintos E despediu vazios os ricos.
54 Socorreu a Israel, seu servo, Lembrando-se de misericórdia
55 (Como falou a nossos pais) Para com Abraão e a sua posteridade para sempre.
