46 Tedy řekla Maria: Velebí duše má Hospodina,

47 A veselí se duch můj v Bohu, Spasiteli mém,

48 Že jest vzezřel na ponížení služebnice své; neb aj, od této chvíle blahoslaviti mne budou všickni národové.

49 Neboť mi učinil veliké věci ten, jenž mocný jest, a svaté jméno jeho,

50 A jehož milosrdenství od pokolení až do pokolení bojícím se jeho.

51 Dokázal moci ramenem svým, rozptýlil pyšné myšlením srdce jejich.

52 Sházel mocné s stolic, a povýšil ponížených.

53 Lačné nakrmil dobrými věcmi, a bohaté pustil prázdné.

54 Přijal Izraele, služebníka svého, pamětliv jsa na milosrdenství své

55 (Jakož mluvil k otcům našim, k Abrahamovi a semeni jeho) na věky.

46 Mary said,

"My soul magnifies the Lord.

47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,

48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant.

For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me.

Holy is his name.

50 His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.

51 He has shown strength with his arm.

He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 He has put down princes from their thrones,

and has exalted the lowly.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things.

He has sent the rich away empty.

54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,

55 as he spoke to our fathers,

to Abraham and his offspring forever."
