26 But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which {the} name {was} Nazareth,

27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name {was} Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name {was} Mary.

28 And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, {thou} favoured one! the Lord {is} with thee: {blessed art *thou* amongst women}.

29 But she, {seeing} {the angel}, was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.

30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;

31 and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.

32 *He* shall be great, and shall be called Son of {the} Highest; and {the} Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father;

33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end.

34 But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?

35 And the angel answering said to her, {The} Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of {the} Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.

36 And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:

37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.

38 And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of {the} Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

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。
