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 Na i te ono o nga marama ka tonoa a Kapariera, te anahera, e te Atua ki tetahi pa o Kariri, ko Nahareta te ingoa,
27 Ki tetahi wahine i taumautia ma tetahi tangata, ko Hohepa te ingoa, no te whare o Rawiri; ko te ingoa o te wahine ko Meri.
28 Na, ko tona haerenga ki roto, ki a ia, ka mea, Tena koe, e te wahine kua manakohia nei; kei a koe te Ariki: ko koe te manaakitia i roto i nga wahine.
29 Otira he nui tona oho ki taua kupu, ka whakaaroaro ki te tikanga o tenei ohatanga.
30 Na ka mea te anahera ki a ia, Kei wehi koe, e Meri; kua paingia hoki koe e te Atua.
31 Nana, tera koe e hapu, ka whanau he tama, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Ihu.
32 Ka nui ia, ka kiia hoki ko te Tama a te Runga Rawa: a ka hoatu ki a ia e te Ariki, e te Atua, te torona o Rawiri, o tona papa.
33 Hei kingi hoki ia mo te whare o Hakopa ake ake; e kore ano e mutu tona rangatiratanga.
34 Na ka mea a Meri ki te anahera, E peheatia tenei, kahore nei hoki ahau e mohio ki te tane?
35 Na ka whakahoki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Ka tae te Wairua Tapu ki runga ki a koe, ka taumarumaru iho te kaha o te Runga Rawa ki runga ki a koe: no reira hoki ka kiia te mea e whanau mai he tapu, ko te Tama a te Atua.
36 Na, ko tou whanaunga, ko Erihapeti, kua hapu hoki ia i tona ruruhitanga, he tama; a koe te ono tenei o nga marama ki a ia, i kiia ra he pakoko.
37 Kahore hoki he kupu i ahu mai i te Atua i kore e whai mana.
38 Ano ra ko Meri, Ina, te pononga a te Ariki; kia peratia ahau me tau i korero ai. A mawehe atu ana te anahera i a ia.
