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.

46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

47 And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,

48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,

49 For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,

50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,

52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,

53 The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,

54 He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,

55 As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed -- to the age.
