26 Ngenyanga yesithupha yokuzithwala kuka-Elizabethi, uNkulunkulu wathuma ingilosi uGabhuriyeli eNazaretha, idolobho elaliseGalile, 27 ukuya entombini egcweleyo eyayithembise ukutshada lendoda eyayithiwa nguJosefa, owesizukulwane sikaDavida. Ibizo lentombi egcweleyo le kwakunguMariya. 28 Ingilosi yaya kuye yathi, "Sabona wena othole umusa kakhulukazi INkosi ilawe."

29 Amazwi ayo amhlupha kakhulu uMariya wamangala ukuthi kanti kwakuyikubingelela bani lokhu. 30 Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye, "Ungesabi Mariya, uthole umusa kuNkulunkulu. 31 Uzakhulelwa ubelethe indodana, uyethe ibizo uthi nguJesu. 32 Uzaba ngumuntu omkhulu abizwe ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke. INkosi uNkulunkulu izamupha isihlalo sikayise uDavida, 33 njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakhobe laphakade; umbuso wakhe kawuyikuphela."

34 UMariya wayibuza ingilosi wathi, "Lokho kuzakwenzakala njani njengoba mina ngimsulwa ngingayazi indoda?"

35 Ingilosi yaphendula yathi, "UMoya oNgcwele uzakwehlela phezu kwakho, lamandla akhe oPhezukonke azakusibekela. Ngakho ongcwele ozazalwa uzathiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu. 36 Lo-Elizabethi isihlobo sakho uzakuba lomntwana ekuluphaleni kwakhe, yena okwakuthiwa yinyumba usesenyangeni yakhe yesithupha. 37 Ngoba kakukho okwehlulayo kuNkulunkulu."

38 UMariya waphendula wathi, "Ngiyincekukazi yeNkosi. Kakwenzeke kimi njengoba utshilo." Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
