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."

46 En Maria het gesê: My siel maak die Here groot,

47 en my gees is verheug in God, my Saligmaker;

48 omdat Hy die nederige toestand van sy diensmaagd aangesien het; want kyk, van nou af sal al die geslagte my salig noem.

49 Want Hy wat magtig is, het groot dinge aan my gedoen, en heilig is sy Naam.

50 En sy barmhartigheid is van geslag tot geslag vir die wat Hom vrees.

51 Hy het deur sy arm kragtige dade gedoen. Hoogmoediges in die gedagtes van hulle hart het Hy verstrooi.

52 Maghebbers het Hy van trone afgeruk en nederiges verhoog.

53 Hongeriges het Hy met goeie dinge vervul en rykes met leë hande weggestuur.

54 Hy het sy kneg Israel bygestaan, sodat Hy aan sy barmhartigheid sou dink

55 soos Hy tot ons vaders gespreek het -- aan Abraham en sy nageslag tot in ewigheid.
