Luka 1:39-45

Ngalezo zinsuku uMariya wasuka waya ngokushesha ezintabeni, emzini wakwaJuda; Wangena endlini kaZakariya, wabingelela u-Elisabethe. Kwathi u-Elisabethe ezwa ukubingelela kukaMariya, umntwana waxhuma esizalweni sakhe; u-Elisabethe wagcwala uMoya oNgcwele; Wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazane, futhi sibusisiwe isithelo sesisu sakho. Kuzuzeni lokhu ukuba unina weNkosi yami eze kimi na? Ngokuba bheka, kuthe izwi lokubingelela kwakho lizwakala ezindlebeni zami, umntwana waxhuma esizalweni sami ngokujabula. Ubusisiwe owakholwayo, ngokuba kuyakuba khona ukugcwaliseka kwalokho akutshelwa yiNkosi.
