27 to a virgin having been betrothed to a man, to whom a name Joseph, of house of David; and the name of the virgin, Mary.
28 And coming the messenger to her, said: Hail, having been favored; the Lord with thee. having been blessed thou among women.
29 She but at the word was greatly agitated, and pondered, what could be the salutation this.
30 And said the messenger to her: Not fear, Mary; thou hast found for favor with the God.
31 And lo, thou shalt conceive in womb, and shalt bear a son, and thou shalt call the name of him Jesus.
32 This shall be great, and a son of highest he shall be called; and shall give to him a Lord the God the throne of David the father of him;
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages, and of the kingdom of him not shall be and end.
34 Said but Mary to the messenger: How shall be this, since a man not I know?
35 And answering the messenger said to her: A spirit holy shall come upon thee, and a power of highest shall overshadow thee; therefore and the being begotten holy, shall be called a son of God.
36 And lo, Elisabeth the kinswoman of thee, even she having conceived a son in old age of her; and this month sixth is to her the being called barren.
37 For not shall be impossible with the God every word.
38 Said and Mary: Lo, the handmaid of a Lord; may it be done to me according to the word of thee. And went from her the messenger.
