Luke 1:33-48 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

33. “And He shall reign over the house of Ya‛aqoḇ forever, and there shall be no end to His reign.”

34. And Miryam said to the messenger, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”

35. And the messenger answering, said to her, “The Set-apart Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you. And for that reason the Set-apart One born of you shall be called: Son of Elohim.

36. “And see, Elisheḇa your relative, she has also conceived a son in her old age. And this is now the sixth month to her who was called barren,

37. because with Elohim no matter shall be impossible.”

38. And Miryam said, “See the female servant of יהוה! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the messenger went away from her.

39. And Miryam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Yehuḏah,

40. and entered into the house of Zeḵaryah and greeted Elisheḇa.

41. And it came to be, when Elisheḇa heard the greeting of Miryam, that the baby leaped in her womb. And Elisheḇa was filled with the Set-apart Spirit,

42. and called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

43. “And who am I, that the mother of my Master should come to me?

44. “For look, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

45. “Blessed is she who believed, for that which יהוה has said to her shall be accomplished!”

46. And Miryam said, “My being makes יהוה great,

47. and my spirit has rejoiced in Elohim my Saviour.

48. “Because He looked on the humiliation of His female servant. For look, from now on all generations shall call me blessed.
