39. αναστασα δε μαριαμ εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις επορευθη εις την ορεινην μετα σπουδης εις πολιν ιουδα And Mary arose in those days and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,

40. και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον ζαχαριου και ησπασατο την ελισαβετ and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

41. και εγενετο ως ηκουσεν η ελισαβετ τον ασπασμον της μαριας εσκιρτησεν το βρεφος εν τη κοιλια αυτης και επλησθη πνευματος αγιου η ελισαβετ And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

42. και ανεφωνησεν φωνη[1] μεγαλη και ειπεν ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν και ευλογημενος ο καρπος της κοιλιας σου And she called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

43. και ποθεν μοι τουτο ινα ελθη η μητηρ του κυριου μου προς με[2] And from where is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44. ιδου γαρ ως εγενετο η φωνη του ασπασμου σου εις τα ωτα μου εσκιρτησεν εν αγαλλιασει το βρεφος εν τη κοιλια μου For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!

45. και μακαρια η πιστευσασα οτι εσται τελειωσις τοις λελαλημενοις αυτη παρα κυριου And blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
