The First Book of Samuel 1: 24-28

1:24 E despois de que o destetara, ela trouxoo con ela, xunto con tres becerros, e tres medidas de fariña, e unha pequena botella de viño, e levouno á casa do Señor en Xilo. Pero o neno aínda era un neno pequeno.

1:25 E inmolaron un becerro, e presentáronlle o neno a Elí.

1:26 E dixo Hannah: "Prégoche, meu señor, como vive a túa alma, meu señor: Eu son esa muller, quen estivo diante de ti aquí, rezando ao Señor.

1:27 Recei por este neno, e o Señor concedeume a miña petición, que lle pedín.

1:28 Por isto, Eu tamén llo prestei ao Señor, para todos os días en que lle será prestado ao Señor”. E adoraron ao Señor naquel lugar. E Hannah rezou, e dixo ela:

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Luke 1: 46-56

1:46	And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord.
1:47	And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Saviour.
1:48	For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. Pois velaquí, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed.
1:49	For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
1:50	And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him.
1:51	He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart.
1:52	He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.
1:53	He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
1:54	He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy,
1:55	just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
1:56	Then Mary stayed with her for about three months. And she returned to her own house.
