First Letter to Corinthians 15: 20-27

15:20 But now Christ has risen again from the dead, as the first-fruits of those who sleep.

15:21 Għal ċertament, death came through a man. U għalhekk, the resurrection of the dead came through a man

15:22 And just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be brought to life,

15:23 but each one in his proper order: Kristu, as the first-fruits, and next, those who are of Christ, who have believed in his advent.

15:24 Afterwards is the end, when he will have handed over the kingdom to God the Father, when he will have emptied all principality, and authority, and power.

15:25 For it is necessary for him to reign, until he has set all his enemies under his feet.

15:26 Lastly, the enemy called death shall be destroyed. For he has subjected all things under his feet. And although he says,

15:27 “All things have been subjected to him,” without doubt he does not include the One who has subjected all things to him.

Evanġelju

Luqa 1: 39-56

1:39 U f’dawk il-jiem, Marija, jqum, ivvjaġġa malajr fil-pajjiż tal-għoljiet, lejn belt taʼ Ġuda.

1:40 U daħlet fid-dar taʼ Żakkarija, u sellmet lil Eliżabetta.

1:41 U ġara hekk, kif Eliżabetta semgħet it-tislima ta’ Marija, it-tarbija qabżet f’ġufha, u Eliżabetta kienet mimlija bl-Ispirtu s-Santu.

1:42 U għajjat ​​b’leħen qawwi u qalet: “Imbierka int fost in-nisa, u mbierek il-frott tal-ġuf tiegħek.

1:43 U dan kif jikkonċernani, biex omm Sidti tiġi għandi?

1:44 Għax ara, kif il-leħen tat-tislima tiegħek ġie f’widnejja, it-tarbija f’ġuf qabeż bil-ferħ.

1:45 U mbierka int li emmint, għax dak li qalilkom mill-Mulej jitwettaq.”

1:46 U qalet Marija: “Ruħi tkabbar lill-Mulej.

1:47 U l-ispirtu tiegħi jaqbeż bil-ferħ f’Alla s-Salvatur tiegħi.

1:48 Għax ħares bil-ħeġġa lejn l-umiltà tal-qaddejja tiegħu. Għax ara, minn dan iż-żmien, il-ġenerazzjonijiet kollha għandhom isejħuli mbierka.

1:49 Għax min hu kbir għamel ħwejjeġ kbar għalija, u qaddis ismu.

1:50 U l-ħniena tiegħu hija minn ġenerazzjoni għal oħra għal dawk li jibżgħu minnu.

1:51 Huwa wettaq għemejjel qawwija bid-driegħ tiegħu. Huwa xerred lill-arroganti fl-intenzjonijiet ta’ qalbhom.

1:52 Huwa neħħa lill-qawwi mis-siġġu tagħhom, u għolla lill-umli.

1:53 Hu mela l-ġuħ b’affarijiet tajbin, u l-għonja bagħat vojta.

1:54 Huwa ħa l-qaddej tiegħu Israel, moħħu fil-ħniena tiegħu,

1:55 bħalma kellem lil missirijietna: lil Abraham u lil nislu għal dejjem.”

1:56 Imbagħad Marija baqgħet magħha għal madwar tliet xhur. U reġgħet lura lejn darha stess.
