Ġenesi 3: 9- 15, 20

3:9 And the Lord God called Adam and said to him: “Where are you?”
3:10 U qal, “I heard your voice in Paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and so I hid myself.”
3:11 Qallu, “Then who told you that you were naked, if you have not eaten of the tree from which I instructed you that you should not eat?”
3:12 U Adam qal, “The woman, whom you gave to me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate.”
3:13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “Why have you done this?” And she responded, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
3:14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed among all living things, even the wild beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you travel, and the ground shall you eat, all the days of your life.
3:15 I will put enmities between you and the woman, between your offspring and her offspring. She will crush your head, and you will lie in wait for her heel.”
3:20 And Adam called the name of his wife, ‘Eve,’ because she was the mother of all the living.

Ephesians 1: 3- 6, 11- 12

1:3 Imbierek Alla u Missier Sidna Ġesù Kristu, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, fi Kristu,
1:4 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity.
1:5 He has predestined us to adoption as sons, permezz ta’ Ġesù Kristu, in himself, according to the purpose of his will,
1:6 for the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son.
1:11 Fih, we too are called to our portion, having been predestined in accord with the plan of the One who accomplishes all things by the counsel of his will.
1:12 So may we be, to the praise of his glory, we who have hoped beforehand in Christ.

Luqa 1: 26- 38

1:26 Imbagħad, fis-sitt xahar, l-Anġlu Gabriel kien mibgħut minn Alla, lejn belt tal-Galilija jisimha Nazaret,
1:27 lil verġni għarusa ma’ raġel li kien jismu Ġużeppi, tad-dar ta’ David; u l-isem tal-verġni kien Marija.
1:28 U malli tidħol, qalilha l-Anġlu: “Silġ, mimli grazzja. Il-Mulej miegħek. Imbierka int fost in-nisa.”
1:29 U meta kienet semgħet dan, kienet imfixkla minn kliemu, u qieset x’tip ta’ tislima jista’ jkun.
1:30 U l-Anġlu qalilha: "Tibżax, Marija, għax int sibt grazzja ma’ Alla.
1:31 Ara, inti għandek tnissil fil-ġuf tiegħek, u għandek iben, u ssejjaħ ismu: ĠESÙ.
1:32 Hu se jkun kbir, u jissejjaħ Bin l-Iktar Għoli, u l-Mulej Alla jagħtih it-tron ta’ David missieru. U jsaltan f’dar Ġakobb għall-eternità.
1:33 U s-saltna tiegħu ma tintemmx.”
1:34 Imbagħad Marija qalet lill-Anġlu, “Kif għandu jsir dan, peress li ma nafx bniedem?”
1:35 U bi tweġiba, qalilha l-Anġlu: “L-Ispirtu s-Santu jgħaddi minn fuqkom, u l-qawwa ta’ l-Iktar Għoli tiddik. U minħabba dan ukoll, il-Qaddis li jitwieled minnek għandu jissejjaħ Bin Alla.
1:36 U ara, kuġinek Eliżabetta hi stess ikkonċepita iben ukoll, fix-xjuħija tagħha. U dan huwa s-sitt xahar għal dik li tissejjaħ għerja.
1:37 Għax ebda kelma ma tkun impossibbli għal Alla.”
1:38 Imbagħad qalet Marija: “Ara, Jiena l-qaddejja tal-Mulej. Ħa jsir miegħi skond kelmtek.” U l-Anġlu telaq minnha.
