2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1
What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty."
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE Chapter 1:39-56
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." And Mary said,
"My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;
for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,
He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree;
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.
He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,
as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever."
And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.
Ալէլուք - Դու յարուցեալ գթասցիս ի վերայ Սիոնի, ժամանակ գթալոյ նորա հասեալ է ժամ։
Յիսուս Քրիստոսի Աւետարանէն Ըստ Ղուկասի
Գլուխ 1։39-56
Մարիամ Եղիսաբէթի կ՚այցելէ
Նոյն օրերուն, Մարիամ ճամբայ ելլելով՝ աճապարանքով գնաց Յուդայի լեռնային շրջանի քաղաքներէն մէկը։ Զաքարիայի տունը մտնելով՝ Եղիսաբէթի ողջոյն տուաւ։ Երբ Եղիսաբէթ Մարիամի ողջոյնը լսեց, իր որովայնին մէջ երեխան շարժեցաւ, եւ Եղիսաբէթ Սուրբ Հոգիով ներշնչուած՝ բարձրաձայն ըսաւ.
-Կիներու մէջ օրհնեա՜լ է զաւակը որ կը կրես որովայնիդ մէջ։ Ի՜նչ երջանկութւն, որ Տիրոջս մայրը ինծի կ՚այցելէ. որովհետեւ երբ ողջոյնդ լսեցի, երեխաս ուրախութեամբ շարժեցաւ որովայնիս մէջ։ Երանի՜ քեզի որ հաւատացիր, որովհետեւ Աստուծոյ կողմէ քեզի ըսուածները պիտի կատարուին։
Մարիամըսաւ. �Տէրըպիտիգովաբանեմ.
Ահահոգիսկ՚ուրախանայ
Աստուծմով, իմՓրկիչովս, որովհետեւանտեսաւ
իրաղախինինհեզութիւնը։
Ասկէ ետք բոլոր սերունդները
Երանի պիտի տան ինծի, քանի հզօրն Աստուած ինծի համար
Մեծամեծ գործեր կատարեց, սուրբ է անունը անոր։
Բոլոր ժամանակներուն մէջ ողորմութեամբ ան կը նայի
աստուածավախ մարդոց վրայ։
Իր բազուկով ան զօրութիւն ցոյց տուաւ, ոչնչացուց հպարտները՝
Իրենց բոլոր խորհուրդներով։
Գահազրկեց արքաները եւ բարձրացուց խոնարհները։
Անօթիները բարիքներով լիացուց,
Մինչ հարուստները դատարկաձեռն արձակեց։
Պաշտպան եղաւ իր ծառային՝ Իսրայէլի,
Հաւատարիմ մնալով իր ողորմութեան,
Ինչպէս որ խոստացած էր մեր հայրերուն՝
Աբրահամի եւ անոր զաւակներուն�։
Մարիամ Եղիսաբէթի մօտ շուրջ երեք ամիս մնալէ ետք վարադարձաւ իր տունը։
