Luke 1:40-54

⁴⁰Zechariah and Elizabeth lived in that town. Mary went to their house, and went in and said, “Hello cousin” to Elizabeth.

⁴¹As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary say those words, she felt her baby jump inside her. And the Holy Spirit came into her,

⁴²and she talked really loud, she said, “God is really good to you, and he is making you happy. He is being more good to you than to any other woman. And he is being really good to your baby, too.

⁴³I’m not important, but you are the mother of my leader, the one from God. It is really good of you to visit me.

⁴⁴You see, as soon as I heard you say ‘hello,’ my baby inside me was so happy he jumped.

⁴⁵Yes, you believed that God will do everything he told you, and that makes you very happy.”

⁴⁶Mary said, “God is really good and really great. I feel that really deep inside myself, and I want to tell it to everybody.

⁴⁷God is the one that saves me, so my spirit is really happy.

⁴⁸God knew that I was not important, but he picked me, and now everyone will say that God has been good to me.

⁴⁹Yes, he is the really strong one, and he did great things for me. God is properly good, better than anyone else.

⁵⁰He is good to the people that respect him, and to their kids, and to their grand-kids, and to all their grand-kids to come.

⁵¹He did great things with his power, to show everyone that he is really strong. Those people that reckoned they were smart and strong, they all got frightened of him, and they ran away.

⁵²He chucked out the big bosses and took their power away. But he got people that were not important, and he made them bosses.

⁵³And he gave hungry people good food, and they ate till they were full. But he didn’t give anything to the rich people. They went away with nothing.

⁵⁴He is sorry for his own people, us Israel mob, and he helps us,
