Kwatsi baseBhetlehema, sase siyefika sikhatsi saMariya sekubeleka.

Bekunebelusi kulelo live lababeluse imihlambi yetimvu ebusuku etsafeni. Ingilosi yeNkhosi yabonakala kubo, nebukhatikhati beNkhosi babakhanyisela, baze besaba kakhulu. Kodvwa ingilosi yatsi kubo: "Ningesabi; ngobe nginiletsele indzaba lemnandzi, yekutfokota lokutawuba kwebantfu bonkhe; ngobe lamuhla nitalelwe emtini waDavide uMsindzisi longuKhristu iNkhosi.

Kwatsi nabambona belusi, babatjela loko lababekuve ngengilosi ngalomntfwana; bonkhe labakuva loko bamangala ngalababekutjelwe belusi. Yena-ke Mariya watikhumbula tonkhe leto tintfo, wazindla ngato enhlitiyweni yakhe. Belusi babuyela emuva badvumisa babonga Nkulunkulu ngako konkhe lababekuvile nalababekubonile; kwakunjengobe ingilosi yayibatjelile.
