And he himself will go forth before Him in [the] spirit and power of Elijah to turn [the] hearts of [the] fathers to [the] children and [the] disobedient to [the] wisdom of [the] righteous, to make ready for [the] Lord a people prepared.
18 Zakarassay kiitanchas, tani cima ta machcheyakka cimadus tani hayssa aazan eranee? giidi oychchides.
And said Zechariah to the angel; By what will I know this? I myself for am an old man, and the wife of mine having advanced in the years of her.

Having come out then not he was able to speak to them; and they recognized that a vision he has seen in the temple. And he himself was making signs to them and was remaining mute.
23 Zakarasaykka ba ootho taray polettidappe guyyen ba so simmides.
And it came to pass when were fulfilled the days of the service of him, he departed to the home of him.
