12 UZakhariya wathi eyibona wethuka wesaba kakhulu.
uSakalia akoghopa ye alwaghile ulutetemo lulyamughwila.
13 Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye, “Ungesabi, Zakhariya; umkhuleko wakho usuzwakele. Umkakho u-Elizabethi uzakuzalela indodana kufanele uyinike ibizo elithiwa nguJohane.

37 Ngoba kakukho okwehlulayo kuNkulunkulu.”
ulwakuva kwa Nguluve nakwekili kino kimuulemile”
38 UMariya waphendula wathi, “Ngiyincekukazi yeNkosi. Kakwenzeke kimi njengoba utshilo.” Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
uMaliya akajova akati, une nilim'baanda ghwa Mutwa neke luuleke luve luve kulyune ndavule ujovile” pe pano unyaMhola akavuka iluta.
39 Ngalesosikhathi uMariya waphanga wenza amalungiselelo waya edolobheni elizweni lamaqaqa eJudiya,

neke afunyilue umukijuva jula juno alyitike kuuti vulyahumila uvya kyang'haani vwa sino alyavulilue kuhuma kwa Mutwa”.
46 UMariya wathi: “Umphefumulo wami uyayidumisa iNkosi
uMaliya akati, inimbula jango jikunfunya uMutwa,

avabading'ani vake na vanyalukolo vake valyapulike ndavule uMutwa atupelanisie mu vuhugu vwake, kange vakahovoka palikimo nu mwene.
59 Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili beza ukuzasoka umntwana, bafuna ukuthi bamethe ibizo likayise uZakhariya,
lino kilyahumile ikighono kya lekela kwoni valisile kukivungo najumwana lulyanoghile vampele ilitavua lyake ghwe Sakalia kulwiho lwa vise.
60 kodwa unina wala wathi, “Hatshi! Kathiwe nguJohane.”

na voni vano valyaghapulike vakaghagadilila mu mwoojo ghave, vakati umwana uju ghwa ndani ndani?” ulwakuva uluvoko lwa Mutwa lulyale palikimo naghwo.
67 Uyise uZakhariya wagcwala ngoMoya oNgcwele waphrofitha wathi:
ivise ghwa Sakalia akapeluula ingufu nu Mhepo uMwimike akatengula kuhumia uvuvili akatisagha,
68 “Udumo kalube seNkosini, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngoba ubuyile ukuzahlenga abantu bakhe.
aghinwaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwa Isilaeli, ulwakuva atangile kange na kukuvavanga avaanhu vake.
69 Iluphakamisile uphondo lwensindiso yethu endlini yenceku yayo uDavida

71 ukusindiswa ezitheni zethu lesandleni sabo bonke abasizondayo,
alatupoka kuhuma kuvalugu viitu na kuhuma mumavoko ghavaanhu vooni vano vikutukalalila.
72 ukuze atshengise isihawu kubokhokho bethu lokukhumbula isivumelwano sakhe esingcwele,

80 Umntwana wakhula waqina emoyeni; waphila enkangala waze wavela obala ku-Israyeli.
lino umwana jula akakula na kuva nyangufu mwa Mhepo uMwimike. alikalile kulihaka kuhanga unsiki ghuno akavonekagha ku vaSilaeli.
