1 Njengoba abanengi sebebeke izandla ukubeka ngendlela efaneleyo ukulandiswa kwezinto eziqiniseke ngokupheleleyo phakathi kwethu,
Nungsijaraba Theophilus: Eikhoigi irakta thunghanbikhraba thoudoksing adugi paodam adubu inanaba mioi kaya amana kanna hotnakhi.
2 njengalokhu basinika labo ababonayo ngamehlo ekuqaleni njalo bezinceku zelizwi,

Aduga, he ikai khumnaraba Theophilus, pumnamaksing adu eihakna ahoubadagi houna changkhonna thijillaba maramna, thoudoksing adu mathang manao naina nahakki naphamda iba phagani haina eihaknasu ningle.
4 ukuze wazi iqiniso ngalezozinto ozifundisiweyo.
Nangonda tambikhraba pumnamaksing adugi mapungphaba achumba adu nahakna khangnanaba eina masi naphamda ibani.
5 Ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi yeJudiya kwakukhona umpristi othile othiwa nguZakariya, oweqembu likaAbhiya; lomkakhe wayevela kumadodakazi kaAroni, lebizo lakhe linguElizabethi.
Herod-na Judea leibakki ningthou oina pallingei matamda, Abijah-gi purohit kanglupta Zechariah kouba purohit ama leirammmi. Mahakki nupigi maming Elijabeth kou-i; aduga Elizabeth-su purohit Aaron-gi charon suron oirammi.
6 Njalo babelungile bobabili phambi kukaNkulunkulu, behamba ngayo yonke imilayo lezimiso zeNkosi, bengasoleki.
Makhoi animakna Mapu Ibungogi yathangsing amadi pathap pumnamaksing mapungphana ngakchaduna Tengban Mapugi mityengda chumna chatchaba punsi mahing amada hinglammi.
7 Njalo babengelamntwana, ngoba uElizabethi wayeyinyumba, basebeleminyaka eminengi bobabili.
Adubu makhoi macha amata leiramde maramdi Elizabeth chaboktabi oirammi aduga makhoi animak ahalsu yamna oirammi.
8 Kwasekusithi esenza inkonzo yobupristi phambi kukaNkulunkulu esesimisweni seqembu lakibo,
Nongmagi numitta Zechariah-gi purohit kangbuna thougal toubagi palli taraduna mahakna Mapugi Sanglenda purohit ama oina Tengban Mapugi thougal tourammi.
9 ngomkhuba wenkonzo yobupristi, nguye owadliwa yinkatho yokutshisa impepha esengene ethempelini leNkosi.
Aduga latnapungda mengkruk thanaba purohitsinggi chatnabi matung inna changyengnabada mangonda tare. Maram aduna mahakna Mapu Ibungogi sanglen manungda changle.
10 Njalo ixuku lonke labantu lalikhuleka ngaphandle ngesikhathi sokutshisa impepha.
Amasung mengkruk chukhatpagi pungpham aduda tilliba miyam aduna mapanda haija nijaduna leirammi.
11 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasibonakala kuye, imi ngakwesokunene selathi lempepha.
Adudagi Mapu Ibungogi dut amana mengkruk thariba iratpung adugi yet thangbada leptuna mangonda uhanbirammi.
12 Kwathi uZakariya eyibona waqhuqha, lokwesaba kwawela phezu kwakhe.
Zechariah-na mahakpu ubada masada thukatpa amadi akiba phaorammi.
13 Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye: Ungesabi Zakariya; ngoba umkhuleko wakho uzwakele, lomkakho uElizabethi uzakuzalela indodana, njalo uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJohane.
Adubu swarga dut aduna mangonda hairak-i, “Kiganu, Zechariah! Nahakna haijaba adu Tengban Mapuna tabire. Nahakki nupi Elizabeth-na nachanupa ama poklagani aduga nahakna mahakki maming John haina thongadabani.
14 Futhi uzakuba lenjabulo lentokozo, labanengi bazakujabulela ukuzalwa kwakhe.
Mahak pokpa matamda nahakna kayada haraoba amadi nungaiba oigadaba! Amasung mi kayana kayada harao nungaiba oigadaba!
15 Ngoba uzakuba mkhulu phambi kweNkosi, iwayini kanye lokunathwayo okulamandla kasoze akunathe, futhi uzagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kusukela esesesiswini sikanina.
Maramdi Mapu Ibungogi mityengda mahak matik chaogani. Mahakna yu amadi mayai kaba mahi amata thakloi, aduga mama puknungdagi houna mahak Thawai Asengbana than-gani.
16 Labanengi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uzabaphendulela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo;
Amasung mahakna Israel macha kayabu makhoigi Tengban Mapu, Mapu Ibungoda hallak-han-gani.
17 njalo yena uzahamba phambi kwayo emoyeni lemandleni kaElija, ukuphendulela inhliziyo zaboyise kubantwana, labangalaleliyo ekuhlakanipheni kwabalungileyo, ukulungiselela iNkosi isizwe esilungisiweyo.
Mahakna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou Elijah-gi machat amadi matikka loinana Ibungogi mang thana chatkani. Mahakna misingbu Ibungona lenglakkadaba adugidamak thourang langhannaba mapasingbu machasingga amuk yasinnahangani amasung haiba indabasingbu achumba chatpasinggi lousing aduda hongdokpigani.”
18 UZakariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Ngizakwazi ngani lokhu? Ngoba mina ngilixhegu, lomkami useleminyaka eminengi.
Adudagi Zechariah-na dut aduda hairak-i, “Masi soidana thokkani haibasi eihakna kamdouna khanggadage? Eidi ahal oiraba mini aduga eigi nupisu ahal oire.”
19 Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: NginguGabriyeli mina, omayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; njalo ngithunyiwe ukukhuluma lawe, lokukubikela lezizindaba ezinhle.
Maduda dut aduna khumlak-i, “Ei Grabriel-ni. Nangonda wa hainanaba amasung aphaba pao asibu tamnanaba eibu thabirakpa Tengban Mapugi mangda eina lepli.
20 Njalo khangela, uzakuba yisimungulu njalo wehluleke ukukhuluma, kuze kube lusuku okuzakwenzeka ngalo lezizinto, ngenxa yokuthi ungakholwanga amazwi ami, azagcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo.
Adubu achaba matamda soidanamak thoklagadaba eigi wasing asi nahakna thajade. Aduga nahakna thajadabagi maramna eina nangonda haikhibasing asi thoktriba numit adu phaoba nahak wa ngangba thokloi aduga wa amata ngangdana tumminna leigani.”
21 Labantu babemlindele uZakariya; bamangala ngokuphuza kwakhe ethempelini.
Cheirak aduda mising aduna Zechariah-bu mapanda ngaiduna leirammi amasung mahakna karigi Mapugi Sanglen manungda matam asuk kuina leiribano haina makhoi ngaklammi.
22 Kuthe esephuma wehluleka ukukhuluma labo; njalo bazi ukuthi ubone umbono ethempelini; njalo yena wayesebaqhweba, wahlala eyisimungulu.
Amasung mahakna mapanda thorakpa matamda, mahakna makhoida wa ngangba ngamkhide. Aduga mahakna Mapugi Sanglen manungda uhanbiba ama ukhre haiba makhoina khanglammi, maramdi mahakna makhoida ingit touduna nganglammi adubu wa ngangbadi adumak ngamkhide.
23 Kwasekusithi seziphelile insuku zokukhonza kwakhe, waya endlini yakhe.
Aduga Mapugi Sanglenda mahakki thougal toubagi numitsing adu loirabada Zachariah mayumda amuk halaklammi.
24 Kwathi emva kwalezonsuku uElizabethi umkakhe wathatha isisu, wazifihla okwezinyanga ezinhlanu, esithi:
Matam kharagi matungda Elizabeth mironlaklammi aduga mahakna tha manga yumdagi mapan thoklamde.
25 Yenze kanje kimi iNkosi ensukwini eyangikhangela ngazo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.
Mahakna haikhi, “Houjik mameithangda Mapu Ibungona eibu pangbire. Miyam mangda eina ikaiba nanglamba adu Ibungona louthokpire!”
26 Kwathi ngenyanga yesithupha ingilosi uGabriyeli yathunywa nguNkulunkulu emzini weGalili othiwa yiNazaretha,
Elizabeth-na mironba tha taruk surakpada Tengban Mapuna swargadut Grabriel-bu Nazareth kouba Galilee-gi khungangda tharakle.
27 entombini eyayigane indoda, ebizo layo lalinguJosefa, eyendlu kaDavida; lebizo lentombi linguMariya.
Mahakna Mary haina koubi, David ningthougi chada-naoda oiriba Joseph kouba nupa amada luhongnaba waroinakhrabi leisabi asengbi amagi pao puduna laklammi.
28 Ingilosi yasingena kuye yathi: Ekuhle, wena othandiweyo! INkosi ilawe, ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana.
Aduga dut aduna mangonda laktuna hairak-i, “Khurumjari, thoujal phanglabi! Mapu Ibungona nahakpu loinabiri; nupisinggi maraktagi nahakti yaipahabini.”
29 Kwathi eseyibonile wethuswa kakhulu yilizwi layo, wanakana ukuthi yikubingelela okunjani lokhu.
Maryna dut adugi wahei aduda yamna cha-ngaknarammi amasung mahakki waheising aduna kari phongdoklibano haiduna khallammi.
30 Ingilosi yasisithi kuye: Ungesabi, Mariya; ngoba uthole uthando kuNkulunkulu.
Maduda dut aduna hairak-i, “Kiganu Mary, Tengban Mapudagi nahakna thoujal phangjare.
31 Njalo khangela, uzathatha isisu, uzale indodana, uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJesu.
Nahakna mironduna nacha nupa ama pokkani aduga nahakna mahakki maming Jisu thongadabani.
32 Yena uzakuba mkhulu, uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke; futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu izamnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavida,
Mahak matik chaogani aduga Wangthoiraba Mapu Ibungogi machanupa kougani. Mapu Ibungo Tengban Mapuna mangonda mapa David-ki phambal adu pibigani,
33 njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube nininini, langombuso wakhe kawuzukuba lokuphela. (aiōn g165)
Aduga mahakna Jacob-ki chada-naodasinggi ningthou oina matam pumbagi oina pan-gani, amadi mahakki leibak adu lomba nairoi.” (aiōn g165)
34 UMariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Lokhu kungenzeka njani, njengoba ngingazi indoda?
Adudagi Mary-na dut aduda hairak-i, “Eihakti luhongdribi leisabini, adu oirabadi masi kamdouna oithokkadouribano?”
35 Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, lamandla oPhezukonke azakwembesa; ngakho lalokhu okungcwele okuzazalwa nguwe kuzakuthiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Dut aduna khumlak-i, “Thawai Asengbana nahakki nathakta lengthabirakkani aduga Wangthoiraba Ibungo adugi panggalna nahakpu lumsinbigani. Maram asina pokkadouriba asengba angang adubu Tengban Mapugi Machanupa kougani.
36 Njalo khangela, isinini sakho uElizabethi, laye ukhulelwe yindodana ebudaleni bakhe; lale yinyanga yesithupha kuye obekuthiwa uyinyumba.
Yengu, nahakki mari mata Elizabeth-su ahal oiraklaba matamsida macha ama phangjagadoure, chaboktabi hainarambi mahakna houjikti tha tarukki angang naopure.
37 Ngoba kuNkulunkulu kakulalutho oluzakwehlula.
Maramdi Tengban Mapugi maphamda oithoktaba kari amata leite.”
38 UMariya wasesithi: Khangela, incekukazi yeNkosi; kakube kimi njengelizwi lakho. Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
Maduda Mary-na hairak-i, “Eihak Mapu Ibungogi manainupini; nahakna haikhibagum masi eingongda thokpa oirasanu.” Adudagi dut adu mahakpu thadoktuna chatkhre.
39 Ngalezonsuku uMariya wasesukuma waya ezintabeni ngokuphangisa, emzini weJuda,
Madugi matung ikui kuidana Mary-na thourang touraduna chinggi lamdamda leiba, Judea-gi apikpa sahar amada thuna chatlammi.
40 wangena endlini kaZakariya, wabingelela uElizabethi.
Amasung mahakna Zechariah-gi yumda changduna Elizabeth-pu khurumjarammi.
41 Kwasekusithi uElizabethi ezwe ukubingelela kukaMariya, inkonyane yeqa esiswini sakhe; loElizabethi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele,
Aduga Mary-na khurumjabagi khonjel adu Elizabeth-na tabada mahakki pibuknungda angang aduna chonglammi. Amasung Elizabeth Thawai Asengbana thallammi.
42 wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana, njalo sibusisiwe isithelo sesizalo sakho!
Aduga mahakna khonjel wangna hairak-i, “Nupilaktagi nahakti khwaidagi henna yaiphabini, amasung nahakna naopugadouriba angang adu yaiphabani!
43 Kanti kuvela ngaphi lokhu kimi, ukuthi unina weNkosi yami eze kimi?
Eigi Ibungogi imana eigi inakta lengbiraktuna eibu asuk ekai khumnabiriba asi karamnano?
44 Ngoba khangela, kuthe ilizwi lokubingelela kwakho lifika endlebeni zami, umntwana weqa esiswini sami ngokuthokoza.
Maramdi nahakna khurumjabagi khonjel adu eina hek tabaga eigi pibuknunggi angang asina haraoduna chongkhatli.
45 Futhi ubusisiwe okholiweyo, ngoba kuzagcwaliseka lezozinto ezakhulunywa kuye yiNkosi.
Mapu Ibungona mahakki maphamda haikhrabasing adu thunghanbigani haina thajaribi mahak adu yaiphabini!”
46 UMariya wasesithi: Umphefumulo wami uyayikhulisa iNkosi,
Maduda Maryna hairak-i, “Eigi thawaina Mapu Ibungobu thagatchei,
47 lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,
Eigi thawaina eigi Kanbiba Mapu, Tengban Mapuda haraojei,
48 ngoba ukhangele ubuphansi bencekukazi yakhe. Ngoba khangela, kusukela khathesi zonke izizukulwana zizakuthi ngibusisiwe.
Maramdi mahakna tollabi manainupi eihakpu ningsingbire! Houjiktagi houduna miron khudingna kougani eibu yaiphabi;
49 Ngoba yena olamandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu, lingcwele lebizo lakhe,
Maramdi toubire Pangallaba mahakna, eigidamak achouba thabak kaya. Ibungo mahakki minglendi asengbani;
50 lesihawu sakhe sikusizukulwana ngesizukulwana kulabo abamesabayo.
Mahakpu kina chatchabasingda, utpi mahakna chanbiba; miron miron khudingda.
51 Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe; uhlakazile abazigqajayo ekunakaneni kwenhliziyo zabo.
Toubire mahakki pambomna, matik leiba thabak kaya; aduga chaikhaire mahakna, mathamoida napal touba misingbu.
52 Wehlisile iziphathamandla ezihlalweni zobukhosi, kodwa uphakamisile abantukazana.
Chingthakhi mahakna matik leiba ningthousingbu makhoigi ningthou phambaldagi, aduga thanggatpikhi mahakna nollukpasingbu.
53 Abalambileyo ubasuthise ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa abanothileyo wabamukisa beze.
Thalhanbikhi mahakna aram-khourangbasingbu aphabana, adubu thakhi inakhunbasingbu khut hangna.
54 Umsizile uIsrayeli inceku yakhe, ngokukhumbula isihawu,
Ngakkhi mahakna sakkhiba washaktu, eikhoigi ipa-ipusingda, aduga lakkhi pangbinaba mahakki manai Israel-bu.
Ningsingbikhi mahakna, matam pumnamakta chanbiba utpigani haibadu, Abraham amadi mahakki charon suronsingda!” (aiōn g165)
56 UMariya wasehlala laye okungaba zinyanga ezintathu, wasebuyela endlini yakhe.
Adudagi Mary-na tha ahummuk Elizabeth-ka leiminnaramlaga mayumda hankhirammi.
57 Isikhathi sikaElizabethi sokuthi abelethe sesiphelele, wasebeletha indodana.
Elizabeth-ki angang unabagi matam oiraklabada, mahakna machanupa ama pokkhi.
58 Abakhelene laye lezinini zakhe basebesizwa ukuthi iNkosi yenze isihawu sayo saba sikhulu kuye, basebethokoza laye.
Aduga mahakki keirol-leikaisingna amadi mari-matasingna Mapu Ibungona mahakpu kayada chanbibage haibadu tare amasung makhoi pumnamakna mahakka loinana haraominare.
59 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili, beza ukuzasoka usane; balubiza ngebizo likayise ngokuthi nguZakariya.
Angang aduna numit nipanni subada makhoina mahakpu un kakpa lakle, amasung makhoina angang adubu mapagi maming louduna Zechariah thonnaba tourammi.
60 Kodwa unina waphendula wathi: Hatshi bo, kodwa luzathiwa nguJohane.
Adubu Elizabeth-na makhoida haikhi, “Natte, mahakki maming John haina thongadabani.”
61 Basebesithi kuye: Kakho ezihlotsheni zakho obizwa ngalelibizo.
Maduda makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nakhoigi sagei natei marakta ming adu kouba mi amatasu yaode.”
62 Basebeqhweba uyise, ukuthi angathanda ukuthi lubizwe ngokuthini.
Adudagi makhoina angang adugi mapa Zechariah-da ingit touduna, mahakna angang adugi maming kari thonba pambage haiduna hanglammi.
63 Wasecela into yokubhalela, wabhala, esithi: NguJohane ibizo lalo; basebemangala bonke.
Maduda mahakna mangonda inanaba korbak ama pinaba hairammi, aduga maduda mahakna “Mahakki maming John kou-i” haina ire. Maduda makhoi pumnamak pumngak ngakle.
64 Njalo wahle wavulwa umlomo wakhe lolimi lwakhe lwatshwaphululwa, wasekhuluma edumisa uNkulunkulu.
Khudak adumaktada Zechariah amuk hanna wa ngangba ngamle aduga mahakna Tengban Mapubu thagatchaba houre.
65 Lokwesaba kwehlela phezu kwabo bonke abakhelene labo; njalo kwakhulunywa ngazo zonke lezizinto kulo lonke elezintabeni zeJudiya,
Aduga thokkhibasing asina maram oiduna mahakki keirol-leikai pumnamak akibana thallammi, amasung thoudok pumnamak asigi paona Judah-gi chinggi lamdam adu sinba thungna sandokkhirammi.
66 labo bonke abazizwayo bazilondoloza ezinhliziyweni zabo, besithi: Kambe lolusane luzakuba njani? Njalo isandla seNkosi sasilalo.
Amasung pao adu taba mi khudingmakna, madugi maramda wakhal touraduna hanglak-i, “Angang asina kari oirakkadaba?” Maramdi Mapu Ibungogi pangalna mahakki mathakta lei haiba makhoina khanglammi.
67 LoZakariya uyise wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele, waprofetha, esithi:
Amasung John-gi mapa Zechariah Thawai Asengbana thallammi aduga mahakna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdoktuna hairak-i:
68 Ibusisiwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngoba ihambele yasenzela inkululeko isizwe sayo,

Punsi chuppa eikhoina Mahakki mangda asengba amadi achumba chatpa oinaba.
76 Lawe-ke, sane, uzabizwa ngokuthi ungumprofethi woPhezukonke; ngoba uzahamba phambi kobuso beNkosi ukulungisa izindlela zayo;
Aduga, eigi ichanupa, nahakpu wangthoiraba Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou haina kougani; Ibungogi lambi thourang tounaba, Chatkani nahakna Ibungogi mang thaduna.
77 lokunika isizwe sayo ulwazi losindiso ngothethelelo lwezono zabo,

80 Wakhula-ke umntwana omncane, waqina emoyeni, waba sezinkangala kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubonakala kwakhe kuIsrayeli.
Adudagi angang adu hakchang amadi thawaida chaokhatlaklammi. Aduga mahakna masabu Israel-gi miyamda phongdoktringeigi matam adu phaoba lamjao lamhangda leirammi.
