5 Ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi yeJudiya kwakukhona umpristi othile othiwa nguZakariya, oweqembu likaAbhiya; lomkakhe wayevela kumadodakazi kaAroni, lebizo lakhe linguElizabethi.
Aru Herod pora Judea laga raja thaka somoite Abijah laga dol pora Zachariah naam laga ekjon purohit thakise. Tai laga maiki to Aaron laga khandan pora asele aru tai laga naam Elizabeth asele.
6 Njalo babelungile bobabili phambi kukaNkulunkulu, behamba ngayo yonke imilayo lezimiso zeNkosi, bengasoleki.
Aru tai duijon Isor usorte bisi bhal thakise, aru Probhu pora ki koi sob kotha to sapha pora mani thake.
7 Njalo babengelamntwana, ngoba uElizabethi wayeyinyumba, basebeleminyaka eminengi bobabili.
Aru taikhan bacha thaka nai, kelemane Elizabeth to bacha pabole napara maiki thakise, aru tai duijon laga umor bhi bisi hoi jaise.
8 Kwasekusithi esenza inkonzo yobupristi phambi kukaNkulunkulu esesimisweni seqembu lakibo,
Etiya eneka hoise, jitia Zechariah tai Isor usorte tai laga purohit kaam khan kori asele, juntu kaan khan tai laga dol khan pora kore.
9 ngomkhuba wenkonzo yobupristi, nguye owadliwa yinkatho yokutshisa impepha esengene ethempelini leNkosi.
Titia, purohit laga niyom hisab te, taike Isor laga pobitro ghor bhitor te jai kene dhup aru dhona julabole chithi pora basi se.
10 Njalo ixuku lonke labantu lalikhuleka ngaphandle ngesikhathi sokutshisa impepha.
Jitia dhona juli jaise etu homoi te sob manu khan bahar te prathana kori thakise.
11 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasibonakala kuye, imi ngakwesokunene selathi lempepha.
Titia Probhu laga sorgodoth tai usorte ahise, aru jun jagate dhona julai se etu laga dyna phale khara korise.
12 Kwathi uZakariya eyibona waqhuqha, lokwesaba kwawela phezu kwakhe.
Jitia Zechariah etu dikhise tai bisi chinta hoise aru tai uporte bisi bhoi ahi jaise.
13 Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye: Ungesabi Zakariya; ngoba umkhuleko wakho uzwakele, lomkakho uElizabethi uzakuzalela indodana, njalo uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJohane.
Hoilebi, sorgodoth koise, “Bhoi na koribi Zechariah, tumi laga prathana huni loise. Tumi laga maiki Elizabeth pora ekjon chokra pabo. Aru tumi tai laga naam John rakhibo.
14 Futhi uzakuba lenjabulo lentokozo, labanengi bazakujabulela ukuzalwa kwakhe.
Aru tumikhan anond aru bhal lagibo, aru bisi manu khan tai laga jonom te khushi koribo.
15 Ngoba uzakuba mkhulu phambi kweNkosi, iwayini kanye lokunathwayo okulamandla kasoze akunathe, futhi uzagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kusukela esesesiswini sikanina.
Aru tai Probhu usorte bisi dangor hobo. Tai kitia bhi draikha-ros nakhabole lage, tai ama laga peth te thaka homoi pora he Pobitro Atma pora bhorta hoi jabo.
16 Labanengi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uzabaphendulela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo;
Aru tai Israel laga bacha khan ke Probhu Isor logote wapas anibo.
17 njalo yena uzahamba phambi kwayo emoyeni lemandleni kaElija, ukuphendulela inhliziyo zaboyise kubantwana, labangalaleliyo ekuhlakanipheni kwabalungileyo, ukulungiselela iNkosi isizwe esilungisiweyo.
Elijah laga atma aru takot pora Probhu laga kaam te tai he age kori kene loijabo. Aru jun dharmikta laga kotha namani kene ase taikhan laga mon ghurai dibo nimite aru baba khan laga mon taikhan laga bacha khan phale ghurai dibole, aru jun Probhu ahibole ase Tai nimite rasta taiyar kori bole.”
18 UZakariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Ngizakwazi ngani lokhu? Ngoba mina ngilixhegu, lomkami useleminyaka eminengi.
Zechariah pora sorgodoth ke koise, “Moi etu hobo koi kene kineka janibo? Kelemane moi bura hoise aru moi laga maiki bhi umor bisi hoise.”
19 Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: NginguGabriyeli mina, omayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; njalo ngithunyiwe ukukhuluma lawe, lokukubikela lezizindaba ezinhle.
Aru sorgodoth taike jawab dikene koise, “Moi Gabriel ase, jun Isor usorte khara kore. Amike tumi logote kotha kobole pathaise, aru etu bhal khobor to tumike kobole nimite.
20 Njalo khangela, uzakuba yisimungulu njalo wehluleke ukukhuluma, kuze kube lusuku okuzakwenzeka ngalo lezizinto, ngenxa yokuthi ungakholwanga amazwi ami, azagcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo.
Aru etu nimite, sob kaam to nohua tak tumi chup thakibo aru kotha ulabo na paribo, kelemane tumi moi laga kotha biswas kora nai, etu sob to tai laga thik homoi te pura hobo.”
21 Labantu babemlindele uZakariya; bamangala ngokuphuza kwakhe ethempelini.
Aru manu khan Zechariah nimite rukhi thakisele, aru taikhan chinta-bhabona korise jitia tai mondoli ghor bhithor te deri korise.
22 Kuthe esephuma wehluleka ukukhuluma labo; njalo bazi ukuthi ubone umbono ethempelini; njalo yena wayesebaqhweba, wahlala eyisimungulu.
Kintu jitia tai bahar te ulai ahise tai kotha kobole para nai, titia taikhan bhabise taike Isor pora kiba ekta dikhaise; aru tai manu khan ke ishara pora dikhai di thakise, aru kotha koribo naparikena he thaki jaise.
23 Kwasekusithi seziphelile insuku zokukhonza kwakhe, waya endlini yakhe.
Aru etu sob to tai laga sewa kora homoi pura aru khotom hoise, titia tai ghor te jai jaise.
24 Kwathi emva kwalezonsuku uElizabethi umkakhe wathatha isisu, wazifihla okwezinyanga ezinhlanu, esithi:
Aru etu din piche, tai laga maiki Elizabeth bacha bukhi se, aru pans mohina tak tai nije ke lukai kene rakhise, aru koi thakise,
25 Yenze kanje kimi iNkosi ensukwini eyangikhangela ngazo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.
“Isor ami uporte eneka korise, aru ami uporte Probhu he daya korise, manu usorte sorom nathakibo nimite.”
26 Kwathi ngenyanga yesithupha ingilosi uGabriyeli yathunywa nguNkulunkulu emzini weGalili othiwa yiNazaretha,
Aru Elizabeth peth te bacha bukha choi mohina huwa homoi te, Isor pora sorgodoth Gabriel ke Galilee, juntu ke Nazareth mate, etu jagate pathaise,
27 entombini eyayigane indoda, ebizo layo lalinguJosefa, eyendlu kaDavida; lebizo lentombi linguMariya.
ekjon kumari mahila logote, jun Joseph koi kene ekjon manu logot shadi kori bole laga kotha milikena asele, aru jun David ghor manu asele; aru etu kumari laga naam Mary asele.
28 Ingilosi yasingena kuye yathi: Ekuhle, wena othandiweyo! INkosi ilawe, ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana.
Aru tai logote ahikena, sorgodoth koise, “Salam tumike, jun uporte Isor laga morom ahise! Probhu tumi logote ase.”
29 Kwathi eseyibonile wethuswa kakhulu yilizwi layo, wanakana ukuthi yikubingelela okunjani lokhu.
Aru tai etu kotha khan huni kene chinta hoise aru tai bhabi thakise etu kineka laga salam ase.
30 Ingilosi yasisithi kuye: Ungesabi, Mariya; ngoba uthole uthando kuNkulunkulu.
Aru sorgodoth taike koise, “Bhoi na koribi, Mary, tumi to Isor usorte morom paise.
31 Njalo khangela, uzathatha isisu, uzale indodana, uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJesu.
Aru tumi ekjon chokra bukhi bo, aru Tai laga naam ‘Jisu’ rakhibo.
32 Yena uzakuba mkhulu, uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke; futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu izamnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavida,
Tai bisi mohan hobo aru Taike Sobse Mohan laga Putro eneka matibo. Aru Probhu Isor taike, tai laga purbo David laga singhason dibo.
33 njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube nininini, langombuso wakhe kawuzukuba lokuphela. (aiōn g165)
Aru Tai hodai nimite Jacob laga ghor cholai thakibo, aru Tai laga rajyo kitia bhi khotom nahobo.” (aiōn g165)
34 UMariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Lokhu kungenzeka njani, njengoba ngingazi indoda?
Aru Mary pora sorgodoth logote koise, “Etu kineka hobo, kelemane moi kun manu ke bhi najane?”
35 Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, lamandla oPhezukonke azakwembesa; ngakho lalokhu okungcwele okuzazalwa nguwe kuzakuthiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Aru sorgodoth he taike koise, “Pobitro Atma tumi logote ahibo, aru Sobse Mohan takot pora tumike bondh kori dibo. Etu nimite juntu pobitro bacha jonom hobole ase, Taike Isor laga Putro matibo.
36 Njalo khangela, isinini sakho uElizabethi, laye ukhulelwe yindodana ebudaleni bakhe; lale yinyanga yesithupha kuye obekuthiwa uyinyumba.
Aru sabi tumi laga ghor manu Elizabeth bhi tai laga buri umorte chokra pabole ase. Aru tai bacha bukha choi mohina chuli asele, tai junke dusra khan pora bacha bukhibo napara mahila koi thakisele.
37 Ngoba kuNkulunkulu kakulalutho oluzakwehlula.
Kelemane Isor nimite eku napara nai.”
38 UMariya wasesithi: Khangela, incekukazi yeNkosi; kakube kimi njengelizwi lakho. Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
Aru Mary koise, “Sabi moi Probhu laga ekjon mahila noukar ase. Apuni ki koi ase etu nisena hobole dibi.” Titia sorgodoth jai jaise.
39 Ngalezonsuku uMariya wasesukuma waya ezintabeni ngokuphangisa, emzini weJuda,
Etu huwa pichete, Mary tara-tari kori kene pahar desh te jaise, Judah laga sheher ekta te.
40 wangena endlini kaZakariya, wabingelela uElizabethi.
Aru Zechariah aru Elizabeth laga ghor te ghusi kene salam dise.
41 Kwasekusithi uElizabethi ezwe ukubingelela kukaMariya, inkonyane yeqa esiswini sakhe; loElizabethi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele,
Aru eneka hoise jitia Mary pora Elizabeth ke salam dise, tai laga pet bhitor te bacha thaka to khushi pora hili se, aru Elizabeth to Pobitro Atma pora bhorta hoise.
42 wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana, njalo sibusisiwe isithelo sesizalo sakho!
Aru tai khushi pora hala kori kene koise; “Sob maiki bhitor te tumi ekjon asirbad thaka ase, aru jun he apuni laga bhitor te ase etu bhi asirbad ase.
43 Kanti kuvela ngaphi lokhu kimi, ukuthi unina weNkosi yami eze kimi?
Aru etu moi logote kineka hoise, moi laga Probhu laga ama moi logote ahise.
44 Ngoba khangela, kuthe ilizwi lokubingelela kwakho lifika endlebeni zami, umntwana weqa esiswini sami ngokuthokoza.
Aru sabi, apuni laga salam jitia moi kan pora hunise, moi laga bhitor te bacha thaka to khushi pora hili se.
45 Futhi ubusisiwe okholiweyo, ngoba kuzagcwaliseka lezozinto ezakhulunywa kuye yiNkosi.
Aru etu manu asirbad ase jun to kotha khan purah hobo koi kene biswas korise, juntu kotha to Probhu pora taike koise.”
46 UMariya wasesithi: Umphefumulo wami uyayikhulisa iNkosi,
Titia Mary koise, “Moi laga jibon Probhu ke mohima kore,
47 lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,
Aru moi laga Atma khushi kori ase jun Isor he moi laga Tran-korta ase.
48 ngoba ukhangele ubuphansi bencekukazi yakhe. Ngoba khangela, kusukela khathesi zonke izizukulwana zizakuthi ngibusisiwe.
Aru Tai upor pora, sobse mamuli maiki ekjon, tai laga noukar ke saise. Aru sabi, etiya pora sob manu khan moike asirbad ase kobo.
49 Ngoba yena olamandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu, lingcwele lebizo lakhe,
Kelemane Mohan Isor pora moi nimite dangor kaam kori dise aru tai laga naam to pobitro ase.
50 lesihawu sakhe sikusizukulwana ngesizukulwana kulabo abamesabayo.
Aru tai laga morom to etiya pora loi kene aha din tak jun manu taike bhoi kore tai logote ase.
51 Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe; uhlakazile abazigqajayo ekunakaneni kwenhliziyo zabo.
Tai laga hath pora bisi dangor kaam korise. Aru jun manu tai laga monte phutani bhabona kore taikhan ke alag kori diye.
52 Wehlisile iziphathamandla ezihlalweni zobukhosi, kodwa uphakamisile abantukazana.
Aru taikhan bohi kene raj kora jaga pora nichete girai dise. Aru jun chutu hoise eitu khan ke uthaise.
53 Abalambileyo ubasuthise ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa abanothileyo wabamukisa beze.
Aru bhuka thaka khan ke bhal saman pora bhorta kori dise, Aru dhun manu khan ke khali kori dise.
54 Umsizile uIsrayeli inceku yakhe, ngokukhumbula isihawu,
Aru tai laga noukar, Israel ke modot korise, tai laga morom to yaad korise,
55 njengoba watsho kubobaba bethu, kuAbrahama, lenzalweni yakhe kuze kube nininini. (aiōn g165)
Aru tai kotha korise moi khan baba laga baba khan ke- Abraham aru tai laga bacha khan logote hodai nimite.” (aiōn g165)
56 UMariya wasehlala laye okungaba zinyanga ezintathu, wasebuyela endlini yakhe.
Aru Mary Elizabeth logote tin mohina tak thakise aru etu pichete tai laga ghor te jai jaise.
57 Isikhathi sikaElizabethi sokuthi abelethe sesiphelele, wasebeletha indodana.
Aru Elizabeth nimite bacha pabole laga homoi ahi jaise aru tai ekjon chokra ke jonom dise.
58 Abakhelene laye lezinini zakhe basebesizwa ukuthi iNkosi yenze isihawu sayo saba sikhulu kuye, basebethokoza laye.
Tai laga ghor manu aru usorte thaka khan Probhu pora kiman dangor aru morom kaam korise etu dikhi kene tai logote khushi korise.
59 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili, beza ukuzasoka usane; balubiza ngebizo likayise ngokuthi nguZakariya.
Aru bacha ath din hoi thaka homoi te taikhan bacha ke sunnot kori bole anise, aru tai laga baba Zechariah laga naam te rakhibole thakise.
60 Kodwa unina waphendula wathi: Hatshi bo, kodwa luzathiwa nguJohane.
Hoilebi tai laga ama pora koise, “Nohoi. Taike John laga naam pora he matibo.”
61 Basebesithi kuye: Kakho ezihlotsheni zakho obizwa ngalelibizo.
Aru taikhan koise, “Apuni laga ghor manu bhitor te kun bhi etu naam thaka manu nai.”
62 Basebeqhweba uyise, ukuthi angathanda ukuthi lubizwe ngokuthini.
Aru taikhan tai laga baba ke hath dikhai kene ki mati bole mon ase etu hudise.
63 Wasecela into yokubhalela, wabhala, esithi: NguJohane ibizo lalo; basebemangala bonke.
Tai laga baba pora likhi bole saman mangise aru likhise, koise, “Tai laga naam to John ase.” Titia taikhan sob asurit hoi jaise.
64 Njalo wahle wavulwa umlomo wakhe lolimi lwakhe lwatshwaphululwa, wasekhuluma edumisa uNkulunkulu.
Aru achanak pora tai laga mukh khuli se aru tai laga jiba to hili se, aru tai Isor ke asirbad dise.
65 Lokwesaba kwehlela phezu kwabo bonke abakhelene labo; njalo kwakhulunywa ngazo zonke lezizinto kulo lonke elezintabeni zeJudiya,
Sob Judea laga jagate etu laga kotha he koi thakise, aru jiman manu taikhan usorte thakise, taikhan sob bhoi hoise.
66 labo bonke abazizwayo bazilondoloza ezinhliziyweni zabo, besithi: Kambe lolusane luzakuba njani? Njalo isandla seNkosi sasilalo.
Jun manu etu kotha khan hunise etu sob taikhan nijor laga monte rakhise, aru koi thakise, “Etu bacha kineka hobo?” Kelemane Isor laga hath tai logote asele.
67 LoZakariya uyise wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele, waprofetha, esithi:
Titia tai laga baba Zechariah ke Pobitro Atma pora bhorta hoise aru tai koise,
68 Ibusisiwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngoba ihambele yasenzela inkululeko isizwe sayo,
“Asirbad hobo Probhu, Israel laga Isor, Kelemane Tai modot kori bole ahise, aru Tai laga manu khan nimite ki bhabise etu purah hoise.
69 yasivusela uphondo losindiso endlini kaDavida inceku yayo,
Aru amikhan nimite Tai laga noukar David laga porial te ekjon mukti laga seing ulai dise,
70 njengalokho yakhuluma ngomlomo wabaprofethi bayo abangcwele kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba, (aiōn g165)
Jineka tai purana homoi te pobitro bhabobadi laga mukh pora koisele. (aiōn g165)
71 isikhulula ezitheni zethu, lesandleni sabo bonke abasizondayo;
Biya pora mukti pabo aru taikhan laga hath pora amikhan ke bachai lobo.
72 ukwenzela obaba bethu isihawu, lokukhumbula isivumelwano sayo esingcwele,
Tai eneka kori kene amikhan baba laga baba khan uporte morom to dikhai dibo. Aru tai laga ki pobitro vachan dise etu yaad koribo.
73 isifungo eyasifunga kubaba wethu uAbrahama,

Aru amikhan ke dushman laga hath pora bachai kene ulai luwa nisena amikhan taike bhoi nakori kene tai laga sewa koribo,
75 ngobungcwele langokulunga phambi kwayo zonke izinsuku zempilo yethu.
Pobitrota te aru sapha pora taike hodai mohima koribo.
76 Lawe-ke, sane, uzabizwa ngokuthi ungumprofethi woPhezukonke; ngoba uzahamba phambi kobuso beNkosi ukulungisa izindlela zayo;
Aru apuni ke, oh bacha, sob pora dangor bhabobadi matibo kelemane apuni Probhu laga age te jabo aru rasta taiyar koribo.
77 lokunika isizwe sayo ulwazi losindiso ngothethelelo lwezono zabo,
Tai laga manu khan ke poritran laga gyaan dibole, taikhan laga paap pora maph pai ja-a dwara.
78 ngesihelo sikaNkulunkulu wethu, okuthi ngaso ukusa kwaphezulu kusethekelele,
Aru etu sob to purah hobo kelemane amikhan laga Isor to morom aru nomro ase. Etu nimite uporte thaka ujala bhi amikhan ke modot kori bole ahibo,

Aru jun andhera te bohi ase aru mora-laga chaya te bohi kene ase taikhan uporte ujala thakibo; amikhan laga theng to shanti laga rasta te bera bole dibo.”
80 Wakhula-ke umntwana omncane, waqina emoyeni, waba sezinkangala kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubonakala kwakhe kuIsrayeli.
Aru bacha to dangor hoise aru atma te takot hoise, aru tai jongol te thakise jitia tak tai nijorke Israel manu usorte ahi dikhai diya nai.
