Kwaivapo nemazuva aHerodhe mambo weJudhiya umwe mupristi wainzi Zakaria, weboka raAbhiya; nemukadzi wake waibva kuvanasikana vaAroni, nezita rake riri Erizabheti.
6 Na woseri wawili waweriti wantu wa matendu gaherepa kulongolu kwa Mlungu, walikala pawagajimira malagaliru goseri ga Mtuwa.

8 Lishaka limu Zakariya kaweriti kankutenda lihengu lyakuwi lya utambika Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, toziya shiweriti shipindi shakuwi sha kutambika.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti wakati achiita ushumiri hweupristi pamberi paMwari, pachidanho cheboka rake,
9 Kulawirana na vitiba vya watambika, Zakariya kasyagulitwi kwa kugalambuziya simbi kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu su katumiziyi ubani.

10 Shipindi Zakariya pakaweriti kankutumiziya ubani, lipinga lya wantu waweriti walivaga pamuhera kunja wankumluwa Mlungu.
Zvino chaunga chese chevanhu chakange chichinyengetera kunze nenguva yezvipfungaidzo zvinonhuhwira.
11 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamlawiriti Zakariya, kagolokiti uwega wa kumliwu pashitalawanda sha kutambikira ubani.
Zvino kwakaonekwa kwaari mutumwa waIshe, amire kurutivi rwerudyi rwearitari yezvipfungaidzo zvinonhuhwira.
12 Zakariya pakamwoniti, kalilimuka, kaweriti na lyoga.
Zvino Zakaria wakati achimuona akanetseka, kutya kukamuwira.
13 Kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti, “Nagutira Zakariya! Mlungu kapikanira kala kuluwa kwaku. Mdala gwaku Elizabeti hakakuleleri mwana mpalu. Na mwana ayu litawu lyakuwi gumshemi Yohani.
Asi mutumwa wakati kwaari: Usatya Zakaria; nokuti munyengetero wako wanzwikwa, nemukadzi wako Erizabheti achakuberekera mwanakomana, ugotumidza zita rake Johwani.
14 Yomberi hakaweri nemeru na nemeleru kwaku, wantu wavuwa hawaweri na nemeleru kwa kwiwuka kwakuwi.
Uye uchava nemufaro nekupembera, nevazhinji vachafarira kuberekwa kwake.
15 Yomberi hakaweri mkulu pamasu pa Mtuwa, hakalandi ndiri divayi ama ujimbi, yomberi hakamemi Rohu Mnanagala kwanjira mumtima mwa mawu gwakuwi.
Nokuti achava mukuru pamberi paIshe, haangatongonwi waini kana zvinodhaka; uye achazadzwa neMweya Mutsvene kunyange kubva padumbu ramai vake.
16 Hakawatendi wantu wavuwa wa Israeli wamuwuyiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwawu.
Nevazhinji vevana vaIsraeri achatendeusira kuna Ishe Mwari wavo;
17 Yomberi hakamlongoleri Mtuwa, hakaweri na makakala pamuhera na uwezu ntambu yakaweriti Eliya mbuyi gwa Mlungu. Hakawajegi kayi pamuhera wana na watati, hakawawuziyi wantu yawamjimira ndiri Mlungu kuwera na maholu ga wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na kumtandira Mtuwa wantu yawasyagulitwi.”
uye iye achafamba pamberi pake mumweya nesimba raEria, kutendeusira moyo yemadzibaba kuvana, nevasingateereri kuuchenjeri hwevakarurama, kugadzirira Ishe vanhu vakagadzirwa.
18 Zakariya kamkosiya ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Hanuvimani hashi shisoweru ashi? Toziya neni pamuhera na mdala gwangu twawagogolu.”
Zakaria akati kumutumwa: Izvozvi ndichazviziva nei? Nokuti ini ndava mukweguru, nemukadzi wangu waenda pamazuva ake.
19 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwankula, “Neni Gaburieli yangoloka kulongolu kwa Mlungu, ndo kantuma ntakuli na gwenga na kukugambira shisoweru ashi shiwagira.
Mutumwa achipindura akati kwaari: Ini ndini Gabhirieri, anomira pamberi paMwari; ndatumwa kuti nditaure kwauri, ndikuparidzire mashoko awa akanaka.
20 Vinu guloli! Toziya gujimira ndiri shisoweru shangu, ashi hashitendeki kwa shipindi shakuwi, vinu haguweri bubu, haguwezi ndiri kutakula mpaka lishaka lilii pashilawira shisoweru ashi.”
Zvino tarira, uchava chimumumu, usingagoni kutaura, kusvikira zuva rinoitika zvinhu izvi, nokuti hauna kutenda mashoko angu, achazadziswa nenguva yawo.
21 Lipinga lya wantu liweriti lyankumuhepera Zakariya na walikangasha kwa kukawa kwakuwi mulii Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
Vanhu vakange vakamirira Zakaria, vakashamisika nekunonoka kwake mutembere.
22 Pakalawiti kasinditi kutakula nawomberi, nayomberi kendereyiti kuwalanguziya kwa mawoku hera, nawomberi wavimaniti kuwera kawoniti shintu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
Zvino wakati abuda, akakonewa kutaura kwavari; vakaziva kuti akange aona chiratidzo mutembere; iye akavaninira nemaoko, akaramba ari chimumumu.
23 Pashiperiti kala shipindi shakuwi sha kutenda lihengu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kagenditi ukaya kwakuwi.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti mazuva okushumira kwake akati achangopera, akaenda kumba kwake.
24 Pa mashaka galii mdala gwakuwi Elizabeti kawera na yinda, kalikaliti mnumba kwa myezi muhanu,
Zvino shure kwemazuva iwayo, mukadzi wake Erizabheti akatora mimba, akazvivanza mwedzi mishanu, achiti:
25 kalitakuliti, “Vinu Mtuwa kamonera lusungu kwa kumusilira soni zyangu kulongolu kwa wantu.”
Ishe wandiitira saizvozvi nemazuva aakanditarira, kuti abvise ruzvidzo rwangu pakati pevanhu.
26 Yinda ya Elizabeti pasokiti myezi sita, Mlungu kamtumiti Gaburieli ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kagendi mpaka Galilaya, lushi lwa Nazareti.
Zvino nemwedzi wechitanhatu mutumwa Gabhirieri wakatumwa naMwari kuguta reGarirea rinonzi Nazareta,
27 Kaweriti na shisoweru kwa muhinga bikira yakahetitwi na muntu yawamshema Yosefu, gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi, litawu lyakuwi ayu bikira ndo Mariya.
kumhandara, yakange yatsidza kuwanikwa nemurume zita rake raiva Josefa, weimba yaDhavhidhi; uye zita remhandara riri Maria.
28 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwiziriti Mariya na kumulamusiya, “Gwakashina? Ponga iweri pamuhera na gwenga! Mtuwa kapamuhera na gwenga, kakupanana upendelewu.”
Mutumwa akapinda kwaari akati: Hekanhi, iwe une nyasha! Ishe anewe, wakaropafadzwa iwe pakati pevakadzi.
29 Mariya kalisheliti nentu, toziya ya shisoweru sha ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, kaliholiti mumoyu pakalikosiya, “Kulamusiya aku kwana mana gaa?”
Iye wakati achimuona akanetseka neshoko rake, akafunganya kuti uku kukwazisa rudzii kwakadai.
30 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti Mariya, “Nagutira Mariya, Mlungu kakupapanana manemu.
Zvino mutumwa akati kwaari: Usatya Maria; nokuti wawana nyasha kuna Mwari.
31 Guloli, haguweri na yinda na kwiwula mwana mpalu na litawu lyakuwi hagumshemi Yesu.
Zvino tarira, uchava nemimba, ugozvara mwanakomana, uchatumidza zita rake kuti Jesu.
32 Ayu hakaweri mkulu, hawamshemi mwana gwa Mlungu na Mtuwa Mlungu hakampanani shibanta sha ufalumi sha Dawudi mbuyi gwakuwi.
Iye achava mukuru, achanzi Mwanakomana weWekumusoro-soro; Ishe Mwari achapa kwaari chigaro cheushe chababa vake Dhavhidhi.
33 Hakakolimlima lukolu lwa Yakobu mashaka goseri na ufalumi wakuwi hapeni uweri na upeleru.” (aiōn g165)
Achatonga pamusoro peimba yaJakobho kusvikira narinhi, neushe hwake hahungavi nemugumo. (aiōn g165)
34 Mariya kamgambiriti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Neni haneliwoni na mpalu! Hashiweri ashi shisoweru ashi?”
Maria ndokuti kumutumwa: Izvi zvingava sei, nokuti handizivi murume?
35 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamuwankula, “Rohu Mnanagala hakizi kwaku na makakala ga Mlungu hagakwizili. Toziya ayi mwana hakiwukili hakaweri mnanagala, hakashemwi Mwana gwa Mlungu.
Mutumwa akapindura akati kwaari: Mweya Mutsvene uchauya pamusoro pako, nesimba reWekumusoro-soro richakudzikatira; naizvozvo icho chitsvene chichaberekwa newe chichanzi Mwanakomana waMwari.
36 Gumuholi mlongu gwaku Elizabeti, yomberi yawamshemiti mpendi kumbiti hakaleri mwana mpalu muugogolu wakuwi na mwezi agu ndo mwezi gwa sita kwa yinda yakuwi.
Uye tarira, Erizabheti hama yako, iyewo wava nemimba yemwanakomana pakuchembera kwake; nemwedzi uno wava wechitanhatu kuna iye wainzi mhanje.
37 Toziya kwahera shintu shashikamala kwa Mlungu.”
Nokuti naMwari hakuna chinhu chisingazogoneki.
38 Mariya katakula, “Neni na ntumintumi gwa Mtuwa! Iweri kwa neni ntambu ya gulongiti.” Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kawukiti na kugenda zakuwi.
Maria ndokuti: Tarirai, murandakadzi waIshe; ngazvive kwandiri seshoko renyu. Mutumwa ndokubva kwaari.
39 Mashaka galii Mariya kawukiti kagenditi mpaka isi ya mulugongu lwa Yudeya.
Zvino Maria akasimuka nemazuva iwayo akaenda kunyika yezvikomo nekukurumidza, kuguta raJudha;
40 Aku kingiriti mnumba mwa Zakariya na kamlamsiyiti Elizabeti.
akapinda mumba maZakaria, akakwazisa Erizabheti.
41 Elizabeti pakapikaniriti ntambu Mariya yakamlamsiyiti, nonu kadunkula mumtima mwakuwi. Elizabeti kamemiti Rohu Mnanagala,
Zvino zvakaitika kuti Erizabheti wakati achinzwa kukwazisa kwaMaria, mwana akatamba mudumbu rake; naErizabheti akazadzwa neMweya Mutsvene,
42 Elizabeti kalonga, “Gutekelerwa gwenga pakati pa wadala woseri na katekelerwi mwana hakiwukili mumtima mwaku.
akadanidzira nenzwi guru, akati: Wakaropafadzwa iwe pakati pevakadzi, uye chakaropafadzwa chibereko chedumbu rako!
43 Neni na gaa ata mawu gwa Mtuwa gwangu kanizili neni?
Ko zvandibvira nepi, kuti mai vaIshe wangu vauye kwandiri?
44 Nakugambira, palaa pampikaniriti ntambu yagunamusiyiti, nonu kadunkula kwa kunemelera mumtima mwangu.
Nokuti tarira, inzwi rekukwazisa kwako rangoti richisvika munzeve dzangu, mwana watamba mudumbu rangu nemufaro.
45 Mbaka gwenga toziya gujimira kuwera havitendeki vitwatira vyakakugambiriti Mtuwa.”
Uye wakaropafadzwa anotenda, nokuti zvakataurwa naIshe kwaari zvichazadziswa.
46 Mariya kalonga, “Moyu gwangu gumkwisa Mtuwa,
Maria akati: Moyo wangu unokudza Ishe,
47 Na rohu yangu yankunemelera, Toziya Mlungu ndo Mlopoziya gwangu.
nemweya wangu unofara muna Mwari Muponesi wangu;
48 Toziya kamonera lusungu neni ntumintumi gwakuwi. Kwanjira vinu wantu woseri hawalongi Mlungu kantekelera,

49 Toziya ya shintu shikulu shakantendera Mlungu. Litawu lyakuwi linanagala.
Nokuti ane masimba wakandiitira zvinhu zvikuru; nezita rake idzvene.
50 Kawalanguziya lusungu lwakuwi Kwa walii yawampanana ligoya kwa shiyiwuku na shiyiwuku.
Netsitsi dzake dziri kuna avo vanomutya kubva kumazera kusvika kumazera.
51 Katenda vitwatira vikulu kwa liwoku lyakuwi, Kawapalasiya yawawera na msindu pamuhera na mipangu ya myoyu yawu.
Wakaita zvine simba neruoko rwake; wakaparadzira vanozvikudza mundangariro dzemoyo yavo.
52 Kawasulusiya yawawera na likakala mu ukolamlima wawu, Na kawakweniziya wananagala.
Wakaburusa vane masimba pazvigaro zvoushe, akasimudza vakaderera.
53 Yawawera na njala kawayikutiziya vintu viherepa, Na walunda kawawusiya mawoku hera.
Vane nzara wakavagutsa nezvinhu zvakanaka, asi vafumi wakavaendesa vasina chinhu.
54 Katenda shakatakuliti kwa wambuyi wetu wagona, Kiza kumtanga Israeli ntumintumi gwakuwi.
Wakabatsira Israeri muranda wake kuti arangarire tsitsi,
sezvaakataura kumadzibaba edu, kuna Abhurahama nekumbeu yake kusvikira rinhi narinhi. (aiōn g165)
56 Mariya kalikaliti pamuhera na Elizabeti kwa shipindi sha myezi mitatu, shakapanu kawuyiti ukaya kwakuwi.
Maria akagara naye mwedzi inenge mitatu, akadzokera kumba kwake.
57 Shipindi sha Elizabeti kwiwura shisokiti, kiwuliti mwana mpalu.
Zvino nguva yaErizabheti yekusununguka kwake yakazara; akabereka mwanakomana.
58 Wantu wapakwegera wakuwi na walongu wakuwi pawapikaniriti visoweru viherepa vya kulikangasha Mtuwa vyakavitenditi kwa Elizabeti, womberi wanemeleriti pamuhera na yomberi.
Zvino vavakidzani nehama dzake vakati vanzwa kuti Ishe wakange amuitira tsitsi dzake huru, vakafara naye.
59 Palipititi lijuwa limu, womberi wiziti kumwingiziya jandu mwana, wafira kumpanana litawu lya tati gwakuwi, Zakariya.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti nezuva rerusere vakauya kuzodzingisa mucheche, vakamutumidza maererano nezita rababa vake Zakaria.
60 Kumbiti mawu gwakuwi kalonga, “Hangu ndiri! Litawu lyakuwi hawamshemi Yohani.”
Asi mai vake vakapindura vakati: Kwete, asi achanzi Johwani.
61 Wamgambira, “Kwehera muntu muwalongu waku yawamshema litawu ali!”
Vakati kwaari: Hakuna munhu kuhama dzako anodaidzwa nezita iri.
62 Wamlanguziyiti langaliru tati gwakuwi, wavimana ntambu hakamshemi.
Vakataura nemaoko kuna baba vake, kuti vanoda kuti anzi ani.
63 Zakariya kaluwiti shibawu na kalemba hangu, “Litawu lyakuwi ndo Yohani.” Kila muntu kalikangasha.
Vakakumbira chinyorero, vakanyora vachiti: NdiJohwani zita rake; vakashamisika vese.
64 Pala palii Zakariya kanjiti kayi kutakula, kanjiti kumkwisa Mlungu.
Muromo wake ukazarurwa pakarepo, nerurimi rwake rukasununguka, akataura, achirumbidza Mwari.
65 Lyoga lyayingiriti woseri yawalikaliti pakwegera nayomberi na visoweru avi vyoseri vyeniyiti muisi yoseri ya mulugongu mwa Yudeya.
Kutya kukawira vese vaigara vakavakomba; nemashoko awa ese akataurwa kunyika yese yezvikomo yeJudhiya.

Zvino vese vakanzwa, vakazviisa mumoyo mavo, vachiti: Mucheche uyu achazova ani? Uye ruoko rwaIshe rwakava naye.
67 Zakariya, tati gwa Yohani kamemiziwiti Rohu Mnanagala, katungiti shisoweru shiwagira sha Mlungu.
Zvino Zakaria baba vake vakazadzwa neMweya Mutsvene, vakaporofita, vachiti:
