There was in the dayes of Herode kynge of Iurie a certayne prest named Zacharias of ye course of Abia. And his wyfe was of ye doughters of Aaron: And her name was Elizabeth.
6 tasya jāyā dvāvimau nirdoṣau prabhoḥ sarvvājñā vyavasthāśca saṁmanya īśvaradṛṣṭau dhārmmikāvāstām|
Booth were perfect before God and walked in all the lawes and ordinaces of the Lorde that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.
7 tayoḥ santāna ekopi nāsīt, yata ilīśevā bandhyā tau dvāveva vṛddhāvabhavatām|
And they had no chylde because that Elizabeth was barre and booth were well stricken in age.
8 yadā svaparyyānukrameṇa sikhariya īśvāsya samakṣaṁ yājakīyaṁ karmma karoti
And it cam to passe as he executed the prestes office before god as his course came
9 tadā yajñasya dinaparipāyyā parameśvarasya mandire praveśakāle dhūpajvālanaṁ karmma tasya karaṇīyamāsīt|
(accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lot was to bourne incece.

And wet into ye teple of ye Lorde and the whoale multitude of ye people were with out in prayer whill the incense was aburnynge.
11 sati sikhariyo yasyāṁ vedyāṁ dhūpaṁ jvālayati taddakṣiṇapārśve parameśvarasya dūta eka upasthito darśanaṁ dadau|
And ther appered vnto him an angell of the lorde stondinge on the ryght syde of the altare of incense.
12 taṁ dṛṣṭvā sikhariya udvivije śaśaṅke ca|
And when Zacharias sawe him he was abasshed and feare came on him.
13 tadā sa dūtastaṁ babhāṣe he sikhariya mā bhaistava prārthanā grāhyā jātā tava bhāryyā ilīśevā putraṁ prasoṣyate tasya nāma yohan iti kariṣyasi|
And the angell sayde vnto him: feare not Zachary for thy prayer is hearde: And thy wyfe Elizabeth shall beare ye a sonne and thou shalt call his name Iohn
14 kiñca tvaṁ sānandaḥ saharṣaśca bhaviṣyasi tasya janmani bahava ānandiṣyanti ca|

15 yato hetoḥ sa parameśvarasya gocare mahān bhaviṣyati tathā drākṣārasaṁ surāṁ vā kimapi na pāsyati, aparaṁ janmārabhya pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ
For he shalbe greate in the sight of the lorde and shall nether drinke wyne ner stronge drinke. And he shalbe filled with the holy goost even in his mothers wombe:
16 san isrāyelvaṁśīyān anekān prabhoḥ parameśvarasya mārgamāneṣyati|
and many of the chyldren of Israel shall he tourne to their Lorde God.
17 santānān prati pitṛṇāṁ manāṁsi dharmmajñānaṁ pratyanājñāgrāhiṇaśca parāvarttayituṁ, prabhoḥ parameśvarasya sevārtham ekāṁ sajjitajātiṁ vidhātuñca sa eliyarūpātmaśaktiprāptastasyāgre gamiṣyati|
And he shall goo before him in the sprete and power of Helyas to tourne the hertes of the fathers to the chyldren and the vnbelevers to the wysdom of the iuste men: to make the people redy for the Lorde.
18 tadā sikhariyo dūtamavādīt kathametad vetsyāmi? yatohaṁ vṛddho mama bhāryyā ca vṛddhā|
And Zacharias sayde vnto ye angell: Wher by shall I knowe this? seinge that I am olde and my wyfe well stricken in yeares.
19 tato dūtaḥ pratyuvāca paśyeśvarasya sākṣādvarttī jibrāyelnāmā dūtohaṁ tvayā saha kathāṁ gadituṁ tubhyamimāṁ śubhavārttāṁ dātuñca preṣitaḥ|
And the angell answered and sayde vnto him: I am Gabriell that stonde in the presens of God and am sent to speake vnto the: and to shewe the these glad tydinges.
20 kintu madīyaṁ vākyaṁ kāle phaliṣyati tat tvayā na pratītam ataḥ kāraṇād yāvadeva tāni na setsyanti tāvat tvaṁ vaktuṁmaśakto mūko bhava|
And beholde thou shalt be domme and not able to speake vntyll the tyme that these thinges be performed because thou belevedst not my wordes which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
21 tadānīṁ ye ye lokāḥ sikhariyamapaikṣanta te madhyemandiraṁ tasya bahuvilambād āścaryyaṁ menire|
And the people wayted for Zacharias and mervelled that he taryed in the temple.
22 sa bahirāgato yadā kimapi vākyaṁ vaktumaśaktaḥ saṅketaṁ kṛtvā niḥśabdastasyau tadā madhyemandiraṁ kasyacid darśanaṁ tena prāptam iti sarvve bubudhire|
And whe he cam oute he could not speake vnto them. Wherby they perceaved that he had sene some vision in the temple. And he beckened vnto them and remayned speachlesse.
23 anantaraṁ tasya sevanaparyyāye sampūrṇe sati sa nijagehaṁ jagāma|
And it fortuned assone as ye tyme of his office was oute he departed home into his awne housse.
