Lino mpwalapula pansa nkalikucikonsha kwamba nabo. Nomba nabo balenshiba kwambeti labono cimboni mboni, popelapo walatatika kwamba ne makasa mbuli cibulu, neco walapitilisha kuba cibulu.
23 Zvino zvakaitika kuti mazuva okushumira kwake akati achangopera, akaenda kumba kwake.
Mpwalapwa masuba akusebensa mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, Sakaliya walaya kucomwabo.
24 Zvino shure kwemazuva iwayo, mukadzi wake Erizabheti akatora mimba, akazvivanza mwedzi mishanu, achiti:

Popelapo mungelo walamwambileti, “Kotatina, Maliya; Pakwinga Lesa lakunyumfwili inkumbo.
31 Zvino tarira, uchava nemimba, ugozvara mwanakomana, uchatumidza zita rake kuti Jesu.
Bona nukemite ne kusema mwana mutuloba ukamutumbeti Yesu.
32 Iye achava mukuru, achanzi Mwanakomana weWekumusoro-soro; Ishe Mwari achapa kwaari chigaro cheushe chababa vake Dhavhidhi.
“Nakabe mukulene kayi nakakwiweti mwanendi Lesa wakwilu wapitapo. Mwami Lesa nakamupe cipuna ca bwami ca Dafeti.

36 Uye tarira, Erizabheti hama yako, iyewo wava nemimba yemwanakomana pakuchembera kwake; nemwedzi uno wava wechitanhatu kuna iye wainzi mhanje.
“Bona mukwenu Lisabeti usa walikwambweti nkaseme, lino lapembelenga kuya kuba ne mwana mutuloba mubucembele bwakendi. Pakwinga ukute myenshi isanu ne umo kakute libunda.
37 Nokuti naMwari hakuna chinhu chisingazogoneki.
Pakwinga paliya ceshi cikamwalile Lesa.”
38 Maria ndokuti: Tarirai, murandakadzi waIshe; ngazvive kwandiri seshoko renyu. Mutumwa ndokubva kwaari.
Maliya walakumbuleti, “Kacinshika mbuli momulambili, pakwinga ame ndemusha wa Mwami.” Lino mungelo usa walamushiya.
39 Zvino Maria akasimuka nemazuva iwayo akaenda kunyika yezvikomo nekukurumidza, kuguta raJudha;
Mpopalapita masuba ang'ana, Maliya walanyamuka bulwendo bwakufwambana kuya kumusena wa milundu, kumunshi wa Yudeya.
40 akapinda mumba maZakaria, akakwazisa Erizabheti.
Walengila mung'anda ya Sakaliya nekumupa mutende Lisabeti.
41 Zvino zvakaitika kuti Erizabheti wakati achinzwa kukwazisa kwaMaria, mwana akatamba mudumbu rake; naErizabheti akazadzwa neMweya Mutsvene,
Pacindi Lisabeti mpwalanyumfwa mutende wa Maliya, mwana walatatika kunyanyala mwakukondwa mulibunda mwakendi. Lisabeti walesushiwa ne ngofu sha Mushimu Uswepa,

Ukute colwe pakwinga walashoma kwambeti makani Lesa ayo ngowalambilwa nakubinga nakenshike.”
46 Maria akati: Moyo wangu unokudza Ishe,
Popelapo Maliya walalumbaisha nekwambeti, “Ndalumbu Mwami mumoyo mwakame,

Pakwinga nendi Lesa wangofu shonse lanjinshili bintu binene, lina lyakendi lyaswepa.
50 Netsitsi dzake dziri kuna avo vanomutya kubva kumazera kusvika kumazera.
Kayi inkumbo shakendi shili pali bonse bantu abo bakute kumulemeka kufuma kumusemano kushika kumusemano naumbi.
51 Wakaita zvine simba neruoko rwake; wakaparadzira vanozvikudza mundangariro dzemoyo yavo.
Likasa lyakendi lilenshi bintu binene byangofu byeshi kukankamanisha, lamwaya bantu bakute miyeyo ya kulisumpula.
52 Wakaburusa vane masimba pazvigaro zvoushe, akasimudza vakaderera.
Lafunyu Bami bangofu shinene pabipuna byabo, nekusumpula abo beshi kulicepesha.
53 Vane nzara wakavagutsa nezvinhu zvakanaka, asi vafumi wakavaendesa vasina chinhu.
Lapa bantu bakute nsala bintu bingi kwambeti bekute, Lababweshe babile kwakubula kubapapo kantu kalikonse.
54 Wakabatsira Israeri muranda wake kuti arangarire tsitsi,
