5 Kwaivapo nemazuva aHerodhe mambo weJudhiya umwe mupristi wainzi Zakaria, weboka raAbhiya; nemukadzi wake waibva kuvanasikana vaAroni, nezita rake riri Erizabheti.
Mʼmasiku a Herode, mfumu ya Yudeya, kunali wansembe dzina lake Zakariya wa gulu la ansembe la Abiya; mkazi wake Elizabeti analinso wa fuko la Aaroni.
6 Uye vari vaviri vakange vakarurama pamberi paMwari, vachifamba nemirairo yese nezviga zvaIshe, vasina chavangapomerwa.

8 Zvino zvakaitika kuti wakati achiita ushumiri hweupristi pamberi paMwari, pachidanho cheboka rake,
Nthawi yogwira ntchito yotumikira ansembe a gulu la Zekariya, Zekariya ankatumikira ngati wansembe pamaso pa Mulungu,
9 maererano netsika yeushumiri hweupristi, wakabatwa nemujenya kuti apise zvipfungaidzo zvinonhuhwira apinda mutembere yaIshe.
Zakariyayo anasankhidwa mwa maere, monga mwa mwambo wa unsembe, kupita mʼNyumba ya Ambuye kukafukiza lubani.
10 Zvino chaunga chese chevanhu chakange chichinyengetera kunze nenguva yezvipfungaidzo zvinonhuhwira.
Ndipo nthawi yofukiza lubani itafika, gulu lonse lopembedza linkapemphera kunja.
11 Zvino kwakaonekwa kwaari mutumwa waIshe, amire kurutivi rwerudyi rwearitari yezvipfungaidzo zvinonhuhwira.
Kenaka mngelo wa Ambuye anaonekera kwa iye, atayimirira ku dzanja lamanja la guwa lofukizira.
12 Zvino Zakaria wakati achimuona akanetseka, kutya kukamuwira.
Zakariya ataona mngeloyo, anadzidzimuka ndipo anagwidwa ndi mantha.
13 Asi mutumwa wakati kwaari: Usatya Zakaria; nokuti munyengetero wako wanzwikwa, nemukadzi wako Erizabheti achakuberekera mwanakomana, ugotumidza zita rake Johwani.
Koma mngeloyo anati kwa iye: “Usachite mantha, Zakariya; pemphero lako lamveka. Mkazi wako Elizabeti adzakuberekera iwe mwana wamwamuna ndipo udzamutche dzina loti Yohane.
14 Uye uchava nemufaro nekupembera, nevazhinji vachafarira kuberekwa kwake.
Ndipo adzakhala chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo kwa iwe, ndipo ambiri adzasangalala chifukwa cha kubadwa kwake,
15 Nokuti achava mukuru pamberi paIshe, haangatongonwi waini kana zvinodhaka; uye achazadzwa neMweya Mutsvene kunyange kubva padumbu ramai vake.
chifukwa adzakhala wamkulu pamaso pa Ambuye. Iye sadzamwa vinyo kapena chakumwa choledzeretsa, ndipo adzazadzidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera kuyambira pa kubadwa.
16 Nevazhinji vevana vaIsraeri achatendeusira kuna Ishe Mwari wavo;
Iye adzabweretsanso Aisraeli ambiri kwa Ambuye Mulungu wawo.
17 uye iye achafamba pamberi pake mumweya nesimba raEria, kutendeusira moyo yemadzibaba kuvana, nevasingateereri kuuchenjeri hwevakarurama, kugadzirira Ishe vanhu vakagadzirwa.
Ndipo iye adzabwera Ambuye asanabwere mu mzimu ndi mphamvu ya Eliya. Adzatembenuzira mitima ya abambo kwa ana awo ndi osamvera ku nzeru ya olungama, kuthandiza anthu kuti akonzekere kubwera kwa Ambuye.”
18 Zakaria akati kumutumwa: Izvozvi ndichazviziva nei? Nokuti ini ndava mukweguru, nemukadzi wangu waenda pamazuva ake.
Zakariya anamufunsa mngeloyo kuti, “Kodi ndingatsimikize bwanji zimenezi? Ine ndine wokalamba ndipo mkazi wanga ali ndi zaka zambiri.”
19 Mutumwa achipindura akati kwaari: Ini ndini Gabhirieri, anomira pamberi paMwari; ndatumwa kuti nditaure kwauri, ndikuparidzire mashoko awa akanaka.
Mngeloyo anayankha kuti, “Ine ndine Gabrieli. Ndimayima pamaso pa Mulungu, ndipo ndatumidwa kwa iwe kudzakuwuza uthenga wabwinowu.
20 Zvino tarira, uchava chimumumu, usingagoni kutaura, kusvikira zuva rinoitika zvinhu izvi, nokuti hauna kutenda mashoko angu, achazadziswa nenguva yawo.
Ndipo kuyambira tsopano sudzatha kuyankhula kufikira izi zitachitika chifukwa sunakhulupirire mawu awa, amene adzakwaniritsidwe pa nthawi yake yoyenera.”
21 Vanhu vakange vakamirira Zakaria, vakashamisika nekunonoka kwake mutembere.
Pa nthawiyi, anthu ankadikira Zakariya ndipo anadabwa chifukwa anatenga nthawi yayitali ali mʼNyumba ya Mulungu.
22 Zvino wakati abuda, akakonewa kutaura kwavari; vakaziva kuti akange aona chiratidzo mutembere; iye akavaninira nemaoko, akaramba ari chimumumu.
Atatuluka sanathe kuyankhulana nawo. Anazindikira kuti anaona masomphenya mʼNyumbamo, chifukwa ankasonyeza zizindikiro kwa iwo koma sankatha kuyankhula.
23 Zvino zvakaitika kuti mazuva okushumira kwake akati achangopera, akaenda kumba kwake.
Nthawi yake yotumikira itatha, anabwerera kwawo.
24 Zvino shure kwemazuva iwayo, mukadzi wake Erizabheti akatora mimba, akazvivanza mwedzi mishanu, achiti:
Zitatha izi, mkazi wake Elizabeti anakhala ndi pakati ndipo anadzibisa kwa miyezi isanu.
25 Ishe wandiitira saizvozvi nemazuva aakanditarira, kuti abvise ruzvidzo rwangu pakati pevanhu.
Iye anati, “Ambuye wandichitira izi, kuti mʼmasiku ano wandionetsera kukoma mtima kwake ndi kuchotsa manyazi anga pakati pa anthu.”
26 Zvino nemwedzi wechitanhatu mutumwa Gabhirieri wakatumwa naMwari kuguta reGarirea rinonzi Nazareta,
Mwezi wachisanu ndi chimodzi, Mulungu anatuma mngelo Gabrieli ku Nazareti, mudzi wa ku Galileya,
27 kumhandara, yakange yatsidza kuwanikwa nemurume zita rake raiva Josefa, weimba yaDhavhidhi; uye zita remhandara riri Maria.
kwa namwali wopalidwa ubwenzi ndi Yosefe, wa fuko la Davide. Dzina la namwaliyo linali Mariya.
28 Mutumwa akapinda kwaari akati: Hekanhi, iwe une nyasha! Ishe anewe, wakaropafadzwa iwe pakati pevakadzi.
Mngeloyo anafika kwa iye nati, “Moni, inu amene Ambuye wakukomerani mtima kwambiri! Ambuye ali ndi inu.”
29 Iye wakati achimuona akanetseka neshoko rake, akafunganya kuti uku kukwazisa rudzii kwakadai.
Mariya anavutika kwambiri ndi mawu awa ndipo anadabwa ndi kulonjera kotere.
30 Zvino mutumwa akati kwaari: Usatya Maria; nokuti wawana nyasha kuna Mwari.
Koma mngeloyo anati kwa iye, “Usachite mantha Mariya, pakuti wapeza chisomo pamaso Mulungu.
31 Zvino tarira, uchava nemimba, ugozvara mwanakomana, uchatumidza zita rake kuti Jesu.
Udzakhala woyembekezera ndipo udzabala mwana wamwamuna ndipo udzamupatse dzina loti Yesu.
32 Iye achava mukuru, achanzi Mwanakomana weWekumusoro-soro; Ishe Mwari achapa kwaari chigaro cheushe chababa vake Dhavhidhi.
Iye adzakhala wamkulu ndipo adzatchedwa Mwana wa Wammwambamwamba. Ambuye Mulungu adzamupatsa Iye mpando waufumu wa abambo ake Davide,
33 Achatonga pamusoro peimba yaJakobho kusvikira narinhi, neushe hwake hahungavi nemugumo. (aiōn g165)
ndipo adzalamulira pa nyumba ya Yakobo ku nthawi zonse; ufumu wake sudzatha.” (aiōn g165)
34 Maria ndokuti kumutumwa: Izvi zvingava sei, nokuti handizivi murume?
Mariya anafunsa mngeloyo kuti, “Izi zingatheke bwanji popeza ine sindidziwa mwamuna?”
35 Mutumwa akapindura akati kwaari: Mweya Mutsvene uchauya pamusoro pako, nesimba reWekumusoro-soro richakudzikatira; naizvozvo icho chitsvene chichaberekwa newe chichanzi Mwanakomana waMwari.
Mngelo anayankha kuti, “Mzimu Woyera adzabwera pa iwe ndipo mphamvu ya Wammwambamwamba idzakuphimba, ndipo Woyerayo amene adzabadwe adzatchedwa Mwana wa Mulungu.
36 Uye tarira, Erizabheti hama yako, iyewo wava nemimba yemwanakomana pakuchembera kwake; nemwedzi uno wava wechitanhatu kuna iye wainzi mhanje.
Ngakhale Elizabeti mʼbale wako adzakhala ndi mwana mu ukalamba wake ndipo iye amene amati ndi wosabereka, uno mwezi wake wachisanu ndi chimodzi.
37 Nokuti naMwari hakuna chinhu chisingazogoneki.
Pakuti palibe chinthu chosatheka ndi Mulungu.”
38 Maria ndokuti: Tarirai, murandakadzi waIshe; ngazvive kwandiri seshoko renyu. Mutumwa ndokubva kwaari.
Mariya anayankha kuti, “Ine ndine mtumiki wa Ambuye. Zikhale kwa ine monga mwanenera.”
39 Zvino Maria akasimuka nemazuva iwayo akaenda kunyika yezvikomo nekukurumidza, kuguta raJudha;
Nthawi imeneyo anakonzeka ndipo anapita mofulumira ku mudzi wa ku mapiri a dziko la Yudeya,
40 akapinda mumba maZakaria, akakwazisa Erizabheti.
kumene anakalowa mʼnyumba ya Zakariya nalonjera Elizabeti.
41 Zvino zvakaitika kuti Erizabheti wakati achinzwa kukwazisa kwaMaria, mwana akatamba mudumbu rake; naErizabheti akazadzwa neMweya Mutsvene,
Elizabeti atamva moni wa Mariya, mwana anatakataka mʼmimba mwake, ndipo Elizabeti anadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera.
42 akadanidzira nenzwi guru, akati: Wakaropafadzwa iwe pakati pevakadzi, uye chakaropafadzwa chibereko chedumbu rako!
Anafuwula ndi mawu akulu kuti, “Ndiwe wodala pakati pa akazi, ndipo ndi wodala mwana amene udzabereke!
43 Ko zvandibvira nepi, kuti mai vaIshe wangu vauye kwandiri?
Koma nʼchifukwa chiyani andikomera mtima kuti amayi a Ambuye anga abwere kwa ine?
44 Nokuti tarira, inzwi rekukwazisa kwako rangoti richisvika munzeve dzangu, mwana watamba mudumbu rangu nemufaro.
Nthawi yomwe ndinamva mawu akulonjera kwanu, mwana anatakataka mʼmimba mwanga chifukwa cha chimwemwe.
45 Uye wakaropafadzwa anotenda, nokuti zvakataurwa naIshe kwaari zvichazadziswa.
Wodala iye amene wakhulupirira kuti chimene Ambuye wanena kwa iye chidzakwaniritsidwa!”
46 Maria akati: Moyo wangu unokudza Ishe,
Ndipo Mariya anati: “Moyo wanga ulemekeza Ambuye.
47 nemweya wangu unofara muna Mwari Muponesi wangu;
Ndipo mzimu wanga ukondwera mwa Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga,
48 nokuti wakatarira kuninipiswa kwemurandakadzi wake; nokuti tarira, kubva zvino mazera ese achati ndakaropafadzwa.
pakuti wakumbukira kudzichepetsa kwa mtumiki wake. Kuyambira tsopano mibado yonse idzanditcha wodala,
49 Nokuti ane masimba wakandiitira zvinhu zvikuru; nezita rake idzvene.
pakuti Wamkuluyo wandichitira ine zinthu zazikulu, dzina lake ndi loyera.
50 Netsitsi dzake dziri kuna avo vanomutya kubva kumazera kusvika kumazera.
Chifundo chake chifikira kwa iwo amene amuopa Iye kufikira mibadomibado.
51 Wakaita zvine simba neruoko rwake; wakaparadzira vanozvikudza mundangariro dzemoyo yavo.
Iye wachita zamphamvu ndi dzanja lake; Iye anabalalitsa iwo amene ali onyada mʼmaganizo awo.
52 Wakaburusa vane masimba pazvigaro zvoushe, akasimudza vakaderera.
Iye anachotsa olamulira pa mipando yawo yaufumu, koma wakweza odzichepetsa.
53 Vane nzara wakavagutsa nezvinhu zvakanaka, asi vafumi wakavaendesa vasina chinhu.
Iye wakhutitsa a njala ndi zinthu zabwino koma anachotsa olemera wopanda kanthu.
54 Wakabatsira Israeri muranda wake kuti arangarire tsitsi,
Iye anathandiza mtumiki wake Israeli, pokumbukira chifundo chake.
55 sezvaakataura kumadzibaba edu, kuna Abhurahama nekumbeu yake kusvikira rinhi narinhi. (aiōn g165)
Kwa Abrahamu ndi zidzukulu zake ku nthawi zonse monga ananena kwa makolo athu.” (aiōn g165)
56 Maria akagara naye mwedzi inenge mitatu, akadzokera kumba kwake.
Mariya anakhala ndi Elizabeti pafupifupi miyezi itatu ndipo kenaka anabwerera kwawo.
57 Zvino nguva yaErizabheti yekusununguka kwake yakazara; akabereka mwanakomana.
Itakwana nthawi yoti Elizabeti abereke, anabereka mwana wamwamuna.
58 Zvino vavakidzani nehama dzake vakati vanzwa kuti Ishe wakange amuitira tsitsi dzake huru, vakafara naye.
Anansi ndi abale ake anamva kuti Ambuye anamuchitira chifundo chachikulu ndipo anakondwera naye pamodzi.
59 Zvino zvakaitika kuti nezuva rerusere vakauya kuzodzingisa mucheche, vakamutumidza maererano nezita rababa vake Zakaria.
Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu anabwera ndi mwana kuti adzachitidwe mdulidwe, ndipo anafuna kumupatsa dzina la abambo ake Zakariya,
60 Asi mai vake vakapindura vakati: Kwete, asi achanzi Johwani.
koma amayi ake anayankhula nati, “Ayi, atchulidwe kuti Yohane.”
61 Vakati kwaari: Hakuna munhu kuhama dzako anodaidzwa nezita iri.
Iwo anati kwa iye, “Palibe mmodzi mwa abale ake amene ali ndi dzina limeneli.”
62 Vakataura nemaoko kuna baba vake, kuti vanoda kuti anzi ani.
Pamenepo anapanga zizindikiro kwa abambo ake kuti adziwe dzina limene akanakonda kumutcha mwanayo.
63 Vakakumbira chinyorero, vakanyora vachiti: NdiJohwani zita rake; vakashamisika vese.
Iye anapempha poti alembepo, ndipo chodabwitsa kwa aliyense analemba kuti, “Dzina lake ndi Yohane.”
64 Muromo wake ukazarurwa pakarepo, nerurimi rwake rukasununguka, akataura, achirumbidza Mwari.
Nthawi yomweyo pakamwa pake panatsekuka ndi lilime lake linamasuka ndipo anayamba kuyankhula, nayamika Mulungu.
65 Kutya kukawira vese vaigara vakavakomba; nemashoko awa ese akataurwa kunyika yese yezvikomo yeJudhiya.
Anansi onse anachita mantha kwambiri, ndipo ku madera onse a kumapiri a Yudeya, anthu anayankhula zinthu zonsezi.
66 Zvino vese vakanzwa, vakazviisa mumoyo mavo, vachiti: Mucheche uyu achazova ani? Uye ruoko rwaIshe rwakava naye.
Aliyense amene anamva izi anadabwa nazo nafunsa kuti, “Kodi mwana uyu adzakhala wotani?” Pakuti dzanja la Ambuye lili pa iye.
67 Zvino Zakaria baba vake vakazadzwa neMweya Mutsvene, vakaporofita, vachiti:
Abambo ake, Zakariya, anadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera ndipo ananenera kuti,
68 Ngaarumbidzwe Ishe Mwari waIsraeri, nokuti wakashanyira nekuita rudzikunuro kuvanhu vake;
“Alemekezeke Ambuye, Mulungu wa Israeli chifukwa wabwera ndi kuwombola anthu ake.
69 akatisimudzira runyanga rweruponeso mumba maDhavhidhi muranda wake;
Iye wakweza nyanga yachipulumutso kwa ife mu nyumba ya mtumiki wake Davide.
(Monga mmene ananenera kudzera mwa aneneri oyera), (aiōn g165)
71 ruponeso pamhandu dzedu, neparuoko rwavese vanotivenga;

72 kuitira madzibaba edu tsitsi, nekurangarira sungano yake tsvene,
kuonetsa chifundo kwa makolo athu ndi kukumbukira pangano lake loyera,
73 mhiko yaakapika kuna Abhurahama baba vedu;
lumbiro limene analumbira kwa kholo lathu Abrahamu:
74 kutipa, kuti tasunungurwa muruoko rwevavengi vedu, timushumire tisingatyi;
kutilanditsa ife mʼdzanja la adani athu, ndi kutipanga ife timutumikire Iye mopanda mantha,

76 Newe mucheche, uchanzi muporofita weWekumusoro-soro, nokuti uchatungamira pamberi pechiso chaIshe, kugadzirira nzira dzake;
“Ndipo iwe mwana wanga udzatchedwa mneneri wa Wammwambamwamba; pakuti udzapita patsogolo pa Ambuye kukonza njira yake,
77 kupa ruzivo rweruponeso kuvanhu vake mukanganwiro yezvivi zvavo;
kupatsa anthu ake chidziwitso cha chipulumutso kudzera mwa chikhululukiro cha machimo awo,
78 netsitsi dzemoyo dzaMwari wedu, mauri mambakwedza anobva kumusoro anotishanyira;

79 kuvhenekera vagere murima nemumvuri worufu, nekururamisa tsoka dzedu munzira yerugare.
kuwalira iwo okhala mu mdima ndi mu mthunzi wa imfa, kutsogolera mapazi athu mu njira yamtendere.”
80 Mucheche akakura, akasimba mumweya, akava mumarenje, kusvikira zuva rekuratidzwa kwake kuna Israeri.
Ndipo mwanayo anakula nakhala wamphamvu mu mzimu; ndipo anakhala ku chipululu mpaka pamene anaonekera poyera mu Israeli.
