¹⁸UZakariya wathi engelosini: “Ngiyakwazi ngani lokhu na? ngokuba mina sengimdala, nomkami usekhulile.

¹⁹Ingelosi yaphendula, yathi kuye: “Mina nginguGabriyeli, omayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ngithunyiwe ukuba ngikhulume kuwe, ngikubikele lezi zindaba ezinhle.

²⁰Bheka, uyakuba yisimungulu, ungakwazi ukukhuluma, kuze kufike usuku okuyakwenzeka ngalo lokho, ngokuba ungakholwanga ngamazwi ami ayakugcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo.

²¹Abantu babemlindile uZakariya, bamangala ngokulibala kwakhe ethempelini.

²³Kwathi seziphelile izinsuku zokukhonza kwakhe, wamuka waya endlini yakhe.

²⁴Emva kwalezo zinsuku u-Elisabethe umkakhe wakhulelwa, wazifihla izinyanga eziyisihlanu, wathi:

²⁵Yenze njalo kimi uJehova ezinsukwini eyangibheka ngazo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.

²⁶Ngenyanga yesithupha ingelosi uGabriyeli yathunywa nguNkulunkulu emzini waseGalile othiwa iNazaretha.

²⁷Entombini eyayimiselwe indoda egama layo linguJosefa wendlu kaDavide; lebizo lentombi nguMariya.

²⁸Ingelosi yangena kuye, yathi: “Sawubona, wena ophiwe umusa, uJehova unawe; ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazane.

²⁹Kwathi eyibona wethuka ngezwi layo, wacabanga ukuthi kungaba kubingelela bani lokhu.

³⁰Ingelosi yathi kuye: “Ungesabi, Mariya, ngokuba ufumene umusa kuNkulunkulu.

³¹Bheka, uzakukhulelwa, uzale indodana, uyiqambe igama lokuthi uJesu.

³²Yena uyakuba mkhulu, ibizwe ngokuthi iNdodana yoPhezukonke, futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu iyakumnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavide.

³³Uyakubusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube phakade; nombuso wakhe awuyikuba nakuphela.

³⁴UMariya wayesethi engelosini: “Lokhu kuyakwenzeka kanjani, lokhu ngingayazi indoda na?

³⁵Ingelosi yaphendula, yathi kuye: “UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, namandla oPhezukonke akusibekele;

³⁶Bheka, u-Elisabethe umzala wakho, naye ukhulelwe indodana esebudaleni bakhe;

³⁷Ngokuba akukho lutho olungenzeke kuNkulunkulu.

³⁸UMariya wathi: “Bheka, ngiyincekukazi yeNkosi; makube kimi njengezwi lakho. Ingelosi yamuka kuye.

³⁹Ngalezo zinsuku uMariya wasuka waya ngokushesha ezintabeni, emzini wakwaJuda;

⁴⁰Wangena endlini kaZakariya, wabingelela u-Elisabethe.

⁴¹Kwathi u-Elisabethe ezwa ukubingelela kukaMariya, umntwana waxhuma esizalweni sakhe; u-Elisabethe wagcwala uMoya oNgcwele;

⁴²Wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazane, futhi sibusisiwe isithelo sesisu sakho.

⁴³Kuzuzeni lokhu ukuba unina weNkosi yami eze kimi na?

⁴⁴Ngokuba bheka, kuthe izwi lokubingelela kwakho lizwakala ezindlebeni zami, umntwana waxhuma esizalweni sami ngokujabula.

⁴⁵Ubusisiwe owakholwayo, ngokuba kuyakuba khona ukugcwaliseka kwalokho akutshelwa yiNkosi.

⁴⁶UMariya wasesithi: Umphefumulo wami uyayitusa iNkosi.

⁴⁷Nomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami.

⁴⁸Ngokuba ubhekile ubuphansi bencekukazi yakhe, ngokuba bheka, kusukela manje izizukulwane zonke ziyakuthi ngibusisiwe.

⁴⁹Ngoba uSomandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu; lingcwele igama lakhe.

⁵⁰Futhi umusa wakhe uzizukulwane ngezizukulwane kulabo abamesabayo.

⁵¹Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe; ubachithile abazidlayo ekucabangeni kwezinhliziyo zabo.

⁵²Wehlise abanamandla ezihlalweni zabo zobukhosi, wabaphakamisa abaphansi.

⁵³Ubasuthisile abalambileyo ngezinto ezinhle; nabacebile wabamukisa bengenalutho.

⁵⁴Uyisizile inceku yakhe u-Israyeli, ekhumbula umusa wakhe;

⁵⁵njengalokho yakhuluma kokhokho bethu ku-Abrahama nenzalo yakhe kuze kube phakade.

⁵⁶UMariya wahlala naye kungathi izinyanga ezintathu, wabuyela endlini yakhe.

⁵⁷Saphelela-ke isikhathi sika-Elisabethe sokuba abelethe; wazala indodana.

⁵⁸Omakhelwane bakhe nabazala bakhe bezwa ukuthi iNkosi yenze isihawu esikhulu kuye; basebethokoza kanye laye.

⁵⁹Kwathi ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili beza ukuzosoka umntwana. Bambiza ngegama likayise uZakariya.

⁶⁰Unina waphendula wathi: “Qha; kodwa uzakuthiwa uJohane.

⁶¹Bathi kuye: “Akakho ezihlotsheni zakho obizwa ngaleli gama.

⁶²Basebeqhweba uyise ukuthi ufuna iqanjwe njani.

⁶³Wacela isibhebhe, waloba ukuthi: NguJohane igama lakhe. Bamangala bonke.

⁶⁴Kwase kuvuleka umlomo wakhe khona lapho nolimi lwakhe, wakhuluma, wambonga uNkulunkulu.

⁶⁵Bonke abakhelene nabo behlelwa ngukwesaba, futhi zonke lezi zindaba zezwakala ezweni lonke lezintaba laseJudiya.

⁶⁶Bonke abazizwayo bakubeka ezinhliziyweni zabo, bethi: “Lo mntwana uyakuba yini na? Futhi isandla sikaJehova sasinaye.

⁶⁷Uyise uZakariya wagcwala uMoya oNgcwele, waprofetha, wathi:

⁶⁸Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; ngokuba ubahambele, wabahlenga abantu bakhe;

⁶⁹Usivusele uphondo lwensindiso endlini kaDavide inceku yakhe;

⁷⁰Njengoba akhuluma ngomlomo wabaprofethi bakhe abangcwele, ababekhona kusukela endulo.

⁷¹Ukuze sisindiswe ezitheni zethu nasesandleni sabo bonke abasizondayo;

⁷²Ukwenzela obaba umusa nokukhumbula isivumelwano sakhe esingcwele;

⁷³Isifungo asenza kubaba u-Abhrahama.

⁷⁴Ukuze asinike, ukuthi sikhululwe esandleni sezitha zethu, siyikhonze singesabi;

⁷⁵ngobungcwele nokulunga phambi kwakhe zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwethu.

⁷⁶Nawe, mntwana, uyakuthiwa umprofethi woPhezukonke, ngokuba wena uyakuhamba phambi kobuso beNkosi ukulungisa izindlela zayo;

⁷⁷ukuze anike abantu bakhe ulwazi lwensindiso ngokuthethelelwa kwezono zabo,

⁷⁸Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu wethu; okwasihambela ngalo ukuntwela kokusa okuvela phezulu.

⁷⁹Ukubakhanyisela abahlezi ebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, ukuqondisa izinyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula.

⁸⁰Umntwana wakhula, waba namandla emoyeni; wayesezinkangala kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubonakaliswa kwakhe kuIsrayeli.
