Luka 1:16-25

¹⁶Kowatenda wanhu wengi wa Izilaeli wailumbe na Mndewa Mulungu wao.

¹⁷Nayo komulongolela Mndewa, kokuwa na nguvu kamba mtula ndagu wa Mulungu Eliya. Kowatenda tata na wana wainogele, kowagalusa wanhu waja hawamtegeleza Mulungu wagese ganogile kamba wanhu wanogile, avo yamtandile Mndewa wanhu zake.”

¹⁸Zakalia kamuuza msenga ija wa kuulanga, “Vino nojuwaze mbuli ino kamba ya ukweli? Niye na mwehe wangu twa wavele.”

¹⁹Msenga ija kamwidika, “Niye na Gabilieli. Nokwima haulongozi ha Mulungu, heyo ayo yanhumile nonge na gweye kukupetela mbuli ino inogile.

²⁰Lakini kwavija hutogole mbuli zangu zonda zilawilile mna ikipindi chake, sambi hudaha kulonga mbaka siku vonda ilawilile mbuli ino.”

²¹Kipindi acho wanhu wakalile wombeta Zakalia, wakanganya habali kokawa kulawa Mng'anda ya Mulungu.

²²Viyalawile kunze hadahile kulonga nao. Wajuwa hana kinhu cha unzonza kiyaonile Mng'anda ya Mulungu, kwavija kawagwaa kilaguso kwa kwinula makono gake, na kakala halonga.

²³Viyamambukize sang'hano yake Mng'anda ya Mulungu, kabwela ukae.

²⁴Hamwande kidogo imwehe Elizabeti kagoga inda. Hasegele ukayake kwa miezi mitano. Kalonga,

²⁵“Hakimambukizo Mndewa kanisegezela kinyala mgameso ga wanhu!”
