54 Kasang'hana kija kiyalongile kwa wahenga zetu, keza kumtaza msang'hanaji wake Izilaeli.
55 Kakumbuka kumonela bazi Abulahamu, na lukolo lwake lose siku zose!”
56 Malia kakala kwa Elizabeti miezi midatu, abaho kabwela ukayake.
57 Kipindi cha kuifungula Elizabeti vikivikile, kaifungula mwana wa kimbigalo.
58 Wanhu weli behi nayo na ndugu zake viwahulike mbuli ng'hulu ziyatendeligwe na Mndewa, wadeng'helela hamoja nayo.
59 Imwana viyavikize siku nane, wamwingiza kumbi. Walonda kumkema Zakalia, twaga da tatake,
60 lakini mamake kalonga, “Bule, twaga jake Yohana.”
61 Wamulongela, “Kuduhu munhu mulukolo lwenu yeli na twaga dijo!”
62 Abaho wamgwaa kilaguso tatake, wamuuza twaga gani diyalondile mwanage yakemigwe.
63 Zakalia kawapula kibao cha kwandikila, kandika vino, “Twaga jake Yohana.” Wanhu wose wakanganya!
64 Bahaja Zakalia kadaha kulonga, kamgwaa nhogolwa Mulungu.
65 Wanhu weli behi nayo wadumba ng'hani. Mbuli izo za unzonza zibwililika kila hanhu kuvigongo va isi ya Yudea.
66 Kila munhu yahulike mbuli ayo kaigelegeza, kauza, “Vino mwana ino kokuwa nani?” Kwavija udahi wa Mndewa ukala hamoja nayo.
67 Zakalia tatake Yohana kamemezigwa Loho Yang'alile, kalonga usenga wa Mulungu,
68 “Yatogoligwe Mndewa, Mulungu wa Izilaeli! Keza kuwataza wanhu zake na kuwagombola.
69 Katugwaa Mkombola yeli na udahi, mzukulu wa Daudi msang'hanaji wake.
70 Kamba viyalongile toka mwaka kubitila watula ndagu zake wang'alile,
71 kamba kotukombola na wanhu wang'hobo, na kulawa mmakono ga wanhu watwihile.
72 Kalonga kowonela bazi wahenga zetu, na kokumbuka lagano jake ding'alile.
