⁹Zakariya tsakasaghulighwa kwa kwasa simbi, ka watambika pfawang'ali wotendagha. Apfo kengila mng'anda mwe Imtwatsa akadusule ubani.

¹⁰Ne ichipindi che kupfukitsa ubani pfachitsile, iwanu wose wakala wolomba kunze.

¹¹Kuya malaika we Imtwatsa, kamlawila, kema ubali wa kujilo wa hanu hala kupfukitsila ubani.

¹²Sakariya hamwonile, keduka kuya kapfuka.

¹³Imalaika kamlongela, “Uleke kupfuka, Sakariya! Imulungu kahulika chaumlombile. Mwehe wako katsokwelekela imwana immale naghwe kutsomkema Yohane.

¹⁴Kutsosekelela ng'ani na kudeng'elela, ne iwanu wengi watsodeng'elela kwa ukwelekighwa kwake!

¹⁵Katsakuwa imunu imkulu hambele he Imtwatsa. Ng'atsakunwa bae idipfai wala mbwali. Ghumuhe ghwe Imulungu katsommemetsa kulawa litsuwa lya ukwelekighwa kwake.

¹⁶Katsowoyitsa iwanu wengi we Isiraeli woye kwe Imtwatsa Imulungu wawo.

¹⁷Katsolongola hambele he Imtwatsa, katsakuwa ne ingupfu na ghumuhe ka nabii Eliya. Tsina aba watsowanoghela keli iwana wao, katsowoyitsa iwanu ing'awohulika woye mne ukwalangula kunoghile ka iwanu iwomuhulika Imulungu, katsowatenda iwanu weyandae kumbokela Imtwatsa.”

¹⁸Sakariya kamghutsa imalaika, “Nitsomanyatse ka ichinu chino chakuwa apfo? Nene nilala na mwehe wangu pfipfila kalala”

¹⁹Imalaika kamwidika, “Nene na Gaburieli. Nakwima hanu he Imulungu, iyanitumile nonge naghwe, na nikulongele imbuli ino inoghile.

²⁰Kwitsenyamala tulu kwaapfila ng'ughatoghola bae aghano ighatsolawila mna msimu wake, ng'utsodaha bae ukulonga mbaka aghano ghanikulongele haghotsolawila.”
