1 MURIN me toto ar intiniedier kajoi pan meakan, me kitail kin kamelele,
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 Duen ir, me kajokajoi on kit, me jaunkakede o papa pan majan jan ni tapi o,
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
3 I ap pil lamedar, me mau, i en intin won komui, Main Tiopiluj, pwe i lelepokki karoj jan in tapi o kokodo.
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus [God friend];
4 Pwe komui en aja duen meakan me komui aleer, me pun melel.
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
5 Ni muein Erodej nanmarki en ludiia, jamoro amen mia, kijan pwin on Apia, me mar a Jakariaj, o a paud amen jan nain Aron jeripein oko, me mar a Elijapet.
There was in the days of Herod [Heroic], the king of Judea [Praise], a certain priest named Zacharias [Remembered by Yah], of the priestly division of Abiyah [My father Yah]. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron [Light-bringer], and her name was Elizabeth [My God oath].
6 Ira karoj me pun mon Kot, o ira ineneweita ni en Kaun a kujoned o tiak kan karoj.
They were both upright before God, observing all the mitzvot ·instructions· and ordinances of Yahweh blamelessly.
7 A jota naira jeri, pwe Elijapet li dapwan amen, o ira karoj likailapalar.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth [My God oath] was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 A kadekadeo ni a kapwaiada a dodok en jamero mon Kot ni anjau o, me a pwin pwaijaneki,
Now while he served in the priest’s office before God in the order of his priestly division,

according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of Yahweh and burn incense (as the Cohen Gadol ·High Priest· on Yom Kippur ·Day of Atonement·. On the 7th month of Ethanim on the 10th day).
10 A pokon kalaimun mi liki, wiawia kapakap ni klok en ijij.
All the people were outside, praying, at the time of the incense burning,
11 A tounlan en Kaun amen pwara don i, kotikot ni pali maun en pei jaraui en potik.
when there appeared to him an angel of MarYah [Master Yahweh], standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Jakariaj lao majani, ap lujikida o majapwekada.
Zacharias [Remembered by Yah] was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 A tounlan o majani on i: Jakariaj, der majak, pwe om kapakap pwaidar, om paud Elijapet pan naitikeda jeri ol amen, a koe pan ki on mar a Ioanej.
But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias [Remembered by Yah], because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth [My God oath], will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John [Yah is gracious].
14 O a pan kare on uk peren o popol, o me toto pan perenki a ipwidi.
You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 Pwe a pan lapalap ren Kaun o, a jota pan nim wain, pil jo eu jon en joko; a pan dir en Nen jaraui nan kupur en in a.
For he will be great in the sight of MarYah [Master Yahweh], and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness], even from his mother’s womb.
16 A me toto ren nain Ijrael akan, me a pan kawuki on Kaun ar Kot.
He will turn many of the children of to MarYah [Master Yahweh], their God.

He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah [My God Yah], ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for Adonai.”
18 A Jakariaj majani on tounlan o: Da me i en ajaki me wet? Pwe I ol laudalar amen, o ai paud pil likailapalar.
Zacharias [Remembered by Yah] said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
19 A tounlan japen majani on i: Nai Kapriel, me kin ariri Kot, o me pakadarado, en lokaia on uk, o wa don uk ronamau pukat.
The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel [Man of God], who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
20 Kilan, koe pan loton la, o jaja lokaia lao lel ran o, me mepukat pan pwaida, pweki om jota kamelele ai kajoi, me pan pwaida ni a anjau.
Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
21 A pokon o auiaui Jakariaj, puriamuiki a pwapwand nan im ni kaudok.
The people were waiting for Zacharias [Remembered by Yah], and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
22 A lao pedoi jan, a jolar kak majan on irail. Irail ap dedeki, me e udial manaman eu nan im en kaudok o. A olol on irail o lotonlar.
When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 Kadekadeo ran akan en a dodok lao nikier, a kotin purelan japwe koieilan im a.
When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.

After these days Elizabeth [My God oath], his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 Iduen Kaun o kotin wiai on ia ni ran oko, ni a kotin majan don ia, pwen kotiki jan ia kanamenok pai ren aramaj.
“Thus has MarYah [Master Yahweh] done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
26 Ni kawonu en jaunipon tounlan Kapriel pakadarala jan ren Kot on nan kanim en Kalilaa eu, me ad a Najaret,
Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel [Man of God] was sent from God to a city of Galilee [District, Circuit], named Nazareth [Branch, Separated one],

to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph [May he add], of David [Beloved]’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary [Rebellion].

Having come in, the angel said to her, “Shalom ·Complete peace·, favored lady! Adonai is with you. Blessed are you among women!”

Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and will call his name ‘Yeshua [Salvation].’

He will be great, and will be called haBen haElohim Chayim [the Son of the God Living]. MarYah [Master Yahweh] God will give him the throne of his forefather, David [Beloved],
and he will reign over the house of Jacob [Supplanter] forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.” (aiōn g165)

Mary [Rebellion] said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”

The angel answered her, “The Ruach Kodesh [Holy Spirit] will come on you, and the power of the Elyon [Most High] will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.
36 O majani, ri om Elijapet pil lijeandar ni a likailapala, a pan neitikeda jeri ol amen, a kawonu en jaunipon anjau wet; iei i me dapwan,
Behold, Elizabeth [My God oath], your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Pwe jota meakot, me Kot jota kak on.
For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
