1 Cawhkaw ik-oeih ningnih anglakawh ak soep ce thlang khawzah ing qee aham hlah hawh uhy,
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 ak cyk ca awhkaw ing dyihthing na awm nawh ce ak awi dawngawh bi ak bikhqi ing nangmih a venawh amik kqawn law patoe lawt amyihna.
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
5 Judea sangpahrang Herod chan awh, Abijiah cakaw khawsoeih pynoet, ang mingna Zekarih ce awm nawh Elizabeth ak mingnaak Aaron cahlah ce zu na hy.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Khawsa mik huh awh thlak dyng na awm nih nawh, Bawipa ak awipeekhqi ingkaw sai hly kawi boeih boeih ce coet amak kapna sai hy nih.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Cehlai Elizabeth taw ciing nawh ca am ta hy nih; ani kum awm pacawng hawh hy nih.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Zekariah a poek ben ing Khawsa haiawh Khawsa bibinaak tym a pha a dawngawh,
Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,

And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Cawh Bawipa ak khan ceityih ce bawktui phumnaak bawkthang tang benawh dyih pehy.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zekariah ing a huh awh ang ngaih kyi nawh ak kqih na awm kqih hy.
Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
16 Anih ing Israel thlang khawzah ce a mimah a Bawipa Khawsa venna sawi tlaih kaw.

He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
18 Zekariah ing khan ceityih a venawh, “Ve ve ikawmyihna ka simnaak kaw? Kamah awm pacawng nyng ka zu awm nucawng hawh hy,” tina hy.
Zechariah 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 Khan ceityih ing a venawh, “Kai ve Khawsa haiawh ak dyi Gabriel ni, nang a venawh awi kqawn aham ingkaw vawhkaw awithang leek kqawn aham tyihna kak awm ni.
The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
20 Cehlai nang ing, a tym a khoek awh ak pha law hly kawi kak kqawn law ve am nak cangnaak a dawngawh, cawhkaw ik-oeih a pha hlan dy awimyh kawp ti,” tina hy.
And look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."

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.

It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.

"Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."

But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.

The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will be called the Son of God.
