Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 A jota naira jeri, pwe Elijapet li dapwan amen, o ira karoj likailapalar.
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
9 Duen a kin wiaui ren jamero kan, o anjau en ijik mairon lao leler, a kotilon on nan im en kaudok en Kaun o.
According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, 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 unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.

And he shall 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.

And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken 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.
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
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.
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
21 A pokon o auiaui Jakariaj, puriamuiki a pwapwand nan im ni kaudok.
And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long 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.
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
23 Kadekadeo ran akan en a dodok lao nikier, a kotin purelan japwe koieilan im a.
And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and 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 hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on 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,
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 Ren jeripein makelekel amen, me kijin nin on ol amen, me mar a Iojep, kijan kadaudok en Dawid; jeripein makelekel o adaneki Maria.
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 Tounlan o kotilon on nan deu a majani on i: Kajelelia Main, kom meid pai, Kaun o kotikot re omui! Kom meid pai nan pun en li akan!
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

30 A tounlan majani on i: Maria, ender majak, pwe komui me konekonelar ren Kot.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 A kilan, komui pan lijeanda o naitikeda jeri ol amen, a komui pan ki on mar a Iejuj.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 Nan i me pan lapalap, o a pan maraneki Japwilim en Kaun lapalap, o Kaun Kot pan kotiki on i mol en jam a Dawid.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Maria ap majani on tounlan o: Daduen mepukat pan kak wiaui, aki i jaja ol amen?
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 Tounlan o kotin japen majani on i: Nen jaraui pan kotin ti po omui o rojon en Kaun lapalap pan kipa komui di, i me jaraui o, me pan ipwi jan komui, pan marenki: Japwilim en Kot.
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of 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,
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also 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 no word spoken by God shall be void of power.
38 A Maria potoan on: Majani, nai lidu en Kaun o; en wiaui on ia duen omui majan. Tounlan o ap kotila jan re a.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 I ran oko Maria madan kotila pon nana o nan kanim en luda eu,
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
40 Ap pedelon on nan im en Jakariaj o ranamau on Elijapet.
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 Kadekadeo Elijapet lao roner en Maria a ranamau on i, jeri o ap mokideda nan kaped a; a Elijapet ap direkila Nen jaraui,
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 O nil laudeda majani: Komui meid pai ren li akan, o meid iajanai ipwin kupur omui!
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 A iaduen pai wet a ko jan ia, pwe in en ai Kaun koti don ia?
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Majani, ni ai roner omui ranamau, jeri o ap mokideda nan kaped i aki a peren.
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 O komui meid pai, pweki komui pojon! Pwe a pan pwaida, me Kaun o kotin majani on komui.
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 O nen i perenki Kot ai Jaunkamaur.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
