Given that many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those things that really did take place among us,

just as those who became eyewitnesses, from the beginning, and ministers of the Word delivered them to us,

it seemed good to me also, most excellent Theophilus, having taken careful note of everything from Above, to write to you with precision and in sequence,

In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth.

They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and they both were well advanced in years.
8 ཡདཱ སྭཔཪྻྱཱནུཀྲམེཎ སིཁརིཡ ཨཱིཤྭཱསྱ སམཀྵཾ ཡཱཛཀཱིཡཾ ཀརྨྨ ཀརོཏི
Now it happened, as he was officiating as priest before God in the order of his division,
9 ཏདཱ ཡཛྙསྱ དིནཔརིཔཱཡྻཱ པརམེཤྭརསྱ མནྡིརེ པྲཝེཤཀཱལེ དྷཱུཔཛྭཱལནཾ ཀརྨྨ ཏསྱ ཀརཎཱིཡམཱསཱིཏ྄།
according to the custom of the priesthood, that his lot was to burn incense, upon entering the sanctuary of the Lord;
10 ཏདྡྷཱུཔཛྭཱལནཀཱལེ ལོཀནིཝཧེ པྲཱརྠནཱཾ ཀརྟུཾ བཧིསྟིཥྛཏི
and the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.

Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense;
12 ཏཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ སིཁརིཡ ཨུདྭིཝིཛེ ཤཤངྐེ ཙ།
and upon seeing him Zacharias was shaken, and a fear fell upon him.

But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your prayer was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14 ཀིཉྩ ཏྭཾ སཱནནྡཿ སཧརྵཤྩ བྷཝིཥྱསི ཏསྱ ཛནྨནི བཧཝ ཨཱནནྡིཥྱནྟི ཙ།
And you will have joy and exultation, and many will rejoice over his birth.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he must not drink either wine or strong drink; indeed, he will be filled with Holy Spirit already from his mother's womb.
16 སན྄ ཨིསྲཱཡེལྭཾཤཱིཡཱན྄ ཨནེཀཱན྄ པྲབྷོཿ པརམེཤྭརསྱ མཱརྒམཱནེཥྱཏི།
And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God;

in fact he himself will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of fathers to children’ and the disobedient to the mindset of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord.”
18 ཏདཱ སིཁརིཡོ དཱུཏམཝཱདཱིཏ྄ ཀཐམེཏད྄ ཝེཏྶྱཱམི? ཡཏོཧཾ ཝྲྀདྡྷོ མམ བྷཱཪྻྱཱ ཙ ཝྲྀདྡྷཱ།
But Zacharias 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 ཏཏོ དཱུཏཿ པྲཏྱུཝཱཙ པཤྱེཤྭརསྱ སཱཀྵཱདྭརྟྟཱི ཛིབྲཱཡེལྣཱམཱ དཱུཏོཧཾ ཏྭཡཱ སཧ ཀཐཱཾ གདིཏུཾ ཏུབྷྱམིམཱཾ ཤུབྷཝཱརྟྟཱཾ དཱཏུཉྩ པྲེཥིཏཿ།
So in answer the angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; I was sent to speak to you and bring you this good news.
20 ཀིནྟུ མདཱིཡཾ ཝཱཀྱཾ ཀཱལེ ཕལིཥྱཏི ཏཏ྄ ཏྭཡཱ ན པྲཏཱིཏམ྄ ཨཏཿ ཀཱརཎཱད྄ ཡཱཝདེཝ ཏཱནི ན སེཏྶྱནྟི ཏཱཝཏ྄ ཏྭཾ ཝཀྟུཾམཤཀྟོ མཱུཀོ བྷཝ།
Now look, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day in which these things happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
21 ཏདཱནཱིཾ ཡེ ཡེ ལོཀཱཿ སིཁརིཡམཔཻཀྵནྟ ཏེ མདྷྱེམནྡིརཾ ཏསྱ བཧུཝིལམྦཱད྄ ཨཱཤྩཪྻྱཾ མེནིརེ།
Now the people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his delay in the sanctuary.
22 ས བཧིརཱགཏོ ཡདཱ ཀིམཔི ཝཱཀྱཾ ཝཀྟུམཤཀྟཿ སངྐེཏཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ནིཿཤབྡསྟསྱཽ ཏདཱ མདྷྱེམནྡིརཾ ཀསྱཙིད྄ དརྴནཾ ཏེན པྲཱཔྟམ྄ ཨིཏི སཪྻྭེ བུབུདྷིརེ།
But when he came out he was unable to speak to them, and they understood that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary—he kept gesturing to them while remaining mute.
23 ཨནནྟརཾ ཏསྱ སེཝནཔཪྻྱཱཡེ སམྤཱུརྞེ སཏི ས ནིཛགེཧཾ ཛགཱམ།
And so, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he took off for home.
24 ཀཏིཔཡདིནེཥུ གཏེཥུ ཏསྱ བྷཱཪྻྱཱ ཨིལཱིཤེཝཱ གརྦྦྷཝཏཱི བབྷཱུཝ
Well after those days his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and stayed in seclusion five months. She kept saying,
25 པཤྩཱཏ྄ སཱ པཉྩམཱསཱན྄ སཾགོཔྱཱཀཐཡཏ྄ ལོཀཱནཱཾ སམཀྵཾ མམཱཔམཱནཾ ཁཎྜཡིཏུཾ པརམེཤྭརོ མཡི དྲྀཥྚིཾ པཱཏཡིཏྭཱ ཀརྨྨེདྲྀཤཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
“So that's what the Lord has done for me in the days when He concerned Himself to take away my reproach among the people!”
26 ཨཔརཉྩ ཏསྱཱ གརྦྦྷསྱ ཥཥྛེ མཱསེ ཛཱཏེ གཱལཱིལྤྲདེཤཱིཡནཱསརཏྤུརེ
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee named Natsareth,
27 དཱཡཱུདོ ཝཾཤཱིཡཱཡ ཡཱུཥཕྣཱམྣེ པུརུཥཱཡ ཡཱ མརིཡམྣཱམཀུམཱརཱི ཝཱགྡཏྟཱསཱིཏ྄ ཏསྱཱཿ སམཱིཔཾ ཛིབྲཱཡེལ྄ དཱུཏ ཨཱིཤྭརེཎ པྲཧིཏཿ།
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Mary.
28 ས གཏྭཱ ཛགཱད ཧེ ཨཱིཤྭརཱནུགྲྀཧཱིཏཀནྱེ ཏཝ ཤུབྷཾ བྷཱུཡཱཏ྄ པྲབྷུཿ པརམེཤྭརསྟཝ སཧཱཡོསྟི ནཱརཱིཎཱཾ མདྷྱེ ཏྭམེཝ དྷནྱཱ།
So upon entering where she was the angel said, “Rejoice, recipient of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 ཏདཱནཱིཾ སཱ ཏཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ ཏསྱ ཝཱཀྱཏ ཨུདྭིཛྱ ཀཱིདྲྀཤཾ བྷཱཥཎམིདམ྄ ཨིཏི མནསཱ ཙིནྟཡཱམཱས།
But upon seeing him she was perplexed at his word and was trying to figure out what sort of greeting it might be.
30 ཏཏོ དཱུཏོ྅ཝདཏ྄ ཧེ མརིཡམ྄ བྷཡཾ མཱཀཱརྵཱིཿ, ཏྭཡི པརམེཤྭརསྱཱནུགྲཧོསྟི།
The angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, because you have found favor with God.
31 པཤྱ ཏྭཾ གརྦྦྷཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ པུཏྲཾ པྲསོཥྱསེ ཏསྱ ནཱམ ཡཱིཤུརིཏི ཀརིཥྱསི།
Now then, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS.
32 ས མཧཱན྄ བྷཝིཥྱཏི ཏཐཱ སཪྻྭེབྷྱཿ ཤྲེཥྛསྱ པུཏྲ ཨིཏི ཁྱཱསྱཏི; ཨཔརཾ པྲབྷུཿ པརམེཤྭརསྟསྱ པིཏུརྡཱཡཱུདཿ སིཾཧཱསནཾ ཏསྨཻ དཱསྱཏི;
He will be great, and will be called ‘Son of the Most High’; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
and He will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages; indeed, of His kingdom there will be no end!” (aiōn g165)
34 ཏདཱ མརིཡམ྄ ཏཾ དཱུཏཾ བབྷཱཥེ ནཱཧཾ པུརུཥསངྒཾ ཀརོམི ཏརྷི ཀཐམེཏཏ྄ སམྦྷཝིཥྱཏི?
So Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 ཏཏོ དཱུཏོ྅ཀཐཡཏ྄ པཝིཏྲ ཨཱཏྨཱ ཏྭཱམཱཤྲཱཡིཥྱཏི ཏཐཱ སཪྻྭཤྲེཥྛསྱ ཤཀྟིསྟཝོཔརི ཚཱཡཱཾ ཀརིཥྱཏི ཏཏོ ཧེཏོསྟཝ གརྦྦྷཱད྄ ཡཿ པཝིཏྲབཱལཀོ ཛནིཥྱཏེ ས ཨཱིཤྭརཔུཏྲ ཨིཏི ཁྱཱཏིཾ པྲཱཔྶྱཏི།
In answer the angel said to her: “Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will hover over you; precisely for this reason the holy One who is to be born will be called ‘Son of God’!
36 ཨཔརཉྩ པཤྱ ཏཝ ཛྙཱཏིརིལཱིཤེཝཱ ཡཱཾ སཪྻྭེ བནྡྷྱཱམཝདན྄ ཨིདཱནཱིཾ སཱ ཝཱརྡྡྷཀྱེ སནྟཱནམེཀཾ གརྦྦྷེ྅དྷཱརཡཏ྄ ཏསྱ ཥཥྛམཱསོབྷཱུཏ྄།
Furthermore, your relative Elizabeth, she has actually conceived a son in her old age and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren;
37 ཀིམཔི ཀརྨྨ ནཱསཱདྷྱམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ།
because any word spoken by God will be possible.”
38 ཏདཱ མརིཡམ྄ ཛགཱད, པཤྱ པྲབྷེརཧཾ དཱསཱི མཧྱཾ ཏཝ ཝཱཀྱཱནུསཱརེཎ སཪྻྭམེཏད྄ གྷཊཏཱམ྄; ཨནནཏརཾ དཱུཏསྟསྱཱཿ སམཱིཔཱཏ྄ པྲཏསྠེ།
So Mary said: “Yes, I am the Lord's slave! Let it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
39 ཨཐ ཀཏིཔཡདིནཱཏ྄ པརཾ མརིཡམ྄ ཏསྨཱཏ྄ པཪྻྭཏམཡཔྲདེཤཱིཡཡིཧཱུདཱཡཱ ནགརམེཀཾ ཤཱིགྷྲཾ གཏྭཱ
Then Mary quickly got ready and went into the hill country in those days, to a town of Judah,
40 སིཁརིཡཡཱཛཀསྱ གྲྀཧཾ པྲཝིཤྱ ཏསྱ ཛཱཡཱམ྄ ཨིལཱིཤེཝཱཾ སམྦོདྷྱཱཝདཏ྄།
and entered the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.
41 ཏཏོ མརིཡམཿ སམྦོདྷནཝཱཀྱེ ཨིལཱིཤེཝཱཡཱཿ ཀརྞཡོཿ པྲཝིཥྚམཱཏྲེ སཏི ཏསྱཱ གརྦྦྷསྠབཱལཀོ ནནརྟྟ། ཏཏ ཨིལཱིཤེཝཱ པཝིཏྲེཎཱཏྨནཱ པརིཔཱུརྞཱ སཏཱི
Well it happened that as Elizabeth heard Mary's salutation the babe bounced up and down in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit.
42 པྲོཙྩཻརྒདིཏུམཱརེབྷེ, ཡོཥིཏཱཾ མདྷྱེ ཏྭམེཝ དྷནྱཱ, ཏཝ གརྦྦྷསྠཿ ཤིཤུཤྩ དྷནྱཿ།
And she cried out with a great voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb!
43 ཏྭཾ པྲབྷོརྨཱཏཱ, མམ ནིཝེཤནེ ཏྭཡཱ ཙརཎཱཝརྤིཏཽ, མམཱདྱ སཽབྷཱགྱམེཏཏ྄།
Why am I so favored that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

Yes indeed, because as the sound of your salutation came into my ears the babe bounced up and down in my womb for joy.
45 ཡཱ སྟྲཱི ཝྱཤྭསཱིཏ྄ སཱ དྷནྱཱ, ཡཏོ ཧེཏོསྟཱཾ པྲཏི པརམེཤྭརོཀྟཾ ཝཱཀྱཾ སཪྻྭཾ སིདྡྷཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
Blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that have been spoken to her from the Lord.”
46 ཏདཱནཱིཾ མརིཡམ྄ ཛགཱད། དྷནྱཝཱདཾ པརེཤསྱ ཀརོཏི མཱམཀཾ མནཿ།
So Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,

and my spirit has exulted over God my Savior,

in that He paid attention to the humble station of His slave (f). Yes indeed, because from now on all generations will declare me to be highly favored,

in that the Mighty One did sublime things for me, and Holy is His name.

His mercy is for generations of generations to those fearing Him.

He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has dispersed the arrogant in the reasoning of their hearts.

He has dethroned rulers and exalted the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.

He has taken the part of His servant Israel, in remembrance of mercy,

just as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed while there is an age.” (aiōn g165)

So Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.

Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth was completed and she bore a son.

Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had used His great mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.

So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they started calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias.
60 ཀིནྟུ ཏསྱ མཱཏཱཀཐཡཏ྄ ཏནྣ, ནཱམཱསྱ ཡོཧན྄ ཨིཏི ཀརྟྟཝྱམ྄།
His mother reacted and said, “Absolutely not; he shall be called John!”
61 ཏདཱ ཏེ ཝྱཱཧརན྄ ཏཝ ཝཾཤམདྷྱེ ནཱམེདྲྀཤཾ ཀསྱཱཔི ནཱསྟི།
So they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”

So they started motioning to his father, as to what he would have him called.

Asking for a writing tablet he wrote this: “His name is to be John!” They all marveled.

Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed and he started to speak, blessing God.
