In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

At the hour of incense the whole multitude of the people was praying outside.

Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, and fear fell upon him.

Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this for certain? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her days.”

The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God and was sent to speak to yoʋ and bring yoʋ this good news.

Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his delay in the temple.

When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, because he kept making signs to them and remained unable to speak.
23 ཨནནྟརཾ ཏསྱ སེཝནཔཪྻྱཱཡེ སམྤཱུརྞེ སཏི ས ནིཛགེཧཾ ཛགཱམ།
When the days of his service had come to an end, he returned to his home.

After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,

The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with yoʋ! Blessed are yoʋ among women!”

But when Mary saw him, she was greatly perplexed by his statement and began wondering what sort of greeting this might be.

The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon yoʋ, and the power of the Most High will overshadow yoʋ; therefore the holy child that is to be born will be called the Son of God.

Then Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; may it happen to me according to yoʋr word.” And the angel went away from her.

In those days Mary arose and went with haste to the hill country, to a town of Judah,
