7 YMP Metom Elisabet me avî yamu te, be ditu thêi sêik mî me îmô hele be eyalôv. BSB BSB: But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
8 YMP Wak te me Abiya ya ondong ining waklavông embong ku îmô melak matheng. Me etak Sekalaia vo nembong ku îmô Wapômbêng mandaluk. BSB BSB: One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

10 YMP Be hîmbôk da uv mavî me avîlanô bêng anông îmô melak vi yêing be eteng mek îmô. BSB BSB: And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
11 YMP Êng me Anômbêng ya aŋêla te hêyô vo Sekalaia be heva long îmbôk da uv mavî ya alakdala viyôhôk. BSB BSB: Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 YMP Sekalaia hêyê aŋêla, êng me hesong be hêkô kambom. BSB BSB: When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.

14 YMP Me tem lem mavî bêng anông. Sêik êng hivutak me avîlanô bêng anông tem leŋing mavî BSB BSB: He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,

He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
16 YMP Me tem nendom avîlanô Islael bêng anông endeni êndêng Anômbêng loho ning Wapômbêng ethak loŋbô. BSB BSB: Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.

19 YMP Metom aŋêla henang viyang nena, “Ya Gabliel be thak ya hava Wapômbêng mandaluk. Be diti yêni da hêv ya be ya halêm vo ya nang ambô mavî tiêng êndêng ong. BSB BSB: “I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

Be tem viem putup me mî hîtôm nonang ambô amî endebe yînîng ambô ti niŋgik anông êndêng waklavông atu be Wapômbêng hîtôk.” BSB BSB: And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
21 YMP Avîlanô eyaŋging Sekalaia hele be mî me leŋing êv nena ômbête lêk hêpôm inda hîlôk melak matheng kapô. BSB BSB: Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.

Êng me loho yala nena yêni lêk hêyê wêng te hîlôk melak matheng kapô. BSB BSB: When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.
23 YMP Sekalaia hevong ya ku yôv me yêni hîvô hê ya melak. BSB BSB: And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
24 YMP Yôvêm me Sekalaia yanavî Elisabet hethambeng. Me hîmô ya melak kapô yom hîtôm ayông bahevi. BSB BSB: After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
25 YMP Me henang nena, “Lêk iti me Anômbêng la mavî be hevong nôm iti hêndêng ya be hêv yînîng moma vê hêk avîlanô maleŋing.” BSB BSB: “The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

28 YMP Aŋêla hê hêndêng Malia me henang nena, “Waklîvông mavî ong! Anômbêng hîmô hiving ong be bôk hêv ya wapôm hêndêng ong.” BSB BSB: The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 YMP Me Malia helaŋô ambô êng be hesong kambom be la hêv nena ambô alête bêng. BSB BSB: Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 YMP Metom aŋêla henang ethak yêni nena, “Malia, dô nôkô andô vômbê nena lêk huwa Wapômbêng ya wapôm yôv. BSB BSB: So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 YMP Nondaŋô. Tem nothambeng be nombathu sêik anô te be nondam ya athêng nena Yisu. BSB BSB: Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.

BSB BSB: The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 YMP Nondaŋô. Yatam avî Elisabet bôk avoŋa be elam yêni nena avî yamu, metom lêk hethambeng be ya ayông lêk bahevi be lahavôte be tem nembathu sêik malô te. BSB BSB: Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
37 YMP Be ditu nômate mî malêing vo Wapômbêng embong amî.” BSB BSB: For no word from God will ever fail.”
39 YMP Wakma êng me Malia hetak ya long me hê ketheng be hêyô melak lông te hêk Judia long atu be dum nenanena bêng anông. BSB BSB: In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,

41 YMP Me Elisabet elaŋô ya ambô me sêik kasek hîsôv kisi heva yêni la kapô me Lovak Matheng hîvôlô yêni kapô thing. BSB BSB: When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

43 YMP Metom ya avî alête be yînîng Anômbêng talêmbô hêlêm vo ninjê ya? BSB BSB: And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 YMP Nondaŋô. Wakma ya halaŋô yong waklîvông me sêik kasek iti be heva ya leng la mavî be hîsôv kisi. BSB BSB: For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 YMP Mavî vo ong vômbê nena hôêv iving Anômbêng ya ambô atu be henang ethak ong tem niŋgik anông!” BSB BSB: Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”

56 YMP Yôv me Malia hîmô hiving Elisabet hîtôm ayông lô, yôvêm me hele hê ya long ethak loŋbô. BSB BSB: Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
