¹Dad badan waxay ku dadaaleen inay soo hagaajiyaan sheeko ku saabsan wixii dhexdayada lagu sameeyey oo la hubsaday,

¹Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,

²siday noo ogeysiiyeen kuwii tan iyo bilowgii arkay oo Ereygii u shaqeeyey.

²even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

³Sidaa darteed anigana waxaa ila wanaagsanayd inaan, anigoo tan iyo bilowgii wax walba oo dhacay aad u gartay, si hagaagsan kuugu qoro, Te'ofilosow sharaf weyn lahow,

³it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;

⁴inaad garatid hubniintii hadalkii lagu baray.

⁴that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.

⁵Wakhtigii Herodos ahaa boqorkii Yahuudiya, waxaa jiray wadaad la odhan jiray Sakariyas, oo ka mid ahaa safkii Abiya; haweenaydiisuna waxay ka mid ahayd hablihii reer Haaruun, magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Elisabed.

⁵There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

⁶Labadooduba xaq bay ku ahaayeen Ilaah hortiisa, oo qaynuunnadii iyo xukummadii Rabbiga ayay eedla'aan ku socon jireen.

⁶They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

⁷Ilmo ma ay lahayn, waayo, Elisabed madhalays bay ahayd, oo labadooduba way da'weynaayeen.

⁷But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

⁸Waxaa dhacay, intuu shuqulkii wadaadnimadii safkiisa dartiis samaynayay Ilaah hortiisa,

⁸Now it happened, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division,

⁹sida caadadii wadaadnimadu u ahayd, in shuqulkiisu ahaa inuu foox shido goortuu macbudka Rabbiga galay.

⁹according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

¹⁰Saacaddii fooxa ayaa dadkii badnaa oo dhammu dibadda ku tukanayeen.

¹⁰The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

¹¹Markaasaa waxaa isaga u soo muuqatay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo taagnayd meeshii fooxa lagu shido midigteeda.

¹¹An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

¹²Goortuu Sakariyas arkay ayuu naxay, wuuna cabsaday.

¹²Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

¹³Laakiin malaa'igtii baa ku tidhi, Ha baqin, Sakariyasow, waayo, baryadaadii waa la maqlay; afadaada Elisabedna wiil bay kuu dhali doontaa, magiciisana waxaad u bixin doontaa Yooxanaa.

¹³But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

¹⁴Waxaad heli doontaa farxad iyo rayrayn; dad badanna dhalashadiisa ayay ku farxi doonaan,

¹⁴You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.

¹⁵waayo, Rabbiga hortiisa nin weyn buu ku ahaan doonaa, mana cabbi doono khamri ama wax lagu sakhraamo. Waxaana xataa uurka hooyadiis kaga buuxsami doona Ruuxa Quduuskaa.

¹⁵For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

¹⁶Reer binu Israa'iil badidoodana ayuu Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah ku soo jeedin doonaa.

¹⁶He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God.

¹⁷Isaguna wuxuu ku hor mari doonaa ruuxii iyo xooggii Eliyaas inuu aabbayaasha qalbiyadooda ku soo jeediyo carruurta, iyo inuu caasiyiinta ku soo celiyo xigmadda kuwa xaqa ah, inuu Rabbiga u diyaargareeyo dad hagaagsan.

¹⁷He 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 prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”

¹⁸Sakariyas wuxuu malaa'igtii ku yidhi, Sidee baan waxan u garan doonaa? Waayo, anigu oday baan ahay, afadayduna waa da'weynaatay.

¹⁸Zacharias 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.”

¹⁹Malaa'igtii baa u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay Jibriil oo Ilaah hortiisa istaaga. Waxaa la ii soo diray inaan kula hadlo oo aan warkan wanaagsan kuu keeno.

¹⁹The 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.

²⁰Bal eeg, waad aamusnaan doontaa, mana hadli kari doonto, ilaa maalinta waxyaalahan dhici doonaan, waayo, waad rumaysan weyday hadalladayda wakhtigooda la oofin doono.

²⁰Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

²¹Dadkuna waxay sugayeen Sakariyas, oo waxay la yaabeen siduu macbudka ugu raagay.

²¹The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.

²²Markuu soo baxay ayuu la hadli kari waayay, markaasay garteen inuu macbudka wax ku arkay. Kolkaasuu gacanta ugu sii tilmaamayay iyaga, isagoo sii carrab la'.

²²When 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.

²³Kolkii maalmihii shuqulkiisii wadaadnimadu dhammaadeen ayuu wuxuu tegey gurigiisii.

²³It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.

²⁴Maalmahaas dabadeed afadiisa Elisabed ayaa uuraysatay, oo shan bilood ayay isqarisay iyadoo leh.

²⁴After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,

²⁵Sidaasaa Rabbigu iigu sameeyey maalmihii uu i eegay inuu ceebtayda dadka dhexdooda iiga qaado.

²⁵“Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”

²⁶Bishii lixaad Ilaah baa malaa'ig Jibriil u soo diray magaalada Galili oo Naasared la odhan jiray

²⁶Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

²⁷ilaa gabadh bikrad ah oo u doonanayd nin la odhan jiray Yuusuf oo dhashii Daa'uud ahaa; gabadhana waxaa la odhan jiray Maryan.

²⁷to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

²⁸Malaa'igtii baa u soo gashay, oo waxay ku tidhi, Nabad, adigoo nimcaysan, Rabbiga ayaa kula jira.

²⁸Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”

²⁹Markaasay hadalkii ka naxday, oo waxay isku tidhi, Maxay tahay salaantan?

²⁹But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.

³⁰Malaa'igtii baa ku tidhi, Ha baqin, Maryamay, waayo, nimco ayaad Ilaah ka heshay.

³⁰The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

³¹Bal eeg, waad uuraysan doontaa, oo wiil baad umuli doontaa, magiciisana waxaad u bixin doontaa Ciise.

³¹Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name ‘Jesus.’

³²Nin weyn buu ahaan doonaa, waxaana loogu yeedhi doonaa Wiilka Kan ugu sarreeya, Rabbiga Ilaaha ahuna wuxuu siin doonaa carshigii awowgiis Daa'uud.

³²He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David,

³³Weligiiba wuxuu boqor u ahaan doonaa dadkii Yacquub, boqornimadiisuna ma idlaan doonto.

³³and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.”

³⁴Kolkaasaa Maryan waxay malaa'igtii ku tidhi, Sidee baa waxanu ku noqon doonaan? Anigu ninna garan maayo.

³⁴Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”

³⁵Malaa'igtii waa u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Ruuxa Quduuska ah ayaa kugu soo degi doona, oo xooggii Kan ugu sarreeya ayaa hoosiis kuu noqon doona, sidaa darteed kan quduuska ah oo kaa dhalan doona waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa Wiilka Ilaah.

³⁵The 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 from you will be called the Son of God.

³⁶Bal eeg, ina-adeertaa Elisabedna wiil bay uuraysatay iyadoo da'weyn; oo tanuna waxay tii madhalays loogu yeedhi jiray u tahay bisheedii lixaad.

³⁶Behold, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

³⁷Waayo, wax aan Ilaah kari doonin ma jiro.

³⁷For everything spoken by God is possible.”

³⁸Maryan ayaa tidhi, Waa i kan, waxaan ahay addoontii Rabbiga. Sidaad u hadashay ha ii noqoto. Markaasaa malaa'igtii ka tagtay.

³⁸Mary said, “Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word.” The angel departed from her.

³⁹Maalmahaas Maryan baa kacday, oo waxay dhaqso u tagtay dhulkii buuraha lahaa ilaa magaalo ka mid ah reer Yahuudah,

³⁹Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,

⁴⁰oo waxay gashay gurigii Sakariyas, oo salaantay Elisabed.

⁴⁰and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

⁴¹Oo waxaa dhacay goortii Elisabed salaantii Maryan maqashay in ilmihii uurkeeda ku boodbooday; Elisabedna waxaa ka buuxsamay Ruuxa Quduuska ah.

⁴¹It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

⁴²Markaasay cod dheer ku qaylisay oo tidhi, Dumarka dhexdooda waad ku barakaysan tahay, oo midhaha uurkaaga waa barakaysan yahay.

⁴²She called out with a loud voice, and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

⁴³Xaggee waxanu iiga yimaadeen in Sayidkayga hooyadiis iigu timaado?

⁴³Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

⁴⁴Bal eeg, markii codkii salaantaadu dhegahayga ku dhacay, ilmaha uurkayga ku jira ayaa farxad la boodbooday.

⁴⁴For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!

⁴⁵Waxaa barakaysan tii rumaysatay; waayo, waxyaalihii xagga Rabbiga looga sheegay ayay dhici doonaan.

⁴⁵Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

⁴⁶Maryanna waxay tidhi, Naftaydu Rabbigay weynaynaysaa,

⁴⁶Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.

⁴⁷Ruuxayguna wuxuu ku reyreeyey Ilaaha Badbaadiyahayga ah.

⁴⁸Waayo, wuxuu eegay hoosaysnimada addoontiisa, Bal eeg, tan iyo hadhow qarniyada oo dhammu waxay iigu yeedhi doonaan tan barakaysan.

⁴⁸for he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

⁴⁹Waayo, kan xoogga leh ayaa waxyaalo waaweyn ii sameeyey; Magiciisuna waa Quduus,

⁴⁹For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

⁵⁰Tan iyo ab ka ab naxariistiisu waxay gaadhaa Kuwa isaga ka cabsada.

⁵¹Wuxuu xoog ku sameeyey gacantiisa, Oo kuwii fikirradii qalbigoodii ku kibray ayuu kala firdhiyey.

⁵¹He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

⁵²Kuwii xoogga lahaa ayuu carshiyadoodii ka soo dejiyey Oo kuwii hooseeyey ayuu sarraysiiyey.

⁵²He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.

⁵³Kuwii gaajaysnaa ayuu wax wanaagsan ka dhergiyey, Kuwii hodanka ahaana iyagoo madhan ayuu diray.

⁵³He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.

⁵⁴Midiidinkiisii Israa'iil ayuu caawiyey Inuu xusuusto inuu u naxariisto

⁵⁵Ibraahim iyo farcankiisii weligoodba (Siduu awowayaasheennii ula hadlay).

⁵⁵As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever.”

⁵⁶Maryan waxay iyada la joogtay abbaaraha saddex bilood, markaasay gurigeeda ku noqotay.

⁵⁶Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.

⁵⁷Hadda Elisabed wakhtigii ay umuli lahayd ayaa la joogay, oo wiil bay dhashay.

⁵⁷Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.

⁵⁸Derisyadeedii iyo xigaalkeedii ayay maqleen siduu Rabbigu naxariistiisii ugu weyneeyey iyada, wayna la farxeen.

⁵⁸Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.

⁵⁹Waxaa dhacay inay maalintii siddeedaad u yimaadeen inay wiilkii gudaan, oo waxayna u bixiyeen magicii aabbihiis Sakariyas.

⁵⁹It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of the father.

⁶⁰Kolkaasaa hooyadiis u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Sidaas ma aha; waxaase loogu yeedhi doonaa Yooxanaa.

⁶⁰His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”

⁶¹Waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Xigaalkaaga kuma jiro qof magacaas loo bixiyey.

⁶¹They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”

⁶²Waxay aabbihiis gacan ugu tilmaameen oo weyddiiyeen wuxuu doonayay in loogu yeedho.

⁶²They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.

⁶³Markaasuu wuxuu weyddiistay loox oo ku qoray, isagoo leh, Magiciisu waa Yooxanaa. Wayna wada yaabeen.

⁶³He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.

⁶⁴Kolkiiba afkiisii ayaa furmay, oo carrabkiisiina waa debcay, markaasuu hadlay oo Ilaah ammaanay.

⁶⁴His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.

⁶⁵Dadkii agtooda joogay oo dhammu way wada cabsadeen, oo hadalladan oo dhan waa lagaga hadlayay dalkii buuraha lahaa oo Yahuudiya oo dhan.

⁶⁵Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.

⁶⁶Kuwa waxyaalahaas maqlay oo dhan ayaa qalbigooda geliyey oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Haddaba ilmahanu muxuu noqon doonaa? Waayo, gacantii Rabbiga ayaa la jirtay isaga.

⁶⁶All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.

⁶⁷Markaasaa aabbihiis Sakariyas waxaa ka buuxsamay Ruuxa Quduuska ah, waxna wuu sii sheegay isagoo leh,

⁶⁷His father, Zacharias, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

⁶⁸Ha ammaanmo Rabbiga ah Ilaaha Israa'iil, Waayo, dadkiisii ayuu soo booqday oo furtay.

⁶⁸“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;

⁶⁹Badbaadiye xoog leh ayuu inoogu kiciyey Gurigii midiidinkiisa Daa'uud,

⁷⁰(Siduu afkii nebiyadiisii quduuska ahaa tan iyo bilowgii uga hadli jiray),

⁷¹Inuu inaga badbaadiyo cadaawayaasheenna iyo gacanta kuwa ina neceb oo dhan,

⁷²Iyo inuu u naxariisto awowayaasheen, Iyo inuu axdigiisii quduuska ahaa xusuusto,

⁷²to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,

⁷³Oo ahaa dhaartii uu awoweheennii Ibraahim ugu dhaartay,

⁷⁴Inuu ina siiyo innagoo cadaawayaasheenna gacmahooda laynaga bixiyey Inaynu baqdinla'aan isaga ugu hawshoonno

⁷⁴to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,

⁷⁵Quduusnimada iyo xaqnimada isaga hortiisa cimrigeenna oo dhan.

⁷⁶Adiguna, ilma yahow, waxaa laguugu yeedhi doonaa nebigii Kan ugu sarreeya, Waayo, waxaad hor mari doontaa Rabbiga hortiisa inaad jidadkiisa diyaargaraysid;

⁷⁶And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

⁷⁷Oo aad dadkiisa ogeysiisid badbaadada Ee dembidhaafkooda ah,

⁷⁸Ee laga hela naxariista weyn ee Ilaaheenna, Tan qorraxda soo baxda xagga sare inaga soo booqan doonta,

⁷⁸because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,

⁷⁹Inay iftiimiso kuwa fadhiya gudcurka iyo hooskii dhimashada, Iyo inay cagaheenna jidkii nabadda ku kaxayso,Wiilkuna waa koray oo ruuxuu ka xoogoobay, wuxuuna joogay cidlada ilaa maalintii uu Israa'iil istusi lahaa.

⁷⁹to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

⁸⁰Wiilkuna waa koray oo ruuxuu ka xoogoobay, wuxuuna joogay cidlada ilaa maalintii uu Israa'iil istusi lahaa.

⁸⁰The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
