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

¹POT y guaja megae y umapolo y canaeñija para ufannaregla y cuentos nu y ayo na güinaja na esta guefmaasegura gui entalo jame,

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

²Jaftaemanoja ninaejam ni guine y tutujoña y testigojam ni y malie, nu y yan y ministrojam y sinangan;

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;

³Y jinasoco mauleg locue nu guajo, sa juguefegaga sinengcabales todo y güinaja guine y tutujonña, na jutuguie jao pot y inaregla, jago guesmagas na Teofilo;

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.

⁵¶ Guaja gui jaanin Herodes, ray guiya Judea, un pale, naanña si Sacharias, y clasen Abias; y asaguaña guinin sija jagan Aaron ya y naaña si Elisabet.

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

⁶Este na dos mauleg gui sanmenan Yuus, jajananao gui todo y lay yan y tinago Señot, ti lalatdiyon.

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

⁷Ya taya patgonñija; sa si Elisabet tifáfañago; yan y dos megae jaaniñija.

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

⁸¶ Ya jumuyong, anae mañeñetbe si Sacharias, gui ofisio y pale gui menan Yuus, gui chechon y clasiña,

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

⁹Jaftaemanoja y costumbren y ofisio y pale, y chechoña na jumalom gui guimayuus ya jasonggue y paopao.

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

¹⁰Ya todo y linajyan taotao mangaegue gui sanjiyong manmananaetae gui oran paopao.

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

¹¹Ya mato guiya güiya y angjet y Señot, na gaegue gui agapa y attat y paopao.

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

¹²Ya inestotba si Sacharias anae jalie, ya mato minaañao gui jiloña.

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.

¹³Lao y angjet ilegña nu güiya: Sacharias, chamo maaañao; sa y tinaetaemo este majungog; ya y asaguamo as Elisabet ufañago y patgon laje, ya umafanaan naanña si Juan.

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

¹⁴Ya uguaja jao minagof yan alegria; ya y megae umagof nu y mafañaguña.

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.

¹⁵Sa udangculo güe gui menan Señot; ya ti uguimen bino ni metgot na guinem ya ubulagüe Espiritu Santo, guinin y tiyan nanaña.

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

¹⁶Ya megae gui famaguon Israel, ujabira nu y Señot, Yuusñija.

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.”

¹⁷Ya ujanaogüe gui menan y mataña nu y espiritu yan y ninasiñan Elias, para unanalo y corasonñija y mañaena guiya y famaguon, yan y manchátmatago ni y tiningo y manunas; para ufamauleg nu y Señot y taotao, ni y esta fanmauleg para güiya.

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.”

¹⁸Ya ilegña si Sacharias nu y angjet: Jaftaemano jutungo este? sa guajo bijoyo ya y asaguajo megae jaaniña.

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.

¹⁹Ya manope y angjet ya ilegña nu güiya: Guajo si Gabriel, na gaegue yo tumotojgue gui menan Yuus; ya guajo esta matago na jucuentusejao, ya junaejao ni este mauleg na sinangan.

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.”

²⁰Ya estagüe, na jago udojao ya ti siña uncuentos, asta y jaane nae este macumple estesija; sa y ti unjongue y sinanganjo, ni umacumple y tiempoña.

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

²¹Ya y taotao sija manmannanangga as Sacharias, ya ninafanmanman ni y inapmamña gui guimayuus.

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.

²²Ya anae jumuyong, ti siña umadingane sija; ya matungo na manlie un linie gui guimayuus; lao güiya sigue di fumatinas y señatja; ya sumaga udo.

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

²³Ya anae esta munjayan y jaanin y ministroña, jumanao para y guimaña.

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

²⁴¶ Ya despues di ayo sija na jaane mapotgue y asaguaña as Elisabet, ya janana sinco na meses, ya ilegña:

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

²⁵Taemanoja y Señot jafatinas para guajo, este sija na jaane nae jaatanyo para unajanao y mamajlaojo gui entalo taotao sija.

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

²⁶Y mina saes na mes, y angjet Gabriel esta tumago guine as Yuus, para un siuda guiya Galilea, ni y naanña y Nasaret,

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.

²⁷Guiya un bitgen, nobia y un laje naanña si José, familian David; ya y naan y bitgen si Maria.

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

²⁸Ya jumalom manu nae estaba güe, ya ilegña: Jafa tatatmana jao na guefmaborese jao; y Señot gaegue guiya

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

²⁹Lao pot este na sinangan, ninaestotba güe, ya jajajaso na jaftaemano este na sinaluda.

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

³⁰Entonses y angjet ilegña nu güiya: Maria, chamo maaañao; sa unsoda y finaborese gui menan Yuus.

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

³¹Ya estagüe, na unmapotgue gui tiyanmo ya unfañago un patgon laje, ya umafanaan y naaaña si Jesus.

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,

³²Ya udangculo güe, ya umafanaan Lajin Gueftaquilo: ya y Señot Yuus ufannae güe y tronon David tataña.

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

³³Ya ugobietna gui guima Jacob siesiempreja; ya y raenoña ugagaegue taejinecog.

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

³⁴Entonses si Maria ilegña ni y angjet: Jafa jumuyong este? sa ti jutungo laje.

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.

³⁵Ya manope y angjet, ya ilegña nu güiya: Y Espiritu Santo umamaela guiya jago, ya y ninasiña y Gueftaquilo jafatinas y anineng gui jilomo; enaomina ayo na Santos na umafañago, umafanaan Lajin Yuus.

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.

³⁶Ya, estagüe, si Elisabet, parentesmo, locue güiya mapotgue un laje gui inamcoña; ya este y mina saes na mes nu güiya na mafanaan tifáfañago.

³⁷For everything spoken by God is possible.”

³⁷Sa y sinangan Yuus, taya uno na taeninasiña.

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

³⁸Entonses si Maria ilegña: Estagüe y tentagon Señot; ufatinas guiya guajo taemanoja y sinanganmo. Ya y angjet mapos guiya güiya.

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

³⁹¶ Ya ayo na jaane sija, cajulo si Maria ya jumanao gusise para un tano taquilo, guiya un siudan Juda;

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

⁴⁰Ya jumalom gui guima Sacharias ya jasaluda si Elisabet.

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

⁴¹Ya jumuyong taegüije na anae jajungog si Elisabet y sinaludan Maria, y patgon tumayog gui jalom tiyanña; si Elisabet bula Espiritu Santo,

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

⁴²Ya umagang ni dangculo na inagang ya ilegña: Dichosojao gui entalo y famalaoan, ya dichoso y tinegchan tiyanmo.

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

⁴³Ya guine manu este guiya guajo, na mato guiya guajo y nanan y Señotto.

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

⁴⁴Sa estagüe, na anae mato y inagang y sinaludamo gui talangajo, y patgon, gui jalom tiyanjo, tumayog ni minagofña.

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

⁴⁵Ya dichosogüe y jumonggue; sa uguaja y quinimple gui güinaja, ni esta masangane güe ni guinin y Señot.

⁴⁶Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.

⁴⁶¶ Entonses ilegña si Maria: Janadangculo y antijo y Señot,

⁴⁷Ya y espiritujo ninamagof gui as Yuus y Satbadotto.

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

⁴⁸Sa jaatan y dinespresiaoña y tentgoña; sa estagüe na desde pago jumafanaan dichosa ni todo y generasion.

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

⁴⁹Sa ayo na guaja ninasiña, jafatinas guiya guajo dangculo na güinaja; ya santos y naanña.

⁵⁰Ya y minaaseña gaegue gui generasion taotao sija, gui jiloñija ni manmaañao nu güiya.

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

⁵¹Ya pot y canaeña jafanue minetgot; janafañuja y sobetbio sija gui jinason y corasonñija.

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

⁵²Ya jayute papa y magas gui tronoñija, ya jajatsa y manumitde.

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

⁵³Ya y manñalang janafanbula ni y minauleg; ya y manmigüinaja janafanjanao yan y tae sinajguan.

⁵⁴Ya jaayuda si Israel tentagoña, para ufanjaso y miñaase,

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

⁵⁵(Taemano y jasangane y mañaenata), as Abraham yan y semiyaña para todo y tiempo.

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

⁵⁶Si Maria sumaga yan güiya calang tres meses ya despues jumanao asto iyasija.

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

⁵⁷¶ Ya si Elisabet jacumple y tiempo nae para ufañago; ya mañago un patgon laje.

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

⁵⁸Ya anae majungog ni tiguangña yan y parientesña, na si Yuus janadangculo y minaaseña guiya güiya; ya manmagof yan güiya.

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.

⁵⁹Ya susede na y mina ocho na jaane manmato para umasircunsida y patgon: ya malagoñija umafanaan ni y naan tataña as Sacharias.

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

⁶⁰Ya manope y nanaña ya ilegña: Aje, sa umafanaan si Juan.

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

⁶¹Ya ilegñija nu güiya: Taya gui manparientesmo mafanaan nu este na naan.

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

⁶²Ya maseñat y tataña, ya mafaesen jafa malagoña umafanaan.

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

⁶³Ya mangagao un diquique na tabla ya jatugue ilegña: Si Juan naanña. Ya todo sija ninafanmanman.

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

⁶⁴Ya enseguidas mababa y pachotña, ya mapula y jilaña, ya cumuentos, jabendise si Yuus.

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

⁶⁵Ya guaja minaañao gui jiloñija todo y mañasaga gui oriyañija: ya gui todo y tano taquilo guiya Judea, masasangan este sija na sinangan.

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.

⁶⁶Ya todosija y jumujungog jaadaje gui corasonñija ya ilegñija: Jafa jumuyong este na patgon? Sa y canae Yuus gaegue guiya güiya.

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

⁶⁷¶ Ya si Sacharias, tataña, bula Espiritu Santo ya japrofetisa, ilegña:

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

⁶⁸Bendito y Señot, y Yuus y Israel; sa jabisita ya jafatinas y redension, para taotaoña,

⁶⁹Ya janacajulo para jita un canggelon y satbasion, gui guima y tentagoña as David,

⁷⁰(Taegüijija na jasasangan gui pachot y mañantos na profetaña, ni esta gaegue guinin tutujonña y tano),

⁷¹Satbasion gui y enemiguta yan gui canae todo y chumatliijit;

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

⁷²Para umafanue y minaaseña gui mañaenata, ya umajaso y santos na tratoña;

⁷³Y juramento ni manjula as Abraham ni tatata,

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

⁷⁴Na güiya unaejit linibreta gui canae y enemiguta ya utasetbe güe sin minaañao,

⁷⁵Y sinantos yan y tinunas gui menaña todo y jaanita.

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,

⁷⁶Ya, jago, patgon, unmafanaan profetan y Gueftaquilo; sa unjanao gui menan y Señot para unfamauleg y chalanña;

⁷⁷Para ufanamatungo y satbasion gui taotaoña ni y maasiin y isaoñija,

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

⁷⁸Pot causa y corason y minaaseña y Yuusta, anae y candit ogaan guinin taquilo, jabisitajit,

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

⁷⁹Para junae inina y manmatatachong gui jemjom yan y anineng y finatae; para ufanue y patasta gui chalan y pas.

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

⁸⁰Ya y patgon lumala ya mumetgot gui espiritu ya sumaga gui desierto asta y jaane anae esta matungo guiya Israel.
