In the days of
Herodes, King of Judea, there came to be some priest out of Abyah's shift named
Zakaryah, and his wife, whose name was
Elishabet, was of Aaron's daughters. Moreover, both were
righteous in God's sight, living their lives blamelessly by all the commandments
and righteous judgements of Master, but for them, there was no child, forasmuch
as Elishabet was barren and both had got on in their years.
(Luke 1:5-7) Now
it came to be, since he performed sacred duties before God in the
proceeding of his shift, that he got by lot, according to the custom of
the priesthood, to enter into Master's temple to offer incense, and
outside, at the hour of incense {offering}, all the multitude of the
people was praying. Moreover, Master's messenger appeared to him standing
from out of the right side of the altar of incense, so Zakaryah,
having caught the sight, became agitated, and fear fell upon him. However,
the messenger said to him: "Have no fear Zakaryah,
for your supplication was given attention, and your wife Elishabet
will give birth to a son for you, and you will call his name Yohan, and
to you, there will be joy and jubilation, and many will be rejoiced over
his birth for he shall be great in the sight of Master, and he will be
filled with holy spirit still {not yet} out of his mother's womb, but he
certainly should not drink wine and alcohol. Also, he will turn back
many of the children of Yishrael over to Master, their God, and he will go
ahead right in front of Him in the spirit and power of Elyah, to turn back
over to children the hearts of parents, {to turn back} the incredulous
ones to the thoughtfulness of the righteous, {and} to make ready for
Master an equipped people." And
Zakaryah said to the messenger: "What will get me to
know that? For I am an old man and my wife has gotten on in her
years." As an answer, the messenger said to him: "I am Gabriel,
who has been standing next to God, in His sight, and I was commissioned to
speak to you and declare these good messages to you. And lo
and behold! You will be mute and not able to speak until that day
producing these things come, because you did no believe in my
enunciations, which will be fulfilled in their due time."
(Luke 1:8-20)
Now the people were anticipating Zakaryah and were
wondering at his lingering in the temple, but on coming out, he was unable
to speak, so he was gesturing to them, and they recognised that he had
seen a vision in the temple. And he continued to be mute, and it came to
be, as the days of his ministry were fulfilled, that he went away to his
house. Moreover, after these days, his wife Elishabet conceived and hid
herself five months saying: "Thus has Master designed, in which
days He considered to remove my discredit among mankind".
(Luke 1:21-25)
Now
in the sixth month, Gabri'el the messenger was commissioned [by / from]
God into a city of Galilaia (the name of which is Nazaret), toward
a virgin who had been engaged to a man named Yoseph, out of the house of
David; and
the name of the virgin was Mariam. Entering
toward her then, (the messenger*) said: "Rejoice, Graced
one; Master is with you (blessed one among
women*)". Moreover,
(catching the sight,*) she was startled over [the / his] enunciation,
and was pondering what sort of greeting this could be. The messenger
then said to her: "Do not fear Mariam, for you found grace
with God and lo and behold!
you will conceive in {your} womb, and you will give birth to a son, and you will
name him Jesus. This one shall be
great, and he will be called Son of the Most High, and Master God will give him
the throne of David his father, and he will reign
over the house of Jacob into eternity, and there shall be no end of his
kingship". Moreover
Mariam said to the messenger: "How shall that be, since I am no
intimate with a man?" So,
in answer, the messenger said to her: 'Holy Spirit will fall upon
you, and the power of the Most-High will overshadow you, hence The one
born holy (out of you*) will be called Son
of God. And
lo-and-behold! your kinswoman Elishabet: she has conceived a son in her
old age, and this is to her the sixth month, the so-called barren, because
no utterance with God will be impracticable.' So
Mariam said: 'Behold! Master's servant girl. May it happen to
me according to your words'. And The Messenger departed from her.
(Luke 1:26-38)
