Okuzaarwa kwa Yohaana Omubatiza nikurangwa

¹¹ Malaika wa Mukama yamubonekera, ayemeriire ha rubaju rw'obulyo rw'ekiswa nambere baayoterraga omugaju.

¹² Zakaliya obu yamurozire yayekanga, yatiina muno.

¹³ Baitu malaika yamugambira ati: “Zakaliya, leka kutiina. Okusaba kwawe Ruhanga akuhuliire; mukazi waawe Elizabbeti alikuzarra omwana w'obwojo, olimuruka ibara lye Yohaana.

¹⁴ Mulikyanganuka muno kandi mulisemererwa, n'abandi baingi balisemererwa habw'okuzaarwa kwe;

¹⁸ Nubwo Zakaliya yakagwize malaika ati: “Kinu nsobora nta kukinanukira? Nyowe ngurusire, na mukazi wange akaikwire.”

¹⁹ Malaika yamugarukamu ati: “Ninyowe Gabulyeri anyakwemerra omumaiso ga Ruhanga. Ntumirwe kubaza na iwe n'okukumanyisa amakuru ganu amarungi.

²⁰ Hurra nu, habw'okutaikiriza obukwenda bwange obulihikirra omu kasumi kabwo, oraafa omunwa, oikale otarukubaza okuhika ha kiro ebi byona obu birihikirra.”

²¹ Omu kasumi ako abantu bakaba bategeriize Zakaliya nibahunirra kandi nibeekaguza ekimukereriize omunju ya Ruhanga.

²² Obu yaturukire aheeru atasobole kubaza nabo, nubwo baamanya nkooku abonekiirwe omunju egi; kandi uwe habw'okulemwa kugamba, akabeesa engaro.

²³ Obusumi bwe obw'okuheereza obu bwahoire, yagaruka omuka ye.

²⁴ Obu haahingwireho ebiro, mukazi we Elizabbeti yatwara enda, kandi yayesereka omunju kumara ameezi ataano, naagamba ati:

²⁵ “MUKAMA nukwo ankozire ati, obu yasiimire kunyihaho ensoni omu bantu.”

Okuzaarwa kwa Yesu nikurangwa

²⁶ Elizabbeti obu akaba aina enda y'ameezi mukaaga, nubwo Ruhanga yatumire malaika Gabulyeri omu rubuga rwa Galiraaya orwetwa Nazareeti,

²⁷ hali omwisiki empikirre, ow'akaba ajumbiirwe omusaija, ibara lye Yosefu, ow'omu ruganda rwa Daudi; ibara ly'omwisiki ogu nuwe Mariya.

²⁸ Malaika akaija nambere ali yamuramukya ati: “Mirembe, iwe aijwire emigisa, MUKAMA ali na iwe!”

²⁹ Mariya, ebigambo ebi bikamukanga muno, nukwo kwekaguza amakuru g'okuramukya oku.

³⁰ Nubwo malaika yamugambiire ati: “Mariya, leka kutiina, habwokuba Ruhanga akusiimire.

³¹ Hati noija kutwara enda, olizaara omwana w'obwojo, olimuruka ibara lye Yesu.

³² Aliba mukuru kandi alyetwa Omwana w'Anyakuli haiguru muno; MUKAMA Ruhanga alimwikaliza ha kitebe kya isenkuru Daudi,

³³ kandi alirema abaijukuru ba Yakobbo ebiro byona, n'obukama bwe tibulihwaho.”

³⁴ Baitu Mariya yakaguza malaika ati: “Eki kisoboka kita? Nyowe kantamanyire musaija.”

³⁵ Malaika yamugarukamu ati: “Mwoyo Ahikiriire alikwizira, kandi n'amaani g'Ogu Anyakuli haiguru muno galikuswekerra. Omwana ow'alizaarwa nikyo alyeterwa ahikiriire, kandi Omwana wa Ruhanga.

³⁶ Dora, mwenekati wanyu Elizabbeti, ou baayeetaga ngumba, hati aina enda y'ameezi mukaaga, kandi kunu mukaikuru;

³⁷ habwokuba busaho ekirema Ruhanga.”

³⁸ Nubwo Mariya yagambire ati: “Nyowe ndi hanu, omuzaana wa MUKAMA; kinkolerwe nkooku ogambire.” Aho malaika yamuburaho.

Mariya naabungira Elizabbeti

³⁹ Omu biro ebi Mariya akaimukya, yagenda bwango omunsi y'ensozi, omu kyaro kya Buyudaaya.

⁴⁰ Yataaha omunju ya Zakaliya, yaramukya Elizabbeti.

⁴¹ Kandi Elizabbeti obu yahuliire okuramukya kwa Mariya, omwana yazaana omu ndi ye. Elizabbeti yaijura Mwoyo Ahikiriire,

⁴² nukwo kugamba n'iraka likooto ati: “Oli w'omugisa omu bakazi boona! N'omwana omunda yawe aina omugisa!

⁴³ Kyandugira nkaha nyowe kubungirwa nyina MUKAMA wange?

⁴⁴ Habwokuba obu mpuliire okuramukya kwawe, omwana yazaana omunda yange habw'omuhimbo.

⁴⁵ W'omugisa onu ayaikiriize ekigambo kya MUKAMA nkooku kirihikirra hali uwe!”

Ekizina kya Mariya

⁴⁶ Mariya yagamba ati: “Omutima gwange nigukugiza MUKAMA,

⁴⁷ n'omwoyo gwange nigusemerererwa Ruhanga Omujuni wange,

⁴⁸ habwokuba arozire okwebundaaza kw'omuzaana we! Dora, okuruga hati abantu ab'obusinge bwona baraanyetaga w'omugisa;

⁴⁹ habwokuba Omusobozi wa byona akankorra ebikuru, n'ibara lye niryera.

⁵⁰ Obusinge n'obusinge agirra embabazi boona abamutiina.

⁵¹ Omukono gwe akagukozesa eby'amaani, ararangize ab'emyehembo omu biteekerezo by'emitima yabo,

⁵² abingire ab'obusobozi ha bitebe byabo, yanyumiza abaculeezi;

⁵³ abajara abaigusize ebirungi, abaguuda ababingire ngaro nsa.

⁵⁴ Akonyiire Isirairi omwiru we, obu yaijukire kwoleka embabazi ze

⁵⁵ nkooku yaraganiize Abburahamu na baijukuru be ebiro byona.”

⁵⁶ Mariya akamara omwa Elizabbeti ameezi nk'asatu, hanyuma yagarukayo owaabu.

Okuzaarwa kwa Yohaana Omubatiza

⁵⁷ Akasumi k'Elizabbeti ak'okuzaara kaahika, yazaara omwana w'obwojo.

⁵⁸ Abataahi na beene baabo obu baahuliire nkooku MUKAMA yamugiriire embabazi, boona baasemererwa hamu nawe.

⁵⁹ Omwana obu yahikize ebiro munaana, baija kumusara; bakaba nibagaonza kumuruka Zakaliya, nk'ibara lya ise;

⁶⁰ baitu nyina yabagambira ati: “Nangwa, naija kurukwa Yohaana.”

⁶¹ Baamugarukamu bati: “Omu beene banyu busamu n'omu arukwetwa ibara eri.”

⁶² Baakozesa oburorwaho kukaguza Zakaliya abamanyise ibara eri arukwenda kuruka omwana.

⁶³ Uwe yasaba eky'okuhandiikaho; yahandiika ati: “Ibara lye nuwe Yohaana.” Boona baahunirra.

⁶⁴ Ahonaaho akanwa ke kaiguka n'orulimi rwe rwabohorroka, yatandika kubaza naakugiza Ruhanga.

⁶⁵ Abataahi boona baatiina. Amakuru ago gaararanga omu nsi yoona ey'ensozi eya Buyudaaya.

⁶⁶ Boona abaagahuliire baagata ha mutima nibeekaguza bati: “Mara omwana ogu aliba ata?” Habwokuba omukono gwa MUKAMA gukaba gumuroho.

Ekizina kya Zakaliya

⁶⁸ “Akugizibwe MUKAMA Ruhanga wa Isirairi; habwokuba aizire kucungura abantu be.

⁶⁹ Atwimukiize omujuni ow'obusobozi, omu ruganda rwa Daudi omwiru we,

⁷⁰ nkooku yagambiire omu barangi be abarukwera okuruga ira lyona:

⁷¹ kutujuna abanyazigwa baitu, n'okutwiha omu mikono y'abo boona abarukutunoba.

⁷⁸ Kandi habw'embabazi nyingi eza MUKAMA waitu, emamba enyakuruga omwiguru, obu erisara habwaitu,

⁷⁹ erimulikira abo abaikara omu mwirima n'omu kiituuru ky'okufa, kandi eriteerekereza ebigere byaitu omu muhanda gw'obusinge.”

⁸⁰ Omwana akakura, yaba w'amaani omu mutima, kandi akaikara omu irungu okuhika obu yayeyolekiire Abaisirairi.
