Namazuʋa aHerode, mambo weJudea, mumŋe muprista waiʋa’po, wainzi Zakaria, wegoʋero raAbia; mukadzi wake waiʋa waʋanasikana ʋaAroni, zita rake rainzi Erisabete. Ʋakaŋga ʋakarurama ʋose, ʋari ʋaʋiri, pamberi paMŋari, ʋacifamba nemirairo neɀakarurama ɀose ɀaShe, ʋasina‐caʋaŋgapomerwa. Ʋakaŋga ʋasinomŋana, nokuti Erisabete wakaŋga asiŋgaɓereki, ʋuye ʋakaŋga ʋacembera ʋose ʋari ʋaʋiri.
Ɀino, wakati aciɓate‐ɓasa roʋuprista pamberi paMŋari, padzoro regoʋero rake, akagoʋerwa netsika dzoʋuprista, kuti apinde mutembere yaShe, kuzopisa ɀinonhuwira. Ʋanhu ʋazhinji ʋose ʋakaŋga ʋacinyeŋgetera kunze neŋguʋa yokupisa ɀinonhuwira. Ipapo mutumŋa waShe wakaʋonekwa naye, amire kurudyi rweartari yeɀinonhuwira. Zakaria akamanikidzwa acimuʋona; kutya kukamuwira. Mutumŋa akati kwaari: Usatya Zakaria, nokuti kukumbira kwako kwanzwika, mukadzi wako Erisabete ucakuɓerekera mŋanakomana, ugomutumidza zita rinonzi Johane. Iwe ucaʋa nomufaro nokufarisisa, naʋazhinji ʋacafarira kuɓerekwa kwake. Nokuti iye ucaʋa mukuru pamberi paShe; haaŋgatoŋgonwi waini neɀinoɓata; ucazadzwa noMŋeya Mutȿene kubva paɗumbu ramai ʋake. Ucadzorera ʋazhinji ʋaʋana ʋaIsraeri kunaShe, Mŋari waʋo. Ucafamba pamberi pake noMŋeya nesimba raEria, kuti adzorere mŋoyo yamadziɓaɓa kuʋana, naʋasiŋgatereri kuʋucenjeri bgaʋakarurama, agadzirire Ishe ʋanhu ʋakamugadzirirwa kwaɀo. Zakaria akati kumutumŋa: Iɀoɀi ndicaɀiziʋa seiko? Nokuti ini ndaʋa mutana, nomukadzi waŋgu wacembera. Mutumŋa akapindura, akati kwaari: Ndini Gabrieri, ndinomira pamberi paMŋari; ndatumŋa kuti nditaure newe, ndikuparidzire mashoko awa akanaka. Tarira, ucanyarara, usiŋgagoni kutaura, kuȿikira zuʋa rinoitwa ɀinhu iɀi, nokuti hauna‐kutenda mashoko aŋgu, acaitika neŋguʋa yawo. Ʋanhu ʋakaŋga ʋakamirira Zakaria ʋakashamiswa nokunonoka kwake mutembere. Ɀino wakati aciɓuɗa, akasagona kutaura naʋo; ʋakaziʋa kuti wakaŋga aʋona ciratidzo mutembere; iye akaramba acininira namaʋoko, akaramba ari mbeʋeʋe. Ɀino mazuʋa okushumira kwake akati apera, akaenda kumba kwake.
Mazuʋa iwayo akati apfuʋura, Erisabete mukadzi wake akatora mimba, akaɀiʋanza mŋedzi mishanu, aciti: Ndiɀo ɀandakaitirwa naShe namazuʋa aakanditarira, kuti abvise kunyadzwa kwaŋgu pakati paʋanhu.
Nomŋedzi wecitanhatu mutumŋa Gabrieri wakatumŋa naMŋari kuguta reGarirea, rinonzi Nazareta, kumhandara yakaŋga yanyeŋgwa nomurume, wainzi Josefa, weimba yaDavidi; zita remhandara rainzi Maria. Mutumŋa akapinda kwaari, akati: Kwaziwa, iwe wakaropafadzwa, Ishe unewe! Iye akavunduswa kwaɀo neshoko iro, akafuŋga kuti kukwazisa kwakaɗaro ndokweiko. Ipapo mutumŋa akati kwaari: Usatya Maria, nokuti wanzwirwa nyasha naMŋari. Tarira, ucaʋa nemimba, ucaɀara mŋanakomana, ugomutumidza zita rinonzi Jesu. Iye ucaʋa mukuru, ucanzi Mŋanakomana woWokumsoro‐soro; Ishe Mŋari ucamupa cigaro coʋushe caɓaɓa ʋake Davidi. Ucaɓata imba yaJakobo nokusiŋgaperi, noʋushe bgake habguŋgaʋi nomugumo. Ipapo Maria akati kumutumŋa: Iɀoɀi ɀiŋgaʋa seiko, ɀandisiŋgaziʋi murume? Mutumŋa akapindura, akati kwaari: Mŋeya Mutȿene ucaʋuya pamsoro pako, nesimba roWokumsoro‐soro ricakufukidza; saka ico citȿene cicaɓerekwa cicanzi: Mŋanakomana waMŋari. Ʋuye tarira, Erisabete, hama yako, naiye waʋa nemimba ʋo yomŋanakomana pakucembera kwake; mŋedzi uno waʋa wecitanhatu kunaiye wainzi haaɓereki. Nokuti hakuneshoko raMŋari ricashaiwa simba. Ipapo Maria akati: Tarirai, ndiri mushandiri waShe; ndiitirwe haŋgu seɀamataura. Mutumŋa akabva kwaari.
Namazuʋa iwayo Maria akasimuka, akakurumidza kuenda kunyika yamakomo, kuguta reJudea; akapinda mumba maZakaria, akakwazisa Erisabete. Ɀino Erisabete wakati acinzwa kukwazisa kwaMaria, mŋana akakwakuka muɗumbu rake; ipapo Erisabete akazadzwa noMŋeya Mutȿene, akaɗana nenzwi guru, akati: Wakaropafadzwa iwe pakati paʋakadzi, neciɓereko ceɗumbu rako cakaropafadzwa! Ɀaita seiko kwandiri, kuti ndamutswa namai ʋaShe waŋgu? Nokuti, tarira, inzwi rokukwazisa kwako rakati riciȿika munzeʋe dzaŋgu, mŋana akakwakuka nomufaro muɗumbu raŋgu. Wakaropafadzwa iye mukadzi wakatenda, nokuti ɀakataurwa naShe kwaari ɀicaitika. Maria akati:
Mŋoyo waŋgu unokudza Ishe,

Akadzosera ʋafumi ʋasina;
Wakaɓatsira Israeri, muranda wake,
Kuti araŋgarire ŋgoni dzake,
(Seɀaakareʋa kumadziɓaɓa eɗu),
KunaAbrahama nokurudzi rwake nokusiŋgaperi.
Maria akagara naye mŋedzi ineŋge semitatu, akadzokera kumusha kwake.
