5 Naherode vaari aya amwene o Uyudea, ahawo anamilhohi eehaniya Azakariya, o nlhoko wa opochera ishaani eehaniya Naabiya. Ahanu aya Azakariya eehaniya Naelisabeti, o nihimo na anamilhohi Naharuni. 6 Onkhaye elhi ayo aari attu aapanga chittu cho ikekhiaye mmiholho wa Nlhuku, attwaraka iphiro cho malhehero ni ikano cha Athithi wo uhikhalha ni nlhatu wo ukhuwachiya. 7 Nansho yaari ahirina ashaana ukhalhawaya Naelisabeti yaari o uhiyara, ni ayo onkhaye ayo aari anoolhuvanlhe chinene.
8 Nihuku nimoka Azakariya yaari avaraka ntheko aya wo upochera ishaani Unupani wa Nlhuku. 9 Yaari vaathanlhiye aya thoko chaari aya chipangiyaka ni opochera ishaani, urwaa uutusherani ubani umadhubahuni. Paahi etu nkayaarwaa u Inupa ya Athithi. 10 Attu akina yaari vathe awehereraka anlhapelhaka Nlhuku ubani vaatusheriya aya.
11 Nnepa wo wiirimu wa Athithi nkawaakhumelhelha mpaani mmo, nkaweemelha wiimonono wo madhubahu mwaatusheriya ubani. 12 Azakariya vonne aya nnepa uyo nkayaathukumelha ni woova chinene. 13 Nansho nnepa wo wiirimu nkaweera, “Azakariya, nhoove!

Mmweeke mwaamwiihana nchina nawe Yohana. 14 Kihochuwelha wiira nnowa mwaateelhiya chinene, ni attu enchi akina anowa uteelhiya chiicho vanohalha awe uyaria! 15 Nowa ukhalha ntu mulhupalhe mmiholho wa Athithi.

Toka vanohalha awe uyaria ni anumwanawe noowa aachariya Iphumu ya Nlhuku, 16 ni weewananiha rata attu enchi o Israeli ni waapiiha wa Athithi ri Nlhuku aya. 17 Nowa waaholhelha Athithi, wo machiri ni Iphumu thoko ya Naeliya. Noowa weewananiha manyanaangoro ni achishaana aya, nowa urukunusha mirima cha attu o itiyamaru wiira avire iphiro choombone, ni weesha tayari attu a Atithi.”
18 Azakariya nkaakhulha nnepa wo wiirimu eeraka, “Kinohalha uchuwelha chani yayo malhove ayo? Mii kihoolhuvalha ni ahanu aka chiicho ahoolhuvalha.”
19 Nnepa wo wiirimu nkawaakhulha, “Mii kinoolhumacha va phi Gabrieli kineemelha mmiholho wa Nlhuku, kirumme uwa uhimeriani yoyo nttenga wo urera uyo. 20 Nansho ukhalhawaya khanrumelhenlhe nttenga aka, unowa utimira waayaka. Wo yoyo nlhatu uyo etu, nnottukiya malhaku inyu, nnookhalha chiicho wo uhulhumacha mpaka nihuku vanohalha aya utimira malheheriyo aka alha.”
21 Yeyo ikatema iyo attu yaari yaawehereraka Azakariya uno ashangaka chani woonaka ahothepa ulhokelha chinene u Inupa ya Nlhuku mmo. 22 Vaakhumme aya vathe, khooria wulhumacha, paahi attu nkayaachuwelha wiira ahoona ithikineha vaari aya u Inupa ya Nlhuku. Yaari athoonyaka wo mathatha.
23 Ikatema aya yo uvara ntheko wo upochera ishaani Unupani wa Nlhuku vaamanlhe aya, Azakariya nkayaahokolhia uwani. 24 Baada yo uvira mahuku, ahanu aya, Naelisabeti nkayaarupalha irukulhu. Nkayeettelha mpaani mieri nthanu. 25 Nkayoolhumacha yiiraka, “Athithi ahokuupuwelha vano, ahothamiha ishoni yoona aka mwaattuni!”

29 Amariamu veewilhe aya yayo malhove ayo nkayaathemwa chinene, nkayaashanga wo uhichuwelha maana o yayo malhove ayo. 30 Nnepa wo wiirimu nkaweera, “Amariamu, nhoove, Nlhuku hoovahani nnema. 31 Nnoorupalha iweyi ni unnyara mwaana mwanlhopwana, nnohalha inyu umwiihana nchina nawe Yesu. 32 Yoyo nowa wiihaniya Mwaana a Nlhuku Mulhupalhe, noovahiya ihiche yo imwene thoko apwiiya awe Adaudi chenre aya, 33 ni uwa ukhalha mwene aya iyari i Nayakhobo mahuku o uhimalha, umwene wawe khunowa waamalha!”

39 Mahuku vaavinre aya, Amariamu wo uhipicha nkayaarwaa mpaka iwani yo umiakoni Uyudea. 40 Aarweelhe mpaka uwani wa Azakariya ni waashikuria Naelisabeti. 41 Naelisabeti veewilhe aya Amariamu aashikuriaka, mwaana mwankani nkaathuphathupha munthunkwani mwaya. Naelisabeti nkayaachariya Iphumu ya Nlhuku 42 nkayoolhumacha akhuwelhaka wiira, “Nhovahiya ibarakha waapwaha manyopani onkhaye, ni mwaana inyu nohalha uyaria hovahiya nnema! 43 Ki mpani mii mpaka alha akhumelhelhe uwannyaka, anumwanaya Athithi akeetelhelhe? 44 Kinouhimeriani wiira, veewilhe aka tu nlhove ninyu, mwaana mwankani hothupha munthunkwani mwaka ateelhiyaka. 45 Nhoreeriya inyu mwaarumelhenlhe wiira anowa aatimira malhove o nttenga wa Athithi ahimeriye inyu!”
