5 I n the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

Wakhtigii Herodos ahaa boqorkii Yahuudiya, waxaa jiray wadaad la odhan jiray Sakariyas, oo ka mid ahaa safkii Abiya; haweenaydiisuna waxay ka mid ahayd hablihii reer Haaruun, magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Elisabed.

6 T hey were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.

Labadooduba xaq bay ku ahaayeen Ilaah hortiisa, oo qaynuunnadii iyo xukummadii Rabbiga ayay eedla'aan ku socon jireen.

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

Ilmo ma ay lahayn, waayo, Elisabed madhalays bay ahayd, oo labadooduba way da'weynaayeen.

8 N ow it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division,

Waxaa dhacay, intuu shuqulkii wadaadnimadii safkiisa dartiis samaynayay Ilaah hortiisa,

9 a ccording to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

sida caadadii wadaadnimadu u ahayd, in shuqulkiisu ahaa inuu foox shido goortuu macbudka Rabbiga galay.

10 A nd the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering.

Saacaddii fooxa ayaa dadkii badnaa oo dhammu dibadda ku tukanayeen.

11 A nd an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.

Markaasaa waxaa isaga u soo muuqatay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo taagnayd meeshii fooxa lagu shido midigteeda.

12 Z acharias was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him.

Goortuu Sakariyas arkay ayuu naxay, wuuna cabsaday.

13 B ut the angel said to him, “ Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John.

Laakiin malaa'igtii baa ku tidhi, Ha baqin, Sakariyasow, waayo, baryadaadii waa la maqlay; afadaada Elisabedna wiil bay kuu dhali doontaa, magiciisana waxaad u bixin doontaa Yooxanaa.

14 Y ou will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

Waxaad heli doontaa farxad iyo rayrayn; dad badanna dhalashadiisa ayay ku farxi doonaan,

15 F or he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother’s womb.

waayo, Rabbiga hortiisa nin weyn buu ku ahaan doonaa, mana cabbi doono khamri ama wax lagu sakhraamo. Waxaana xataa uurka hooyadiis kaga buuxsami doona Ruuxa Quduuskaa.

16 A nd he will turn many of the sons of Israel back to the Lord their God.

Reer binu Israa'iil badidoodana ayuu Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah ku soo jeedin doonaa.

17 I t is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

Isaguna wuxuu ku hor mari doonaa ruuxii iyo xooggii Eliyaas inuu aabbayaasha qalbiyadooda ku soo jeediyo carruurta, iyo inuu caasiyiinta ku soo celiyo xigmadda kuwa xaqa ah, inuu Rabbiga u diyaargareeyo dad hagaagsan.

18 Z acharias said to the angel, “How will I know this for certain ? For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years.”

Sakariyas wuxuu malaa'igtii ku yidhi, Sidee baan waxan u garan doonaa? Waayo, anigu oday baan ahay, afadayduna waa da'weynaatay.

19 T he angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

Malaa'igtii baa u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay Jibriil oo Ilaah hortiisa istaaga. Waxaa la ii soo diray inaan kula hadlo oo aan warkan wanaagsan kuu keeno.

20 A nd behold, you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day when these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

Bal eeg, waad aamusnaan doontaa, mana hadli kari doonto, ilaa maalinta waxyaalahan dhici doonaan, waayo, waad rumaysan weyday hadalladayda wakhtigooda la oofin doono.

21 T he people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering at his delay in the temple.

Dadkuna waxay sugayeen Sakariyas, oo waxay la yaabeen siduu macbudka ugu raagay.

22 B ut when he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he kept making signs to them, and remained mute.

Markuu soo baxay ayuu la hadli kari waayay, markaasay garteen inuu macbudka wax ku arkay. Kolkaasuu gacanta ugu sii tilmaamayay iyaga, isagoo sii carrab la'.

23 W hen the days of his priestly service were ended, he went back home.

Kolkii maalmihii shuqulkiisii wadaadnimadu dhammaadeen ayuu wuxuu tegey gurigiisii.

24 A fter these days Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,

Maalmahaas dabadeed afadiisa Elisabed ayaa uuraysatay, oo shan bilood ayay isqarisay iyadoo leh.

26 N ow in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth,

Bishii lixaad Ilaah baa malaa'ig Jibriil u soo diray magaalada Galili oo Naasared la odhan jiray

27 t o a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

28 A nd coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”

Malaa'igtii baa u soo gashay, oo waxay ku tidhi, Nabad, adigoo nimcaysan, Rabbiga ayaa kula jira.

29 B ut she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.

Markaasay hadalkii ka naxday, oo waxay isku tidhi, Maxay tahay salaantan?

30 T he angel said to her, “ Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God.

Malaa'igtii baa ku tidhi, Ha baqin, Maryamay, waayo, nimco ayaad Ilaah ka heshay.

31 A nd behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.

Bal eeg, waad uuraysan doontaa, oo wiil baad umuli doontaa, magiciisana waxaad u bixin doontaa Ciise.

32 H e will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;

Nin weyn buu ahaan doonaa, waxaana loogu yeedhi doonaa Wiilka Kan ugu sarreeya, Rabbiga Ilaaha ahuna wuxuu siin doonaa carshigii awowgiis Daa'uud.

33 a nd He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”

Weligiiba wuxuu boqor u ahaan doonaa dadkii Yacquub, boqornimadiisuna ma idlaan doonto.

34 M ary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?”

Kolkaasaa Maryan waxay malaa'igtii ku tidhi, Sidee baa waxanu ku noqon doonaan? Anigu ninna garan maayo.

35 T he angel answered and said to her, “ The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.

Malaa'igtii waa u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Ruuxa Quduuska ah ayaa kugu soo degi doona, oo xooggii Kan ugu sarreeya ayaa hoosiis kuu noqon doona, sidaa darteed kan quduuska ah oo kaa dhalan doona waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa Wiilka Ilaah.

36 A nd behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month.

Bal eeg, ina-adeertaa Elisabedna wiil bay uuraysatay iyadoo da'weyn; oo tanuna waxay tii madhalays loogu yeedhi jiray u tahay bisheedii lixaad.

37 F or nothing will be impossible with God.”

Waayo, wax aan Ilaah kari doonin ma jiro.

38 A nd Mary said, “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Mary Visits Elizabeth

Maryan ayaa tidhi, Waa i kan, waxaan ahay addoontii Rabbiga. Sidaad u hadashay ha ii noqoto. Markaasaa malaa'igtii ka tagtay. Maryan Waxay Booqatay Elisabed; Gabaygii Maryan Ee Ammaanta Ahaa

Oo waxaa dhacay goortii Elisabed salaantii Maryan maqashay in ilmihii uurkeeda ku boodbooday; Elisabedna waxaa ka buuxsamay Ruuxa Quduuska ah.

42 A nd she cried out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

Xaggee waxanu iiga yimaadeen in Sayidkayga hooyadiis iigu timaado?

Tan iyo ab ka ab naxariistiisu waxay gaadhaa Kuwa isaga ka cabsada.
