1:5 Bha e, ann an làithibh Heroid, righ Iudea, sagart àraidh d'am b'ainm Sechariah, de roinn Abiah, agus bha a bhean do nigheanaibh Aaroin, agus b' ainm dhi Elisabet.

1:6 A nis bha iad le chèile dìreach an làthair Dhè, a' teachd air adhart ann an uile àitheantaibh agus fìreanachadh an Tighearna gun choire.

1:7 Agus cha robh duine cloinne aca, oir bha Elisabet neo-thorrach, agus bha iad le chèile air àrdachadh ann am bliadhnachan.

1:8 An uairsin thachair sin, an uair a bha e cur an gniomh na sagartachd an lathair Dhe, ann an ordugh a roinn,

1:9 a rèir gnàtha na sagartachd, thuit an crannchur chum gu'n tairgeadh e tùis, dol a steach do theampull an Tighearna.

1:10 Agus bha an sluagh uile ri ùrnaigh a‑muigh, aig uair na tùise.

1:11 An sin dh’fhoillsicheadh ​​dha aingeal an Tighearna, seasamh air taobh deas altarach na tùise.

1:12 Agus air dha fhaicinn, bha Sechariah air a bhuaireadh, agus thuit eagal air.

1:13 Ach thubhairt an t-Aingeal ris: "Na biodh sgàth ort, Sechariah, oir chaidh ur n-ùrnaigh a chluinntinn, agus beiridh do bhean Elisabet mac dhuit. Agus bheir thu Eoin mar ainm air.

1:14 Agus bidh aoibhneas agus gàirdeachas ann dhut, agus ni mòran gairdeachas 'na bhreith.

1:15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

1:16 And he will convert many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.

1:17 And he will go before him with the spirit and power of Elijah, so that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the incredulous to the prudence of the just, so as to prepare for the Lord a completed people.”

1:18 And Zechariah said to the Angel: “How may I know this? For I am elderly, and my wife is advanced in years.”

1:19 Agus mar fhreagairt, the Angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands before God, and I have been sent to speak to you, and to proclaim these things to you.

1:20 Agus feuch, you will be silent and unable to speak, until the day on which these things shall be, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”

1:21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah. And they wondered why he was being delayed in the temple.

1:22 An uair sin, 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 was making signs to them, but he remained mute.

1:23 Agus thachair sin, after the days of his office were completed, he went away to his house.

1:24 An uair sin, after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she hid herself for five months, ag ràdh:

1:25 “For the Lord did this for me, at the time when he decided to take away my reproach among men.”
