1Ubwo benshi batangiye kwandika barondora ibyabaye muri twe,
2mbese nk’uko twabigejejweho n’ababyiboneye kuva mu ntangiriro, ari na bo bari bashinzwe kwamamaza ijambo ry’Imana,
3nanjye, maze kubaririza neza uko byagenze kuva bigitangira, niyemeje, nyakubahwa Tewofili, kukwandikira ayo mateka nyakurikiranyije,
4ngo umenye nyakuri ukuntu inyigisho washyikirijwe zihamye.
Integuza y’ivuka rya Yohani Batisita5Ku ngoma ya Herodi, umwami wa Yudeya, hari umuherezabitambo wo mu cyiciro cya Abiya, akitwa Zakariya, n’umugore we akaba uwo mu muryango wa Aroni, akitwa Elizabeti.
6Bombi bari intungane imbere y’Imana, bagakurikiza badatezuka amategeko n’amabwiriza yose ya Nyagasani.
7Ariko nta mwana bari bafite, kuko Elizabeti yari ingumba; byongeye bombi bari bageze mu zabukuru.
8Igihe rero Zakariya yariho akora imihango y’ubuherezabitambo imbere y’Imana, mu mwanya ugenewe icyiciro cye,
9nk’uko abaherezabitambo babigenzaga, ubufindo buramufata ngo ajye gutwika ububani mu Ngoro ya Nyagasani.
10Rubanda rwose rwasengeraga hanze igihe cyo gutwika ububani.
11Nuko Umumalayika wa Nyagasani amubonekera ahagaze iburyo bw’urutambiro rw’ububani.
12Zakariya amubonye arikanga, ubwoba buramutaha.
13Ariko Malayika aramubwira ati «Wigira ubwoba, Zakariya, kuko isengesho ryawe ryashimwe: umugore wawe Elizabeti azakubyarira umuhungu, maze ukazamwita Yohani.
14Azagutera ibyishimo n’umunezero, kandi benshi bazashimishwa n’ivuka rye,
15kuko azaba umuntu ukomeye mu maso ya Nyagasani. Ntazanywa divayi n’icyitwa inzoga cyose, kandi azuzura Roho Mutagatifu akiri mu nda ya nyina.
16Azagarura abana benshi ba Israheli kuri Nyagasani, Imana yabo,
17kandi azagenda imbere y’Imana arangwa n’umutima n’ubushobozi nka Eliya, agira ngo yunge ababyeyi n’abana babo, no kugira ngo ab’ibigande abagire intungane, maze ategurire atyo Nyagasani umuryango umutunganiye.»
18Nuko Zakariya abwira Malayika, ati «Nzabibwirwa n’iki, ko ndi umusaza, n’umugore wanjye akaba ageze mu zabukuru?»
19Malayika aramusubiza ati «Ndi Gaburiyeli uhora imbere y’Imana; natumwe kukubwira no kukugezaho iyo nkuru nziza.
20Nyamara guhera ubu ngubu ugiye kuba ikiragi; ntuzongera kuvuga kugeza ku munsi ibyo bizaberaho, kuko utemeye ibyo nakubwiye bizagaragara igihe cyabyo kigeze.»
21Ubwo rubanda rwari rutegereje Zakariya, rutangazwa n’uko yatinze mu Ngoro.
22Aho asohokeye, ntiyari agishobora kuvuga, maze bamenya ko yabonekerewe mu Ngoro. Nuko aba uwo kubacira amarenga, akomeza kuba ikiragi.
23Iminsi y’imihango y’ubuherezabitambo irangiye arataha.
24Hashize iminsi, umugore we Elizabeti arasama, amara amezi atanu atajya ahagaragara, avuga ati
25«Dore ibyo Nyagasani yangiriye, yarangobotse ankiza icyankozaga isoni mu bantu.»
Integuza y’ivuka rya Yezu26Hahise amezi atandatu, Malayika Gaburiyeli atumwa n’Imana, mu mugi wo mu Galileya witwa Nazareti,
27ku mukobwa w’isugi wari warasabwe n’umusore witwa Yozefu, wo mu muryango wa Dawudi; uwo mukobwa yitwaga Mariya.
28Malayika aza iwabo, aramubwira ati «Ndakuramutsa, mutoni w’Imana; Nyagasani ari kumwe nawe.»
29Yumvise ayo magambo, arikanga, yibaza icyo iyo ndamutso ivuga.
30Malayika aramubwira ati «Wigira ubwoba, Mariya, kuko wagize ubutoni ku Mana.
31Dore ugiye gusama inda, ukazabyara umuhungu, maze ukazamwita izina rya Yezu.
32Azaba umuntu ukomeye, kandi bazamwita Mwene Nyir’ijuru. Nyagasani Imana azamwegurira ingoma ya se Dawudi;
33azategeka umuryango wa Yakobo ubuziraherezo, ingoma ye ntizashira.»
34Nuko Mariya abwira Malayika, ati «Ibyo bizashoboka bite, kandi nta mugabo mfite?»
35Malayika aramusubiza ati «Roho Mutagatifu azakumanukiraho, maze ububasha bwa Nyir’ijuru bukubundikire mu gicucu cye, ndetse ugiye kuvuka azaba intungane, kandi azitwa Umwana w’Imana.
36Dore Elizabeti mwene wanyu, na we yasamiye mu zabukuru; uku kwezi ni ukwa gatandatu, kandi ubundi yitwaga ingumba,
37koko nta kinanira Imana.»
38Mariya aravuga ati «Ndi umuja wa Nyagasani; byose bimbeho nk’uko ubivuze.» Nuko Malayika amusiga aho aragenda.
Mariya ajya gusura Elizabeti39Muri iyo minsi, Mariya yarahagurutse agenda yihuta, ajya mu misozi miremire, mu mugi wa Yuda,
40agera kwa Zakariya, aramutsa Elizabeti.
41Nuko Elizabeti yumvise indamutso ya Mariya, umwana atwite yisimbiza mu nda, maze Elizabeti yuzura Roho Mutagatifu.
42Arangurura ijwi ati «Wahebuje abagore bose umugisha, n’Umwana utwite arasingizwa.
43Mbikesha iki kugira ngo nyina w’Umutegetsi wanjye angenderere?
44Dore mbaye ncyumva indamutso yawe, umwana yisimbagizanya ibyishimo mu nda yanjye.
45Urahirwa, wowe wemeye ko ibyo watumweho na Nyagasani bizaba.»
46Nuko Mariya na we aravuga ati
47«Umutima wanjye urasingiza Nyagasani,
kandi uhimbajwe n’Imana Umukiza wanjye.
48Kuko yibutse umuja we utavugwaga;
rwose, kuva ubu amasekuruza yose azanyita umuhire.
49Ushoborabyose yankoreye ibitangaza,
Izina rye ni ritagatifu.
50Impuhwe ze zisesekarizwa
abamutinya, bo mu bihe byose.
51Yagaragaje ububasha bw’amaboko
ye, atatanya abantu birata;
52yahanantuye abakomeye abakura ku ntebe zabo,
maze akuza ab’intamenyekana;
53abashonje yabagwirije ibintu,
abakungu abasezerera amara masa;
54yagobotse Israheli umugaragu we,
bityo yibuka impuhwe ze,
55nk’uko yari yarabibwiye abakurambere bacu,
abigirira Abrahamu n’urubyaro rwe iteka.»
56Mariya yamaranye na Elizabeti nk’amezi atatu, abona gutaha.
Ivuka rya Yohani Batisita57Nuko Elizabeti ageze igihe cyo kubyara, abyara umwana w’umuhungu.
58Abaturanyi na bene wabo, bumvise ko Nyagasani yamugiriye ubuntu, bafatanya na we kwishima.
59Ku munsi wa munani, baza kugenya umwana, bashaka kumwita Zakariya nka se.
60Ariko nyina aravuga ati «Oya, aritwa Yohani.»
61Baramubwira bati «Nta muntu wo mu muryango wanyu wigeze kwitwa iryo zina!»
62Nuko babaza se mu marenga uko yifuza kwita umwana.
63Zakariya yaka akabaho, maze yandikaho aya magambo: «Izina rye ni Yohani.» Bose baratangara.
64Ako kanya umunwa we urabumbuka, n’ururimi rwe ruragobodoka, maze atangira kuvuga, asingiza Imana.
65Nuko ubwoba butaha abaturanyi babo bose, n’abo mu misozi yo mu Yudeya, bakwiza hose ibyabaye.
66Ababyumvaga bose bakomezaga kubizirikana mu mitima, bibaza bati «Uyu mwana azamera ate, ko ububasha bwa Nyagasani buri kumwe na we?»
Zakariya asingiza Nyagasani67Nuko se Zakariya yuzura Roho Mutagatifu, ahanura avuga ati
68«Nihasingizwe Nyagasani, Imana ya Israheli,
kuko yasuye umuryango we kandi akawukiza.
69Yatugoboreye ububasha budukiza
mu nzu ya Dawudi umugaragu we,
70nk’uko abahanuzi be batagatifu
bari barabitumenyesheje kuva kera
71ko azadukiza abanzi bacu,
akatugobotora mu nzara z’abatwanga bose.
72Yagiriye impuhwe ababyeyi bacu,
maze yibuka isezerano rye ritagatifu,
73ya ndahiro yarahiye Abrahamu umubyeyi wacu,
74avuga ko namara kutugobotora mu maboko y’abanzi bacu,
azaduha kumukorera nta cyo twikanga,
75turangwa n’ubuyoboke hamwe n’ubutungane,
iminsi yose y’ukubaho kwacu.
76Nawe rero wa kana we, uzitwa umuhanuzi w’Umusumbabyose,
kuko uzabanziriza Nyagasani ngo umutegurire amayira,
77ukamenyesha umuryango we umukiro,
bazakesha kubabarirwa ibyaha byabo.
78Koko Imana yacu igira impuhwe zihebuje,
ari na zo zatumye Zuba‐rirashe amanuka mu ijuru aje kudusura,
79akabonekera abari batuye mu mwijima no mu gicucu cy’urupfu,
kugira ngo atuyobore mu nzira y’amahoro.»
80Umwana uko yakuraga, ni na ko yungukaga ubwenge. Nuko yibera ahantu h’ubutayu kugeza igihe yigaragaje imbere ya Israheli.
