Sivinre ene iyaakha 400 nuumala otthikela otekiwa ixiri sa oYerusalemu, namukuttho mmosa aitthaniwa Zakariya ni mwaarawe, Elizabeti, yaahimaka waattamela epooma ele. Saahivira iyaakha sinceene Zakariya omuthenle ene Elizabeti, masi awosa khiyaarina anamwane. Nihiku nimosa, vaavo Zakariya aapaha awe erupani mpaani mwa Muluku, naahimukhumelela nlaikha niitthaniwa Gabriyeli. Zakariya aahoova vanceene, masi Gabriyeli aahimuhimeerya so: ‘Muhoove. Kihaana ihapari sooreera sinikhuma wa Yehova. Mwaarinyu, Elizabeti onookhalana mwaana mwaamulopwana, nto nsina nawe onrowa okhala Yohani. Yehova oomuthanlela Yohani muteko wa vameekhaaya’. Zakariya aahimukoha wira: ‘Kinrowa ororomela sai etthu ela? Miyo ni mwaaraka nihuuluvala’. Gabriyeli aahimwaakhula so: ‘Kirummwale ni Muluku wira kooleeleni ihapari iya. Masi okhala nyuwo khamunkikupali, munookhala muhilavulaka mpakha oyariwa mwaana owo’.

Ninvahe nsina na apapawe, Zakariya’. Masi Zakariya aahilepa so: ‘Nsina nawe ti Yohani’. Naananoru Zakariya aahitthikela olavula! Ihapari voohimya sa mwaana ole saahimwareela muttetthe wotheene wa oYudeya, vano atthu yaanikohana wira: ‘Mwaana ola annuwa vale onrowa okhala pani?’

 Zakariya aahisareya munepa wootteela. Aahilavula so: ‘Attottopeliwe Yehova. Maana aahimmanela natiri Abrahamu wira aarowa omuruma moopoli, Mesiya wira onaakihe. Yohani onrowa okhala profeta ni onrowa olokiherya ephiro enrowa awe ovira Mesiya’.
