5 Wen Herod stay king fo Judea, had one priest guy name Zekariah. He wen work wit da Abijah priest hui. Elizabet, she his wife. She wen come from da Aaron priest ohana. 6 Zekariah an his wife wen do da right tings da way God see um. Everyting da Boss wen tell um fo do, an all Godʼs Rules, dey wen do, an no mo nobody poin finga dem. 7 Dey no mo kids cuz Elizabet no can. She an Zekariah stay old now.

8 An wen happen dat wen Zekariah wen go in front God inside da temple, fo do da priest kine job wit his priest hui, 9 da priest guys wen pick Zekariah fo go inside Godʼs Spesho Place an burn da incense dat time. Dey wen pick um Jun Ken A Po kine, cuz dass how dey wen do um. 10 An all da peopo stand outside praying wen da time wen come wen he suppose to burn da incense. 11 Den Zekariah wen spock one angel messenja guy from da Boss Up Dea In Da Sky dat wen come, standing on da right side by da altar wea da incense stay burn. 12 Wen Zekariah see da angel guy he wen come mix up an scared. 13 But da angel guy wen tell, “No scared, Zekariah! God wen hear wat you wen aks, an yoa wife Elizabet goin born one boy. You goin name him John. 14 You goin stay real good inside cuz a him, an plenny peopo going stay good inside cuz he wen born. 15 He goin be one importan guy, da way da Boss Up Dea In Da Sky see um. He no goin drink no wine o da odda kine booze. Godʼs Spesho Spirit goin take charge a him befo he born. 16 He goin bring back plenny Israel peopo fo trus God dea Boss. 17 He goin come first, befo da Boss come, wit da same kine spirit an power dat Elijah wen get.

He goin make da peopo ready fo wen da Boss Up Dea In Da Sky come.”

18 Zekariah wen aks da angel guy, “How I goin know dis fo shua? I one old man, an my wife, she old too.”

19 Da angel guy wen tell, “I Gabriel, da one dat stand in front God, an he wen send me fo tell you dis good stuff. 20 From now on, you no can talk notting, till yoa boy born, cuz you neva trus wat I wen say. Dis goin happen fo shua at da right time.”

21 All da time dis stay going on, da peopo stay wait fo Zekariah outside, an dey wen tink how come he wen stay long time inside da temple. 22 Wen he come outside, he no can talk to dem. So dey wen tink he wen see someting spesho inside dea, cuz he wen make signs wit his hands, but no can talk.

23 Wen da time pau fo his job, he wen go home. 24 Afta dat his wife Elizabet wen come hapai, an fo five months she wen stay hide inside da house. 25 She say, “Da Boss Up Dea In Da Sky wen do dis fo me. He wen show me he do someting good fo me, an he wen take away my shame wit da peopo.”

26 Afta six months God wen send da angel messenja Gabriel to one town Galilee side name Nazaret. 27 He come by one wahine name Mary. She neva come togedda wit one guy yet, but she make ready fo marry one guy name Joseph. He from King Davidʼs ohana. 28 Da angel guy come by her an say, “Aloha!

29 Mary come mix up cuz a wat he wen say, an tinking wat dat mean. 30 Da angel guy say,

An dat baby you goin get, God goin call him ‘Spesho Fo Me’ an ‘Godʼs Boy’. 36 You know Elizabet, yoa ohana? No matta she stay old, she goin born one boy too. Peopo say she no can born babies, but she six months hapai awready. 37 Notting too hard fo God.”

38 Mary say, “I da Boss helpa. Do um to me jalike you wen say.” Den da angel guy wen go way.

39 Dat time, Mary wen get up an wen go fast to one town in da hills Judea side. 40 Ova dea she wen go inside Zekariahʼs house, an wen spock Elizabet, an wen tell her, “Aloha!” 41 Wen Elizabet wen hear Mary say dat, da baby wen huli inside her, an Godʼs Spesho Spirit wen take ova Elizabet. 42 An she wen talk loud an say, “God stay do mo good fo you den fo all da wahines, an he stay do mo good fo da boy you goin born too! 43 But why dis good ting happen to me, dat you wen come by me, an you goin be my Boss mudda?! 44 Cuz wen I hear you say ‘Aloha,’ right den an dea da baby inside me wen huli cuz he stay good inside. 45 Da Boss stay do plenny good stuff fo you, cuz you stay shua dat da ting he say, goin happen.

46 Mary wen say,
