13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 For he shall be great before {the} Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with {the} Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
13 Otira ka mea te anahera ki a ia, kaua e wehi, e Hakaraia: kua rangona hoki tau inoi, a ka whanau i tau wahine, i a Erihapeti, he tama mau, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Hoani.
14 A ka whiwhi koe i te hari me te harakoa; a he tokomaha hoki e hari i tona whanautanga.
15 E nui hoki ia i te aroaro o te Atua: e kore ia e inu i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei: a ka ki ia i te Wairua Tapu, mai ano o te kopu o tona whaea.
