13 But the angel said to him, "Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

13 Maar die engel sê vir hom: Moenie vrees nie, Sagar¡a, want jou gebed is verhoor, en jou vrou Elisabet sal vir jou 'n seun baar, en jy moet hom Johannes noem.

14 En hy sal blydskap en verheuging vir jou wees, en baie sal oor sy geboorte bly wees;

15 want hy sal groot wees voor die Here. En wyn en sterk drank sal hy nooit drink nie, en hy sal vervul word met die Heilige Gees reeds van die skoot van sy moeder af.
