1:1 Forasmuch, indeed, that, many of the Messianic Sofrim, had taken in hand to compile the Sefer (to set forth in order) a declaration of those things are most surely believed (confirmed) among us ,

1:2 Even as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,

1:3 It seemed tov to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilos (friend of G_d see also Acts 1:3),

1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

The birth of Yochanan the immerser

1:5 There was in the days of Herodes, the melekh Yehudah, a certain Kohen named Z'kharYah, of the division of Aviyah: and his wife [was] of the banot Aharon, and her name [was] Elisheva.

1:6 And they were both tzadikim before Elohim, having their halacha tamim in all the Mitzvot and Chukim YHWH (יהוה).

1:7 And they had no child, because that Elisheva was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.

1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the Kohen's office before Elohim in the order of his course,

1:9 According to the custom of the Kohen's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the Beit HaMikdash YHWH (יהוה).

1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

1:11 And there appeared unto him an Malakh YHWH (יהוה) standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

1:12 And when Z'kharYah saw [him], he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

1:13 But the Malakh said unto him:

"Fear not, Z'kharYah: for thy tefillah is heard; and thy wife Elisheva shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Yochanan."

1:14 And thou shalt have simcha and gladness; and many shall rejoice at His birth.

1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of YHWH (יהוה), and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, even from his mother's womb. (Bamidbar 6:3, Sofarim 13:4; Yemiryahu 1;5; Galatians 1;15)

1:16 And many of benai Yisrael shall he turn to YHWH (יהוה) Eloheichem.

1:17 And he shall go before him in the ruach and power of Eli-Yahu, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for YHWH (יהוה).

1:18 And Z'kharYah said unto the Malakh, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

1:19 And the Malakh answering said unto him:

I am Gavriel, that stand in the presence of Elohim; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

1:20 And, Hinei, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

1:21 And the people waited for Z'kharYah, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the Beit  Ha Mikdash.

1:22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Beit  Ha Mikdash: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own bayit.

1:24 And after those days his wife Elisheva conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

1:25 Thus hath YHWH (יהוה) dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.

The Malakh appears unto Miriyam

1:26 And in the sixth month the Malakh Gavriel was sent from Elohim unto a city of Galil, named Natzeret,

1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Yosef, of the bayit of David; and the virgin's name [was] Miryam.

1:28 And the Malakh came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, YHWH (יהוה) [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.

1:29 And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

1:30 And the Malakh said unto her, Fear not, Miryam: for thou hast found favour with Elohim.

1:31 And, Hinei, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Ben, and shalt call His Name Yeshua (ישוע).

1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called Ben ha Elyon: and YHWH (יהוה) Elohim shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Yaakov le olam vaed; and of his Malkut there shall be no end.

1:34 Then said Miryam unto the Malakh, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

1:35 And the Malakh answered and said unto her:

The Ruach HaKodesh shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:

Therefore also that Set Apart thing which shall be born of thee shall be called Ben Elohim.

1:36 And, Hinnei, thy cousin Elisheva, she hath also conceived a Ben in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

1:37 For with Elohim nothing shall be impossible.

1:38 And Miryam said, Hinnei the servant of YHWH (יהוה); be it unto me according to thy word. And the Malakh departed from her.

Miryam visits Elisheva

1:39 And Miryam arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Yehudah;

1:40 And entered into the Beit Z'kharYah, and saluted Elisheva.

1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisheva heard the Birkat Shalom from Miryam, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisheva was filled with the Ruach HaKodesh:

1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said:

Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.

1:43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Adoni should come to me?

1:44 For, Behold, as soon as the voice of thy birkat Shalom sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for simcha.

1:45 And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from YHWH (יהוה).

Miryam hallei shir

1:46 And Miryam said, My soul doth magnify YHWH (יהוה),

1:47 And my ruach hath rejoiced in Elohim my Moshia.

1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, Hinei, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

1:49 For he that is Mighty One has done great things for me; and Kadosh [is] His Name.

1:50 And His rachamim (mercy) [is] on them that fear Him from generation to generation.

1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

1:52 He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of low degree.

1:53 He hath filled the hungry with tov things; and the rich He hath sent empty away.

1:54 He hath helped his eved Yisrael, in remembrance of [his] rachamim (mercy);

1:55 As he spake to our fathers, to Avraham, and to his seed for ever. (Compare Micah 7:20, Psalms 98:3)

1:56 And Miryam stayed with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

1:57 Now Elisheva's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a Son.

1:58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how YHWH (יהוה) had shewed great rachamim (mercy) upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

1:59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to Brit Milah the child; and they called him Z'kharYah, after the name of his father.

1:60 And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he shall be called Yochanan.

1:61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.

1:62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.

1:63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is Yochanan. And they marvelled all.

1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spake, and praised Elohim.

1:65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Yehudah.

1:66 And all they that heard [them] laid [them] up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of YHWH (יהוה) was with him.

1:67 And his father Z'kharYah was filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, and prophesied, saying,

1:68 Baruch YHWH (יהוה) Elohei Yisrael; for Adonay hath visited and redeemed His people,

1:69 And hath raised up Keren Yeshuah (horn of Yeshuat Eloheinu) for us in the Beit of His eved David;

1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his Kadosh Neviim, which have been since the world began:

1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

1:72 To perform the rachamim (mercy) [promised] to our fathers, and to remember HIS Set Apart Covenant;

1:73 Brit ha Shevuah (Oath of the Covenant) which Adonay sware to Avraham Avinu,

1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear,

1:75 In set-apartness and tzadikim before Him, all the days of our life.

1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the Navi of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of YHWH (יהוה) to prepare his ways;

1:77 To give knowledge of Yeshuat Eloheinu unto his people by the remission of their averot (sins),

1:78 Through the tender rachamim (mercy) of our Elohim; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of Shalom.

1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in ruach, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Yisrael.

Miriyam willingly submitted the will of Elohm to be a chosen vessel  for YHWH (יהוה) manifest in the flesh when the angel appeared unto her. She
does not hold the status of being superior to Elohim such as holding a title of  "mother of God" that is absolutely idolatrous interpretation. 

No where in the scripture says that she is the "mother of God"

Being entrusted the Messiah under her care, She was a diligent servant of Elohim a good steward in ministering unto  Yeshua (ישוע) from birth until
he reach adulthood and also during the Yeshua (ישוע) earthly ministry. She sees herself  in need of Saviour Luke 1:54-55 she believes in the
promise Messiah. Compare Micah 7:20, Psalms 98:3).
