From a fully vowelled text

وَسَمِعَ جِيرَانُهَا وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ عَظَّمَ رَحْمَتَهُ لَهَا، فَفَرِحُوا مَعَهَا.And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.Luke 1:58, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَوَقَعَ خَوْفٌ عَلَى كُلِّ جِيرَانِهِمْ. وَتُحُدِّثَ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ جَمِيعِهَا فِي كُلِّ جِبَالِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ،And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.Luke 1:65, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَيَأْتِي إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَيَدْعُو الأَصْدِقَاءَ وَالْجِيرَانَ قَائِلاً لَهُمُ: افْرَحُوا مَعِي، لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ خَرُوفِي الضَّالَّ!.And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.Luke 15:6, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
