1 Na tempo ari Yesus dauga' dumodongo na Nazaret, notakamo i Yohanes Pansarani na tano' maleas Yudea ka' nuntundunkon lelena Tumpu taena, 2 “Sosoli ka' kadarai a gau'muu men ba'idek gause Batomundo'anna Surugaa karani'mo!”[a]
3 Yohanesmo iya'a men ia tundun i Nabii Yesaya taena,
4 Pakean ni Yohanes wuluna unta a niwawau, ka' boborna lolosna anit a niwawau. Kakaanna katumbang tia gurana wani'.[c] 5 Biai' a samba Yerusalem, mian na longkop libutan Yudea ka' uga' mian na longkop libutan men pookarani' Weerkauna Yordan taka ni Yohanes. 6 Raaya'a nonsosoli ka' nangkadarai wawauna men sala', kasi ia sarani i Yohanes na Weerkauna Yordan.
7 Kasee tempo i Yohanes nimiile' se' biai' a mian Farisi tia mian Saduki men taka mikisarani, mbaka' ia norobumo na ko'ona i raaya'a taena, “Wee i kuu men koi lee'na ule ba'idek! Ime a men nambantilkon na ko'omuu se' i kuu sian kana'onna ukumanna Alaata'ala na ilio komburi?[d] 8 Pipiile'kon a wawaumuu se' i kuu daa nonsosolimo ka' nangkadaraimo gau'muu men ba'idek. 9 Alia mongooskon na noamuu se' i kuu daa bo tonsapu na ukuman montookon i Abraham daa pulimuu. Bantilkononku na ko'omuu se' watupo karaani'i sida wawauonna Alaata'ala bo lee' ni Abraham![e] 10 Usong noko toropotmo bo pantara' kau pataka na wakatna. Sanda' kau men sian miwoo'kon woo' men pore sabole bo tara'ion ka' tibarkonon na apu.[f]
11 Yaku' mansarani i kuu tia weer bo oosna se' i kuu daa nonsosolimo ka' nangkadaraimo gau'muu men ba'idek. Kasee moko daa i yaku' bo taka i Ia men dauga' labi i yaku' a kuasa-Na. Ia bo mansarani i kuu tia Alus Molinas ka' tia apu. Mangawawa sapato-Napo yaku' koo'. 12 Ia noko into-intonmo ikiran bo pantaapi giigii' gandum-Na pataka moloe'. Gandum bo soopkonon-Na na alang, kasee ota'na bo tunuon-Na na apu men sian pokoon papateion.”
13 Na tempo i Yohanes na Weerkauna Yordan, Yesus norumingkatmo na Galilea mae' mbaale'e na ko'ona. Taka inde'e, Ia nikisaranimo ni Yohanes. 14 Kasee i Yohanes nontopongi nangalia i Ia. Taena i Yohanes, “Bookoi se' i yaku' mba'a men tio saranion-Muu. Kasee kani'i, nongko'upa se' i Kuu a men notaka mikisarani na ingku'?”
15 Mbaka' ia simbati i Yesus tae-Na, “Sobii, sian kongupana, gause bookoi tio koiya'a kada' i kita mongololoikon tuutuu' koi men pingkira'na Alaata'ala.” Mbaka' i Yohanes nansaranimo i Yesus.
16 Noko daa nisarani, Yesus no'umuarmo na weer iya'a. Na tempo iya'a langit nokobongkatianmo ka' i Yesus nimiile' Alusna Alaata'ala men koi marampatii nalau na Ko'ona. 17 Kasi nokamporongoran a wurungna Alaata'ala nda'amari surugaa, tae-Na, “Ni'imo a Anak-Ku men kolingu'-Ku. Ia men daa kokana'-Ku.”[g]
