¹ Kahudu-na Yesus mpotudui' ana'guru-na to hampulu' rodua, hilou-imi metudui' pai' mpopalele Kareba Lompe' hi rala ngata-ngata to mohu'. ²Nto'u toe, Yohanes Topeniu' bula-na ratarungku'. Na'epe Yohanes napa to napobago Kristus. Toe pai' nahubui ba hangkuja dua topetuku' -na hilou hi Yesus mpekune' -i hewa toi: ³"Ba Iko mpu'u-midi Magau' Topetolo' to najanci Alata'ala-e, ba ria-pidi to ntani' -na to kipopea?" Hilou mpu'u-ramo mpoparata pompekunea' Yohanes toe hi Yesus. ⁴Kana'epe-na Yesus pompekunea' toe, na'uli' -raka suro toera: "Nculii' -mokoi, uli' -ki retu hawe'ea napa to ni'epe pai' to nihilo: ⁵To wero pehilo-mi, to kejo momako' monoa' -mi, topohaki' poko' mo'uri', to wongo pe'epe, tomate kupotuwu' nculii', pai' Kareba Lompe' kuparata-mi hi tauna to mpe'ahii' tuwu' -ra. ⁶Marasi' -ra tauna to uma morara' nono-ra hi Aku'."

⁷ Kanculii' -ra suro Yohanes Topeniu' toera, mololita-imi Yesus hi ntodea, mpotompo'wiwi Yohanes. Na'uli': "Napa patuju-ni hilou mpohirua' -ki Yohanes hi tana' to wao'? Ba doko' -koi mpohilo tauna to morara' nono-na, to hewa pimpi to nawui ngolu' molue hilou tumai? Uma-hawo, apa' uma hewa toe kehi-na Yohanes. ⁸Jadi', hilou doko' mpohilo napa-dikoie? Ba doko' mpohilo tauna to ncola pohea-na? Uma wo'o-hawo, apa' tauna to ncola pohea-ra, hi tomi magau' -ra-wadi-hana. ⁹Jadi', hilou doko' mpohilo napa-dikoie? Ba doko' mpohilo nabi-dikoi? Ane tetu, makono lia. Apa' Yohanes tetui meliu ngkai nabi to ntani' -na. ¹⁰Apa' hi'a tetu-mi to mporodo nono-ra ntodea mpotarima-a, hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' owi. Na'uli' Alata'ala: `Hi'a toi-mi suro-ku, kuhubui-i meri'ulu ngkai Iko, bona mporodo ohea-nu.'" ¹¹Na'uli' wo'o-mi Yesus: "Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi: ngkai hawe'ea tauna to putu hi dunia' toi, uma ria haduaa to meliu kabohe tuwu' -na ngkai Yohanes Topeniu'. Aga ngkai wae lau, marasi' mpu'u-ra tauna to jadi' ntodea-na Alata'ala hi rala Kamagaua' -na. Nau' to kedi' lia tuwu' -ra, meliu kamarasi' -ra ngkai Yohanes. ¹²Ngkai lomo' pobago-na Yohanes Topeniu' rata hi tempo toi, tauna to dada'a mpohuduwukui mpo'ewa topetuku' Alata'ala doko' mpokuasai-ra. ¹³Ngkai nabi-nabi owi duu' hi Yohanes tempo toi, hawe'ea nabi pai' Atura Musa mpolowa napa to kana jadi'. ¹⁴Ria nabi owi to mpolowa karata-na nculii' nabi Elia. Jadi', ane dota nipangala', Yohanes toe-mile nabi Elia to ralowa owi-e. ¹⁵Hema to tilingaa, pe'epei lompe'!

¹⁶ "Uma mowo tauna to tuwu' tempo toi! Toi-mi lolita rapa' -ku to kurapai' -raka. Hira' hewa ana' to mohura hi wiwi' karajaa to mpobawai ema' -ra, ¹⁷ra'uli': `Kibawai-koi molalowe, uma-koi dota goe' dohe-kai. Kibawai-koi motantangi', uma wo'o-koi dota geo' dohe-kai.' <sup>18</sup>Batua-na: Yohanes Topeniu' uma rapokonoi, Aku' wo'o uma rapokonoi. Katumai-na Yohanes, mopuasa' -i pai' uma-i nginu to melanguhi. Rapoka'oja' -i, ra'uli': `Kahawia' -i-hanale!' ¹⁹Hiaa' katumai-ku Aku' Ana' Manusia', nginu-a pai' ngkoni' -a. Rapoka'oja' wo'o-a-wadi, ra'uli': `Hilo-i! Tojampa, topalangu-langu, bale-ra topesingara' paja' pai' doo-ra topojeko'!' Aga nau' wae, ta'inca kamonoto-na patuju Alata'ala ane tanaa gau' topetuku' -na." ²⁰Ngkai ree, Yesus mpokamaro to Yahudi to mo'oha' hi ngata-ngata hi tana' Galilea, apa' nau' jau moto-mi nababehi anu mekoncehi hi ngata-ra, uma oa' -ra medea ngkai kehi-ra to dada'a. ²¹Na'uli' Yesus: "Silaka-koi to Korazim pai' to Betsaida! Wori' moto-mi tanda mekoncehi kubabehi hi ngata-ni, aga uma oa' -koi medea ngkai jeko' -ni. Ane rapa' -na tanda mekoncehi toe rababehi hi rala ngata Tirus pai' Sidon, ke mahae-ramo-rana medea ngkai jeko' -ra, nau' bela-ra to Yahudi. Ke mpo'ala' karu' -ramo rapohea, pai' mpohawui' woto-ra hante awu, tanda kasoho' nono-ra. ²²Jadi', bona ni'inca: hi Eo Kiama mpai', meliu-pi pehuku' -na Alata'ala hi koi' ngkai pehuku' -na hi to Tirus pai' to Sidon. ²³"Pai' koi' wo'o to Kapernaum! Ha ni'uli' -koina wae, na'ongko' napomolangko-koi mpai' Alata'ala-e? Uma-e'! Natadi pai' nahuku' lau-dakoi mpai'. Ane rapa' -na tanda mekoncehi to kubabehi hi ngata-ni tetu rababehi owi hi ngata Sodom, ke uma-hawo nakero Alata'ala, ke ria-pidi ngata toe duu' hewa toe-e lau. ²⁴Jadi', bona ni'inca: hi Eo Kiama mpai' meliu-pi pehuku' -na Alata'ala hi koi' ngkai pehuku' -na hi to Sodom owi."

²⁵ Nto'u toe, Yesus mosampaya, na'uli': "O Mama, Pue' langi' pai' dunia'! Mpo'uli' -a tarima kasi, apa' hawe'ea toe lau nupopohiloi-raka tauna to uma pe'incai, tapi' nuwunii' -raka tauna to nginca pai' tauna to pante, ²⁶apa' wae-mi konoa-nu Mama. ²⁷"Hawe'ea-na natonu-maka Tuama-ku. Uma ria haduaa to mpo'incai-a, Aku' Ana' Alata'ala, muntu' Tuama-ku to mpo'inca-a. Wae wo'o uma ria to mpo'incai-i Tuama-ku, muntu' Aku' Ana' -na to mpo'inca-i, pai' hema-hema to kupopo'incai kahema-nai Tuama-ku. ²⁸"Mai-mokoi omea to lenge', pai' to motomo kinolo-ni, Aku' moto mpobole kinolo-ni. ²⁹Kolo-mi kinolo to kupopokoloi-kokoi, pai' mpopetudui' -koi hi Aku', nirata moto mpai' kalompea' tuwu' kao' -ni. Apa' mo'olu-a pai' dingki' nono-ku. ³⁰Hawa' -ku uma mokoro, pai' kinolo to kupopokoloi-kokoi monangko' -wadi."
