John 1:12-24

¹²Mana balu so tadira tara holopangotia mara taluutunia. Ma gaira raini te hera na sonihalavu tunuva ge kara dalena God.

¹³Agaira tara mua dalena God na pukuna tara vahura ge ke taonira tana levu ni huli. God heghena vamua te hera na vola vaolu.

¹⁴Mana Bosa te vuha tinoni, me kabu i ghobuda. Mi ghai tai righia nina lada, na lada te loghoa agaia na vahuhu sosopa ta Tamana. Agaia te vonughia na sonihalavu mana utuni.

¹⁵John te bosa tatea me ghaghua, “Agaia eni na tinoni tu bosa na bona tu ghaghua, ‘Agaia ke tumuriu mai, hauva me haba vuleu inau, na pukuna te ghaha mai tua i naghona na vahuagu.’”

²¹Ma gaira tara ghoi huatia so, “?Ma hei so ighoe? ?Ighoe Elijah?” Ma John te bosatughu, “Taho, e mua inau, Elijah!” Ma gaira tara ghoi huatia so, “?Ighoe na Prophet?” ra vania. Ma John te bosa tughu, “Taho!”

²²Ma gaira tara ghaghua vania, “?Ko bosa kalea vanighai mai, ahei sughua ighoe? Ighai kai va bosa oli vanira tara vetenaghai mai. ?Na hava ko bosagho heghemu nia?”

²³Ma John te bosa tughu vanira taonia na bosana na prophet Isaiah idania, “Inau na talama ni mangana siki sakai te ghaeghahe tana bona mamaha me ghaghua, ‘Kau goni maemanea na halautuna na Lord ke liu igaa!’”
