Luk 3:3-19

³Eaꞌ nafeꞌ anama hiagoma walemb Jordan naꞌipasa basef Godi amam nematawa. Naꞌipasa somboma opalef sowaꞌ alafugaha waf aonai sofaꞌ baptais ma God nokwahomasa waf aonai esis sandaꞌanai.

⁴Anon nawalapa basef amama Godi siꞌi profet Aisaia fowaꞌ gani nawalapam nandaꞌam mail buk Baibeli maꞌi, “Anona etap wafiguma fatauguma, malogel anona amani anona nemaf noga niꞌi, ‘Pendondomba eaf Dembinai, pendaꞌ ana nefeꞌ usiꞌina.

⁵Pewam gambiwah asiasinuguma ma siꞌigin dondoꞌ etin, petopaꞌ halalef laumi bandami hiami ma mowala dondoꞌam. Dilindilaꞌma pendaꞌagon usiꞌigin. Eaꞌ ufiawa amama mandaꞌ lotasilaꞌma sondaꞌam andeandeꞌ.

⁶Eaꞌ amam nematawa hiesi hiꞌilas anona nemaf siti God nagiambama enis amam nematawa nofaꞌas sotanimani.’ ”

⁷Hiesi amam nematawa safiꞌmai Jon ama saꞌi nupisiꞌas embel. Eaꞌ naꞌipas naꞌi, “Ipeꞌ pandaꞌ waf aonai, siꞌi awasi iguf awami molaipei. Emi naꞌipipa ma paꞌi pefaꞌ pefeꞌ pindihiꞌama okom wandafunai Godi anona nemaf naꞌi neatagama ipeꞌi?

⁸Eaꞌ deiꞌ aꞌipipa. Pendaꞌ waf buꞌunai ma pihiꞌambas ipeꞌ pamboma opalef endilisi paila waf buꞌunai. Ipeꞌ ina ukup mondandaꞌ miꞌi, ‘Abraham anan ahalomapa apeꞌinai’, owaꞌ, hapaimi. Aeꞌ aꞌipipa endilisi, God anan laꞌifinai ma nondaꞌ otamba amama motaga epes siꞌi awasi Abrahami.

⁹Tamiaꞌw nandandombol naꞌoh neatopaꞌ lawah ofagem nombalefima. Maim lawah owaꞌ mil mola suꞌutip buꞌwami, amama anona nemaf solam sokwahom mefeꞌma nif.”

¹⁰Anan naꞌiam eaꞌ, esis hiesi sahaliꞌana saꞌi, “Apeꞌ nambimb mondaꞌ main?”

¹¹Eaꞌ Jon naꞌipas naꞌama naꞌi, “Emi epen siaogw biam atumi neseꞌanana anona enin siot aꞌani, eaꞌ emi gwaꞌaimi maꞌomani inima nendaꞌam newalogam wapotiꞌ.”

¹²Eaꞌ anom amam mofaꞌ takisi mafiꞌmai Jon maꞌi nupisiꞌam embel eaꞌ mahaliꞌana maꞌi, “Dembinai, nambimb afaꞌ ondaꞌ main?”

¹³Eaꞌ anan naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipeꞌ pefaꞌ otamba mondahama siꞌi gavman naꞌipipam. Ipeꞌ ina pefaꞌ anom wapotiꞌ, owaꞌ.”

¹⁴Eaꞌ anom soldia mafiꞌi mahaliꞌana maꞌi, “Afaꞌ nambimb ondaꞌ main?” Anan nagwamam naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipeꞌ ina pembasoꞌma epes piumbelis pendaꞌas umbamohas pendaꞌmas basef pelelaꞌepasa moni asasinai, owaꞌ. Eaꞌ opalef ipeꞌimi mope awanema otamba ipeꞌimi dondoꞌma ikwaf amam dambami mandandepami.”

¹⁵Eaꞌ deiꞌ nomonas esis amam nematawai hiesi mohafel laꞌifim, eaꞌ ukup mandandaꞌma Jon saꞌi, “Jon anan Krais, maꞌuna God nandandepana nasapaꞌana nafiꞌi?”

¹⁶Eaꞌ Jon nagwamasa basef naꞌipas naꞌi, “Aeꞌ apisiꞌipa embel atom. Eaꞌ anona aman nambimb niefiꞌi, anan laꞌifinai nikilaꞌ aeꞌ. Aeꞌ ina aman buꞌuwei ma eatagaha mandelefa su ananimi, owaꞌetin. Nambimb anan neseꞌepa Ambal Buꞌunai Godi nope opalef ipeꞌimi nomon eaꞌ neseꞌepa nif wapotiꞌ.

¹⁷Anan nahapila anona savol lagof ananimi ma niesimba wit siꞌi rais amama nisimbaꞌam andeandeꞌ. Nefaꞌ wit buꞌunai nuwis nembeꞌam ipat ananinai. Eaꞌ tukwakwanimi awami nembefam nofam nif amama luꞌwami fandom laꞌelaꞌef mapani.”

¹⁸Eaꞌ Jon nawalapa anom basef hiami wapotiꞌ ma neafela ukup asasimi ma sondaꞌ waf buꞌunai. Eaꞌ nawalipasa basef buꞌwami Godi.

¹⁹Eaꞌ Jon naꞌipana basef laꞌifimi aman anama Herot, gavman dembinai asasinai, ma waf aonai hianai anan nandaꞌanai. Anan nandalombana Herodias nemataꞌw sahalomana naseꞌakwi, eaꞌ nandaꞌ waf aonai hianai wapotiꞌ.
