²⁰Baa diaar waan paat karom Iesu, diaar piri naa, “Ioaanes, a Tena Baapitaaiso i tula wa mir karom ui, kupi mir a tiri ui naa, ‘Ui ma maa di pirpir muga un ui naa un waan paat, baa miaat a ki walaang utbaai kup te?’”

²¹U ra pakaana bung ut maa, i walaangalaanga paa mongoro ko ra nundiat kum ngunungut ma ra kum malaapaang, ma i lu irok wa a kum tabaraan kon diat, ma i wababo paa mongoro na pula.

²²Ma i baalu diaar naa, “Mur a waan talili, ma mur a wapua Ioaanes u ra kum utnaa mi mur baboi, ma mur aa walangoro taai: A kum pula diat aa babo, diat baa a kakindiat i maat diat aa waan kado, a kum wukawuka diat aa laangalaanga, a kum lengbaa diat aa walangor, a kum minaat diat aa lalaaun, ma di warawaai u ra Koina Wewapua karom a kum iba na taara.

²³Baa te i babo a kum utnaa mi iaau paami ma anuna nurnur pa i puka, ia daan.”

²⁴Baa a ru naat na wawer anun Ioaanes diaar aa waan, Iesu i piri karom a kor na taara un Ioaanes naa, “U raa bung baa muaat waan u ra bil na wanua karom Ioaanes, aawa maa muaat babo kupi? Ina kura duk baa i taltalaaur u ra dadaip? Pate.

²⁵Aawa maa muaat waan kupi muaat a baboi? A muaana baa i mong ma ra in koina maalu? Pate. Baboi, diat baa diat mong ma ra ngaatngaat na maalu, ma diat daan ma ra kum kokoina utnaa, diat ki u ra kum ruma na king.

²⁶Aawa maa muaat waan kupi muaat a baboi? A propet? Maia, iaau piri taa muaat, Ioaanes i ngaala aakit ut taa ra kum propet.

²⁷Di aa timtimu taau uni u ra Buk Taabu lenbi, ‘Baboi, ang tula wa anung tena lo pirpir kupi in muga taam. In muga taam ma in paam aara anum aakapi.’

²⁸Iaau piri taa muaat, Ioaanes i ngaala aakit taan diat raap baa di buta diat, iaku ia baa i kinalik aakit u ra mataanitu anun God, i ngaala taana.”

²⁹A taara raap baa diat walangoroi, ma ra kum tena lolo tatakom kaai, diat taraam u ra takado na aakapi anun God, baa diat lo a baapitaaiso anun Ioaanes.

³⁰Iaku maa a kum Parisaaio ma ra kum tena wawer u ra kum Naagagon pa diat nem a aakapi baa God i taari kup diat, maa pa diat mulaaot u ra baapitaaiso anun Ioaanes.
