³Yohanis namanene nan, boe ma ana laꞌo leo basa koroꞌ fo raneneaꞌ ro lee Yarden, de nafada lahenda ra nae, “Emi muste saledale-tuꞌetei mara, ela Manetualain sae-safe heni emi sala-sikom. Basa nana emi muste sarani dei, fo dadi tanda nae, emi malole mo Manetualain so.”

⁴Fai a ulu na, Manetualain mana nesi matan baꞌi Yesaya duiꞌ laꞌeneuꞌ Yohanis ia nae, “Hapu lahenda nai mamana lino-nes de bobouꞌ nae, ‘Basa lahenda ra mahehere ao mara sadia enoꞌ, fo sipoꞌ Ramatuaꞌ a mamai na! Enoꞌ pekoꞌ a taon dadi roos fo sipoꞌ Ana.

⁵Bafaꞌ bea na pori matetun. Leteꞌ bea na ali matetun. Eno peko-pakiꞌ ara tao si dadi roos, enoꞌ boboloꞌ ara pori matetuꞌ si.

⁶Ela lahenda reme basa nusaꞌ ara mai bisa bubuluꞌ rae, Manetualain nau soi-tefa lahenda reme sala-siko nara mai.’ ”

⁷Lahenda dodouꞌ reme basa mamanaꞌ ara mai hule Yohanis fo sarani si. Tehuu ana nasapaa si nae, “Ae! Maedi-mafuleꞌ emin! Emi sama leoꞌ meke maꞌaaꞌ! Mana saledale-tuꞌetei fufudiꞌ emin, boso mae emi lui meme Manetualain huhuku Na mai. Ta dooꞌ a soꞌ, te Manetualain huku lahenda fo ta saledale-tuꞌetein matetuꞌ fa.

⁸Bosoꞌ emi afi mae, ‘emi nana baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin’. Duduꞌa-aafi sira ta bisa tulu-fali emi, nana huu ta bisa tao malalao-malalafuꞌ emi fa. Manetualain bisa adu na batu ia ra dadi reuꞌ baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin. Au afada emi! Matudu nai leleo-lalaꞌom mae, emi saledale-tuꞌetei mara de tuka Manetualain so.

⁹Emi muste tao hihii-nanauꞌ malole. Taꞌa, sona Manetualain huku emi beraꞌ a, sama leoꞌ lahenda loꞌo heni ai huuꞌ a neme oka na mai, pake taꞌa. Ai huuꞌ fo ta neni buna-boa malole, sona sosoa-raraaꞌ taꞌa. De, malole lenaꞌ loꞌo henin fo tuꞌun leo ai-pilaꞌ daleꞌ neu.”

¹⁰Boe ma, lahenda kadodou inaꞌ sira ratane Yohanis rae, “De, ami muste tao ubeaꞌ?”

¹¹Ana nataa nae, “Maneniko o manuu badu dua, sona fee esa leo lahenda fo ta nanuu badu fa. Maneniko o hapu nanaaꞌ, sona bati fee lahenda fo ta nanuu nanaaꞌ fa.”

¹²Basa de, mana susu bea ra mai boe, fo hule Yohanis sarani si. Ara ratane rae, “Papa mesen! Ami muste tao ubea?”

¹³Ana nataa nae, “Kalu mana pareta raetuꞌ ra raun ara doi bea na hida, sona ara bae tuka ria.”

¹⁴Hapu soldadu hida rai na boe. Ara ratane Yohanis rae, “Kalu ami, leo beaꞌ? Ami muste tao ubeaꞌ?” Ana nataa nae, “Bosoꞌ masalaꞌo kokose lahenda doi-talin tuka emi hihii mara. Ma bosoꞌ mafararaꞌu kolaaꞌ lahenda. Emi muste hule makasi ma sipo noi kadi mara, ria dai so.”

¹⁵Ramanene dedean sira, boe ma lahenda ra mulai esa dukuꞌ esa rae, “Ae! Bate Yohanis ia nana, Kristus, fo neme uluꞌ mai Manetualain helu nae fee Ni mai a!”

¹⁶Tehuu Yohanis nasaꞌai si nae, “Nenene matalolole! Neuꞌ ko Lahenda esa mai kuasa Na lena au. Leo mae au dadi uꞌ Ria atan boe, ta araa fa. Au sarani emi pake oe, tehuu neuꞌ ko Ana tao lena au, huu fo tao na henu emi dale mara neniꞌ Manetualain Dula-dale Malalao-malalafu Na. Neuꞌ ko Ana tao makamomoi emi, sama leoꞌ lahenda hotu heni kadafuꞌ ara.

¹⁷Ana huku lahenda mana tao salaꞌ ara, sama leoꞌ lahenda mana oru a teeꞌ heni hade a kikili-kauan. Basa nate Ana nadai hade neuꞌ ara, reuꞌ soꞌa ra daleꞌ, tehuu hotu heni kikili-kauan. Leoꞌ na boe, neuꞌ ko Kristus huku lahenda mana tao salaꞌ ara, ma tuꞌu si leo aipila mana basa taꞌa daleꞌ reu.”

¹⁸No ria na, Yohanis fee nafarereneꞌ lahenda ra hihii-nanauꞌ rupaꞌ, ma tui si Manetualain Tutui Malole Na.

¹⁹Tepoꞌ ria boe, Yohanis mulai dedea lelekaꞌ laꞌeneuꞌ Herodes nonoi-tataon. Dedea na leo iaꞌ: Herodes nana gubernor nai propinsi Galilea. Ria sala na dodouꞌ. Leo-leoꞌ ana tonda na fadi na sao ina na, nade Herodias. Sekonaa te, fadi na bei nasoda, ma bei ta namaetuꞌ no Herodias fa. Herodes leleo-lalaꞌon ta laꞌe fa, de Yohanis nasaꞌai lelekaꞌ ana, losaꞌ Herodes eteꞌ ao na. Boe ma Herodes hopu nan, de tee ni leo bui daleꞌ neu.
