Luke 3:4-14

⁴ʼIdewani Buki Nugwenugweina ʼinaya tovesimasimana Aisea simana ʼifoqeyea vonaya, “Tovegabagaba taha diʼwe ʼavaʼavaya bonana qiduana ʼinega vonaya, ‘Kaiwabu ena ʼeda ona qadalia ta ona givetuvetunuqia.

⁵Ta bwanaga qabudi ona aledi be ina vedumiʼa, ta ʼawagou qabudi ona yamunidi, ta wese ʼeda komwakomwadi ona givetunutunuqidi ta wese ʼeda ʼawaʼawagoudi ona luvuyovuyoidi.

⁶Ta ʼinega tomotau qabudi Yaubada ena ʼetoyavua ina ʼitea.’”

⁷ʼInega tomotau qabudi itauya Ioni ʼinaya sabi babitaiso ta Ioni nana vonedi vonaya, “Omiʼa touʼava ʼidewana mwata natunavo! Ta onuaia vonigo nawale Yaubada ena gamohoqala ʼinega ona dena, waisa? Ta togama vonemi?

⁸ʼInega luaqiaqiemi be emi nuagivila aqiaqi ona veʼitayea emi ilivu aqiaqidi ʼidiega, ta ge ona vonaya, ‘Imaʼa Ebelamo ʼaqegiginavo ʼinega Yaubada nanuakolokoloyema.’ Gebu otaqa! Yavona aqiaqiemi, Yaubada ana fata ami luseana dabo baʼe ʼidiega Ebelamo ʼaqegiginavo naʼivaʼavaʼaidi.

⁹Ta ʼeguma emi ilivu ge aqiaqidi nawale Yaubada naluvematasabumi ʼidewani ʼaiwe ʼeguma ge navuaqa aqiaqi nawale tomotau ina talaqa yavulei be ʼaiwe ʼalaʼalata ʼinaya ina felei naʼalaia.”

¹⁰ʼInega qabudi Ioni ivetalaʼaiea ivonaya, “Isana maʼoda ana viaqa ʼaiqa?”

¹¹Ta Ioni vonedi vonaya, “ʼEguma toga oʼa au kaleko magilafudi ta iau ge ana kalekomo, e ʼinega taha una neia. Ta wese ʼidewani ʼeguma toga au ʼabwaga ʼeala e ʼinega dibuna iau una neia.”

¹²Ta wese vaina takesi ana toʼewayavo imai sabi babitaiso, ta ʼinega Ioni ʼinaya wese ivetalaʼaiea ivonaya, “Toveʼita, imaʼa maʼoda ama luvine?”

¹³ʼInega Ioni vonedia, “Takesi ana luvineyega mane ona ʼewea tomotau ʼidiega, ta ge taumiega luvetomana ona aʼui be ona ʼeweʼewei.”

¹⁴Ta wese vaina toluavia ivevetalaʼaiea ivonaya, “Ta imaʼa maʼoda ama luvine?” ʼInega Ioni vonedi vonaya, “Omiʼa ami veʼia niʼau ami fata ta weaqidi ona qaiawa. Ta ge uʼavega be givemwaninivega ana luvetomana ona ʼeweʼewei.”
