¹The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

¹Tohe'i-mi Kareba Lompe', tutura katuwu' -na Yesus Kristus, Ana' Alata'ala.

²As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

²Tutura-na ntepu'u ngkai karata-na Yohanes Topeniu'. Karata-na Yohanes toei, telowa ami' -mi hi rala sura nabi Yesaya. Hante wiwi nabi, Alata'ala mpo'uli' -ki Ana' -na hewa toi: Hi'a toi-mi suro-ku, kuhubui-i meri'ulu ngkai Iko, bona mporodo ohea-nu."

³The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

³"Mekio' -i hi papada to wao', na'uli': `Neo' rata-imi Pue'! Porodo ami' -miki ohea-na. Nipakalempe ami' -mi ohea to natara mpai'.'"

⁴John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

⁴Hewa to ra'uki' toe, mehupa' mpu'u-imi Yohanes Topeniu' hi papada to wao'. Mpoparata-i Lolita Alata'ala hi ntodea, na'uli': "Medea-mokoi ngkai jeko' -ni, pai' kana tumai-koi kuniu' bona Alata'ala mpo'ampungi jeko' -ni."

⁵And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁵Wori' tauna to hilou hi papada to wao' doko' mpo'epe lolita-na Yohanes. Ria-ra ngkai ngata Yerusalem pai' ngkai hawe'ea ngata hi tana' Yudea. Hilou-ra mpangaku' jeko' -ra, pai' naniu' -ra hi ue Yordan, tanda kamedea-ra ngkai jeko' -ra.

⁶And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

⁶Pohea-na Yohanes rababehi ngkai wulu porewua to rahanga' unta. Salepe' -na ngkai kuliba. Koni' -na lari pai' ue wani.

⁷And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

⁷Mpopalele-i kareba toi: "Ngkabokoa' ngkai aku', tumai mpai' to meliu kuasa-na ngkai aku'. Bangku' mowilingkudu mpobongka koloro sapatu' -na, uma-a-kuwo natao.

⁸I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

⁸Aku' mponiu' -koi hante ue tanda kamedea-ni ngkai jeko' -ni. Aga Hi'a mpai' mponiu' -koi hante Inoha' Tomoroli'."

⁹And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

⁹Rala-na ha'eo, Yesus me'ongko' ngkai ngata Nazaret hi tana' Galilea, tumai mpopeniu' hi Yohanes. Yohanes mponiu' -i hi ue Yordan.

¹⁰And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

¹⁰Wae ka'oti-na raniu', mencore-imi ngkai ue, pai' mpohilo-imi langi' mobea pai' Inoha' Tomoroli' mana'u tumai molence mpo-danci mangkebodo hompo hi Hi'a.

¹¹And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹¹Alata'ala mololita ngkai langi' mpo'uli' -ki: "Iko toi-mi Ana' -ku to kupe'ahi'. Iko-mi to mpakagoe' nono-ku."

¹²And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

¹²Oti toe, Inoha' Tomoroli' mpakeni Yesus lou hi papada to wao'.

¹³And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

¹³Opo' mpulu' eo-i hi ria. Bula-na hi papada toe, Magau' Anudaa' mposori-i. Binata to me'ila dohe-na, pai' mala'eka mpomawai-i.

¹⁴Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

¹⁴Ko'ia mahae ngkai ree, Yohanes Topeniu' rahoko' pai' -i ratarungku'. Nto'u toe, hilou-imi Yesus hi tana' Galilea, pai' -i mpopalele Kareba Lompe' to ngkai Alata'ala,

¹⁵And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

¹⁵na'uli': "Neo' rata-mi tempo-na Alata'ala jadi' Magau' hi dunia'! Medea-mokoi ngkai jeko' -ni, pangala' -mi Kareba Lompe'."

¹⁶Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

¹⁶Bula-na momako' hi wiwi' rano Galilea, mpohilo-i rodua tauna. Hanga' -ra: Simon hante Andreas ompi' -na. Nto'u toe, bula-ra mebau' hi rano mojala', apa' toe-mi-rawo bago-ra.

¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁷Yesus mpo'uli' -raka: "Mai-mokoi ntuku' -a! Uma-pokoi mebau' mpali' uru. Ngkai wae lau, kuwai' -koi pobago mpotudui' tauna mepangala' hi Aku'."

¹⁸And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

¹⁸Karapalahii-nami jala' -ra, pai' ntepu'u eo toe mpotuku' Yesus-ramo.

¹⁹And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

¹⁹Napaliliu-mi Yesus momako', ko'ia molaa ngkai ree mpohilo wo'o-imi rodua to ntali ompi': Yakobus pai' Yohanes, ana' -na Zebedeus. Hira' toe, bula-ra mpokolompehii jala' -ra hi rala sakaya.

²⁰And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

²⁰Nakio' -ramo mpotuku' -i. Jadi', rapalahii-mi tuama-ra hi rala sakaya hante tauna to dohe-ra to ngkoni' gaji', pai' mpotuku' Yesus-ramo.

²¹And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

²¹Ngkai ree, Yesus hante topetuku' -na hilou hi ngata Kapernaum. Hi eo pepuea' to Yahudi, mesua' -imi hi rala tomi posampayaa pai' natepu'u-mi metudui'.

²²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

²²Konce-ramo tauna to mpo'epe tudui' -na. Apa' uma-i metudui' hewa guru-guru agama. Petudui' -na, hewa tauna to mokuasa mpu'u.

²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²³Nto'u toe, ria hadua tauna to nahawi' anudaa', mesua' wo'o-i-hawo hi tomi posampayaa toe, pai' -i mejeu':

²⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

²⁴"Ee Yesus to Nazaret! Doko' nupopai-dakaie? Ba doko' nuropuhi-dakaie? Ku'inca moto-kole, ka'Iko-na Suro to moroli' ngkai Alata'ala-e."

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

²⁵Yesus mpo'uli' -ki anudaa' toei: "Ngkaba'i-ko! Palai-ko ngkai tauna tetui!"

²⁶And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

²⁶Tauna toei moridi' sabana anudaa', pai' -i me'au, pai' malai-mi anudaa' to mpohawi' -i.

²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

²⁷Konce omea-ramo tauna to mpohilo, alaa-na momepololitai-ramo ra'uli': "Uma mowo-e'! Toi-e tudui' to bo'u, ria mpu'u baraka' -na! Mpopalai-i anudaa', bo ratuku' mpu'u-diki-hana hawa' -nae!"

²⁸And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

²⁸Ngkai ree, kamolele-nami kareba to mpotompo'wiwi Yesus hobo' hi tana' Galilea.

²⁹And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

²⁹Kanculii' -ra Yesus hante ana'guru-na ngkai tomi posampayaa toe, hilou-ramo hi tomi-ra Simon pai' Andreas. Yakobus pai' Yohanes hilou wo'o dohe-ra.

³⁰But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

³⁰Hi ria, piniana-na Simon tobine ntora turu apa' ngkelengi' -i. Rapesahui mpo'uli' -ki Yesus kapeda' -na.

³¹And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

³¹Ngkai ree, hilou-imi Yesus hi poturua-na, nakamu pale-na pai' napopemata-i. Ncaliu mo'uri' -imi, pai' -i mpolayani-ra.

³²And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

³²Ncimonou' toe, limpa-mi eo, wori' tauna tumai hi Yesus mpokeni hawe'ea to peda' ba to nahawi' seta.

³³And all the city was gathered together at the door.

³³Wori' pue' ngata tumai morumpu hi berewe tomi Simon.

³⁴And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

³⁴Wori' tauna to napaka'uri' ngkai haki' -ra to wori' nyala. Wori' wo'o seta to mpesuai' tauna napopalai. Aga seta toera, uma-ra napiliu mololita, apa' ra'inca moto Kahi'a-na Ana' Alata'ala.

³⁵And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

³⁵Kamepulo-na parabaja-pidi, memata-imi Yesus pai' -i malai ngkai ngata hilou hi kawaoa' -na, lou mosampaya.

³⁶And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

³⁶Simon hante doo-na hilou mpali' -i. Kararua' -na, ra'uli' -ki:

³⁷And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

³⁷"Wori' tauna mpali' -ko Guru."

³⁸And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

³⁸Na'uli' -raka: "Hilou-tamo hi ngata ntani' -na to mohu' bona mpokeni Lolita Alata'ala hi ria wo'o-a. Apa' toe-mi patuju-ku tumai hi dunia'."

³⁹And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

³⁹Ngkai ree, kahilou-nami Yesus hante ana'guru-na mpokeni Lolita Alata'ala hi hawe'ea ngata hi tana' Galilea. Metudui' -i hi rala tomi-tomi posampayaa, pai' -i mpopalai seta to mpesuai' tauna.

⁴⁰And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

⁴⁰Ria hadua tauna to mohaki' poko' rata hi Yesus. Powingkotu' -nami mpopetulungi, na'uli': "Ane ma'ala, paka'uri' -a-kuwo!"

⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

⁴¹Metumu' -mi ahi' -na Yesus mpohilo-i. Toe pai' najama-i pai' na'uli' -ki: "Ma'ala moto, kupaka'uri' -moko!"

⁴²And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

⁴²Hampinisi mata, moronto-mi haki' -na, mo'uri' -imi.

⁴³And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

⁴³Oti toe, Yesus mpohubui-i hilou, na'uli' -ki: "Kutagi mpu'u-ko,

⁴⁴And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁴⁴neo' nulolita hi hema-hema napa to jadi' tohe'i-e. Hilou-moko ulu mpopehuwu woto-nu hi imam, bona nahilo kamo'uri' -numi, pai' keni pepue' -nu ntuku' parenta to te'uki' hi rala Atura Musa, bona monoa' hi hawe'ea tauna kamo'uri' -nu mpu'u-mi."

⁴⁵But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

⁴⁵Ntaa' we'i, kahilou-na tauna toei, ntora nalolita lau-mi hiapa-apa kanapaka'uri' -na Yesus. Alaa-na, Yesus uma-ipi bisa mesua' hi rala ngata apa' wori' rahi tauna mpotipuhi-i. Mo'oha' hi mali ngata-i-damo hi kawaoa' -na. Aga nau' wae, uma oa' ria kaputua-na tauna tumai ngkai wori' ngata doko' mpohirua' -ki.
