¹Ba hangkuja kahae-na oti toe, rata-mi Yohanes Topeniu' hi papada to wao' hi Yudea, pai' natepu'u-mi mpopalele Lolita Pue' hi ntodea,

¹施洗约翰（可1:3-8；路3:2-17；约1:19-28）

²na'uli' -raka: "Medea-mokoi ngkai jeko' -ni, apa' neo' rata-mi tempo-na Alata'ala jadi' Magau' hi dunia'."

²说：“天国近了，你们应当悔改。”

³Yohanes toe-imi to nalowa nabi Yesaya owi. Na'uli' Yesaya hewa toi: Ria tauna to mekio' hi papada to wao', na'uli': `Neo' rata-imi Pue'! Porodo ami' -miki ohea-na. Nipakalempe ami' -mi ohea to natara mpai'.'"

³以赛亚先知所说：“在旷野有呼喊者的声音：‘预备主的道，修直他的路！’”就是指着这约翰说的。

⁴Pohea-na Yohanes rababehi ngkai wulu porewua to rahanga' unta. Salepe' -na ngkai kuliba. Koni' -na lari pai' ue wani.

⁴约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。

⁵Wori' tauna to hilou hi papada to wao' doko' mpo'epe lolita-na. Ria-ra ngkai ngata Yerusalem, pai' ngkai humalili' tana' Yudea, ria wo'o ngkai ngata-ngata to hampanca'ua ue Yordan.

⁵耶路撒冷、犹太全地和约旦河一带的人都出来到他那里去，

⁶Hilou-ra mpangaku' jeko' -ra, pai' naniu' -ra hi ue Yordan tanda kamedea-ra ngkai jeko' -ra.

⁶承认自己的罪，在约旦河里受了他的洗。

⁷Wori' wo'o pangkeni agama Yahudi to rahanga' to Parisi pai' to Saduki tumai mpopeniu' hi Yohanes. Kanahilo-ra rata, na'uli' -raka: "He koi' to bengku' gau' -ni! Napa pai' tumai mpopeniu' -koie? Ba ni'uli' -koina, ma'ala mpai' nipasalewa roe Alata'ala to neo' mporumpa' -koi!

⁷约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人也来受他的洗，就对他们说：“毒蛇所生的啊，谁指示你们逃避那将要来的忿怒呢？

⁸Ane bongko medea-mokoi ngkai jeko' -ni, babehi-mokoi gau' to lompe'.

⁸应当结出果子来，与悔改的心相称。

⁹Pai' neo' nipoperaha kamuli-na Abraham-koi, neo' ni'uli' hi rala nono-ni: `Uma-hawo mpai' nahuku' -kai Alata'ala.' Tetu-e uma makono! Bona ni'inca: muli Abraham bisa napajadi' Alata'ala ngkai watu-watu toe lau.

⁹你们心里不要以为：‘我们有亚伯拉罕作我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们，　神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起后裔来。

¹⁰Neo' rata-mi pehuku' Alata'ala! Pehuku' -na hewa pati to rodo ami' -mi hi tawu kaju. Butu ngkaju-na to uma lompe' wua' -na, bate ratoki pai' ratene' hi rala apu."

¹⁰现在斧头已经放在树根上，所有不结好果子的树，就砍下来，丢在火里。

¹¹Na'uli' wo'o-mi Yohanes: "Aku' toi mponiu' -koi hante ue, tanda kamedea-ni ngkai jeko' -ni. Tapi' tumai-i mpai' ngkabokoa' ngkai aku' hadua to meliu kuasa-na ngkai aku'. Bangku' jadi' pahawaa' -na to mpokeni sapatu' -na, uma-a-kuwo natao. Hi'a mpai' to mponiu' -koi hante Inoha' Tomoroli' pai' hante apu.

¹¹我用水给你们施洗，表示你们悔改；但在我以后要来的那一位，能力比我更大，我就是替他提鞋也没有资格。他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。

¹²Hi'a ma'ala rarapai' -ki tauna to mpowiri' pae. Nagaa' pae to mo'ihi ngkai to lopa' -na duu' -na me'itu'. Pae to mo'ihi napuna' hi rala wilulu, pai' to lopa' -na nasuwe hi rala apu to jela' ncuu duu' kahae-hae-na."

¹²他手里拿着簸箕，要扬净麦场，把麦子收进仓里，却用不灭的火把糠秕烧尽。”

¹³Nto'u toe, Yesus tumai ngkai tana' Galilea rata hi ue Yordan. Rata hi ria, mpopeniu' wo'o-i-hawo hi Yohanes.

¹³耶稣受洗（可1:9-11；路3:21-22）那时，耶稣从加利利来到约旦河约翰那里，要受他的洗。

¹⁴Tapi' Yohanes, uma-i daho' mponiu' -i, pai' na'uli' -ki: "Kakoo-kono-na, aku' toi-dile to toto-na mpopeniu' hi Iko-e, hiaa' Iko lau-di to tumai hi aku'!"

¹⁴约翰想要阻止他，说：“我应该受你的洗，你却到我这里来吗？”

¹⁵Natompoi' Yesus: "Niu' -ama-hana. Natao moto tababehi toi, bona tatuku' hawe'ea konoa Alata'ala." Ngkai ree, naniu' mpu'u-imi.

¹⁵耶稣回答：“暂且这样作吧。我们理当这样履行全部的义。”于是约翰答应了他。

¹⁶Ka'oti-na Yesus raniu', mencore-imi ngkai rala ue. Tebea ncorobaa-mi langi', pai' nahilo-hawo, Inoha' Alata'ala mana'u tumai hewa danci mangkebodo, hompo hi Hi'a.

¹⁶耶稣受了洗，立刻从水中上来；忽然，天为他开了，他看见　神的灵，好像鸽子降下来，落在他身上；

¹⁷Oti toe, ra'epe-mi lolita Alata'ala ngkai langi' to mpo'uli': "Hi'a toi-mi ana' -ku to kupe'ahi'. Hi'a-mi to mpakagoe' nono-ku."

¹⁷又有声音从天上来，说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。”
