¹Hi kahampulu' lima mpae-na poparenta Kaisar Tiberius hi ngata Roma, Pontius Pilatus jadi' gubernur hi tana' Yudea pai' Herodes Antipas to moparenta hi Galilea. Filipus ompi' -na Herodes moparenta hi Iturea pai' hi Trakhonitis, pai' Lisanias moparenta hi Abilene.

¹¶ Na i te tekau ma rima o nga tau o te rangatiratanga o Taipiria Hiha, i a Ponotia Pirato e kawana ana i Huria, i a Herora e tetaraki ana i Kariri, i tona teina hoki, i a Piripi, e tetaraki ana i Ituria, i te whenua hoki o Tarakonaiti, ko Raihania e tetaraki ana i Apirini,

²To jadi' Imam Bohe nto'u toe, Hanas pai' Kayafas. Hi mpae tohe'e, Alata'ala mpoparata lolita-na hi Yohanes ana' Zakharia hi papada to wao'.

²Ko Anaha raua ko Kaiapa nga tohunga nui, ka puta te kupu a te Atua ki a Hoani tama a Hakaraia ki te koraha.

³Jadi', momako' -imi Yohanes mure' -nca'u ue Yordan mpoparata Lolita Alata'ala hi ntodea, na'uli': "Medea-mokoi ngkai jeko' -ni, pai' kana tumai-koi kuniu', bona Alata'ala mpo'ampungi jeko' -ni."

³Na ka haere mai ia ki nga wahi katoa e patata ana ki Horano, ka kauwhau i te iriiri ripeneta hei murunga hara;

⁴Yohanes toei mpopadupa' napa to te'uki' hi rala sura nabi Yesaya owi, moni-na 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'!

⁴I pera ano ia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga korero a Ihaia poropiti, He reo no tetahi i te koraha e karanga ana, Whakapaia te huarahi o te Ariki, whakatikaia ona ara;

⁵To lobu' -na kana ra'ihii', to molangko pai' to pabulu' -bulu' kana rapohimpaya'. To pahiku-hiku rapomonoa', pai' to moloke' -loke' rapokalempe.

⁵Ka whakakiia nga awaawa katoa, ka whakahoroa nga maunga me nga pukepuke katoa; e meinga hoki kia tika nga wahi kopikopiko, ko nga wahi taratara hei ara maeneene.

⁶Oti toe, hawe'ea manusia' mpohilo Alata'ala mpohore ntodea-na ngkai jeko' -ra.'"

⁶A e kite nga kikokiko katoa i te whakaoranga a te Atua.

⁷Wori' tauna tumai mpopeniu' hi Yohanes. Na'uli' Yohanes mpo'uli' -raka: "He koi' to bengku' gau' -ni! Napa pai' tumai-koie? Ba ni'uli' -koina, ma'ala mpai' nipasalewa roe Pue' Ala to neo' mporumpa' -koi?

⁷Na reira ka mea ia ki nga mano i haere kia iriiria e ia, E te uri nakahi, na wai koutou i whakamahara kia rere i te riri meake puta mai?

⁸Ane bongko medea-mokoi ngkai jeko' -ni, babehi-mokoi gau' to lompe'. Pai' neo' nipoperaha kamuli-na Abraham-koi! Bona ni'inca: muli Abraham bisa napajadi' Alata'ala ngkai watu-watu toe lau.

⁸Na whakaputaina nga hua e rite ana ki o te ripeneta; kei anga kei mea i roto i a koutou, Ko Aperahama to tatou matua: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E ahei ana ano i te Atua te whakaara tamariki ake ma Aperahama i roto i enei kohatu.

⁹Neo' 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."

⁹Na inaianei ano kei te pa te toki ki te pakiaka o nga rakau: ki te kahore tetahi rakau e hua i te hua pai, ka tuaina, ka maka ki te ahi.

¹⁰Ntodea mpekune' Yohanes, ra'uli': "Ane wae, napa-kaiwo to kana kibabehi?"

¹⁰Na ka ui nga mano ki a ia, ka mea, Me aha ra matou?

¹¹Na'uli' Yohanes: "Hema-koi to rontonga' baju-ni, hantonga' wai' -raka-rawo to uma nakariai. Pai' tauna to ria pongkoni' -ra, bagii-ra-rawo to uma ria pongkoni' -ra."

¹¹Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te tangata i nga koti e rua, kia hoatu ki te tangata kahore ona; me te tangata he kai tana, kia pera ano.

¹²Rata wo'o-ra-rawo topesingara' paja' mpopeniu' hi Yohanes. Mepekune' -ra, ra'uli': "Guru, napa-kaiwo to kana kibabehi-e?"

¹²Na ka haere mai hoki nga pupirikana kia iriiria, ka mea ki a ia, E te kaiwhakaako, me aha matou?

¹³Natompoi' -ra: "Neo' -koi mesingara' melabi ngkai to rapakatantu topoparenta."

¹³Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kei nui ake i nga mea i whakaritea ma koutou ta koutou e tango ai.

¹⁴Rata wo'o-ra-rawo tantara mpekune' -i, ra'uli': "Hiaa' beiwa wo'o-ka-kaiwo kai'! Napa-kaiwo to kana kibabehi-e?" Na'uli' -raka: "Neo' -koi mporampaki rewa doo, pai' neo' mpo'ekahi ntodea bona rawai' -koi doi. Hangkuja-mi-hawo gaji' -ni, tarima-mi hante kagoea' nono."

¹⁴Ka ui ano hoki nga hoia ki a ia, ka mea, Me aha hoki matou? Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Kaua e tukinotia tetahi, kaua e muru noa i tetahi mea; kati ano ma koutou ko o koutou utu.

¹⁵Nto'u toe, ntodea ntora mpopea karata-na Magau' Topetolo' to najanci Alata'ala. Hawe'ea-ra mepekune' hi rala nono-ra, meka' ba lue' Yohanes lau-mi Magau' Topetolo' to rapopea toe.

¹⁵¶ Na, i te iwi e tatari ana e whakaaroaro katoa ana i roto i o ratou ngakau ki a Hoani, mehemea ko te Karaiti ia;

¹⁶Toe pai' Yohanes mpo'uli' -raka omea: "Ane aku' -le, mponiu' -koi hante ue-wadi, tanda kamedea-ni ngkai jeko' -ni. Tapi' tumai-i mpai' to meliu kuasa-na ngkai aku'. Bangku' jadi' pahawaa' -na to mpobongka koloro sapatu' -na, uma-a-kuwo natao. Hi'a mpai' to mponiu' -koi hante Inoha' Tomoroli' pai' hante apu.

¹⁶Ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea ki a ratou katoa, Ko ahau nei, he iriiri taku i a koutou ki te wai; kei te haere mai ia tetahi he kaha rawa ake i ahau, e kore ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o ona hu: mana koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te k apura.

¹⁷Hi'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-na, pai' to lopa' -na nasuwe hi rala apu to jela' ncuu duu' kahae-hae-na."

¹⁷Ko tana mea tahi kei tona ringa, hei tino tahi i tana patunga witi, hei kohi hoki i te witi ki roto ki tana whare witi: ko te papapa ia e tahuna ki te kapura e kore e tineia.

¹⁸Hewa toei Yohanes mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi ntodea, pai' naparesai' -ra nte wori' nyala tudui' -na.

¹⁸He maha atu ano ana kupu whakahau i kauwhau ai ia i te rongopai ki te iwi.

¹⁹Pai' nakamaro wo'o kasalaa' -na Herodes Antipas, topoparenta hi tana' Galilea, apa' Herodes mpo'ago pai' mpotobine Herodias, tobine ompi' -na moto. Yohanes mpokamaro-i sabana gau' -na toe, pai' sabana hawe'ea gau' -na to dada'a ntani' -na.

¹⁹Otira, na tona riringa i a Herora tetaraki mo Heroriaha, mo te wahine a tona tuakana, a Piripi, a mo nga kino katoa hoki i meinga e Herora;

²⁰Jadi', kana'epe-na Herodes pekamaro Yohanes toe, uma-di nabalii' gau' -na to dada'a, nadonihii lau-di: nahoko' lau-imi Yohanes pai' -i natarungku'.

²⁰Ka apititia atu e Herora tenei ki runga i era katoa, tutakina ana e ia a Hoani ki te whare herehere.

²¹Kako'ia-na Yohanes ratarungku', bula-na meniu' -pidi mponiu' ntodea, Yesus wo'o-hawo tumai mpopeniu'. Ka'oti-nai raniu', bula-na mosampaya, muu-mule' tebea-mi langi',

²¹¶ Na, ka poto katoa te iwi te iriiri, i a Ihu kua oti te iriiri, a i a ia e inoi ana, ka tuwhera te rangi,

²²pai' Inoha' Tomoroli' mana'u tumai dungku hi Yesus, lence-na hewa danci mangkebodo. Pai' Alata'ala mololita ngkai suruga mpo'uli' -ki Yesus: "Iko toi-mi Ana' -ku to kupe'ahi'. Iko-mi to mpakagoe' nono-ku."

²²A ka heke iho te Wairua Tapu, ka heke tinana iho, ano he kukupa, ki runga ki a ia, a ka puta mai he reo no te rangi, e mea ana, Ko koe taku Tama i aroha ai, taku i ahuareka ai.
