3 Mu eyaakha ya neekhumi nathanu ya olamulelo wa Tiperiyu Kaisara, vaavaa Pontiyu Pilatu aareiye mulamuleli o Yuteya, Heroti* alamulelaka muceche wo Kalileya, munnawe awiichaniwa Filipi alamulelaka miceche so Itureya ni Trakonite, nave Lisaniyu alamulelaka muceche wo Apileni, 2 mmahiku yaawo Anaxi ni Kayafa yaaryaaya ahooleli a alipa a mukucho, masu a Muluku yaarwa wa Yohani mwaana a Sakariya otakhwani.

3 Hiihaa, Yohani aaheeceeca makupa oothene a muhice Yortano, alaleeryaka sa opatiso ntoko yawooniherya ya orukunuxa murima wi ileveleliwe soocheka, 4 hiihaa ntoko erempwaaya mu liivuru a masu a mulipa a miririmu Yesaya: “Ninniiweya nsu na muchu nikhuwelaka otakhwani nriki: ‘Murehererye ephiro ya Yehova! Nwookolole arampha awe. 5 Mikoti soothene inaphwanela wuuheeliwa, nave miyaako ni icucuwa soothene inaphwanela opwexiwa; miphiro sookhoromana inaphwanela wookololiwa nave matikilikwa anaphwanela weereryanyiwa; 6 nave ikumi* soothene inarwa soona ovuluxa wa Muluku.’”*

7 Mwawiihiiha, Yohani aanaloca ni muloko wa achu waarwa wi opatisiwe, ariki: “Muyareriwo wa ivili nyu, taani oolenleeni wi muchawe esara enoorwa? 8 Mwawiihiiha, mphareke miteko sinooniherya orukunuxa wanyu murima. Muhipacerye oloca meekhiinyu muriki: ‘Apapa ahu ti Aparahamu.’ Chiri miyo kinnooleelaani wi Muluku onanwerya omvaha Aparahamu anamwane moorweela wa maluku ala. 9 Hiihaa, epaso yookuheryiwa mitathaari sa miri. Nave miri soothene sihinavaha sawiima saphaama sinahaala wuuhiwa ni ovonyeriwa vamooroni.”

10 Muloko wa achu waanamukoha: “Vano, tiheeni nnaphwanelaahu weera?” 11 Owo aanawaakhula ariki: “Muchu yoowo orino soowara* piili, emoha amvahe yoole ohirino, nave yoole orino yoolya eereno emohamoha.” 12 Ophiyerya tho alipa a muxokho yaanarwa wi epatisiwe, nave yaamukoha eriki: “Muhusiha, tiheeni nnaphwanelaahu weera?” 13 Owo aawaakhula: “Muhaaliviheke* achu opwaha mummo muleeliwaanyu.” 14 Nave tho anakhoco yaanamukoha: “Tiheeni nnaphwanelaahu weera?” Owo aanaaleela: “Muhimwiiyereke* naari omootherya muchu, nto mukhwaaneliweke ni yeeyo munaakhelaanyu.”*

15 Vano, woona wi achu yaananwehererya Kristu, oothene yaanuupuwela mmurimani mwaya vooloca sa Yohani eriki: “Apwanne Kristu ti yoola?” 16 Yohani aawaakhula oothene: “Miyo kinnoopatisaani ni maahi, nto yoowo onarwa tori ooweryaxa okipwaha miyo, nave nkaano ophwanelela wa otaphula mikoi sa asantaalya* awe. Owo onarwa oopatisaani ni munepa waweela vamoha ni mooro. 17 Mmatani mwawe ookhalano echu yoomveerano tiriku nave onahaala orehererya nipuro noomwiipichavo; onammukhapelela tiriku munikhupini mwawe, nto makate* ene onahaala weeyela ni mooro ohinawerya oxipihiwa.”

18 Yohani tho aahaaceenyerya mu ichu ikina sincipale nave aatitelela olaleerya michaka saphaama wa achu. 19 Nto Heroti mulamuleli o Kalileya, aalopoliwa ni Yohani wanthowa na omuthela Herotiya, mwaara a munnawe nave tho aalopoliwa wanthowa na sootakhala sikina sincipale seiho eenreiyeno, 20 owo aahaaceererya saweera seiha soonanara moorweela wa ela: Onwalela Yohani mukariposo.

21 Vano, vaavaa achu oothene yaapatisiwaaya, Yesu tho aapatisiwa. Avekelaka, wirimu waahuleyawo, 22 nave munepa waweela ntoko ekakaiya waamukhuruwela yoowo, voocharela, naahiiweya nsu noorweela wirimu, nriki: “Weyo wa Mwanaka, oosiveliwa; miyo kinnaweemererya weyo.”
