"Ba Iko mpu'u-midi Magau' Topetolo' to najanci Alata'ala-e, ba ria-pidi to ntani' -na to kipopea?" Hilou mpu'u-ramo mpoparata pompekunea' Yohanes toe hi Yesus.
4.
Kana'epe-na Yesus pompekunea' toe, na'uli' -raka suro toera: "Nculii' -mokoi, uli' -ki retu hawe'ea napa to ni'epe pai' to nihilo:
5.
To wero pehilo-mi, to kejo momako' monoa' -mi, topohaki' poko' mo'uri', to wongo pe'epe, tomate kupotuwu' nculii', pai' Kareba Lompe' kuparata-mi hi tauna to mpe'ahii' tuwu' -ra.

¶ Kanculii' -ra suro Yohanes Topeniu' toera, mololita-imi Yesus hi ntodea, mpotompo'wiwi Yohanes. Na'uli': "Napa patuju-ni hilou mpohirua' -ki Yohanes hi tana' to wao'? Ba doko' -koi mpohilo tauna to morara' nono-na, to hewa pimpi to nawui ngolu' molue hilou tumai? Uma-hawo, apa' uma hewa toe kehi-na Yohanes.

Jadi', hilou doko' mpohilo napa-dikoie? Ba doko' mpohilo nabi-dikoi? Ane tetu, makono lia. Apa' Yohanes tetui meliu ngkai nabi to ntani' -na.
10.
Apa' hi'a tetu-mi to mporodo nono-ra ntodea mpotarima-a, hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' owi. Na'uli' Alata'ala: `Hi'a toi-mi suro-ku, kuhubui-i meri'ulu ngkai Iko, bona mporodo ohea-nu.'"
11.
Na'uli' wo'o-mi Yesus: "Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi: ngkai hawe'ea tauna to putu hi dunia' toi, uma ria haduaa to meliu kabohe tuwu' -na ngkai Yohanes Topeniu'. Aga ngkai wae lau, marasi' mpu'u-ra tauna to jadi' ntodea-na Alata'ala hi rala Kamagaua' -na. Nau' to kedi' lia tuwu' -ra, meliu kamarasi' -ra ngkai Yohanes.

21.
Na'uli' Yesus: "Silaka-koi to Korazim pai' to Betsaida! Wori' moto-mi tanda mekoncehi kubabehi hi ngata-ni, aga uma oa' -koi medea ngkai jeko' -ni. Ane rapa' -na tanda mekoncehi toe rababehi hi rala ngata Tirus pai' Sidon, ke mahae-ramo-rana medea ngkai jeko' -ra, nau' bela-ra to Yahudi.
