Chapter 1

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

 Tutura-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." 

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

 Hewa 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." 

 Wori' 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. 

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

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

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

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

 Wae 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. 

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

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

 Opo' 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. 

 ¶ Ko'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, 

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

 Bula-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. 

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

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

 Napaliliu-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. 

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

 Ngkai 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'. 

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

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

 "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." 

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

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

 Konce 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!" 

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

 ¶ Kanculii' -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. 

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

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

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

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

 Wori' 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. 

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

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

 "Wori' tauna mpali' -ko Guru." 

 Na'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'." 

 Ngkai 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. 

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

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

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

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

 neo' 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." 

 Ntaa' 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.
