Pea naʻe ulo ʻae maama ʻi he poʻuli; ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ia ʻe he poʻuli.

Ko e Maama moʻoni ia, ʻoku ne fakamaama ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ki māmani.
10 Ọ bịara nʼụwa, ma ụwa bụ ihe e kere site nʼaka ya, ma ụwa amataghị onye ọ bụ.
Naʻe ʻi māmani ia, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻa māmani, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe māmani.
11 Ọ bịakwutere ihe ndị ahụ bụ ndị nke ya, ma ndị ahụ bụ ndị nke ya anabataghị ya.

12 Ma ndị ahụ niile nabatara ya, ndị ahụ niile kweere nʼaha ya ka o nyere ike ịghọ ụmụ Chineke.
Ka ko ia kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ia, naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae monūʻia ke hoko ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua, kiate kinautolu pe naʻe tui ki hono huafa:
13 Ụmụ a na-amụghị site nʼọbara, maọbụ site na mkpebi nke anụ ahụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ mkpebi nke mmadụ, kama site na Chineke.
ʻAia naʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻi he toto, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe kakano, pe ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata, ka ʻi he ʻOtua.
14 Okwu ahụ ghọrọ anụ ahụ birikwa nʼetiti anyị. Anyị ahụla ebube ya, ebube nke onye naanị ya bụ Ọkpara Nna mụrụ, onye si nʼebe Nna nọ bịa, onye jupụtara nʼamara na eziokwu.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Folofola ko e kakano, pea nofo ia ʻiate kitautolu, (pea naʻa mau mamata ki hono nāunau, ko e nāunau ʻoe tokotaha naʻe tupu mei he Tamai, ) ʻoku fonu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
15 Jọn gbara ama banyere ya mgbe ọ na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Onye a bụ onye ahụ m kwuru banyere ya, ‘Onye na-abịa m nʼazụ dị ukwuu karịa m, nʼihi na o bukwa m ụzọ dịrị.’”
Naʻe fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻe Sione, ʻo kalanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko eni ia naʻaku lea ai, Ko ia ʻoku haʻu muimui ʻiate au, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au: he naʻe muʻa ia ʻiate au.’
16 Site nʼịba ụba nke amara ya, anyị niile anatala amara a tụkwasịrị nʼamara.
Pea kuo maʻu ʻekitautolu kotoa pē mei hono fonu, mo e ʻaloʻofa ki he ʻaloʻofa.

He naʻe foaki ʻae fono ʻia Mōsese, ka ko e ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni naʻe haʻu ʻia Sisu Kalaisi.
18 Ọ dịbeghị onye ọbụla hụrụla Chineke, ma Chineke, onye naanị ya bụ Ọkpara Nna mụrụ. Onye ya na Nna dị na mma, emeela ka anyị mata ya.
ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha kuo ne mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻi ha kuonga; ko e ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fatafata ʻoe Tamai, kuo ne fakahā [ia].
19 Nke a bụ ịgba ama Jọn mgbe ndị ndu ndị Juu nọ na Jerusalem zipụrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị ka ha bịa jụọ ya onye ọ bụ?
Pea ko e fakamoʻoni eni ʻa Sione, ʻi he fekau mai ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livaite mei Selūsalema, ke fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?”
20 O mechighị ọnụ ya, kama o kwupụtara sị, “Abụghị m Kraịst ahụ.”
Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ia, ʻo ʻikai fakafisi; kae fakahā pe, ʻOku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi au.
21 Mgbe ahụ ha jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụkwanụ onye? Ị bụ Ịlaịja?” Ọ zara sị ha, “Abụghị m ya.” “Ị bụ Onye amụma ahụ?” “Mba.”
Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ka ko hai?” “Ko ʻIlaisiā koe?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai.” “Ko koe ʻae palōfita ko ia?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “ʻIkai.”
22 Ha sịrị ya, “Ị bụ onye? Nye anyị ọsịsa anyị ga-eweghachiri ndị zitere anyị. Gịnị ka i kwuru banyere onwe gị?”
Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Koeʻuhi ke mau tala kiate kinautolu naʻe fekauʻi ʻakimautolu. “Ko e hā hoʻo lea kiate koe?”
23 Ọ sịrị, dịka Aịzaya onye amụma kwuru, “Abụ m onye na-eti mkpu nʼime ọzara, ‘Meenụ ka ụzọ Onyenwe anyị guzozie.’”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ‘ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, Fakatonutonu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki,’” ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia.
24 Ma ndị Farisii ahụ ezitere

Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke fai papitaiso ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi ko ia ʻa koe, pe ko ʻIlaisiā, pe ko e palōfita ko ia?”
26 Jọn zara ha sị, “Eji m mmiri na-eme baptizim, ma ọ dị otu onye nọ nʼetiti unu nke unu na-amaghị.
Pea leaange ʻa Sione, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai: ka ʻoku tuʻu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo;
27 Onye ahụ nke na-abịa nʼazụ m, onye m na-erughị ịtọpụ eriri akpụkpọụkwụ ya.”
Ko ia ia ʻoku haʻu fakamuimui ʻiate au, ka ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au, ko e nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe ʻoʻona ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke vete.”
28 Ihe a mere na Betani nʼofe osimiri Jọdan bụ ebe Jọn nọ na-eme baptizim.
Naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi Petapala ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻe fai papitaiso ai ʻa Sione.
29 Nʼechi ya, ọ hụrụ ka Jisọs na-abịakwute ya sị, “Leekwa, Nwa Atụrụ Chineke, onye na-ebupụ mmehie ụwa.
Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe mamata ʻa Sione kia Sisu ʻoku ʻalu ange kiate ia, pea ne pehē, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae angahala ʻa māmani.
30 Ọ bụ onye a ka m kwuru okwu ya mgbe ahụ m sịrị, ‘otu nwoke na-abịa nʼazụ m, onye dị ukwuu karịa m, nʼihi na o bukwa m ụzọ dịrị.’

31 Mụ onwe m amataghị ya, ma a bịara m were mmiri na-eme baptizim nʼihi nke a, ka e kpughee ya nye ndị Izrel.”
Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka koeʻuhi ke fakahā ia ki ʻIsileli, ko ia kuo u haʻu ai au, ʻo papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai.”
32 Mgbe ahụ Jọn gbara ama a sị, “Ahụrụ m ka Mmụọ Nsọ sitere nʼeluigwe rịdata dị ka nduru, nọkwasị ya.
Pea fakamoʻoni ʻe Sione, ʻo pehē, “Naʻaku mamata ki he Laumālie ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi ʻo hangē ko e lupe, ʻo nofo kiate ia.’
33 Mụ onwe m amabughị ya, ma onye ahụ zitere m ka m jiri mmiri mee baptizim kwuru, ‘Onye ahụ ị ga-ahụ, onye Mmụọ Nsọ ga-ebekwasị, ma nọgidekwa, ọ bụ ya ga-eji Mmụọ Nsọ mee baptizim.’
Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ke papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate au, ‘Ko ia te ke mamata ʻe ʻalu hifo ki ai ʻae Laumālie, ʻo nofo ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.’
34 Mụ onwe m ahụla ya, na-agbakwa ama na onye a bụ Ọkpara Chineke.”
Pea naʻaku mamata, pea fakamoʻoni ko e ʻAlo eni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
35 Nʼechi ya, Jọn na mmadụ abụọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya guzoro nʼebe ahụ ọzọ.
Pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe tutuʻu ʻa Sione mo ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua;
36 Mgbe ọ hụrụ Jisọs ka ọ na-agafe, ọ sịrị, “Leenụ, Nwa Atụrụ Chineke.”
Pea ne sio fakamamaʻu kia Sisu, ʻi heʻene ʻeveʻeva, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai ki he Lami ʻae ʻOtua!”
37 Mgbe mmadụ abụọ ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya nụrụ nke a, ha tụgharịrị soro Jisọs.
Pea fanongo ki heʻene lea ʻae ongo ākonga, pea na muimui ʻia Sisu.
38 Mgbe Jisọs tụgharịrị hụ ka ha na-eso ya, ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka unu chọrọ?” Ha sịrị ya, “Rabbi” (nke pụtara “Onye ozizi”), “olee ebe i bi?”
Pea tafoki ʻa Sisu, ʻo mamata ki heʻena muimui, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo kumi? Pea na pehē ki ai, “Lāpai, (ko hono ʻuhinga, ʻAkonaki, ) ʻoku ke nofo ʻi fē?”
39 Ọ sịrị ha, “Bịanụ, unu ga-ahụ.” Ha sooro ya ga hụ ebe ọ na-anọ. Ha nọnyekwara ya ụbọchị ahụ niile. Ọ bụ nʼihe dị ka elekere anọ nke mgbede.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.” Pea naʻa na omi, ʻo mamata ki he potu ʻoku nofo ai ia, ʻo na nonofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, he ko hono hongofulu nai ia ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
40 Otu nʼime mmadụ abụọ ahụ nụrụ ihe Jọn kwuru, nke sooro ya bụ Andru nwanne Saimọn Pita.
Ko e tokotaha ʻo kinaua naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻi he fanongo kia Sione, ko ʻAnitelū, ko e tokoua ʻo Saimone Pita.
41 Ihe mbụ o mere bụ ịchọta Saimọn nwanne ya sị ya, “Anyị achọtala Mezaya ahụ” (onye a na-akpọkwa Kraịst).
Pea tomuʻa ʻilo ʻe ia hono tokoua ʻoʻona ko Saimone, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo mau ʻilo ʻae Misaia (ko hono ʻuhinga, ko e Kalaisi.”)
42 Ọ kpọtaara ya Jisọs. O lere ya anya sị, “Ị bụ Saimọn nwa Jọn. A ga-akpọ gị Sefas” (nke nsụgharị ya, pụtara Pita).
Pea ne ʻomi ia kia Sisu. Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu ki ai, naʻa ne pehē, “Ko koe ko Saimone ko e foha ʻo Siona: ʻe ui koe ko Kifasi (ko hono ʻuhinga, ko Pita.”)
43 Nʼechi ya, o kpebiri ịga Galili. Mgbe ọ hụrụ Filip, ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.”
Ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe loto ʻa Sisu ke ʻalu atu ki Kāleli, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻa Filipe, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Muimui ʻiate au.”
44 Filip bụ onye obodo Betsaida dị ka Andru na Pita.
Naʻe mei Petesaita ʻa Filipe, ko e potu ʻo ʻAnitelū mo Pita.
45 Filip chọtara Nataniel sị ya, “Anyị achọtala onye ahụ Mosis dere banyere ya nʼiwu, onye ndị amụma dekwara banyere ya, Jisọs onye Nazaret, nwa Josef.”
Pea ʻilo ʻe Filipe ʻa Nātaniela, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Kuo mau ʻilo ia naʻe tohi ki ai ʻa Mōsese ʻi he fono, mo e kau palōfita, ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, ko e foha ʻo Siosefa.”
46 Nataniel sịrị ya, “Ihe ọma ọbụla ọ pụrụ i si na Nazaret pụta?” Ma Filip sịrị ya, “Bịa ka ị hụrụ.”
Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela kiate ia, “ʻE tupu ha lelei mei Nāsaleti?” Pea pehē ʻe Filipe kiate ia, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
47 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ ka Nataniel na-abịaru ya nso, o kwuru sị, “Leenụ ezi nwa afọ Izrel onye aghụghọ na-adịghị nʼime ya.”
Pea vakai ʻa Sisu kia Nātaniela ʻoku haʻu kiate ia, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ko e ʻIsileli moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha kākā!”
48 Nataniel sịrị ya, “Olee otu i si mata onye m bụ?” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Tupu Filip akpọ gị, ahụlarị m gị ka ị nọ nʼokpuru osisi fiig.”
Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi au mei fē?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻI he teʻeki ui koe ʻe Filipe, ʻi hoʻo ʻi he lolo fiki, ne u ʻiloʻi koe.”
49 Mgbe ahụ, Nataniel zaghachiri, “Onye ozizi, ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke; ị bụ eze Izrel.”
Pea lea ʻa Nātaniela, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Lāpai, ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua; ko e Tuʻi koe ʻo ʻIsileli.”
50 Jisọs zara sị ya, “I kwere nʼihi na agwara m gị na ahụrụ m gị nʼokpuru osisi fiig? Ị ga-ahụ ihe dị ukwuu karịa nke a.”
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala kiate koe, Ne u ʻiloʻi koe ʻi he lolo fiki, ʻoku ke tui ai? Te ke mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi hake ʻi he meʻa ni.”
51 Ọ sịkwara ya, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, unu ga-ahụ eluigwe ka o meghere hụkwa ndị mmụọ ozi Chineke ka ha na-arịgokwuru, ma na-arịdakwuru Nwa nke Mmadụ.”
Pea tala ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Te mou mamata ʻamui ki he langi kuo matangaki, pea mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ʻalu hake mo ʻalu hifo ki he Foha ʻoe tangata.”
