10 Chaang ah bang heh heng nah joot haat raang ih ban thiin eha; bang marah hetiik tatiikka loong abah joot ano we nah tak ah.
And now also is the axe put to the roote of the trees: therfore euery tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into ye fire.
11 Ngah ih sen juungtem rumhala ah langla sen rangdah nawa ngaaklek etan ih jat suh, enoothong nga lini wasiit ra hala rah ih bah Esa Chiiala nyia we nawa ih tem han. Heh ah nga nang ih elongthoon ang ah; ngah bah Heh lakhoop pak taajoh tha uh taliikang.
In deede I baptize you with water to amendment of life, but he that commeth after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthie to beare: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.

13 Erah tokdi Jisu ah Galili nawa thok haano Juungtemte Joon jiinni Jordan juung ni heh juungtem thuk suh ra taha.
Then came Iesus from Galile to Iordan vnto Iohn, to be baptized of him.
14 Enoothong Joon ih heh tenthun ah lekthun thuk suh taat liita. “Nga juungtem botseh an ih temjih ang tahang,” Joon ih liita, ang abah uh an ah nga jiinni thok halu nih!”
But Iohn earnestly put him backe, saying, I haue neede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me?
15 Eno Jisu ih heh suh ngaak baatta, “Emah ju toom ang ah. Rangte ih jamha loong ah seng emamah ih re theng.” Erah thoidi Joon ih thangta.
