I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and with fire:
12 Nw ninyigv aamtami kapkak nvnv upua doogv sudu. Nw ninyigv amkarmikar a nesunglo gvvlwk reku, vbvritola amsokmisok a nyimanv vmvlo ramyok reku.”

Then comes Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 Vbvritola Jon ninyigv mvngnama mvngkurmvngrwk modubv gwngkwto, Jon minto, “Ngo ya no gvlo baptisma naaya svnga, no ngoogvlo ayapvi!”
But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you, and come you to me?

And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up immediately out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit (pneuma) of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 Vbvrikunamv nyidomooku tolokv gaamgo minto, “Si ngo atubogv paknam Kuunyilo ngv, ngoogv mvngyum namv.”
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
