In the fifteenth year in which Tiberius ruled as High King [or, Emperor], when Pontius Pilate was governor [nórecáno: land-commander], and Herod ruled as farthing-ruler in Galilee, and Philip his brother ruled as farthing-ruler in the regions [of] Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysenias was the farthing-ruler of Abilene, 2 while Annas and Caiaphas were chief priests, God's word came to John, Zechariah's son, in the wilderness.
3 And he went to the entire region around Jordan, preaching baptism of repentance which gives forgivenes of sins, 4 as is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the Prophet: ”A voice that is crying in the wilderness: You prepare the Lord's way, make his paths straight! 5 Every gully will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made flat, and the bends will be made straight paths and the humps smooth roads, 6 and all flesh will see God's salvation.” 7 Etta quentes i şangannar ettúlala náven *tumyaine lo sé: “A hínar leucoron, man anyárie len manen uşe i túlala rúşello? 8 Etta cara yávi valde inwisto. Ar áva *yesta quete indenna: 'Ve atar samilve Avraham.' An quetin lenna i Eru pole orta híni Avrahámen sine sarnollon. 9 É i pelecco yando sí caita ara i aldaron şundo; etta ilya alda ye ua care mára yáve nauva círina undu ar hátina mir i náre.”
10 Ar i şangar maquenter senna: “Tá mana caruvalme?” 11 Hanquentasse quentes téna: “Mauya i neren ye same laupe atta, anta er i quenen ye ua same, ar mauya yen same natali matien care i imya.”
