Lep Johana nochwe gi yie ngamia, kendo notweyo kamba mar pien e nungone. Chiembe ne gin bonyo gi mor kich mag bungu. Ji nowuok odhi ire koa Jerusalem gi Judea duto koda ka gwengʼ Jordan duto. Kane gihulo richogi, ne obatisogi e Aora Jordan.
To kane oneno jo-Farisai gi jo-Sadukai ka biro kama ne obatisoe ji, nowachonegi niya, “Un koth thuondegi! En ngʼa mane onyisou mondo uring utony ne mirima mager mabiro? Nyaguru olemo manyiso ni uselokoru uweyo richo. Kendo kik upar e kindu uwegi ni, ‘Wan gi Ibrahim kaka wuonwa.’ Awachonu ni kata mana kuom kitegi Nyasaye nyalo loko nyithind Ibrahim. 10 Le oseketi e tiend yiende kendo yien ka yien ma ok nyag olemo mabeyo ibiro tongʼ mi go piny kendo witi e mach.
11 “An abatisou gi pi mondo omi ulokru uwe richou. To ngʼato biro bangʼa ma oloya gi duongʼ, ma kata akande ok awinjora tingʼo. En obiro batisou gi Roho Maler kod mach. 12 Odheru mare mar piedho cham ni e lwete, kendo obiro yweyo maler kare mar dino cham, kochoko ngano mage okano e dero, to mihudhi to owangʼo gi mach ma ok nyal negi.”
