  ¶ Teofilus to rabila': Wori' -mi tauna mperao mpo'uki' dala ngkatuwu' -na Yesus, hewa to jadi' ba hangkuja mpae to liu hi laintongo' -ta. 

  To ra'uki' tohe'e, hibalia hante tutura to raparata-taka tauna to mpohilo mata moto-mi hawe'ea to jadi' toe ngkai lomo' -na pai' to jadi' pangkeni Lolita Pue'. 

  Jadi', ka'oti-ku mpewulihi' hawe'ea-na ngkai tawu-na hante kanoto-noto-na, ku'uli' agina aku' wo'o-kuwo mpo'uki' tutura-na ntuku' pomeduncu-na. 

  Patuju-ku, bona nu'inca kamakono-na mpu'u napa to oti-mi ratudui' -koko. 

  ¶ Nto'u Magau' Herodes moparenta hi tana' Yudea, ria hadua imam to rahanga' Zakharia. Zakharia toei, ngkai posantina imam muli Abia. Hanga' tobine-na, Elisabet, muli imam wo'o-i-hawo. 

  Tau hancamoko toera, monoa' ingku-ra hi poncilo Alata'ala, apa' ratuku' hawe'ea parenta pai' atura Pue' hante uma ria kasalaia' -na. 

  Aga uma-ra mo'anai', apa' Elisabet lalo, pai' tu'a-ramo roduaa-ra. 

  Hangkani, megoli-mi tempo-na imam-imam muli Abia to mpokamu bago Alata'ala, pai' Zakharia mpobago bago imam hi Tomi Alata'ala. 

  Ntuku' ada-ra, mpenoa' -ra ba hema-ra to rapelihi mesua' hi rala Tomi Alata'ala mpotunu dupa'. Zakharia-mi to mpela pompenoa' -ra. 

  Jadi', bula ntodea mosampaya hi mali-na, Zakharia mesua' hi rala Tomi Alata'ala mpotunu dupa'. 

  Nto'u toe, mehupa' -mi hadua mala'eka Pue' hi mali ngka'ana meja' pontunua dupa'. 

  Kanahilo-na Zakharia mala'eka toei, konce pai' me'eka' lia-imi. 

  Na'uli' mala'eka toei: "Zakharia, neo' -ko me'eka', apa' Pue' Ala mpo'epe pomperapia' -nu. Elisabet tobine-nu mo'ana' mpai', hadua ana' tomane. Ana' tetui kana nuhanga' Yohanes. 

  Uma mpai' mowo kagoe' -nu mpokagoe' ana' -nu tetui. Wori' tauna mpokagoe' kaputu-na. 

  Hi'a jadi' tau bohe hi poncilo Pue'. Uma-i ma'ala nginu anggur ba napa-napa to melanguhi, pai' Inoha' Tomoroli' mpokuasai-i ngkai lomo' kaputu-na. 

  Wori' muli Israel natete' nculii' bona mepangala' -ra hi Alata'ala to rapue' ntu'a-ra owi. 

  Ana' -nu tetui mpai' jadi' suro to mako' meri'ulu ngkai Pue' hante kuasa pai' kabaraka' -na nabi Elia owi. Napopohintuwu' ana' -ana' hante tuama-ra. Pai' tauna to uma mpotuku' Pue' natete' nculii' hi ohea to monoa' bona monoto nono-ra. Hawe'ea toe nababehi bona mporodo nono ntodea, bona sadia-ramo mpotarima Pue'." 

  Na'uli' Zakharia mpo'uli' -ki mala'eka: "Hiaa', beiwa kaku'inca-na kamakono-na to nu'uli' tetu-e? Apa' tu'a-amadie, pai' tobine-ku tu'a wo'o-imi-hawo." 

  Natompoi' mala'eka toei: "Aku' toi Gabriel, pahawaa' Alata'ala to ngkai suruga. Alata'ala mposuro-a tumai mpoparata-koko kareba toe. 

  Napa to ku'uli' -koko toe we'i, bate madupa' ane rata-pi mpai' tempo-na. Aga iko-kona, apa' uma nuparasaya lolita-kue, wae-pi ngkai wae lau, uma-poko howa' mololita duu' -na madupa' mpu'u lolita-ku." 

  Bula-na Zakharia hi rala Tomi Alata'ala, kapea-pea-ramo ntodea hi mali-na. Ingu' -ra apa' mahae rahi-i. 

  Pehupa' -na hi mali-na, uma-ipi howa' mpololitai-ra. Muntu' mohuka' -i-damo pai' bate uma-i howa' mololita. Toe pai' ra'inca-mi ntodea karia-na to nahilo hi rala Tomi Alata'ala. 

  Hudu-mi pobago-na Zakharia hi Tomi Alata'ala, nculii' -imi hilou hi tomi-na. 

  Ko'ia mahae ngkai ree, motina'i mpu'u-imi Elisabet. Lima mula kahae-na Elisabet uma mehupa' -hupa' ngkai rala tomi-na, pai' na'uli': 

  "Tohe'i-e ahi' -na Pue' hi aku'. Natulungi-a mo'anai', bona uma-apa me'ea' sabana kalalo-ku." 

  ¶ Kahono' -na ono mula Elisabet motina'i, Alata'ala mpohubui mala'eka Gabriel hilou hi tana' Galilea, hi ngata to rahanga' Nazaret, 

  bona mpohirua' -ki hadua toronaa to rahanga' Maria. Toronaa toei, bula-na mokamae' hante hadua kabilasa to rahanga' Yusuf, muli Magau' Daud owi. 

  Karata-na mala'eka hi ria, na'uli' -ki Maria: "Wori' tabe! Pue' mpogane' -ko pai' mpodohei-ko!" 

  Konce-i Maria mpo'epe lolita mala'eka toei, pai' -i mopekiri ba napa batua petabe-na toe. 

  Na'uli' wo'o-mi mala'eka: "Neo' -ko me'eka' Maria, apa' iko-mi to napokono Alata'ala bona mporata pegane' -na. 

  Motina'i-ko mpai', pai' -ko mo'ana', hadua ana' tomane. Ana' tetu mpai' kana nuhanga' Yesus. 

  Hi'a mpai' jadi' tauna to bohe tuwu' -na, pai' -i rahanga' Ana' Alata'ala to hi suruga. Pai' Pue' Alata'ala mpo'ongko' -i jadi' Magau', hewa Magau' Daud, ntu'a-na owi. 

  Hi'a jadi' magau' to mpoparentai hawe'ea muli Yakub duu' kahae-hae-na, pai' poparenta-na uma ria kahudua-na." 

  Na'uli' Maria mpo'uli' -ki mala'eka: "Beiwa-hawo kajadi' -na to nu'uli' tetu-e? Apa' ko'ia-a-kuwo motomanei." 

  Na'uli' mala'eka: "Inoha' Tomoroli' mpai' mana'u hi iko, pai' kabaraka' Alata'ala to hi suruga ngkamoui-ko. Toe pai' ana' to putu toe mpai' rahanga' moroli', Ana' Alata'ala. 

  Epe-dile: ompi' -nu Elisabet-ele, to tu'a lia-imi pai' to ra'uli' doo lalo-ie, motina'i ono mula-imi-hawo! Mo'ana' -i mpai', hadua ana' tomane. 

  Apa' napa-napa to na'uli' Alata'ala bate kana madupa'." 

  Na'uli' Maria: "Aku' toi batua-na Pue', mengkoru-ama hi hawa' -na, bona napadupa' patuju-na hi aku', hewa to nu'uli' -ka tetu." Oti toe, malai-imi mala'eka mpalahii Maria. 

  ¶ Ngkai ree, pe'ongko' -nami Maria hilou hi ngata to hi bulu' -na hi tana' Yudea. 

  Karata-na hi tomi Zakharia, pesua' -nami pai' -i mpotabe Elisabet. 

  Kana'epe-na Elisabet petabe-na Maria toe, pongkale-nami ana' to hi rala puanaka-na, pai' Elisabet, nakuasai Inoha' Tomoroli' -imi. 

  Mekio' -imi napesukui mpo'uli' -ki Maria: "Iko-mi-kona to nagane' Alata'ala meliu ngkai hawe'ea tobine ntani' -na, pai' Alata'ala mpogane' ana' to nupotina'i-ki tetu. 

  Ha hema-a-kuwo aku' toi-e, pai' iko tina-na Pue' -ku tumai mpokinomo-a! 

  Wae kaku'epe-na petabe-nu, ana' to hi rala-ku ncaliu mongkale nakeni kagoe' -na. 

  Morasi' mpu'u-ko, apa' nupangala' lolita Pue', apa' napa to na'uli' -koko bate madupa'." 

  Na'uli' Maria: Mpo'une' -a Pue' hante nono-ku mpu'u. 

  Goe' lia-a, apa' Alata'ala Magau' Tompohore-a ngkai huku' jeko' -ku. 

  Nakiwoi-awa-kuwo, aku' batua-na to mpe'ahii'. Ngkai wae lau, hawe'ea tauna mpo'uli' ka'aku' -na tobine to nagane' Alata'ala. 

  Apa' Alata'ala to mokuasa mpopehuwu kabaraka' -na hi aku'. Moroli' hanga' -na! 

  Ma'ahi' -i hi hawe'ea tauna to mengkoru hi Hi'a, duu' rata hi muli-muli-ra. 

  Nababehi anu mobaraka' hante kuasa-na: Tauna to molangko nono-ra nagaro' bona uma oko patuju-ra. 

  Magau' -magau' napohu ngkai pangka' -ra. Tauna to dingki' tuwu' -ra napomolangko. 

  Tauna to mo'oro' nabohui hante pongkoni' to lompe'. Tauna topo'ua' napopalai hante ngkeni woto mara. 

  Napopohiloi ahi' -na hi kita' muli Israel, batua-na owi. Natulungi-ta hewa to najanci hi ntu'a-ta owi. Uma nalipo' pojanci-na hi Abraham pai' hi muli-na duu' kahae-hae-na." 

  Ba tolu mula kahae-na Maria mo'oha' hante Elisabet, pai' lako' nculii' -idi hilou hi tomi-na. 

  ¶ Rata-mi tempo-na Elisabet mo'ana'. Mo'ana' mpu'u-imi, hadua ana' tomane. 

  Tongki-ra pai' ompi' -ra mpo'epe beiwa Pue' mpopohiloi ahi' -na hi Elisabet hi kanawai' -na ana' -na toe, toe pai' goe' wo'o-ramo-rawo hangkaa-ngkania hante Elisabet. 

  Ntuku' ada-ra to Yahudi, kahono' -na walu eo umuru-na ana' toei, tumai-ramo tongki pai' ompi' -ra mpotini' -i ntuku' ada-ra to Yahudi. Patuju-ra doko' mpohanga' -i Zakharia, mpongkona' -ki tuama-na moto, ntuku' ada-ra. 

  Tapi' na'uli' Elisabet mpo'uli' -raka: "Neo' waetu! Bate Yohanes hanga' -na." 

  Hampetompoi' -ra: "Hiaa' bo uma-hanale ria ompi' -ni to rahanga' tetu-e!" 

  Ngkai ree, rahuka' -ki Zakharia rapompekunei' ba napa to doko' nahanga' -ki ana' -na. 

  Zakharia mperapi' hameha' po'ukia' pai' na'uki': "Hanga' -na Yohanes." Konce omea-ramo. 

  Nto'u toe, muu-mule' howa' nculii' -imi mololita, pai' -i mpo'une' -une' Alata'ala. 

  Me'eka' omea-ramo tongki-ra, pai' kareba toe molele hobo' hi bulu' -na Yudea. 

  Hawe'ea to mpo'epe kareba toe mokanono, ra'uli': "Ha jadi' napa-i mpai' ana' toei?" Apa' Pue' mpodohei-i hante baraka' -na. 

  ¶ Ane Zakharia, tuama ana' toei, Inoha' Tomoroli' mpokuasai-i, pai' -i mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala, na'uli': 

  "Mai-tamo kita' muli Israel, mpo'une' Alata'ala Pue' -ta! Apa' hompo-imi tumai mpotulungi-ta kita' ntodea-na. Tumai-i mpobahaka-ta ngkai bali' -ta. 

  Nawai' -tamo Tadulako to mobaraka' to mpokeni kalompea'. Tadulako toei, muli Magau' Daud, batua-na owi. 

  Ngkai owi hante wiwi nabi-nabi to moroli', Pue' mpojanci 

  kanabahaka-ta mpai' ngkai bali' -ta, nabahaka-ta ngkai kuasa-ra to mpokahuku' -ta. 

  Napopohiloi mpu'u-mi ahi' -na hi ntu'a-ta owi. Napadupa' -mi janci-na to moroli'. 

  Mojanci pai' mosumpa-i hi Abraham ntu'a-ta owi, kanabahaka-ta ngkai kuasa bali' -ta, bona ma'ala-ta mpopue' -i hante uma ria ka'ekaa' -ta, 

  bona kita' jadi' topetuku' -na to moroli' pai' to monoa' hi poncilo-na, duu' kahae-hae-na. 

  Hiaa' ane iko, ana' -ku, iko mpai' rahanga' nabi Pue' Ala to hi suruga. Apa' iko-mi mpai' to mako' meri'ulu ngkai Pue', bona mporodo ohea-na. 

  Iko mpai' to mpopo'incai ntodea-na ohea bona Alata'ala mpowai' -ra kalompea' pai' mpo'ampungi jeko' -ra.

  Tumai-i mpobajahi nono tauna to hi rala kabengia-na pai' to me'eka' mpoka'eka' kamatea. Natete' -ta hi ohea to mpotoa' kalompea' tuwu'." 

  Ana' Zakharia toei, kaboo-bohea kamonoo-notoa nono-na. Mo'oha' -i hi papada to wao', duu' -na rata tempo-na natepu'u-mi mpokeni Lolita Pue' hi muli Israel.
