3 Ninniiwanyeya nsu na mutthu onikhuwela moothakoni, ohimyaka wiira:

“Mulokiherye ephiro para Yehova!+

Mumpakele Muluku ahu estaraata+ yoowookololowa enivira moothakoni.+

5 “Mwiiwe! Kinimooruuhelani profeta Eliya,+ nihinatthi ophiya nihiku nuulupale ni nowoopiha na Yehova.+ 6 Owo onimwiiriha mirima sa axipaapa okhala ntoko sa anamwane,+ ni mirima sa anamwane okhala ntoko sa axipaapa, wiira miyo kihirwe ohonona elapo ela, kipwetexaka”.

13 Tthiri, mpakha okathi Yohani aakhumelenle awe, Nlamulo nootheene ni Maprofeta ootheene, yaahihimya vahinatthi itthu saarowa wiiraneya muhoolo.+ 14 Hata mphavelaka okupali aahiiso muhiphavelaka okupali, Yohani ti ‘Eliya, yoowo aahimmwale ni maprofeta wiira aamoorwa’.+

12 Yesu aahiwaakhula oriki: “Tthiri, Eliya tonrowa opacerya orwa wiira olokiherye itthu sootheene.+ Nto, vanikhala sai olempwa wiira Mwaana a Mutthu ohaana ohaaxiwa vanceene+ ni onyoholiwa?+

17 Muluku onoomuruma mwaninyu ohoolo wawe, orina ene owerya onlikana ni wa Eliya,+ wiira orukunexe mirima sa axipaapa, sikhaleke ntoko sa anamwane+ ni orukunuxe mirima sa atthu oohiiwelela, wiira akhalane miruku sa anaxariya. Nave, onimwaalokiherya atthu wiira anvareleke muteko Yehova”.*+
