16 And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove;

17 And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

16 A, no ka oti a Ihu te iriiri, tika tonu ake ia i te wai: na ko te rangi ka tuwhera ki a ia, a ka kite ia i te Wairua o te Atua e heke iho ana me he kukupa, a tau ana ki runga ki a ia:

17 Na ko tetahi reo no te rangi e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai.
