Na sɔ mmerɛ ne, mmenia biemɔ bɔ bɛnea nzramaa nu fili Eyia Afiteleɛ wale Yerusalem, 2 na bɛbisale kyɛ: "Yudafoɛ hene bɔ bawo ye ne, nisua yeɛ ɔwɔ ɔ? Yɛnwuni ye nzramaa, mmerɛ bɔ ne yɛwɔ Eyia Afiteleɛ ne, na yawa kyɛ yɛbaasõ ye." 3 Ɔhene Herode tele ɛhe ne, edwirɛ ne hale ye paa, na ɔhale Yerusalemfoɛ koso. 4 Yeti ɔfrɛle sɔfo mbanyi ne atwerɛfoɛ bɔ bɛwɔ maen nanu ne, na obisale bɛ nekaa bɔ ne bɛkɔwo Kristo ne.
