| 38 | ar cenila Yésus vantala eques: “Ela Eruo Eulë!” | | and seeing Jesus walking he said: “Behold God’s Lamb!” |
| 39 | Ar i hildo atta hlasset se quéta, ar hilyanettë Yésus. | | And the two disciples heard him speak, and they [-tte, dual] followed Jesus. |
| 40 | Mal Yésus quernexë ar cennë tú hilyala, ar quentes túna: “Mana cestastë?” Tú quentet senna: “Ravi” – ya teä Peäntar – “massë máral?” | | But Jesus turned [Q: turned himself] and saw them [tú, dual] follow, and he said to them: “What do you [-ste, dual] seek?” They said to him: “Rabbi” – which means teacher – “where are you staying?” |

| 51 | Natanael hanquentë senna: “Ravi, elyë ná i Eruion, elyë ná i Aran Israélo!” | | Nathanael answered him: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel!” |
| 52 | Yésus hanquentë ar equë: “Pan anyáriën lyen i cennen lye nu i relyávalda savil? Cenuval nati túrë lá ta.” | | Jesus answered and said: “Since I told you that I saw you under the fig tree you believe? You will see some things greater than that.” |
| 53 | Ar eques téna: “Násië, násië quetin lenna: Cenuvaldë menel latyana ar Eruo valar ména ama ar undu i Atanyondossë.” | | And he said to them: “Truly, truly I say to you: You will see heaven opened and God’s angels go up and down on the Son of Man.” |
