In this track we hear from Dakai Bolatagici, a direct descendant of one of the first iTaukei (Fijian) missionaries in Fiji spreading the gospel of Noah in 1887.
My name is Dakai Bolatagici hailing from the village of Rukua, Beqa Island, Fiji. I now live in Auckland, New Zealand.
I am taking this time to tell you ladies and gentlemen and children about the time of Noah; when God said for Noah to make a boat or ark so that him and his family may ride and be safe in. This is the story of Noah
Scripture written by Jemesa Bolatagici; Recited by Dakai Bolatagici – 10 March 2020
Noa vatakei na Waqa: Noah and the Ark
Sa qai kaya na Kalou kivei Noa me sa taya mada edua na waqa ko Noa, me vodo kina ko koya kei na veimataqali manumanu, me ya rua (2) e na veimataqali kecega.
Sa rairai ga me vaka edua na valekau ka ciri voli tu. Ia ka sa sega ni ta vaka na waqa dina. Sa tavaka boto raraba qo. Sa sega ni vakaivana se vakalaca se vakaivoce se vakai na waqa ni siwa. Sa raiai ga me vaka na vale kau sa ciri tu. Sa ciri wale ga. Sa kavetani ko na Kalou. Sa vakatubaleka Talega.
