Chikoro Utarapa ne Yesu Kiristo Ashiri Aeuitaknup

Why this text

The 1897 New Testament is an extensive Ainu document in Batchelor's historical romanization. Its title page attributes the translation from Greek to the Rev. John Batchelor; this edition does not invent a stronger account of authorship than the sources support. Because the spelling reflects an early analysis of Ainu phonology, forms such as chikoro and moshiri require linguistic re-analysis as ci=kor and mosir. Every verse therefore keeps the source text beside a reviewable phonemic re-transcription, parallel translations, and the corresponding page image.
