Do you know or can you guess the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

My guess is something spoken in either the Philippines, Indonesia or PERHAPS Africa. I think it must be a religious story as I thought I heard a form of Jesu mentioned. Also, the voice seems “trained” as if reading from a biblical script. Ideas?
Here’s a clue – this is an Austronesian language.
It’s a Formosan language : Kanakanavu.
To be honest, I have to say that I looked for the last word –marisusuna– in google, because I thought it would be important and … my computer related it to Kanakanavu.
As soon as I heard it, I thought it was Austronesian, but the vowels confused me, since they were not as ‘clear’ as in almost all Austronesian languages. But a certain ‘Sinitic air’ also addressed the Formosan ones.
The language is Kanakanavu a Southern Tsouic language spoken in the villages of Manga and Takanua in Namasia District (那瑪夏區) of Kaohsiung (高雄) in southern Taiwan.
