Deenei di madagoaa nia helekai a God ne dau i John, go tama Zechariah, i lodo di anggowaa. 3 Gei John gaa hana laa lodo di guongo dela iai di monowai Jordan, ga agoago, “Huli gi daha mo godou haihai huaidu ge gi babdais, gei God ga dumaalia adu gi godou huaidu!” 4 Gadoo be di mee dela guu hihi i lodo di beebaa soukohp Isaiah,
“Tangada e wolowolo i lodo di anggowaa, boloo,

Ma koai ne helekai bolo goodou e mee di llele gi daha mo di hagawelewele o God dela ga dau mai?* 8 Heia nia mee ala e haga modongoohia bolo goodou guu huli gi daha mo godou huaidu, gei hudee daamada e helehelekai boloo, ‘Tadau damana la go Abraham.’ Au e hagi adu gi goodou bolo God le e mee hua di huli nia hadugalaa aanei gii hai nia dama ni Abraham!* 9 Talai gu togomaalia belee hele gi daha nia laagau ala hagalee huwa humalia, e dudu.”*
10 Nia daangada ga heeu gi John, “Gimaadou gaa hai di madau aha?”
11 Gei mee ga helekai, “Be koai hua e lua ono gahu, geia gi wanga ina di gahu e dahi gi tangada dela dono gahu ai. Koai ana meegai i golo, geia gi haga loholoho ngaadahi gi digau ala e hiigai.”
12 Hunu gau hagabudu dagitedi ne lloomoi belee babdais, ga heeu gi mee, “Tangada agoago, gimaadou e hai di madau aha?”*
13 Mee ga helekai, “Hudee hagabudu mee laa hongo godou mee ala e donu belee hagabudu.”
14 Hunu gau dauwa ga heeu gi mee, “Gei gimaadou e hai di madau aha?”
Mee ga helekai, “Hudee kaina nia bahihadu nia daangada, be e hagahuaidu tangada i di kai tilikai. Gii dohu hua gi godou hui donu.”
15 Nia daangada gu iai nadau hagadagadagagee e hidihidi be John la go di Mesaia. 16 Gei John ga helekai gi digaula huogodoo, “Au e babdais goodou gi nia wai, gei Tangada dela koia e aamua i di au, le e hanimoi i golo. Au e dee tau loo bolo e wwede nia uga o nia suudi o maa. Mee ga babdais goodou gi di Hagataalunga Dabu mo di ahi. 17 Mee dana daawolo hili mee, e wanga nia lii palaawaa gi lodo di hale benebene mee, gei nia gili gaa kili gi lodo di ahi e deemee di made.”
18 Nia ala kai e logo nogo agoago ai a John gi nia daangada i di Longo Humalia bolo gii huli nadau hangahaihai. 19 John nogo helekai hai baahi gi gobinaa Herod, idimaa Herod ne hai dono lodo gi Herodias, di lodo dono duaahina daane, guu hai labelaa ana mee huaidu e logo.* 20 Gei Herod gaa hai dana hai koia e huaidu, gaa hudu a John gi lodo di hale galabudi.
