And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
4 Abe ale si woŋlɔe le Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya ƒe nyagblɔɖigbalẽ me ene be, “Ame si le ɣli dom tso gbea dzi ƒe gbee nye esi, ‘Miɖe mɔ na Yehowa be wòazɔ edzi! Miwɔ eƒe mɔwo dzɔdzɔe.
at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght.
5 Balimewo katã akɔ kpo, eye woabɔbɔ to kple togbɛ ɖe sia ɖe ɖe anyi. Mixe ʋe siwo le baliwo me! Miwɔ mɔ gɔglɔ̃wo woadzɔ! Miwɔ mɔ tsakliwo zɔzrɔ̃e.
Every valley shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth:
6 Ekema amegbetɔƒomea katã akpɔ ɖeɖe si Mawu ɖo ɖa la.’”
and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
7 Yohanes gblɔ mawunya na ame siwo vaa egbɔ be wòade mawutsi ta na yewo be, “Ame kae xlɔ̃ nu mi dawo ƒe dzidzimeviwo be miasi le Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe si gbɔna la nu?
Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come?
8 Gbã la, miyi ne miaɖee fia be yewotrɔ dzi me to agbe nyui nɔnɔ me. Migabu be nya vɔ̃ aɖeke madzɔ ɖe mia dzi, elabena mienye Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwo ta o. Esia ɖeɖe menye naneke o, elabena Mawu ate ŋu ana kpe siawo natrɔ zu viwo na Abraham.
Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.
9 Woɖo ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ƒe fiá atiwo ƒe kewo dzi. Ɛ̃, le nyateƒe me la, ati sia ati si metse ku nyui o la, woalãe ƒu anyi, eye woatsɔe ade dzo me.”
Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre.
10 Ameha la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nu ka nèdi tso mía si be míawɔ?”
And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
11 Yohanes ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ne awu eve le ame aɖe si la, nena ame si ɖeke mele esi o, eye ame si si nuɖuɖu le la newɔ nenema ke.”
He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.
12 Dugadzɔla siwo nye amebala vɔ̃ɖiwo la gɔ̃ hã va do ɖe egbɔ be wòade mawutsi ta na yewo. Wobiae be, “Nufiala nu ka míawɔ?”
Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
13 Yohanes ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mito nyateƒe le miaƒe dugadzɔdzɔ me. Mikpɔ nyuie be miagadzɔ ga le ame aɖeke si wu ale si woɖo na mi la o.”
And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
14 Asrafo aɖewo siwo le afi ma la biae be, “Míawo ya ɖe aleke míawɔ?” Yohanes ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migaxɔ ga le amewo si akpasesẽtɔe o. Ne mienya be ame aɖe mewɔ nane o la, migahe nya ɖe eŋu alakpatɔe o. Fetu si miexɔna la hã nedze mia ŋu!”
The soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre wages.
15 Ame sia ame kloe nɔ mɔ kpɔm be ava kpuie le ŋkeke mawo me, ale be wotsi dzi vevie be yewoanya nenye be Yohanes ye nye Kristo loo alo menye eyae o?
As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:

Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre:
17 Ame si si lugbɔnu le, be wòatsɔ akplɔ eƒe lugbɔƒe ƒiaƒiaƒia, alɔ lu la ɖe eƒe ava me. Ke atɔ dzo tsroa kple dzo matsimatsi.”
which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched.
18 Yohanes xlɔ̃ nu amewo vevie kple nya siawo esime wònɔ nyanyui la gblɔm na wo.
And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
19 Yohanes he nya ɖe Herod si nye dziɖula nɔ Galilea ŋu le dutoƒe, elabena exɔ nɔvia srɔ̃ Herodia ɖe. Hekpe ɖe nu vɔ̃ bubu geɖe siwo hã wòwɔ ŋu la,
Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls which Herod had done)
20 Herod lé Yohanes hã de gaxɔ me.
added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.

and the holy goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte.
