27 Thïs ïs tha yin tha Scrïptures taak aboot whaniver the' say: ‘Lïsten, A'll senn oot ma messenger aheid o ye; he wull mak readie tha wye afore ye.’
Thïs ïs tha yin tha Scrïptures taak aboot whan the' say: ‘Lïsten, A wull senn oot ma messenger aheid o ye; he wull mak readie tha wye afore ye.’
Jist as ït wus writ doon ïn Isaiah tha proaphit: “Lïsten, A'll senn oot ma messenger aheid o ye, an he wull mak readie yer wye fer ye;
An you, ma wee sinn, ye'll get caad ‘Tha proaphit o tha maist heich God’, fer ye'll mak tha wye readie fer tha cumin o tha Loard.
Sae whut dïd yis gae oot fer tae see? Wus ït a proaphit? Ay, A tell ye, an faur mair ner a proaphit.
A tell ye, thair wus niver a bettèr man boarn o a wumman ner Jhone, an yit tha yin that ïs laist ïn tha Kïngdom o God ïs a bettèr man ner hïm.”
Jhone answert wi tha wurds o Isaiah tha proaphit, “A'm tha voice o yin caain oot ïn tha wiles, ‘Mak tha róad readie fer tha Loard cumin.’ ”
