15 Saa bere no, na nnipa no rehwɛ Kristo no kwan. Ɛno nti, na wɔn nyinaa resusuw Yohane ho wɔ wɔn koma mu sɛ: “Gyama ɔno ne Kristo no anaa?”+ 16 Yohane buaa wɔn nyinaa sɛ: “Me de, mede nsu na ɛbɔ mo asu, nanso nea ɔwɔ tumi sen me reba; ne mpaboa hama mpo memfata sɛ mesan.+ Ɔno na ɔde honhom kronkron ne ogya bɛbɔ mo asu.+ 17 Ne sofi a ɔde huw hwiit so kura ne nsam, na ɔbɛpra n’awiporowbea hɔ fitafita, na waboaboa ne hwiit ano agu n’adekoradan mu, na ntɛtɛwa no de, ɔde ogya a ennum da bɛhyew.”

18 Yohane san de afotu bebree maa nkurɔfo no, na ɔkɔɔ so kaa asɛmpa kyerɛɛ wɔn. 19 Esiane ɔmantam sodifo Herode ne ne nua yere Herodia asɛm no, ne nneɛma bɔne pii a Herode yɛe nti, Yohane kaa n’anim. 20 Ɛno nti nea Herode san yɛ kaa ne bɔne ho ne sɛ, ɔkyeree Yohane too afiase.+
