Den God wen talk to him. ³ So he wen go all ova da place aroun da Jordan River, an tell da peopo, “You guys, you gotta come sorry an pau do all da bad kine stuff you stay doing now, an no do um no moa, an get baptize. Den God goin let all you guys go an hemo yoa shame fo all da bad kine stuff you doing.” ⁴ Dass jalike Isaiah wen tell. He one guy who wen talk fo God befo time. He wen write down dis inside da Bible:

⁷ Plenny peopo wen go ova dea so John can baptize um. He wen tell, “Eh! You guys no good, jalike one snake ohana! Who wen tell you guys fo run away from da bad tings dat goin happen? Cuz God no goin take all da bad kine stuff you do. He goin punish you guys fo dat! ⁸ Jalike one fruit tree give same kine fruit, you guys gotta do da kine good stuff dat show dat you pau do all da kine bad stuff you doing, an no do um no moa. Eh!

Cuz jalike awready get one guy wit one ax, all ready fo cut da tree roots. All da trees dat no make good fruit, he goin cut um down, an throw um inside da fire.”
