18 For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." 19 So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe.
18 Gonne Johane o ne a reile Herote a re: "Ga o a letlelelwa go nna le mosadi wa ga morwa-rraago." 19 Mme Herodia a mo tlhoa, a batla go mmolaya, mme a palelwa; 20 gonne Herote o ne a boifa Johane, ka a itse gore ke monna yo o siameng, yo o boitshepo; a ba a mo sireletsa.
