4. Formal Translation This happened just as it stands written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord {kyrios, Messianic King}; make His paths straight.’” |
4. Dynamic Translation It was exactly what Isaiah’s book records: “A voice is calling out in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the Lord’s {kyrios, Sovereign Lord} road; straighten His paths.’” |
