| [1]And in those days, John the Baptist came and preached in the wilderness of Judea, |
[1]NOW in those days came Juchanonⓘ the Baptizer preaching in the desert of Jehud, |
| [2]And said, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. |
[2]And saying, Repent! the kingdom of heaven hath drawn nigh. |
| [3]For this is he of whom it is spoken by the Prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of him that cryeth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his paths straight. |
[3]For this is he of whom it was spoken by Eshaia the prophet: The voice which crieth in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths plain. |
| [4]And this John had his garment of camels hair, and a girdle of a skin about his loins: his meat was also locusts and wild honey. |
[4]But this Juchanon, his clothing was of the hair of camels, with a loins-belt of leather upon his loins; and his food was locusts and wilderness-honey. |
| [5]Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan. |
[5]Then went forth to him Urishlem,ⓘ and all Jehud, and the whole country about Jurdan; |
| [6]And they were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. |
[6]And were baptized of him in Jurdan, the river, while they were confessing their sins. |
| [7]Now when he saw many of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the anger to come? |
[7]But when he saw many of the Pharishee and Zodukoyee coming to be baptized, he said to them, Generation of vipers, who hath showed you to escape from the wrath that cometh? |
| [8]Bring forth therefore fruits worthy amendment of life. |
[8]Work, therefore, fruits which are suitable to repentance. |
| [9]And think not to say with yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. |
[9]Neither ruminate and say within yourselves, that Abraham is father to us; for I say to you that Aloha is able from these stones to raise up sons unto Abraham. |
| [10]And now also is the axe put to the root of the trees: therefore every tree, which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire. |
[10]But, behold, the axe lieth at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, which maketh not good fruit is cut down and falleth into the fire. |
| [11]Indeed I baptize you with water to amendment of life, but he that cometh after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he will baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. |
[11]I, indeed, baptize you with water unto repentance; but He who cometh after me is mightier than I; he, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear,—he baptizeth you with the Spirit of Holiness and with fire. |
| [12]Which hath his fan in his hand, and will make clean his floor, and gather his wheat into his garner , but will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. |
[12]He [it is] whose fan is in his hand, and, purifying his floors, the wheat he gathereth into his garner, but the chaff he burneth with the fire that is not quenched. |
| [13]Then came Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. |
[13]Then came Jeshu from Galila unto Jurdan to Juchanan to be baptized of him. |
| [14]But John put him back, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? |
[14]But Juchanon prohibited him, and said, I need from thee to be baptized, and hast thou come unto me? |
| [15]Then Jesus answering, said to him, Let be now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. So he suffered him. |
[15]But Jeshu answered and said unto him, Permit [this] now; for thus it becometh us to accomplish all righteousness. And then he permitted him. |
| [16]And Jesus when he was baptized, came straight out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and John saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him. |
[16]But when Jeshu was baptized, he immediately ascended from the waters; and the heaven was opened unto him; and he saw the Spirit of Aloha, who descended, like the dove, and came upon him. |
| [17]And lo, a voice came from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. |
[17]And, lo, the voice from heaven, which said, This [is] my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted. |
