¹In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

¹V tistih dneh pa pride Janez Krstnik in v puščavi Judejski propoveduje,

²And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

²govoreč: Izpokorite se! kajti približalo se je nebeško kraljestvo.

³For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

³On je namreč tisti, o katerem je povedal prorok Izaija, ki pravi: „Glas vpijočega v puščavi: Pripravite pot Gospodu, poravnajte steze njegove!“

⁴And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

⁴On pa, Janez, je imel obleko svojo iz velblodje dlake in usnjen pas okoli ledja svojega, a živež njegov je bil: kobilice in divji med.

⁵Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

⁵Tedaj je prihajal k njemu ves Jeruzalem in vsa Judeja in vsa okolica jordanska,

⁶And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁶in on jih je krščeval v Jordanu, izpovedujoče grehe svoje.

⁷But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁷Ko pa vidi mnogo farizejev in saducejev, da gredo h krstu njegovemu, jim reče: Gadja zalega! kdo vas je poučil, da ubežite prihodnji jezi?

⁸Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

⁸Rodite torej sad, vreden izpokorjenja,

⁹And think not to say within 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.

⁹in ne domišljajte si, da bi govorili v sebi: Abrahama imamo za očeta; zakaj pravim vam, da more Bog iz tega kamenja obuditi Abrahamu sinove.

¹⁰And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

¹⁰Nastavljena je pa že tudi sekira drevju pri korenini: vsako drevo torej, ki ne rodi dobrega sadu, se poseka in vrže v ogenj.

¹¹I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

¹¹Jaz vas krščujem z vodo za izpokorjenje, a ta, ki gre za menoj, je močnejši od mene, kateremu nisem vreden obuvala nositi: on vas bo krstil s svetim Duhom in ognjem.

¹²Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

¹²On ima velnico v roki svoji in očedi gumno svoje in pospravi pšenico svojo v žitnico, a pleve sežge z neugasljivim ognjem.

¹³Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

¹³Tedaj pride Jezus iz Galileje k Janezu na Jordan, da ga on krsti.

¹⁴But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

¹⁴Janez pa mu je branil, rekoč: Meni je treba, da me ti krstiš, pa hodiš ti k meni?

¹⁵And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

¹⁵Jezus pa odgovori in mu reče: Pusti sedaj, kajti tako se nama spodobi, izpolniti vso pravičnost. Tedaj mu privoli.

¹⁶And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

¹⁶In Jezus, ko je bil krščen, stopi precej iz vode, in glej, nebesa se mu odpro in Duha Božjega vidi, da gre navzdol kakor golob in prihaja nanj.In glej, glas iz nebes govori: Ta je Sin moj ljubljeni, ki je po moji volji.

¹⁷And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹⁷In glej, glas iz nebes govori: Ta je Sin moj ljubljeni, ki je po moji volji.
