¹En deizioù-se, e teuas Yann-Vadezour o prezeg e lec'h distro Judea, hag o lavarout:

¹In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

²Ho pet keuz, rak rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo tost.

²“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”

³Anezhañ eo en deus komzet ar profed Izaia, o lavarout: Mouezh an hini a gri el lec'h distro a lavar: Kempennit hent an Aotrou, plaenit e wenodennoù.

³For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.” Isaiah 40:3

⁴Yann a zouge ur sae a vlev kañval hag ur gouriz lêr en-dro d'e groazell; e voued a oa kilheien-raden ha mel gouez.

⁴Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

⁵An dud eus Jeruzalem, eus an holl Judea hag eus an holl vro war-dro ar Jordan, a yae d'e gavout,

⁵Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.

⁶hag, oc'h anzav o fec'hedoù, e oant badezet gantañ er stêr Jordan.

⁶They were baptized or, immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁷Eñ eta, o welout kalz a farizianed hag a sadukeiz o tont d'e vadeziant, a lavaras dezho: Lignez a naered-gwiber, piv en deus desket deoc'h tec'hel diouzh ar gounnar da zont?

⁷But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, or, immersion he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁸Dougit eta frouezh dereat d'ar geuzidigezh,

⁸Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance!

⁹ha na lavarit ket ennoc'h hoc'h-unan: Ni hon eus evit tad Abraham; rak me a lavar deoc'h, e c'hell Doue ober genel eus ar vein-se bugale da Abraham.

⁹Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

¹⁰Ar vouc'hal a zo a-vremañ lakaet ouzh gwrizioù ar gwez. Pep gwezenn eta na ro ket frouezh mat a ya da vezañ troc'het ha taolet en tan.

¹⁰“Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

¹¹Me ho padez en dour, evit ar geuzidigezh; met unan all a zeu, galloudusoc'h egedon, ha n'on ket dellezek da zougen e votoù. Eñ ho padezo er Spered-Santel hag en tan.

¹¹I indeed baptize or, immerse you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. TR and NU add “and with fire”

¹²E grouer a zo en e zaouarn, naetaat a raio mat e leur, hag e tastumo ar gwinizh en e solier, met ar pell a zevo en tan na varv ket.

¹²His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”

¹³Neuze, Jezuz a zeuas eus Galilea d'ar Jordan, da gavout Yann, evit bezañ badezet gantañ.

¹³Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

¹⁴Met Yann ne felle ket dezhañ e ober, o lavarout: Me am eus ezhomm da vezañ badezet ganit, hag e teuez da'm c'havout?

¹⁴But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”

¹⁵Jezuz, en ur respont, a lavaras dezhañ: Na harz ket-se bremañ; rak evel-se eo e tere ouzhimp peurober pep reizhder. Neuze eñ a lezas d'ober.

¹⁵But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.

¹⁶Ha goude ma oa bet badezet Jezuz, e savas raktal eus an dour; ha setu, an neñvoù a oa digoret a-us dezhañ, hag e welas Spered Doue, e doare ur goulm, o tiskenn warnañ.

¹⁶Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

¹⁷Ha setu, ur vouezh eus an neñvoù a lavare: Hemañ eo va Mab karet-mat, ennañ em eus lakaet va holl levenez.

¹⁷Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
