¹Nang ikalabinglimang taon nga ng paghahari ni Tiberio Cesar, na noo'y gobernador sa Judea si Poncio Pilato, at tetrarka sa Galilea si Herodes, at ang kaniyang kapatid na si Felipe ay tetrarka sa lalawigan ng Iturea at Traconite, at si Lisanias ay tetrarka sa Abilinia,

¹Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

²Nang kasalukuyang mga pangulong saserdote si Anas at si Caifas, ay dumating ang salita ng Dios kay Juan, anak ni Zacarias, sa ilang.

²in the highpriesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

³At siya'y napasa buong lupain sa palibotlibot ng Jordan, na ipinangangaral ang bautismo ng pagsisisi sa ikapagpapatawad ng mga kasalanan;

³And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;

⁴Gaya ng nasusulat sa aklat ng salita ng propeta Isaias, Ang tinig ng isang sumisigaw sa ilang, Ihanda ninyo ang daan ng Panginoon, Tuwirin ninyo ang kaniyang mga landas.

⁴as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.

⁵Lahat ng libis ay tatambakan, At pababain ang bawa't bundok at burol; At ang liko ay matutuwid, At ang mga daang bakobako ay mangapapatag;

⁵Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;

⁶At makikita ng lahat ng laman ang pagliligtas ng Dios.

⁶And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

⁷Sinasabi nga niya sa mga karamihang nagsisilabas upang mangagpabautismo sa kaniya, Kayong lahi ng mga ulupong, sino ang sa inyo'y nagudyok upang tumakas sa galit na darating?

⁷He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁸Kayo nga'y mangagbunga ng karapatdapat sa pagsisisi, at huwag mangagpasimulang mangagsabi sa inyong sarili, Si Abraham ang siya naming ama; sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo, na makapagpapabangon ang Dios ng mga anak ni Abraham maging sa mga batong ito.

⁸Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin 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.

⁹At ngayon pa'y nakalagay na ang palakol sa ugat ng mga punong kahoy: ang bawa't punong kahoy nga na di nagbubunga ng mabuti ay pinuputol, at inihahagis sa apoy.

⁹And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

¹⁰At tinanong siya ng karamihan, na nangagsasabi, Ano ngang dapat namin gawin?

¹⁰And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?

¹¹At sinagot niya at sinabi sa kanila, Ang may dalawang tunika ay magbahagi sa wala; at ang may pagkain ay gayon din ang gawin.

¹¹And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.

¹²At dumating naman ang mga maniningil ng buwis upang mangagpabautismo, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Guro, anong dapat naming gawin?

¹²And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?

¹³At sinabi niya sa kanila, Huwag na kayong sumingil pa ng higit kay sa utos sa inyo.

¹³And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.

¹⁴At tinanong naman siya ng mga kawal, na nangagsasabi, At kami, anong dapat naming gawin? At sa kanila'y sinabi niya, Huwag kayong kumuhang may karahasan sa kanino man, ni mangagparatang; at mangagkasiya kayo sa bayad sa inyo.

¹⁴And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse [any one] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.

¹⁵At samantalang ang mga tao'y nagsisipaghintay at pinagbubulaybulay ng lahat sa kanilang puso ang tungkol kay Juan, kung siya kaya ang Cristo;

¹⁵And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;

¹⁶Ay sumagot si Juan na sinasabi sa kanilang lahat, Katotohanang binabautismuhan ko kayo ng tubig; datapuwa't dumarating ang lalong makapangyarihan kay sa akin; ako'y hindi karapatdapat magkalag ng panali ng kaniyang mga pangyapak: kayo'y babautismuhan niya sa Espiritu Santo at sa apoy:

¹⁶John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:

¹⁷Nasa kaniyang kamay ang kaniyang kalaykay, upang linising lubos ang kaniyang giikan, at tipunin ang trigo sa kaniyang bangan; datapuwa't susunugin niya ang dayami sa apoy na hindi mapapatay.

¹⁷whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

¹⁸Sa mga iba pang maraming pangaral ay ipinangangaral nga niya sa bayan ang mabuting balita;

¹⁸With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;

¹⁹Datapuwa't si Herodes na tetrarka, palibhasa'y pinagwikaan niya dahil kay Herodias, na asawa ng kaniyang kapatid, at dahil sa lahat ng masasamang bagay na ginawa ni Herodes,

¹⁹but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

²⁰Ay naparagdag naman ito sa lahat, na kinulong niya si Juan sa bilangguan.

²⁰added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

²¹Nangyari nga, nang mabautismuhan ang buong bayan, na si Jesus ay binautismuhan naman, at nang nananalangin, ay nabuksan ang langit,

²¹Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

²²At bumaba sa kaniya ang Espiritu Santo na may anyong katawan, tulad sa isang kalapati, at nanggaling ang isang tinig sa langit, Ikaw ang sinisinta kong Anak; sa iyo ako lubos na nalulugod.

²²and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
