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

¹Petnaeste godine vladanja cara Tiberija, dok je upravitelj Judeje bio Poncije Pilat, tetrarh Galileje Herod, a njegov brat Filip tetrarh Itureje i zemlje trahonitidske, i Lizanije tetrarh Abilene,

²in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

²za velikog svećenika Ane i Kajfe, dođe riječ Božja Ivanu, sinu Zaharijinu, u pustinji.

³He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

³On obiđe svu okolicu jordansku propovijedajući obraćeničko krštenje na otpuštenje grijeha

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

⁴kao što je pisano u Knjizi besjeda Izaije proroka: Glas viče u pustinji: Pripravite put Gospodinu, poravnite mu staze!

⁵Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.

⁵Svaka dolina neka se ispuni, svaka gora i brežuljak neka se slegne! Što je krivudavo, neka se izravna, a hrapavi putovi neka se izglade!

⁶All flesh will see God’s salvation.’” Isaiah 40:3-5

⁶I svako će tijelo vidjeti spasenje Božje.

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

⁷Govoraše dakle mnoštvu koje je dolazilo da se krsti: "Leglo gujinje! Tko vas samo upozori da bježite od skore srdžbe?

⁸Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!

⁸Donosite dakle plodove dostojne obraćenja. I nemojte početi u sebi govoriti: 'Imamo oca Abrahama!' Jer, kažem vam: Bog iz ovog kamenja može podići djecu Abrahamovu.

⁹Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.”

⁹Već je sjekira položena na korijen stablima: svako dakle stablo koje ne donosi dobra roda siječe se i u oganj baca."

¹⁰The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”

¹⁰Pitalo ga mnoštvo: "Što nam je dakle činiti?"

¹¹He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”

¹¹On im odgovaraše: "Tko ima dvije haljine, neka podijeli s onim koji nema. U koga ima hrane, neka učini isto tako."

¹²Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”

¹²Dođoše krstiti se i carinici pa ga pitahu: "Učitelju, što nam je činiti?"

¹³He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”

¹³Reče im: "Ne utjerujte više nego što vam je određeno."

¹⁴Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”

¹⁴Pitahu ga i vojnici: "A nama, što je nama činiti?" I reče im: "Nikome ne činite nasilja, nikoga krivo ne prijavljujte i budite zadovoljni svojom plaćom."

¹⁵As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,

¹⁵Narod bijaše u iščekivanju i svi se u srcu pitahu o Ivanu nije li on možda Krist.

¹⁶John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire,

¹⁶Zato im Ivan svima reče: "Ja vas, istina, vodom krstim. Ali dolazi jači od mene. Ja nisam dostojan odriješiti mu remenje na obući. On će vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem.

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

¹⁷U ruci mu vijača da pročisti gumno svoje i sabere žito u žitnicu svoju, a pljevu će spaliti ognjem neugasivim."

¹⁸Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,

¹⁸I mnogim je drugim pobudama Ivan narodu navješćivao evanđelje.

¹⁹but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s TR reads “brother Philip’s” instead of “brother’s” wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

¹⁹A Heroda je tetrarha Ivan prekorio zbog Herodijade, žene njegova brata i zbog svih njegovih zlodjela.

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

²⁰Svemu tome nadoda Herod još i ovo: zatvori Ivana u tamnicu.

²¹Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

²¹Kad se krstio sav narod, krstio se i Isus. I dok se molio, rastvori se nebo,

²²and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”

²²siđe na nj Duh Sveti u tjelesnom obličju, poput goluba, a glas se s neba zaori: "Ti si Sin moj, Ljubljeni! U tebi mi sva milina!"

²³Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,
