In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene—

As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.
5 omnis vallis implebitur et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur et erunt prava in directa et aspera in vias planas
5
Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth.
6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei
6
And all people will see God’s salvation.’ ”
7 dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exiebant ut baptizarentur ab ipso genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira
7
John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 facite ergo fructus dignos paenitentiae et ne coeperitis dicere patrem habemus Abraham dico enim vobis quia potest Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahae
8
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
9 iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum exciditur et in ignem mittitur
9
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes quid ergo faciemus
10
“What should we do then?” the crowd asked.
11 respondens autem dicebat illis qui habet duas tunicas det non habenti et qui habet escas similiter faciat
11
John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”
12 venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur et dixerunt ad illum magister quid faciemus
12
Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
13 at ille dixit ad eos nihil amplius quam quod constitutum est vobis faciatis
13
“Don’t collect any more than you are required to,” he told them.
14 interrogabant autem eum et milites dicentes quid faciemus et nos et ait illis neminem concutiatis neque calumniam faciatis et contenti estote stipendiis vestris
14
Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely—be content with your pay.”
15 existimante autem populo et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Iohanne ne forte ipse esset Christus
15
The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah.
16 respondit Iohannes dicens omnibus ego quidem aqua baptizo vos venit autem fortior me cuius non sum dignus solvere corrigiam calciamentorum eius ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu Sancto et igni
16
John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 cuius ventilabrum in manu eius et purgabit aream suam et congregabit triticum in horreum suum paleas autem conburet igni inextinguibili
17
His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum
18
And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.
19 Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui et de omnibus malis quae fecit Herodes
19
But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the other evil things he had done,
20 adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Iohannem in carcere
20
Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
21 factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus et Iesu baptizato et orante apertum est caelum
21
When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened
22 et descendit Spiritus Sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum et vox de caelo facta est tu es Filius meus dilectus in te conplacuit mihi
22
and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
