马太福音 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1那时，有施洗的 约翰 出来，在 犹太 的旷野传道，说：
1In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
2「天国近了，你们应当悔改！」
2and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
3这人就是先知 以赛亚 所说的。他说：「在旷野有人声喊着说： 预备主的道， 修直他的路！」
3This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
4这 约翰 身穿骆驼毛的衣服，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫、野蜜。
4John wore a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
5那时， 耶路撒冷 和 犹太 全地，并 约旦河 一带地方的人，都出去到 约翰 那里，
5People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan.
6承认他们的罪，在 约旦河 里受他的洗。
6Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
7约翰 看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人也来受洗，就对他们说：「毒蛇的种类！谁指示你们逃避将来的愤怒呢？
7But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8你们要结出果子来，与悔改的心相称。
8Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance.
9不要自己心里说：『有 亚伯拉罕 为我们的祖宗。』我告诉你们， 神能从这些石头中给 亚伯拉罕 兴起子孙来。
9And do not presume 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.
10现在斧子已经放在树根上，凡不结好果子的树就砍下来，丢在火里。
10The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11我是用水给你们施洗，叫你们悔改。但那在我以后来的，能力比我更大，我就是给他提鞋也不配。他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。
11I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
12他手里拿着簸箕，要扬净他的场，把麦子收在仓里，把糠用不灭的火烧尽了。」
12His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
13当下，耶稣从 加利利 来到 约旦河 ，见了 约翰 ，要受他的洗。
13At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
14约翰 想要拦住他，说：「我当受你的洗，你反倒上我这里来吗？」
14But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”
15耶稣回答说：「你暂且许我，因为我们理当这样尽诸般的义。」于是 约翰 许了他。
15“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.
16耶稣受了洗，随即从水里上来。天忽然为他开了，他就看见 神的灵仿佛鸽子降下，落在他身上。
16As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.
17从天上有声音说：「这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。」
17And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
