World English Bible
1εν δε ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ παραγινεται ιωαννησ ο βαπτιστησ κηρυσσων εν τη ερημω τησ ιουδαιασ
1In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
2και λεγων μετανοειτε ηγγικεν γαρ η βασιλεια των ουρανων
2“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
3ουτοσ γαρ εστιν ο ρηθεισ υπο ησαιου του προφητου λεγοντοσ φωνη βοωντοσ εν τη ερημω ετοιμασατε την οδον κυριου ευθειασ ποιειτε τασ τριβουσ αυτου
3For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”
4αυτοσ δε ο ιωαννησ ειχεν το ενδυμα αυτου απο τριχων καμηλου και ζωνην δερματινην περι την οσφυν αυτου η δε τροφη αυτου ην ακριδεσ και μελι αγριον
4Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
5τοτε εξεπορευετο προσ αυτον ιεροσολυμα και πασα η ιουδαια και πασα η περιχωροσ του ιορδανου
5Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
6και εβαπτιζοντο εν τω ιορδανη υπ αυτου εξομολογουμενοι τασ αμαρτιασ αυτων
6They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7ιδων δε πολλουσ των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων ερχομενουσ επι το βαπτισμα αυτου ειπεν αυτοισ γεννηματα εχιδνων τισ υπεδειξεν υμιν φυγειν απο τησ μελλουσησ οργησ
7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8ποιησατε ουν καρπον αξιον τησ μετανοιασ
8Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
9και μη δοξητε λεγειν εν εαυτοισ πατερα εχομεν τον αβρααμ λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι δυναται ο θεοσ εκ των λιθων τουτων εγειραι τεκνα τω αβρααμ
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.
10ηδη δε και η αξινη προσ την ριζαν των δενδρων κειται παν ουν δενδρον μη ποιουν καρπον καλον εκκοπτεται και εισ πυρ βαλλεται
10Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
11εγω μεν βαπτιζω υμασ εν υδατι εισ μετανοιαν ο δε οπισω μου ερχομενοσ ισχυροτεροσ μου εστιν ου ουκ ειμι ικανοσ τα υποδηματα βαστασαι αυτοσ υμασ βαπτισει εν πνευματι αγιω
11“I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
12ου το πτυον εν τη χειρι αυτου και διακαθαριει την αλωνα αυτου και συναξει τον σιτον αυτου εισ την αποθηκην το δε αχυρον κατακαυσει πυρι ασβεστω
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.”
13τοτε παραγινεται ο ιησουσ απο τησ γαλιλαιασ επι τον ιορδανην προσ τον ιωαννην του βαπτισθηναι υπ αυτου
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
14ο δε ιωαννησ διεκωλυεν αυτον λεγων εγω χρειαν εχω υπο σου βαπτισθηναι και συ ερχη προσ με
14But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”
15αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ αυτον αφεσ αρτι ουτωσ γαρ πρεπον εστιν ημιν πληρωσαι πασαν δικαιοσυνην τοτε αφιησιν αυτον
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.
16και βαπτισθεισ ο ιησουσ ανεβη ευθυσ απο του υδατοσ και ιδου ανεωχθησαν αυτω οι ουρανοι και ειδεν το πνευμα του θεου καταβαινον ωσει περιστεραν και ερχομενον επ αυτον
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.
17και ιδου φωνη εκ των ουρανων λεγουσα ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ μου ο αγαπητοσ εν ω ευδοκησα
17Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
