1 בִּשְׁנַת חֲמֵשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה לְמַלְכוּת הַקֵּיסַר טִיבַרְיוֹס בִּהְיוֹת פּוֹנְטִיּוֹס פִּילָטוֹס נְצִיב בִּיהוּדָה וְהוֹרְדוֹס שַׂר־רֹבַע עַל־הַגָּלִיל וְאָחִיו פִילִפּוֹס שַׂר־רֹבַע עַל־מְדִינוֹת יְטוּר וְטַרְכוֹנָה וְלוּסָנִיָּס שַׂר־רֹבַע עַל־אֲבִילִין	1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
2 בִּימֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים חָנָן וְקַיָּפָא הָיָה דְּבַר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־יוֹחָנָן בֶּן־זְכַרְיָה בַּמִּדְבָּר	2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־כָּל־כִּכַּר הַיַּרְדֵּן וַיִּקְרָא טְבִילַת הַתְּשׁוּבָה לִסְלִיחַת הַחֲטָאִים	3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
4 כַּכָּתוּב בְּסֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא קוֹל קוֹרֵא בַּמִּדְבָּר פַּנּוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָֹה יַשְּׁרוּ מְסִלּוֹתָיו	4 As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
5 כָּל־גֶּיא יִנָּשֵׂא וְכָל־הַר וְגִבְעָה יִשְׁפָּלוּ וְהָיָה הֶעָקֹב לְמִישׁוֹר וְהָרְכָסִים לְבִקְעָה	5 Every valley shall be filled; and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight; and the rough ways plain;
6 וְרָאוּ כָל־בָּשָׂר אֵת יְשׁוּעַת אֱלֹהִים	6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הֲמוֹן הָעָם הַיֹּצְאִים לְהִטָּבֵל עַל־יָדוֹ אַתֶּם יַלְדֵי הַצִּפְעוֹנִים מִי הוֹרָה אֶתְכֶם לְהִמָּלֵט מִפְּנֵי הַקֶּצֶף הַבָּא	7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 לָכֵן עֲשֹוּ פְרִי הָרָאוּי לִתְּשׁוּבָה וְאַל־תְּדַמּוּ בְנַפְשְׁכֶם לֵאמֹר אַבְרָהָם הוּא אָבִינוּ כִּי אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי מִן־הָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה יָכֹל הָאֱלֹהִים לְהָקִים בָּנִים לְאַבְרָהָם	8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 וּכְבָר הוּשַׂם הַגַּרְזֶן עַל־שֹׁרֶשׁ הָעֵצִים וְהִנֵּה כָל־עֵץ אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ עֹשֶׂה פְּרִי טוֹב יִגָּדַע וְהֻשְׁלַךְ בָּאֵשׁ	9 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
10 וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הֲמוֹן הָעָם לֵאמֹר מָה אֵפוֹא נַעֲשֶׂה	10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מִי אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ כֻּתֳּנוֹת שְׁתַּיִם הוּא יַחֲלֹק לַאֲשֶׁר אֵין־לוֹ וּמִי אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ מָזוֹן כָּכָה יַעֲשֶׂה גַּם־הוּא	11 And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
12 וַיָּבֹאוּ גַם־מוֹכְסִים לְהִטָּבֵל וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו רַבִּי מַה־נַּעֲשֶׂה	12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אַל־תִּגְבּוּ יוֹתֵר מֵחָקְכֶם	13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
14 וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ גַּם־אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא לֵאמֹר וַאֲנַחְנוּ מַה־נַּעֲשֶׂה וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אִישׁ אַל־תַּעַשְׁקוּ וְאַל־תַּלְשִׁינוּ אִישׁ וִיהִי־דַי לָכֶם בִּשְׂכַרְכֶם	14 And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
15 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר־חִכָּה הָעָם וְכֻלָּם חשְׁבִים בְּלִבָּם לֵאמֹר אוּלַי יוֹחָנָן הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
16 וַיַּעַן יוֹחָנָן וַיֹּאמֶר לְכֻלָּם הֵן־אֲנִי טוֹבֵל אֶתְכֶם בַּמָּיִם אֲבָל בּוֹא יָבוֹא הֶחָזָק מִמֶּנִּי אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנִּי רָאוּי לְהַתִּיר אֶת־שְׂרוֹךְ נְעָלָיו הוּא יִטְבֹּל אֶתְכֶם בְּרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וּבָאֵשׁ	16 John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
17 אֲשֶׁר הַמִּזְרֶה בְיָדוֹ לְהָבֵר אֶת־גָּרְנוֹ וְיֶאֱסֹף אֶת־דְּגָנוֹ אֶל־אוֹצָרוֹ וְאֶת־הַמֹּץ יִשְׂרְפֶנּוּ בָּאֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תִכְבֶּה	17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 וְכֵן עוֹד דְּבָרִים אֲחֵרִים הַרְבֵּה בִּשֵּׂר וְגַם־הִזְהִיר אֶת־הָעָם	18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 וְהוֹרְדוֹס שַׂר־רֹבַע הַמְּדִינָה אֲשֶׁר הוּכַח עַל־יָדוֹ עַל־אֹדוֹת הוֹרוֹדְיָה אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו פִילִפּוֹס וְעַל־אֹדוֹת כָּל־הָרָע אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הוֹרְדוֹס	19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
20 הוֹסִיף עַל־כָּל־אֵלֶּה גַּם אֶת־זֹאת וַיַּסְגֵּר אֶת־יוֹחָנָן בְּמִשְׁמָר	20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 וַיְהִי בְּהִטָּבֵל כָּל־הָעָם וְגַם־יֵשׁוּעַ נִטְבָּל וּמִתְפַּלֵּל וַיִּפָּתְחוּ הַשָּׁמָיִם	21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
22 וַיֵּרֶד עָלָיו רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ בִּדְמוּת גּוּף כְּיוֹנָה וַיְהִי־קוֹל מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם וַיֹּאמַר אַתָּה בְּנִי יְדִידִי בְּךָ רָצְתָה נַפְשִׁי	22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
23 וְהוּא יֵשׁוּעַ בְּהַחִלּוֹ הָיָה כְּבֶן־שְׁלשִׁים שָׁנָה וַיַּחְשְׁבֻהוּ לְבֶן־יוֹסֵף בֶּן־עֵלִי	23 And Jesus himself was beginning about the age of thirty years; being (as it was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was of Heli, who was of Mathat,
