4 sicut scriptum est in libro sermonum Esaiae prophetae vox clamantis in deserto parate viam Domini rectas facite semitas eius
As 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.
5 omnis vallis implebitur et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur et erunt prava in directa et aspera in vias planas
Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei
All flesh 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
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptised by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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
Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say amongst yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9 iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum exciditur et in ignem mittitur
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes quid ergo faciemus
The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
11 respondens autem dicebat illis qui habet duas tunicas det non habenti et qui habet escas similiter faciat
He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
12 venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur et dixerunt ad illum magister quid faciemus

13 at ille dixit ad eos nihil amplius quam quod constitutum est vobis faciatis
He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
14 interrogabant autem eum et milites dicentes quid faciemus et nos et ait illis neminem concutiatis neque calumniam faciatis et contenti estote stipendiis vestris
Soldiers 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.”
15 existimante autem populo et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Iohanne ne forte ipse esset Christus
As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
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
John answered them all, “I indeed baptise you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptise you in 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
His winnowing 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.”
18 multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui et de omnibus malis quae fecit Herodes
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Iohannem in carcere
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus et Iesu baptizato et orante apertum est caelum
Now when all the people were baptised, Jesus also had been baptised and was praying. The sky 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
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
