In those dayes Ihon the Baptyst came and preached in the wildernes of Iury
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
saynge; Repet the kyngdome of heue is at honde.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Eshayah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one who calls out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.'"
This is he of whom it is spoken by the Prophet Esay which sayeth: The voyce of a cryer in wyldernes prepare the Lordes waye and make hys pathes strayght.
4 Now Yukhanan himself wore clothing made of camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
This Iho had hys garmet of camels heer and a gerdell of a skynne aboute his loynes. Hys meate was locustes and wylde hony.
5 Then people from Urishlim, all of Yehuda, and all the region around the Yurdinan went out to him,
The went oute to hym Ierusalem and all Iury and all ye regio roude aboute Iorda
6 and they were baptized by him in the Yurdinan river, confessing their sins.
and were baptised of him in Iorda cofessynge their synnes.
7 But 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?
When he sawe many of ye Pharises and of ye Saduces come to hys baptim he sayde vnto the: O generacio of vipers who hath taught you to fle fro the vengeauce to come?
8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
Brynge forth therfore the frutes belongynge to repentauce.
9 and do not think to yourselves, 'We have Avraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Avraham from these stones.
And se that ye ons thynke not to saye in your selues we haue Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you that God is able of these stones to rayse vp chyldern vnto Abraha.
10 "Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
Euenowe is ye axe put vnto ye rote of ye trees: soo that every tree which bringeth not forthe goode frute is hewe doune and cast into ye fyre.
11 I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but the one who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Rukha d'Qudsha and with fire.
I baptise you in water in toke of repentauce: but he ye cometh after me is myghtier then I whose shues I am not worthy to beare. He shall baptise you with ye holy gost and with fyre:
12 His 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."
which hath also his fan in his hod and will pourge his floure and gadre ye wheet into his garner and will burne ye chaffe with vnquecheable fyre
13 Then Yeshua came from Galila to the Yurdinan to Yukhanan, to be baptized by him.
Then cam Iesus from Galile to Iordan vnto Ihon to be baptised of hym.
14 But Yukhanan would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
But Ihon forbade hym saynge: I ought to be baptysed of the: and comest thou to me?
15 But Yeshua, answering, said to him, "Allow it to happen now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.
Iesus answered and sayd to hym: Let it be so now. For thus it becommeth vs to fulfyll all rightwesnes. Then he suffred hym.
16 And Yeshua, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water; and look, the heavens were opened and he saw the Rukha of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
And Iesus assone as he was baptised came strayght out of ye water. And lo heue was ope over hym: and Ihon sawe the spirite of God descende lyke a doue and lyght vpon hym.
17 And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
And lo there came a voyce from heven sayng: Thys ys that my beloved sonne in whom is my delyte.
