1 And in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the waste land of Judaea,

2 Saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin; for the kingdom of heaven is near.

3 For this is he of whom Isaiah the prophet said, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.

4 Now John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

5 Then Jerusalem and all Judaea went out to him, and all the people from near Jordan;

6 And they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying openly that they had done wrong.

1 那时， 施洗的约翰出来， 在犹太的旷野传道，

2 说： "天国近了， 你们应当悔改。"

3 以赛亚先知所说： "在旷野有呼喊者的声音： ‘预备主的道， 修直他的路！ ’"就是指着这约翰说的。

4 约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服， 腰束皮带， 吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。

5 耶路撒冷、犹太全地和约旦河一带的人都出来到他那里去，

6 承认自己的罪， 在约旦河里受了他的洗。
