22 and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with {him} at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

23 And he swore to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me I will give thee, to half of my kingdom.

24 And she went out, and said to her mother, What should I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist.

25 And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

26 And the king, {while} made very sorry, on account of the oaths and those lying at table with {him} would not break his word with her.

27 And immediately the king, having sent one of the guard, ordered his head to be brought. And he went out and beheaded him in the prison,

28 and brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

22 Y entrando la hija de Herodías, y danzando, y agradando á Herodes y á los que estaban con él á la mesa, el rey dijo á la muchacha: Pídeme lo que quisieres, que yo te lo daré.

23 Y le juró: Todo lo que me pidieres te daré, hasta la mitad de mi reino.

24 Y saliendo ella, dijo á su madre: ¿Qué pediré? Y ella dijo: La cabeza de Juan Bautista.

25 Entonces ella entró prestamente al rey, y pidió, diciendo: Quiero que ahora mismo me des en un plato la cabeza de Juan Bautista.

26 Y el rey se entristeció mucho; mas á causa del juramento, y de los que estaban con él á la mesa, no quiso desecharla.

27 Y luego el rey, enviando uno de la guardia, mandó que fuese traída su cabeza;

28 El cual fué, y le degolló en la cárcel, y trajó su cabeza en un plato, y la dió á la muchacha, y la muchacha la dió á su madre.
