Mateus 3

1 In those days came Yochanan [Yah is gracious] the Baptizer preaching in the wilderness of Y’hudah [Praise].

2 He said: "Turn in repentance, for the Kingdom of heaven is near".

3 To fulfill what was written by Yesha’yahu [the salvation of our God] the prophet: "Listen! a voice of one calling: ‘Prepare ye in the wilderness the Way of Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], make plain in the desert a Highway for our Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God]’".

4 Behold Yochanan [Yah is gracious] was clothed with the hair of camels and black leather girded his loins (thigh and groin area; often used for the reproductive organs) and his food was locust and the honey of the forest.

5 Then they came out to him from Yerushalayim [abode of peace], from all Y’hudah [Praise], and from all the kingdom round about the Yarden [descender],

6 and at that time were confessing their sins and were baptized by Yochanan [Yah is gracious] in the Yarden [descender] because of his word.
