約翰職事將竣、曰、爾曹意我為誰、我非基督、彼後我而來、其足之履、我亦不堪解、

约翰在工作快要完成的时候说，‘你们以为我是谁？我不是基督。在我之后来的那位，我连给祂解鞋带也不配。’

约翰快要跑完他的路程的时候，说：‘你们以为我是谁？我不是基督。他是在我以后来的，我就是给他解脚上的鞋带也不配。’

当约翰快要跑尽该跑的路程时，说：‘你们认为我是谁？我不是那一位。看哪，他要在我以后来，我就是为他解脚上的鞋带也不配。’

約翰將要完盡他的跑程時、曾經說了：「你們所猜想我的、我並不是。不，有一位在我以後來的、他腳上的鞋我並不配脫。」

迨畢其職、曰、爾意我為誰、我非其人也、有後我來者、即解其履、我亦弗堪、

約翰將卒事、曰、爾以我為誰、我非基督、有後我來者、其履我不堪解、

迨其使命將畢、如望恆曰：「爾等以吾為誰？實非基督；惟有後我來者、吾雖為之解履、猶愧未稱、」

As John was completing his work, he said:‘ Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for. But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’

John was coming to the end of his work.‘ Who do you suppose I am?’ he said.‘ I am not the one you are looking for. But there is someone coming after me. I am not good enough to untie his sandals.’

And as John was finishing his course, he said,‘ What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but behold, after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

As John was finishing his ministry he asked,‘ Do you think I am the Messiah? No, I am not! But he is coming soon— and I’m not even worthy to be his slave and untie the sandals on his feet.’

Now as John was completing his mission, he said,‘ Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But one is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet.’

And while John was completing his course, he kept saying,‘ What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

And as John was finishing his course, he said,‘ Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’

And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.

Then as John was completing his life’s work, he said,‘ Who do you think I am? I am not the One. But look! Someone is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on His feet.’

And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not[ he]. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of[ his] feet I am not worthy to loose.

But while John was completing his mission, he said repeatedly,‘ What do you think I am? I am not he. But look, one is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet!’

As John was fulfilling his course, he said,‘ What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

夫我以水施洗於爾、使爾悔改、但後我來者更勝於我、即提其履、我亦不堪、彼將以聖神及火、施洗於爾、

宣曰、有勝於我者、後我而來、即鞠躬而解其履帶、我亦不堪、

然我不以此為意、亦不以我生命為貴、惟思歡然前趨、以盡我程途、及我於主耶穌所受之職、以證天主恩寵之福音、

約翰答曰、我以水施洗、有立爾中者、爾所不識、彼後我來而先我在、即解其履帶、我亦不堪、

約翰承而不諱、明言曰、我非基督、又問曰、爾為誰、以利亞乎、曰、否、曰、抑為彼先知乎、曰、否、曰、然則爾果為誰、使我儕得復遣我者、爾自言為何人、答曰、我即聲呼於野云直主道者、如先知以賽亞所言、

民適望基督、心疑約翰、即基督否、約翰乃謂眾曰、我以水施洗於爾、有勝於我者來、即解其履帶、我亦不堪、彼將以聖神及火、施洗於爾、

耶穌曰、遵遣我者之旨而完其功、是乃我之糧也、

我所宣者非己、乃主基督耶穌也、我因耶穌為爾僕、

明日、約翰見耶穌就己、乃曰、觀天主之羔、負世之罪者、

我已作善戰、已盡我程、而守信主之道、

見耶穌行、乃曰、觀天主之羔、

作證既畢、自大淵而上之獸、將與之戰、勝而殺之、

此後耶穌知諸事已成、為使經所載得應、乃曰、我渴、在彼有器盛醯、有人以海絨蘸醯、束於牛膝草上、遞至其口、耶穌受醯、曰、成矣、遂俯首、其靈歸焉、或作以靈交於天主

保羅曰、約翰施悔改之洗禮、告民當信後己而來者、即基督耶穌、

約翰曰、非由天授、則人無所受、爾曹可為我作證、我曾言我非基督、乃奉遣為其前驅、娶新婦者即新郎、新郎之友、立而聽之、因聞新郎之聲、則喜、今我之喜滿矣、

我見而證其為天主之子、○

惟希律聞之曰、是我所斬之約翰由死復活矣、初希律遣人執約翰、繫之於獄、為其弟腓立妻希羅底之故、蓋希律曾娶之為妻、約翰諫曰、爾納弟妻、非宜也、故希羅底憾約翰、欲殺之而不得、蓋希律知約翰為人義且聖、故畏而護之、聞其言多所遵行、且喜聽其訓、適遇希律誕辰、希律設筵、宴諸大夫、千夫長、及迦利利尊者、希羅底之女入而舞、希律與同席者皆喜、王謂女曰、隨爾所欲以求、我必予爾、又誓曰、凡爾所求、即我國之半、我亦予爾、女退、問母曰、我當何求、母曰、求施洗約翰之首、女遂入見王、請曰、我欲爾以施洗約翰之首、盛於盤、即時賜我、王甚憂、奈已誓、又因同席者在、不欲推諉、遂遣卒、命取約翰首、卒往、斬之於獄、盛首於盤、攜而予女、女以予母、

由己而言者、乃求己之榮、惟求遣之者之榮、斯人為真、在其內無不義、

蓋大衛在世時、遵天主旨而盡其職、其後乃逝、逝原文作寢歸於列祖而朽壞、
