Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the tetrarch of Abilene,
皇帝テベリオ在位の第十五年、ポンテオ・ピラトがユダヤの総督、ヘロデがガリラヤの領主、その兄弟ピリポがイツリヤ・テラコニテ地方の領主、ルサニヤがアビレネの領主、
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
アンナスとカヤパとが大祭司であったとき、神の言が荒野でザカリヤの子ヨハネに臨んだ。
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
彼はヨルダンのほとりの全地方に行って、罪のゆるしを得させる悔改めのバプテスマを宣べ伝えた。
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
それは、預言者イザヤの言葉の書に書いてあるとおりである。すなわち「荒野で呼ばわる者の声がする、『主の道を備えよ、その道筋をまっすぐにせよ』。
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth;
すべての谷は埋められ、すべての山と丘とは、平らにされ、曲ったところはまっすぐに、わるい道はならされ、
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
人はみな神の救を見るであろう」。
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
さて、ヨハネは、彼からバプテスマを受けようとして出てきた群衆にむかって言った、「まむしの子らよ、迫ってきている神の怒りから、のがれられると、おまえたちにだれが教えたのか。
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
だから、悔改めにふさわしい実を結べ。自分たちの父にはアブラハムがあるなどと、心の中で思ってもみるな。おまえたちに言っておく。神はこれらの石ころからでも、アブラハムの子を起すことができるのだ。
9 And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
斧がすでに木の根もとに置かれている。だから、良い実を結ばない木はことごとく切られて、火の中に投げ込まれるのだ」。
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
そこで群衆が彼に、「それでは、わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」と尋ねた。
11 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.
彼は答えて言った、「下着を二枚もっている者は、持たない者に分けてやりなさい。食物を持っている者も同様にしなさい」。
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
取税人もバプテスマを受けにきて、彼に言った、「先生、わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」。
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
彼らに言った、「きまっているもの以上に取り立ててはいけない」。
14 And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely, and be content with your wages.
兵卒たちもたずねて言った、「では、わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」。彼は言った、「人をおどかしたり、だまし取ったりしてはいけない。自分の給与で満足していなさい」。
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
民衆は救主を待ち望んでいたので、みな心の中でヨハネのことを、もしかしたらこの人がそれではなかろうかと考えていた。
16 John answered, saying to [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
そこでヨハネはみんなの者にむかって言った、「わたしは水でおまえたちにバプテスマを授けるが、わたしよりも力のあるかたが、おいでになる。わたしには、そのくつのひもを解く値うちもない。このかたは、聖霊と火とによっておまえたちにバプテスマをお授けになるであろう。
17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
また、箕を手に持って、打ち場の麦をふるい分け、麦は倉に納め、からは消えない火で焼き捨てるであろう」。
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
こうしてヨハネはほかにもなお、さまざまの勧めをして、民衆に教を説いた。
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
ところが領主ヘロデは、兄弟の妻ヘロデヤのことで、また自分がしたあらゆる悪事について、ヨハネから非難されていたので、
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
彼を獄に閉じ込めて、いろいろな悪事の上に、もう一つこの悪事を重ねた。
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
さて、民衆がみなバプテスマを受けたとき、イエスもバプテスマを受けて祈っておられると、天が開けて、
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
聖霊がはとのような姿をとってイエスの上に下り、そして天から声がした、「あなたはわたしの愛する子、わたしの心にかなう者である」。
