Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Cæsaris, procurante Pontio Pilato Iudæam, tetrarcha autem Galiææ Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Iturææ, et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinæ tetrarcha,
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
sub principibus sacerdotum Anna, et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zachariæ filium, in deserto.
3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis, prædicans baptismum pœnitentiæ in remissionem peccatorum,
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
sicut scriptum est in Libro sermonum Isaiæ prophetæ: Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini: rectas facite semitas eius:
5 Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
omnis vallis implebitur: et omnis mons, et collis humiliabitur: et erunt prava in directa: et aspera in vias planas:
6 All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Dicebat ergo ad turbas quæ exibant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: Genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?
8 Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
Facite ergo fructus dignos pœnitentiæ, et ne cœperitis dicere: Patrem habemus Abraham. Dico enim vobis quia potens est Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahæ.
9 Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
10 The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
Et interrogabant eum turbæ, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus?
11 He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat.
12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
Venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: Magister, quid faciemus?
13 He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis.
14 Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”
Interrogabant autem eum et milites, dicentes: Quid faciemus et nos? Et ait illis: Neminem concutiatis, neque calumniam faciatis: et contenti estote stipendiis vestris.
15 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus:
16 John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
respondit Ioannes, dicens omnibus: Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos: veniet autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corigiam calceamentorum eius: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu sancto, et igni:
17 His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
cuius ventilabrum in manu eius, et purgabit aream suam, et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igni inextinguibili.
18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
Multa quidem, et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo.
19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui, et de omnibus malis, quæ fecit Herodes,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
adiecit et hoc super omnia, et inclusit Ioannem in carcere.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized and was praying. The sky was opened,
Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato, et orante, apertum est cælum:
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
et descendit Spiritus sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum: et vox de cælo facta est: Tu es filius meus dilectus, in te complacui mihi.
