Luka 3
1 Tani në vitin e pesëmbëdhjetë të mbretërimit të Tiberit Cezar, kur Ponc Pilati ishte qeveritari i Judesë, Herodi tetrarku i Galilesë, i vëllai, Filipi, tetrarku i Itureas dhe i krahinës së Trakonitidës dhe Lizania tetrarku i Abilenës,
In the fiftenthe yeare of the raygne of Tiberius the Emperoure Pontius Pylate beinge leftenaut of Iurie and Herode beinge Tetrach of Galile and his brother Philip Tetrach in Iturea and in the region of Traconites and Lysanias the Tetrach of Abyline
2 nën kryepriftërinjtë Ana dhe Kajfa, fjala e Perëndisë iu drejtua Gjonit, birit të Zakarias, në shkretëtirë.
when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
3 Atëherë ai e përshkoi gjithë krahinën përreth Jordanit, duke predikuar një pagëzim pendimi për faljen e mëkateve,
And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
4 ashtu siç është shkruar në librin e fjalëve të profetit Isaia, që thotë: “Ja zëri i njërit që bërtet në shkretirë: Përgatitni udhën e Zotit, drejtoni shtigjet e tij!
at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght.
5 Çdo luginë të jetë e mbushur dhe çdo mal e kodër të jetë sheshuar; vendet dredha-dredha të drejtohen dhe rrugët e vështira të sheshohen
Every valley shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth:
6 dhe çdo mish do të shohë shpëtimin e Perëndisë”.
and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
7 Ai, pra, u thoshte turmave që shkonin të pagëzoheshin prej tij: “Pjellë nepërkash, kush ju ka mesuar t’i arratiseni zemërimit që po vjen?
Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come?
8 Bëni, pra, fryte të denja pendimi dhe mos filloni të thoni brenda jush: “Ne kemi Abrahamin për Atë”, sepse unë po ju them se Perëndia mund t’i nxjerrë fëmijë Abrahamit edhe nga këta gurë.
Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.
9 Tashmë sëpata u vu në rrënjë të pemëve; çdo pemë që nuk jep fryt të mirë do të pritet dhe do të hidhet në zjarr”.
Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre.
10 Dhe turmat e pyesnin, duke thënë: “Dhe ne, pra, ç’të bëjmë?”.
And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
11 Atëherë ai, duke përgjigjur, u tha atyre: “Ai që ka dy tunika le t’i ndajë me atë që s’ka, dhe ai që ka të hajë le të veprojë po kështu”.
He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.
12 Tani erdhën edhe disa tagrambledhës që të pagëzohen dhe e pyetën: “Mësues, ç’duhet të bëjmë?”.
Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
13 Dhe ai u tha atyre: “Mos vilni asgjë më tepër nga sa ju është urdhëruar”.
And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
14 Edhe ushtarët e pyetën duke thënë: “Dhe ne, ç’duhet të bëjmë?”. Dhe ai u tha atyre: “Mos i bëni shantazh asnjeriu, mos i bëni akuza të rreme kurrkujt dhe jini të kënaqur me pagën tuaj!”.
The soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre wages.
15 Dhe populli ishte në pritje dhe të gjithë pyesnin në zemrat e veta nëse Gjoni ishte Krishti vetë.
As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:
16 Gjoni u përgjigj duke u thënë të gjithëve: “Unë ju pagëzoj me ujë; por vjen ai që është më i fortë nga unë, të cilit unë nuk jam i denjë as t’ia zgjidh lidhëset e sandaleve; ai do t’ju pagëzojë me Frymën e Shenjtë dhe me zjarr.
Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre:
17 Ai mban në dorë lopatën e vet, për ta pastruar krejt lëmin e vet dhe për të mbledhur grurin në hambarin e tij, por bykun do ta djegë me zjarr që nuk shuhet”.
which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched.
18 Kështu ai e ungjillizonte popullin duke e këshilluar me shumë mënyra të tjera.
And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
19 Por Herodi, tetraku, mbasi u qortua prej tij për shkak të Herodiadës, gruas së vëllait të tij Filipit, dhe për të gjitha mbrapshtitë që ai kishte kryer,
Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls which Herod had done)
20 U shtoi të gjitha të tjerave edhe këtë, domethënë e futi Gjonin në burg.
added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
21 Tani, si u pagëzua gjithë populli, edhe Jezusi u pagëzua; dhe ndërsa po lutej, qielli u hap
And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened
22 dhe Fryma e Shenjtë zbriti mbi të, në trajtën trupore si të pëllumbit, dhe nga qielli erdhi një zë, që thoshte: “Ti je Biri im i dashur, në ty unë jam kënaqur!”.
and the holy goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte.
23 Dhe Jezusi ishte rreth tridhjetë vjeç; dhe e pandehnin se ishte bir i Jozefit, bir i Elit;
