Luc 3
1 Ar bemzekvet bloavezh eus impalaerded Tiberius Kezar, Poñs-Pilat o vezañ gouarner Judea, Herodez tetrark Galilea, Filip e vreur tetrark Iturea ha Trakonitiz, Lisaniaz tetrark Abilen,
Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,
2 dindan belegiezh veur Annaz ha Kaifaz, ger Doue a voe kaset da Yann, mab Zakaria, el lec'h distro.
When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.
3 Yann a zeuas en holl vro war-dro ar Jordan, o prezeg badeziant ar geuzidigezh evit pardon ar pec'hedoù,
And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.
4 evel ma'z eo skrivet e levr lavarioù ar profed Izaia: Mouezh an hini a gri el lec'h distro a lavar: Kempennit hent an Aotrou, plaenait e wenodennoù.
As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.
5 Pep traonienn a vo leuniet, pep menez ha krec'hienn a vo izelaet; an hentoù gwariet a vo eeunaet, hag ar re dorgennek a vo kompezet;
Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
6 ha pep kig a welo silvidigezh Doue.
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
7 Lavarout a rae eta d'ar bobl a zeue evit bezañ badezet gantañ: Lignez a naered-wiber, piv en deus desket deoc'h tec'hout diouzh ar gounnar da zont?
So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?
8 Dougit eta frouezh dereat d'ar geuzidigezh, ha n'en em lakait ket da lavarout ennoc'h hoc'h-unan: Ni hon eus evit tad Abraham; rak me a lavar deoc'h, e c'hell Doue ober genel eus ar vein-se bugale da Abraham.
Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.
9 Ar vouc'hal a zo a-vremañ lakaet ouzh gwrizioù ar gwez. Pep gwezenn eta na ro ket frouezh mat, a ya da vezañ troc'het ha taolet en tan.
And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.
10 Neuze ar bobl a c'houlennas digantañ: Petra a raimp eta?
And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do?
11 Eñ a respontas dezho: An neb en deus daou gwiskamant, ra roio unan d'an hini n'en deus ket.
And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same.
12 Dont a reas ivez publikaned evit bezañ badezet, hag e lavarjont dezhañ: Mestr, petra a raimp?
Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do?
13 Eñ a lavaras dezho: Na gemerit ket en tu-hont d'ar pezh a zo gourc'hemennet deoc'h.
And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount.
14 Soudarded a c'houlennas ivez digantañ: Ha ni, petra a raimp? Eñ a lavaras dezho: Na wallgasit den ha na damallit den e gaou, met tremenit gant ho pae.
And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.
15 Evel ma oa ar bobl o c'hortoz, ha ma c'houlenne an holl en o c'halon hag eñ ne oa ket Yann ar C'hrist,
And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,
16 Yann en em lakaas da lavarout d'an holl: Me ho padez en dour, met unan all a zeu, galloudusoc'h egedon, ha n'on ket dellezek da zieren korreenn e votoù. Eñ ho padezo er Spered-Santel hag en tan.
John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
17 E grouer a zo en e zaouarn, naetaat a raio mat e leur, hag e tastumo ar gwinizh en e solier, met ar pell a zevo en tan na varv ket.
In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out.
18 Eñ a lavare meur a gelennadurezh all d'ar bobl, o prezeg dezho an Aviel.
And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people;
19 Met Herodez an tetrark, o vezañ bet tamallet gant Yann diwar-benn Herodiaz, gwreg [Filip] e vreur, ha diwar-benn an holl draoù fall en devoa graet,
But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,
20 a reas goude an holl draoù fall all, an hini da lakaat Yann er prizon.
Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.
21 Evel ma rae an holl bobl en em vadeziñ gantañ, Jezuz a voe ivez badezet; hag e-pad ma pede, an neñv a zigoras,
Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,
22 hag ar Spered-Santel a ziskennas warnañ e doare ur c'horf, evel hini ur goulm; hag ur vouezh a zeuas eus an neñv, o lavarout: Te eo va Mab karet-mat, ennout em eus lakaet va holl levenez.
The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
23 Jezuz a oa oadet war-dro tregont vloaz p'en em lakaas da brezeg, hag e oa, evel ma kreded, mab da Jozef, mab Heli,
