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 reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 dindan belegiezh veur Annaz ha Kaifaz, ger Doue a voe kaset da Yann, mab Zakaria, el lec'h distro.
in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
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 region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
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 is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths 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 shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
6 ha pep kig a welo silvidigezh Doue.
And all flesh shall 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?
He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee 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.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto 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 is the axe also laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Neuze ar bobl a c'houlennas digantañ: Petra a raimp eta?
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 Eñ a respontas dezho: An neb en deus daou gwiskamant, ra roio unan d'an hini n'en deus ket.
And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 Dont a reas ivez publikaned evit bezañ badezet, hag e lavarjont dezhañ: Mestr, petra a raimp?
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?
13 Eñ a lavaras dezho: Na gemerit ket en tu-hont d'ar pezh a zo gourc'hemennet deoc'h.
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
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 soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact [anything] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
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 as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
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 answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost 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.
whose fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 Eñ a lavare meur a gelennadurezh all d'ar bobl, o prezeg dezho an Aviel.
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto 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 tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 a reas goude an holl draoù fall all, an hini da lakaat Yann er prizon.
added yet this above all, that he shut up John 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 to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
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.
and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee 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,
