Lukáš 3
1 Z Božího pověření Jan Křtitel procházel údolím řeky Jordánu a kázal: „Zanechejte hříšného života a proste Boha, aby vám odpustil. Já vás pokřtím na znamení vašeho pokání.“Jana, syna Zachariášova, Bůh vyzval, aby vystoupil z ústraní. Stalo se to v patnáctém roce vlády císaře Tiberia. Tehdy byl římským správcem Judska Pontský Pilát, Herodes byl knížetem v Galileji, jeho bratr Filip v Iturii a Trachonitidě a Lyzaniáš v Abiléně. Velekněžský úřad v Jeruzalémě zastávali Annáš a Kaifáš.
In the fiftenthe yeer of the empire of Tiberie, the emperoure, whanne Pilat of Pounce gouernede Judee, and Eroude was prince of Galilee, and Filip, his brothir, was prince of Iturye, and of the cuntre of Tracon, and Lisanye was prince of Abilyn,
vndir the princis of prestis Annas and Caifas, the word of the Lord was maad on Joon, the sone of Zacarie, in desert.
And he cam in to al the cuntre of Jordan, and prechide baptym of penaunce in to remyssioun of synnes.
4 Tak se splnila dávná předpověď proroka Izajáše: „Z pouště volá hlas: Připravte Pánu cestu a odstraňte mu překážky!
As it is wrytun in the book of the wordis of Isaye, the prophete, The voice of a crier in desert, Make ye redi the weie of the Lord, make ye hise pathis riyt.
5 Zasypejte všechny strže, srovnejte každou horu a pahorek, napřimte křivé stezky a uhlaďte hrbolaté pěšiny, dříve než se zjeví Boží Vysvoboditel všem!“
Ech valey schal be fulfillid, and euery hil and litil hil schal be maad lowe; and schrewid thingis schulen ben in to dressid thingis, and scharp thingis in to pleyn weies;
and euery fleisch schal se the heelthe of God.
7 Lidé se k Janovi hrnuli v zástupech, aby se od něho dali pokřtít. Často však od něho slýchali ostrá napomenutí: „Vy chytráci! Myslíte, že se vykroutíte z Božího soudu jako hadi?
Therfor he seid to the puple, which wente out to be baptisid of hym, Kyndlyngis of eddris, who schewide to you to fle fro the wraththe to comynge?
8 Ovoce pokání jsou činy; dokažte jimi, že se opravdu chcete změnit! Domníváte se, že se vám nemůže nic stát, protože máte praotce Abrahama? To vám nepomůže. Vždyť i z nevěrců tvrdých jako kámen si může Bůh stvořit dědice Abrahamovy víry. Dejte si pozor!
Therfor do ye worthi fruytis of penaunce, and bigynne ye not to seie, We han a fadir Abraham; for Y seie to you, that God is myyti to reise of these stoonys the sones of Abraham.
9 Na kořeny stromů již míří sekera. Každý strom, který neponese dobré ovoce, bude poražen a vhozen do ohně.“
And now an axe is sett to the roote of the tree; and therfor euery tre that makith no good fruyt, schal be kit doun, and schal be cast in to the fier.
10 Lidé se ho ptali: „Tak co máme dělat?“
And the puple axide hym, and seiden, What thanne schulen we do?
11 Jan jim odpovídal: „Máš dvě košile? Rozděl se s tím, kdo nemá žádnou. Máš co jíst? Rozděl se s tím, kdo hladoví.“
He answeride, and seide to hem, He that hath twei cootis, yyue to hym that hath noon; and he that hath metis, do in lijk maner.
12 Přicházeli k němu i výběrčí daní a ptali se ho: „Mistře, co máme dělat my?“
And pupplicans camen to be baptisid; and thei seiden to hym, Maister, what schulen we do?
13 A on jim řekl: „Nevymáhejte více, než je stanoveno.“
And he seide to hem, Do ye no thing more, than that that is ordeyned to you.
14 I vojáci se ptali: „A co my?“Těm říkal: „Nikoho netýrejte a nevydírejte, spokojte se se svým žoldem.“
And knyytis axiden hym, and seiden, What schulen also we do? And he seide to hem, Smyte ye wrongfuli no man, nethir make ye fals chalenge, and be ye apayed with youre sowdis.
15 Lidé byli plni očekávání Mesiáše a začali se dohadovat, zdali to není Jan.
Whanne al the puple gesside, and alle men thouyten in her hertis of Joon, lest perauenture he were Crist,
16 On to však popřel: „Já vás křtím vodou, ale přichází mocnější, než jsem já. Tomu nejsem hoden ani boty zavázat. Ten vás bude křtít Duchem svatým a pročistí vás ohněm soudu.
Joon answeride, and seide to alle men, Y baptize you in watir; but a stronger than Y schal come aftir me, of whom Y am not worthi to vnbynde the lace of his schoon; he schal baptize you in the Hooli Goost and fier.
17 Již drží lopatu, aby na mlatu proházel zrno a oddělil je od plev. Pšenici shromáždí do své sýpky, ale plevy spálí neuhasitelným ohněm.“
Whos `wynewyng tool in his hond, and he schal purge his floor of corn, and schal gadere the whete in to his berne; but the chaffis he schal brenne with fier vnquenchable.
18 A podobným způsobem mluvil Jan k lidem, aby je vyburcoval a vnitřně připravil na příchod Mesiáše.
And many othere thingis also he spak, and prechide to the puple. But Eroude tetrark, whanne he was blamed of Joon for Erodias,
19 I Heroda, vládce Galileje, káral za to, že svému bratru Filipovi přebral manželku Herodiadu, a za všechno další zlo, které napáchal.
the wijf of his brother, and for alle the yuelis that Eroude dide,
20 Později dal Herodes Jana uvěznit a tím svoje zločiny dovršil.
encreside this ouer alle, and schitte Joon in prisoun.
21 Jednoho dne přišel se zástupem ke křtu také Ježíš. Byl pokřtěn, a když se modlil, otevřelo se nebe,
And it was don, whanne al the puple was baptised, and whanne Jhesu was baptised, and preiede, heuene was openyd.
22 Duch svatý na něj sestoupil v podobě holubice a ozval se hlas: „Ty jsi můj milovaný Syn, moje radost.“
And the Hooli Goost cam doun in bodili licnesse, as a dowue on hym; and a vois was maad fro heuene, Thou art my derworth sone, in thee it hath plesid to me.
23 Ježíšovi bylo asi třicet let, když začal veřejně působit. Lidé ho považovali za syna tesaře Josefa.
And Jhesu hym silf was bigynninge as of thritti yeer, that he was gessid the sone of Joseph, which was of Heli,
