Luke 3
1 Then, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
En l'an quinze du règne de Tibère César, — Ponce-Pilate étant procurateur de la Judée, — Hérode, tétrarque de la Galilée, —Philippe, son frère, tétrarque de l'Iturée et des terres de la Trachonite, — Lysanias, tétrarque de l'Abilène, —
2 under the high priests Annas and Caiaphas: the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
sous le pontificat de Banne et de Kaïphe, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zaccharie, dans le désert.
3 And he went into the entire region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
Et Jean s'en alla dans toute la région du Jourdain, prêchant un baptême de repentance pour la rémission des péchés,
4 just as it has been written in the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah: “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.
ainsi que cela est écrit au livre des paroles du prophète Ésaïe: «Une voix crie dans le désert: Préparez la voie du Seigneur, Aplanissez ses sentiers;
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low. And what is crooked shall be made straight. And the rough paths shall be made into level ways.
Toute vallée sera comblée; Toute montagne et toute colline seront abaissées; Les voies tortueuses seront changées en droits chemins; Et les voies rocailleuses en routes unies;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu»
7 Therefore, he said to the crowd that went out in order to be baptized by him: “You progeny of vipers! Who told you to flee from the approaching wrath?
Aux foules qui accouraient pour être baptisées par lui, il disait: «Engeance de vipères, qui vous a appris à fuir la colère à venir?
8 So then, produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God has the power to raise up sons to Abraham from these stones.
Produisez donc des fruits dignes de la repentance, et n'allez pas dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons pour père Abraham; car je vous le dis, Dieu peut faire surgir, des pierres que voici, des enfants à Abraham.
9 For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.”
Déjà la cognée touche la racine des arbres. Tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit, sera coupé et jeté au feu.» —
10 And the crowed was questioning him, saying, “What then should we do?”
«Qu'avons-nous à faire?» lui demandèrent alors les multitudes.
11 But in response, he said to them: “Whoever has two coats, let him give to those who do not have. And whoever has food, let him act similarly.”
Il leur répondit par ces paroles: «Que celui qui possède deux tuniques en donne une à celui qui n'en a pas et que celui qui a des aliments pour se nourrir fasse de même.»
12 Now the tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
Des publicains vinrent pour être baptisés et lui dirent aussi: «Maître, qu'avons-nous à faire?» —
13 But he said to them, “You should do nothing more than what has been appointed to you.”
«N'exigez rien de plus, leur répondit-il, que ce qui vous a été prescrit.»
14 Then the soldiers also questioned him, saying, “And what should we do?” And he said to them: “You should strike no one, and you should not make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”
Des soldats aussi le questionnèrent: «Et nous, qu'avons-nous à faire?» A eux il dit: «Ne faites violence à personne; ne faites tort à personne; contentez-vous de votre paye.»
15 Now all were thinking about John in their hearts, and the people were supposing that perhaps he might be the Christ.
Le peuple était en suspens; et chacun se demandait, dans le secret de son coeur, si Jean n'était pas peut-être le Christ.
16 John responded by saying to everyone: “Indeed, I baptize you with water. But there will arrive one stronger than me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and with fire.
Pour répondre à tous, Jean dit: «Moi, je vous baptise d'eau; mais il va venir celui qui est plus puissant que moi; je ne suis pas même digne de délier la courroie de ses sandales; lui, vous baptisera avec l'Esprit saint et le feu.
17 His winnowing fan is in his hand. And he will purify his threshing floor. And he will gather the wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
Il a le van dans la main pour nettoyer son aire et rassembler le froment dans son grenier; mais la paille il la brûlera au feu inextinguible.»
18 Indeed, he also proclaimed many other things, exhorting the people.
C'est ainsi qu'il annonçait la Bonne Nouvelle au peuples par des exhortations nombreuses et variées.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was corrected by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, and concerning all the evils that Herod had done,
Le tétrarque Hérode, cependant, ayant été repris par lui tant au sujet d'Hérodiade, femme de son frère, qu'au sujet des mille crimes qu'il avait commis,
20 added this also, above all else: that he confined John to prison.
ajouta encore celui-ci à tous les autres: il fit jeter Jean en prison.
21 Now it happened that, when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized; and as he was praying, heaven was opened.
Or tout le peuple ayant reçu le baptême, et Jésus aussi ayant été baptisé, il advint que le ciel s'ouvrit, pendant qu'il priait,
22 And the Holy Spirit, in a corporal appearance like a dove, descended upon him. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son. In you, I am well pleased.”
et que l'Esprit saint descendit sur lui sous une forme corporelle, sous la figure d'une colombe; et une voix vint du ciel: «Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé, en toi je me complais.»
