Luke 3
1 By now Tiberias had been Caesar for fifteen years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip was ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanius was ruler of Abiline.
第一款 洗者ヨハネの先駆 チベリオ、セザルの在位の十五年、ポンシオ、ピラトはユデアの総督たり、ヘロデはガリレア分國の王たり、其兄弟フィリッポはイチュレア及トラコニト地方分國の王たり、リサニアはアビリナ分國の王たり、
2 Annas and Caiphas were the current high priests. This was the time when the word of God came to John, Zechariah's son, who was living in the desert.
アンナとカイファとは司祭長たりし時、ザカリアの子ヨハネ、荒野に在りて主の御言を蒙り、
3 He went throughout the whole Jordan region, announcing to everyone that they needed to be baptized to show they had repented and their sins had been forgiven.
ヨルダン[河]の全地方を巡りて、罪の赦を得させん為に、改心の洗禮を宣傳へたり。
4 As Isaiah the prophet wrote: “A voice was heard crying out in the desert, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
預言者イザヤの言の書に録して「荒野に呼はる者の聲ありて曰く、汝等主の道を備へ、其徑を直くせよ。
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled. Crooked ways will be straightened, and rough roads will be smoothed.
凡ての谷は填められ、凡ての山丘は坦され、曲れるは直くせられ、険しき處は平なる路となり、
6 Every human being will see God's salvation.’”
人皆神の救を見ん」とあるに違はず。
7 John addressed the crowds that came to him to be baptized. “You viper's brood! Who warned you to flee from the coming judgment?” he asked.
然てヨハネ、己に洗せられんとて出來れる群衆に云ひけるは、蝮の裔よ、來るべき怒を遁るる事を、誰か汝等に教へしぞ。
8 “Demonstrate that you have truly repented. Don't try to justify yourselves by saying, ‘We're Abraham's descendants.’ Let me tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these stones.
然れば改心の相當なる果を結べよ。又我等の父にアブラハム在りと云はんとすること勿れ。蓋我汝等に告ぐ、神は是等の石よりアブラハムの為に子等を起すことを得給ふ。
9 The ax is set to begin chopping at the base of the trees. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
既に斧樹の根に置かれたり。故に総て善き果を結ばざる樹は、伐られて火に投入れらるべし、と。
10 “So what should we do?” the crowds asked him.
群衆ヨハネに問ひて、然らば我等何を為すべきぞ、と云ひければ、
11 “If you have two coats, then share with someone who doesn't have one. If you have food, then share with those who don't,” he told them.
彼答へて、二枚の肌着を有てる人は有たぬ人に與へよ、食物を有てる人も同じ様にせよ、と云ひ居たり。
12 Some tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher, what should we do?” they also asked.
又税吏ありて、洗せられんとて來り、師よ、我等何を為すべきぞ、と云ひしかば、
13 “Don't collect any more tax than you're meant to,” he replied.
ヨハネ彼等に向ひ、汝等は定まりたる物の外、何をも取ること勿れ、と云へり。
14 “What about us?” some soldiers asked. “What should we do?” “Don't demand money with threats of violence. Don't make accusations that are untrue. Be satisfied with your wages,” he replied.
兵卒も亦之に問ひて、我等は何を為すべきぞ、と云へば、ヨハネ彼等に向ひ、汝等は、誰をも悩ますこと勿れ、又讒訴すること勿れ、己が給料を以て足れりとせよ、と云へり。
15 The people were waiting expectantly, and wondered whether John himself might be the Messiah.
人民は待佗びて、ヨハネを或はキリストならんと、皆心に推量りつつありければ、
16 John replied and explained to everybody, “Yes, I am baptizing you in water. But the one who is coming is more important than me, and I'm not worthy to undo his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
ヨハネ答へて人々に云ひけるは、實に我は水にて汝等を洗す、然れど我に優りて力或もの将に來らんとす、我は其履の紐を解くにも足らず。彼は聖霊と火とにて汝等を洗し給ふべし。
17 His winnowing fork is in his hand and he's ready to separate the wheat from the chaff on his threshing floor. He'll gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with fire that can't be extinguished.”
彼の手に箕ありて其禾場を潔め、麦は倉に収め、殻は滅えざる火にて焼き給ふべし、と。
18 John gave many warnings like this as he announced the good news to the people.
ヨハネ尚多くの事を人に教へて、福音を宣べ居たり。
19 But when John reprimanded Herod the ruler for marrying Herodias, Herod's brother's wife, and for all the evil things he'd done,
然れど分國の王ヘロデ、其兄弟の妻ヘロヂァデの事に就き、又自ら為せる凡ての惡事に就きてヨハネに諌められければ、
20 Herod added to his crimes by having John thrown into jail.
諸の惡事に今一を加へてヨハネを監獄に閉籠めたりき。
21 Now it happened that after everyone had been baptized, Jesus was baptized as well. As he was praying, heaven was opened,
第二款 イエズス自身の準備 人民挙りて洗せらるる時、イエズスも洗せられて祈り給ふに、天開け、
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, taking the form of a dove. A voice came from heaven, saying, “You are my son, the one I love. I am truly pleased with you.”
聖霊形に顕れて、鴿の如くイエズスの上に降り給ひ、又天より聲して、汝は我愛子なり、我汝によりて心を安んぜり、と曰へり。
23 Jesus was around thirty when he began his public ministry. People presumed he was the son of Joseph. Joseph was the son of Heli,
