Luke 3
1 Nowe in the fifteenth yeere of the reigne of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being gouernour of Iudea, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galile, and his brother Philip Tetrarch of Iturea, and of the countrey of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the Tetrarch of Abilene,
凱撒提庇留執政第十五年，般雀比拉多作猶太總督，黑落德作分封侯，他的兄弟斐理伯作依突勒雅和特辣曷地方的分封侯，呂撒尼雅作阿彼肋乃分封侯，
2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
亞納斯和蓋作大司祭時，在荒野中有天主的話，傳給匝加利亞的兒子若翰。
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
他遂來走遍約旦河一帶地方，宣講悔改的洗禮，為得罪之赦。
4 As it is written in the booke of the sayings of Esaias the Prophet, which saith, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes is, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
正如依撒意亞先知預言書上記載的：『在荒野中有呼號者的聲音：你們當預備上主的道路，修直祂的途徑! 』
5 Euery valley shalbe filled, and euery mountaine and hill shall be brought lowe, and crooked things shalbe made straight, and the rough wayes shalbe made smoothe.
一切深谷要填滿，一切山丘岳邱陵要剷平，彎曲的要修直，崎嶇的要開成炟途!
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
凡有血肉的，都要看見天主的救援。』
7 Then said he to the people that were come out to be baptized of him, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the wrath to come?
於是，他對那些前來要受他洗禮的群眾說：「毒蛇的種類! 誰指教你們逃避那就要來的忿怒?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruites worthy amendment of life, and beginne not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
那麼，結與悔改相稱的果實吧! 你們心裡不要以為：我們有亞巴郎為父。我給你們說：天主能從這些石頭中給亞巴郎興起子孫來。
9 Nowe also is the axe layed vnto the roote of the trees: therefore euery tree which bringeth not foorth good fruite, shalbe hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
斧子已放到樹根上了；凡不結好果子的樹，必被砍倒，投入火中。」
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
群眾向他說：「那麼，失們該作什麼呢?
11 And he answered, and said vnto them, He that hath two coates, let him part with him that hath none: and hee that hath meate, let him doe likewise.
他答覆他們說：「有兩件內衣的，要分給那沒有的；有食物的，也應照樣做。」
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
稅吏也來受洗，並問說：「師傅，我們該作什麼呢? 」
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
他向他門說：「除給你們規定的外，不要多徵收! 」
14 The souldiers likewise demaunded of him, saying, And what shall we doe? And he saide vnto them, Doe violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your wages.
軍人也問說：「我們該作什麼呢? 」他向他門說：「不要勒索人，不要敲詐；對你的糧餉應該知足! 」
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
那時，百姓都在期待(默西亞)，為此人人心中推想：也許若翰就是默西亞。
16 Iohn answered, and saide to them all, In deede I baptize you with water, but one stronger then I, commeth, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
若翰便向眾人說道：「我固然以水洗你們，但是比我強的一位要來，就是解祂的鞋帶，我也不配。祂要以聖神和火洗你們。
17 Whose fanne is in his hande, and hee will make cleane his floore, and will gather the wheate into his garner, but the chaffe will hee burne vp with fire that neuer shalbe quenched.
木欣已放在祂手中，祂要揚淨自己的禾場，把麥粒收在倉內；至於糠秕，卻要用不滅的火焚燒。」
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
他還講了許多別的勸言，給百姓傳報喜訊。
19 But when Herod the Tetrarch was rebuked of him, for Herodias his brother Philips wife, and for all the euils which Herod had done,
分封侯黑落德卻為了自已兄弟的妻子黑落狄雅，並為了本人所作的一切惡事，受了若翰的指謫，
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
又在一切的惡事上加了這一件：即把若翰囚在監中。
21 Nowe it came to passe, as all the people were baptized, and that Iesus was baptized and did pray, that the heauen was opened:
眾百姓受洗後，耶穌也受了洗；當祂祈禱時，天開了；
22 And the holy Ghost came downe in a bodily shape like a doue, vpon him, and there was a voyce from heauen, saying, Thou art my beloued Sonne: in thee I am well pleased.
聖神藉著一個形像，如同鴿子，降祂上面；並有聲音從天上說：「你是我的愛子，我因你喜悅。」
