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,
凱撒提庇留在位第十五年，本丟‧彼拉多作猶太巡撫，希律作加利利分封的王，他兄弟腓力作以土利亞和特拉可尼地方分封的王，呂撒聶作亞比利尼分封的王，
2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
亞那和該亞法作大祭司。那時，撒迦利亞的兒子約翰在曠野裏，上帝的話臨到他。
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
他就來到約旦河一帶地方，宣講悔改的洗禮，使罪得赦。
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.
正如先知以賽亞書上所記的話，說： 在曠野有人聲喊着說： 預備主的道， 修直他的路！
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.
一切山窪都要填滿； 大小山岡都要削平！ 彎彎曲曲的地方要改為正直； 高高低低的道路要改為平坦！
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
凡有血氣的，都要見上帝的救恩！
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?
約翰對那出來要受他洗的眾人說：「毒蛇的種類！誰指示你們逃避將來的忿怒呢？
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.
你們要結出果子來，與悔改的心相稱。不要自己心裏說：『有亞伯拉罕為我們的祖宗。』我告訴你們，上帝能從這些石頭中，給亞伯拉罕興起子孫來。
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.
現在斧子已經放在樹根上，凡不結好果子的樹就砍下來，丟在火裏。」
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
眾人問他說：「這樣，我們當做甚麼呢？」
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.
約翰回答說：「有兩件衣裳的，就分給那沒有的；有食物的，也當這樣行。」
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
又有稅吏來要受洗，問他說：「夫子，我們當做甚麼呢？」
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
約翰說：「除了例定的數目，不要多取。」
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.
又有兵丁問他說：「我們當做甚麼呢？」約翰說：「不要以強暴待人，也不要訛詐人，自己有錢糧就當知足。」
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
百姓指望基督來的時候，人都心裏猜疑，或者約翰是基督。
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.
約翰說：「我是用水給你們施洗，但有一位能力比我更大的要來，我就是給他解鞋帶也不配。他要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。
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.
他手裏拿着簸箕，要揚淨他的場，把麥子收在倉裏，把糠用不滅的火燒盡了。」
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
約翰又用許多別的話勸百姓，向他們傳福音。
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,
只是分封的王希律，因他兄弟之妻希羅底的緣故，並因他所行的一切惡事，受了約翰的責備；
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
又另外添了一件，就是把約翰收在監裏。
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:
眾百姓都受了洗，耶穌也受了洗。正禱告的時候，天就開了，
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.
聖靈降臨在他身上，形狀彷彿鴿子；又有聲音從天上來，說：「你是我的愛子，我喜悅你。」
