Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the 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 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of YHWH came unto John the son of Zacharias 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 came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the 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 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of YHWH, make his paths straight.
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 the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
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 YHWH.
Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu»
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That YHWH is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
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 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn 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 people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
«Qu'avons-nous à faire?» lui demandèrent alors les multitudes.
11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
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 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Des publicains vinrent pour être baptisés et lui dirent aussi: «Maître, qu'avons-nous à faire?» —
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
«N'exigez rien de plus, leur répondit-il, que ce qui vous a été prescrit.»
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
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 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Messiah, or not;
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 answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with 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 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
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 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
C'est ainsi qu'il annonçait la Bonne Nouvelle au peuples par des exhortations nombreuses et variées.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which 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 yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
ajouta encore celui-ci à tous les autres: il fit jeter Jean en prison.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Yahushua also being baptized, and praying, the 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 descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee 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.»
