Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
La quinzième année de l'empire de Tibère César, Ponce Pilate étant gouverneur de la Judée, Hérode, tétrarque de la Galilée, Philippe son frère, tétrarque de l'Iturée et de la province de la Trachonite, et Lysanias; tétrarque d'Abylène,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Sous la souveraine sacrificature d'Anne et de Caïphe, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zacharie, dans le désert.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Et il vint dans tout le pays des environs du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de repentance, pour la rémission des péchés;
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
Selon qu'il est écrit au livre des paroles du prophète Ésaïe: Voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, aplanissez ses sentiers.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
Toute vallée sera comblée, et toute montagne et toute colline sera abaissée, les chemins tortueux seront redressés, et les chemins raboteux seront aplanis;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Il disait donc au peuple qui venait pour être baptisé par lui: Race 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 for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Produisez donc des fruits convenables à la repentance; et ne vous mettez point à dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père; car je vous dis que Dieu peut faire naître de ces pierres des enfants à Abraham.
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
Or, la cognée est déjà mise à la racine des arbres. Tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit va être coupé et jeté au feu.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Alors le peuple lui demanda: Que ferons-nous donc?
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Il leur répondit: Que celui qui a deux habits en donne à celui qui n'en a point; et que celui qui a de la nourriture en fasse de même.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Il vint aussi des péagers pour être baptisés;
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Et ils lui dirent: Maître, que ferons-nous? Et il leur dit: N'exigez rien au-delà de ce qui vous a été ordonné.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
Les gens de guerre lui demandèrent aussi: Et nous, que ferons-nous? Il leur dit: N'usez point de violence ni de tromperie envers personne, mais contentez vous de votre paye.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Et comme le peuple était dans l'attente, et que tous se demandaient en leurs cœurs si Jean ne serait point le Christ,
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
Jean prit la parole et dit à tous: Pour moi, je vous baptise d'eau; mais il en vient un plus puissant que moi; et je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie de ses souliers; c'est lui qui vous baptisera du Saint-Esprit et de feu.
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Il a son van dans ses mains, il nettoiera parfaitement son aire, et il amassera le froment dans son grenier; mais il brûlera entièrement la paille, au feu qui ne s'éteint point.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Il adressait encore plusieurs autres exhortations au peuple, en lui annonçant l'Évangile.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
Mais Hérode le tétrarque ayant été repris par Jean, au sujet d'Hérodias, femme de Philippe son frère, et de toutes les méchantes actions qu'il avait faites,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Ajouta encore à toutes les autres celle de faire mettre Jean en prison.
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
Or, comme tout le peuple se faisait baptiser, Jésus fut aussi baptisé; et pendant qu'il priait, le ciel s'ouvrit,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
Et le Saint-Esprit descendit sur lui sous une forme corporelle, comme une colombe; et il vint une voix du ciel, qui dit: Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j'ai pris plaisir.
