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,
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 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, 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 the 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: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
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 made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways 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 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?
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 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 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 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.
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 multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
«Qu'avons-nous à faire?» lui demandèrent alors les multitudes.
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 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 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Des publicains vinrent pour être baptisés et lui dirent aussi: «Maître, qu'avons-nous à faire?» —
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
«N'exigez rien de plus, leur répondit-il, que ce qui vous a été prescrit.»
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.
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 while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
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 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.
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 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 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 giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to 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 on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds 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 this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
ajouta encore celui-ci à tous les autres: il fit jeter 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 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 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 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.»
