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 Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
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 in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
Et Jean s'en alla dans toute la région du Jourdain, prêchant un baptême de repentance pour la rémission des péchés,
4 at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght.
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 shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth:
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 flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu»
7 Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye 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 Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto 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 Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre.
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 axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
«Qu'avons-nous à faire?» lui demandèrent alors les multitudes.
11 He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.
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 ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto 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 sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
«N'exigez rien de plus, leur répondit-il, que ce qui vous a été prescrit.»
14 The soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre 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 As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very 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 Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre:
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 which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched.
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 thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
C'est ainsi qu'il annonçait la Bonne Nouvelle au peuples par des exhortations nombreuses et variées.
19 Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls 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 above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
ajouta encore celui-ci à tous les autres: il fit jeter Jean en prison.
21 And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave 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 goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte.
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.»
