Luke 3
1 In the fiftenthe yeare of the raygne of Tiberius the Emperoure Pontius Pylate beinge leftenaut of Iurie and Herode beinge Tetrach of Galile and his brother Philip Tetrach in Iturea and in the region of Traconites and Lysanias the Tetrach of Abyline
La quinzième année du règne 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 de l'Abylène,
2 when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
Anne et Caïphe étant souverains sacrificateurs, — la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zacharie, dans le désert.
3 And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
Alors Jean parcourut toute la contrée voisine du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de la 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 qu'il est écrit dans le livre des paroles du prophète Ésaïe: «Une voix crie dans le désert: Préparez le chemin 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 chemins tortueux seront redressés, les chemins raboteux seront aplanis;
6 and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
et toute créature 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?
Il disait donc à la foule qui venait pour être baptisée par lui: Race 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 d'une vraie repentance! Et n'allez pas dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père. Car je vous dis que, de ces pierres. Dieu peut faire naître 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 est mise à la racine des arbres. Tout arbre qui ne produit pas de bons fruits va être coupé et jeté au feu.
10 And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
Alors la foule lui demanda: Que ferons-nous donc?
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: Que celui qui a deux tuniques, en donne une à celui qui n'en a point; et que celui qui a de quoi manger agisse de même.
12 Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
Il vint aussi des péagers pour être baptisés; et ils lui dirent: Maître, que ferons-nous?
13 And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
Il leur répondit: N'exigez rien au delà de ce qui vous est ordonné.
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 gens de guerre lui demandèrent aussi: Et nous, que ferons-nous? Il leur répondit: N'usez ni de violence ni de fraude envers personne; mais contentez-vous de votre solde.
15 As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:
Comme le peuple était dans l'attente, et que tous se demandaient en leur coeur si Jean ne serait pas 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:
Jean, prenant la parole, dit à tous: Pour moi, je vous baptise d'eau; mais il vient, celui qui est plus puissant que moi! Je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie de ses chaussures; c'est lui qui vous baptisera d'Esprit saint et de 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 son van dans sa main, il nettoiera parfaitement son aire et amassera le froment dans son grenier; mais il brûlera la paille au feu qui ne s'éteint point.
18 And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
Il adressait encore plusieurs autres exhortations au peuple, en lui annonçant la bonne nouvelle.
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)
Mais Hérode le tétrarque, étant repris par Jean au sujet d'Hérodias, femme de son frère, et au sujet de tous les crimes qu'il avait commis,
20 added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
ajouta encore à tous les autres celui de faire mettre 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, comme tout le peuple se faisait baptiser, Jésus se fit baptiser, lui aussi. Pendant qu'il priait, le ciel s'ouvrit,
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 le Saint-Esprit descendit sur lui, sous une forme corporelle, comme une colombe; et il vint du ciel une voix qui dit: Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j'ai mis toute mon affection!
