Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis,
凯撒提庇留在位第十五年，本丢·彼拉多作犹太巡抚，希律作加利利分封的王，他兄弟腓力作以土利亚和特拉可尼地方分封的王，吕撒聂作亚比利尼分封的王，
2 and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being high priests, the word of God came unto John the Son of Zacharias in the wilderness:
亚那和该亚法作大祭司。那时，撒迦利亚的儿子约翰在旷野里， 神的话临到他。
3 and he went into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
他就来到约旦河一带地方，宣讲悔改的洗礼，使罪得赦。
4 as it is written in the book of Esaias the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:
正如先知以赛亚书上所记的话，说： 在旷野有人声喊着说： 预备主的道， 修直他的路！
5 every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth:
一切山洼都要填满； 大小山冈都要削平！ 弯弯曲曲的地方要改为正直； 高高低低的道路要改为平坦！
6 and all men shall see the salvation of God."
凡有血气的，都要见 神的救恩！
7 Therefore said he to the multitudes that came to be baptised by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
约翰对那出来要受他洗的众人说：“毒蛇的种类！谁指示你们逃避将来的忿怒呢？
8 Bring forth therefore fruits becoming penitents, and do not say within yourselves, "We have Abraham for our father," for I tell you that God can of these stones raise up children to Abraham.
你们要结出果子来，与悔改的心相称。不要自己心里说：‘有亚伯拉罕为我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们， 神能从这些石头中，给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来。
9 And now the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which doth not yield good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
现在斧子已经放在树根上，凡不结好果子的树就砍下来，丢在火里。”
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
众人问他说：“这样，我们当做什么呢？”
11 And he saith unto them, Let him that hath two coats, give one to him that hath none, and let him that hath food do the like.
约翰回答说：“有两件衣裳的，就分给那没有的；有食物的，也当这样行。”
12 And there came publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
又有税吏来要受洗，问他说：“夫子，我们当做什么呢？”
13 And He said unto them, Exact no more than what is appointed you.
约翰说：“除了例定的数目，不要多取。”
14 And the soldiers also asked 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 pay.
又有兵丁问他说：“我们当做什么呢？”约翰说：“不要以强暴待人，也不要讹诈人，自己有钱粮就当知足。”
15 Now as the people were in suspense, and were all thinking in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ or not,
百姓指望基督来的时候，人都心里猜疑，或者约翰是基督。
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but a mightier than I is coming, whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: He will baptize you with the holy Spirit, and with fire;
约翰说：“我是用水给你们施洗，但有一位能力比我更大的要来，我就是给他解鞋带也不配。他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。
17 whose fan is in his hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary, but will burn up the chaff in unquenchable fire.
他手里拿着簸箕，要扬净他的场，把麦子收在仓里，把糠用不灭的火烧尽了。”
18 And many other things by way of exhortation did he preach unto the people.
约翰又用许多别的话劝百姓，向他们传福音。
19 But Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the wicked things which Herod did,
只是分封的王希律，因他兄弟之妻希罗底的缘故，并因他所行的一切恶事，受了约翰的责备；
20 added this likewise to all the rest, that he shut up John in prison.
又另外添了一件，就是把约翰收在监里。
21 Now, when all the people were baptized, and Jesus was baptized and praying,
众百姓都受了洗，耶稣也受了洗。正祷告的时候，天就开了，
22 the heaven was opened, and the holy Spirit descended in a corporeal form, like a dove upon Him, and there came a voice from heaven saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
圣灵降临在他身上，形状仿佛鸽子；又有声音从天上来，说：“你是我的爱子，我喜悦你。”
