Luke 3
1 In the fiftenthe yeer of the empire of Tiberie, the emperoure, whanne Pilat of Pounce gouernede Judee, and Eroude was prince of Galilee, and Filip, his brothir, was prince of Iturye, and of the cuntre of Tracon, and Lisanye was prince of Abilyn,
Or, en la quinzième année du règne de Tibère César, Ponce Pilate étant gouverneur de la Judée, et Hérode tétrarque de la Galilée, et Philippe son frère tétrarque de l’Iturée et de la contrée de Trachonite, et Lysanias tétrarque de l’Abilène,
2 vndir the princis of prestis Annas and Caifas, the word of the Lord was maad on Joon, the sone of Zacarie, in desert.
sous la souveraine sacrificature d’Anne et de Caïphe, la parole de Dieu vint à Jean, le fils de Zacharie, au désert.
3 And he cam in to al the cuntre of Jordan, and prechide baptym of penaunce in to remyssioun of synnes.
Et il alla dans tout le pays des environs du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de repentance en rémission de péchés;
4 As it is wrytun in the book of the wordis of Isaye, the prophete, The voice of a crier in desert, Make ye redi the weie of the Lord, make ye hise pathis riyt.
comme il est écrit au livre des paroles d’Ésaïe le prophète: « Voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, faites droits ses sentiers.
5 Ech valey schal be fulfillid, and euery hil and litil hil schal be maad lowe; and schrewid thingis schulen ben in to dressid thingis, and scharp thingis in to pleyn weies;
Toute vallée sera comblée, et toute montagne et toute colline sera abaissée, et les choses tortues seront rendues droites, et les [sentiers] raboteux deviendront des sentiers unis;
6 and euery fleisch schal se the heelthe of God.
et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu ».
7 Therfor he seid to the puple, which wente out to be baptisid of hym, Kyndlyngis of eddris, who schewide to you to fle fro the wraththe to comynge?
Il disait donc aux foules qui sortaient pour être baptisées par lui: Race de vipères, qui vous a avertis de fuir la colère qui vient?
8 Therfor do ye worthi fruytis of penaunce, and bigynne ye not to seie, We han a fadir Abraham; for Y seie to you, that God is myyti to reise of these stoonys the sones of Abraham.
Produisez donc des fruits qui conviennent à la repentance; et ne vous mettez pas à dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père; car je vous dis que Dieu peut, de ces pierres, susciter des enfants à Abraham.
9 And now an axe is sett to the roote of the tree; and therfor euery tre that makith no good fruyt, schal be kit doun, and schal be cast in to the fier.
Et déjà même la cognée est mise à la racine des arbres; tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit, est coupé et jeté au feu.
10 And the puple axide hym, and seiden, What thanne schulen we do?
Et les foules l’interrogèrent, disant: Que faut-il donc que nous fassions?
11 He answeride, and seide to hem, He that hath twei cootis, yyue to hym that hath noon; and he that hath metis, do in lijk maner.
Et répondant, il leur dit: Que celui qui a deux tuniques en donne à celui qui n’en a point, et que celui qui a des vivres fasse de même.
12 And pupplicans camen to be baptisid; and thei seiden to hym, Maister, what schulen we do?
Et des publicains vinrent aussi pour être baptisés; et ils lui dirent: Maître, que faut-il que nous fassions?
13 And he seide to hem, Do ye no thing more, than that that is ordeyned to you.
Et il leur dit: Ne percevez rien au-delà de ce qui vous est ordonné.
14 And knyytis axiden hym, and seiden, What schulen also we do? And he seide to hem, Smyte ye wrongfuli no man, nethir make ye fals chalenge, and be ye apayed with youre sowdis.
Et des gens de guerre l’interrogèrent aussi, disant: Et nous, que faut-il que nous fassions? Et il leur dit: Ne commettez pas d’extorsions, ni n’accusez faussement personne, et contentez-vous de vos gages.
15 Whanne al the puple gesside, and alle men thouyten in her hertis of Joon, lest perauenture he were Crist,
– Et comme le peuple était dans l’attente, et que tous raisonnaient dans leurs cœurs à l’égard de Jean si lui ne serait point le Christ,
16 Joon answeride, and seide to alle men, Y baptize you in watir; but a stronger than Y schal come aftir me, of whom Y am not worthi to vnbynde the lace of his schoon; he schal baptize you in the Hooli Goost and fier.
Jean répondait à tous, disant: Moi, je vous baptise avec de l’eau; mais il vient, celui qui est plus puissant que moi, duquel je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie des sandales: lui vous baptisera de l’Esprit Saint et de feu.
17 Whos `wynewyng tool in his hond, and he schal purge his floor of corn, and schal gadere the whete in to his berne; but the chaffis he schal brenne with fier vnquenchable.
Il a son van dans sa main, et il nettoiera entièrement son aire et assemblera le froment dans son grenier, mais il brûlera la balle au feu inextinguible.
18 And many othere thingis also he spak, and prechide to the puple. But Eroude tetrark, whanne he was blamed of Joon for Erodias,
Et faisant aussi plusieurs autres exhortations, il évangélisait donc le peuple;
19 the wijf of his brother, and for alle the yuelis that Eroude dide,
mais Hérode le tétrarque, étant repris par lui au sujet d’Hérodias, la femme de son frère, et à cause de toutes les choses méchantes qu’Hérode avait faites,
20 encreside this ouer alle, and schitte Joon in prisoun.
ajouta encore à toutes les autres celle de mettre Jean en prison.
21 And it was don, whanne al the puple was baptised, and whanne Jhesu was baptised, and preiede, heuene was openyd.
Et il arriva que, comme tout le peuple était baptisé, Jésus aussi étant baptisé et priant, le ciel s’ouvrit;
22 And the Hooli Goost cam doun in bodili licnesse, as a dowue on hym; and a vois was maad fro heuene, Thou art my derworth sone, in thee it hath plesid to me.
et l’Esprit Saint descendit sur lui sous une forme corporelle, comme une colombe; et il y eut une voix qui venait du ciel: Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé; en toi j’ai trouvé mon plaisir.
23 And Jhesu hym silf was bigynninge as of thritti yeer, that he was gessid the sone of Joseph, which was of Heli,
