Luc 3
1 La quinzième année du règne de Tibère César, Ponce Pilate étant gouverneur de Judée, Hérode tétrarque de Galilée, son frère Philippe tétrarque de la région d'Iturée et de Trachonite, et Lysanias tétrarque d'Abilène,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 pendant le grand sacerdoce d'Anne et de Caïphe, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zacharie, dans le désert.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Il alla dans toute la région du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de repentance pour la rémission des péchés.
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Comme il est écrit dans le livre des paroles du prophète Ésaïe, « La voix de celui qui crie dans le désert, Préparez le chemin du Seigneur. Rendre ses chemins droits.
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Toute vallée sera remplie. Toute montagne et toute colline seront abaissées. Le tordu deviendra droit, et les chemins difficiles s'aplanissent.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth;
6 Toute chair verra le salut de Dieu.'"
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Il disait donc à la foule qui sortait pour être baptisée par lui: « Races de vipères, qui vous a avertis de fuir la colère à venir?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Produisez donc des fruits dignes de la repentance, et ne commencez pas à dire entre vous: « Nous avons Abraham pour père »; car je vous dis que Dieu peut susciter des enfants à Abraham à partir de ces pierres!
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Maintenant aussi, la hache est à la racine des arbres. Tout arbre qui ne produit pas de bons fruits est donc coupé et jeté au feu. »
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Les foules lui demandèrent: « Que devons-nous donc faire? »
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Il leur répondit: « Que celui qui a deux tuniques donne à celui qui n'en a pas. Que celui qui a de quoi manger fasse de même. »
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Des collecteurs d'impôts vinrent aussi pour être baptisés, et ils lui dirent: « Maître, que devons-nous faire? »
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Il leur dit: « Ne recueillez pas plus que ce qui vous est assigné. »
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Les soldats l'interrogeaient aussi, disant: « Et nous? Que devons-nous faire? » Il leur dit: « N'extorquez personne par la violence, et n'accusez personne à tort. Contentez-vous de votre salaire. »
And the soldiers likewise demanded of 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 wages.
15 Comme le peuple était dans l'expectative, et que tous raisonnaient dans leur cœur au sujet de Jean, pour savoir s'il était le Christ,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 Jean leur répondit à tous: « Moi, je vous baptise d'eau, mais il vient, plus puissant que moi, celui dont je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie des sandales. Il vous baptisera dans l'Esprit Saint et dans le feu.
John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 Son van est dans sa main; il nettoiera son aire et amassera le blé dans son grenier, mais il brûlera l'ivraie dans un feu inextinguible. »
Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Puis, avec beaucoup d'autres exhortations, il annonçait la bonne nouvelle au peuple.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Mais Hérode le tétrarque, ayant été repris par lui à cause d'Hérodias, femme de son frère, et de toutes les mauvaises actions qu'il avait commises,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 ajouta à toutes ces choses qu'il enferma Jean en prison.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Or, lorsque tout le peuple fut baptisé, Jésus aussi avait été baptisé et il priait. Le ciel s'ouvrit,
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 et le Saint-Esprit descendit sur lui sous une forme corporelle, comme une colombe; et une voix sortit du ciel, disant: « Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé. En toi j'ai mis toute mon affection. »
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
