Luc 3
1 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 du pays de la Trachonite, et Lysanias, tétrarque de l'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 au temps des grands prêtres Anne et Caïphe, la parole du Seigneur se fit entendre 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 Et il vint dans toute la contrée du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de pénitence 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 ainsi qu'il est écrit au livre des oracles du prophète Isaïe: " Une voix a retenti au désert: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, aplanissez ses sentiers.
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 comblée, toute montagne et toute colline seront abaissées; les chemins tortueux deviendront droits, et les raboteux unis.
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 Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu. "
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Il disait à ceux qui accouraient en foule, pour être baptisés par lui: " Race de vipères, qui vous a appris à fuir la colère qui vient?
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 Faites donc de dignes fruits de repentir, et n'essayez pas de dire en vous-mêmes: Abraham est notre père; car je vous dis que de ces pierres mêmes Dieu peut susciter des enfants à Abraham.
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 Déjà la cognée est à la racine des arbres. Tout arbre donc qui ne porte pas de bon fruit sera 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 Et le peuple lui demanda: " Que faut-il donc faire? "
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Il leur répondit: " Que celui qui a deux tuniques en donne une à qui n'en a point, et 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 Il vint aussi des publicains 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: " N'exigez rien au delà de ce qui vous est ordonné. "
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Des gens de guerre l'interrogèrent aussi, disant: " Et nous, que devons-nous faire? " Il leur répondit: " Abstenez-vous de toute violence et de toute fraude, et contentez-vous de votre solde. "
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'attente, et que tous se demandaient dans leurs cœurs, à l'égard de Jean, s'il ne serait pas 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 dit à tous: " Moi, je vous baptise dans l'eau; mais il vient, celui qui est plus puissant que moi, et dont je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie de la chaussure; lui, il vous baptisera dans l'Esprit-Saint et 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 Sa main tient le van, et il nettoiera son aire, et il amassera le froment dans son grenier, et il brûlera la paille dans un feu qui ne s'éteint point. "
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 Par ces exhortations, et beaucoup d'autres semblables, il annonçait donc au peuple la bonne nouvelle.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Mais Hérode le tétrarque, étant repris par lui au sujet d'Hérodiade, femme de son frère, et de tout le mal qu'il avait fait,
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 il ajouta ce crime à tous les autres, et enferma Jean en prison.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Or, dans le temps que tout le peuple venait de recevoir le baptême, Jésus fut aussi baptisé, et pendant qu'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 l'Esprit-Saint descendit sur lui sous une forme corporelle, comme une colombe, et du ciel une voix se fit entendre, disant: " Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé; en toi j'ai mes complaisances. "
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.
