< Luc 3 >

1 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,
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,
2 sous la souveraine sacrificature d’Anne et de Caïphe, la parole de Dieu vint à Jean, le fils de Zacharie, au désert.
vndir the princis of prestis Annas and Caifas, the word of the Lord was maad on Joon, the sone of Zacarie, in desert.
3 Et il alla dans tout le pays des environs du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de repentance en rémission de péchés;
And he cam in to al the cuntre of Jordan, and prechide baptym of penaunce in to remyssioun of synnes.
4 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.
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.
5 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;
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;
6 et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu ».
and euery fleisch schal se the heelthe of God.
7 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?
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?
8 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.
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.
9 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.
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.
10 Et les foules l’interrogèrent, disant: Que faut-il donc que nous fassions?
And the puple axide hym, and seiden, What thanne schulen we do?
11 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.
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.
12 Et des publicains vinrent aussi pour être baptisés; et ils lui dirent: Maître, que faut-il que nous fassions?
And pupplicans camen to be baptisid; and thei seiden to hym, Maister, what schulen we do?
13 Et il leur dit: Ne percevez rien au-delà de ce qui vous est ordonné.
And he seide to hem, Do ye no thing more, than that that is ordeyned to you.
14 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.
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.
15 – 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,
Whanne al the puple gesside, and alle men thouyten in her hertis of Joon, lest perauenture he were Crist,
16 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.
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.
17 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.
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.
18 Et faisant aussi plusieurs autres exhortations, il évangélisait donc le peuple;
And many othere thingis also he spak, and prechide to the puple. But Eroude tetrark, whanne he was blamed of Joon for Erodias,
19 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,
the wijf of his brother, and for alle the yuelis that Eroude dide,
20 ajouta encore à toutes les autres celle de mettre Jean en prison.
encreside this ouer alle, and schitte Joon in prisoun.
21 Et il arriva que, comme tout le peuple était baptisé, Jésus aussi étant baptisé et priant, le ciel s’ouvrit;
And it was don, whanne al the puple was baptised, and whanne Jhesu was baptised, and preiede, heuene was openyd.
22 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.
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.
23 Et Jésus lui-même commençait d’avoir environ 30 ans, étant, comme on l’estimait, fils de Joseph: d’Héli,
