Κατα Λουκαν 3
1 Εν δε τω δεκάτω πέμπτω έτει της ηγεμονίας Τιβερίου Καίσαρος, ότε ο Πόντιος Πιλάτος ηγεμόνευε της Ιουδαίας, και τετράρχης της Γαλιλαίας ήτο ο Ηρώδης, Φίλιππος δε ο αδελφός αυτού τετράρχης της Ιτουραίας και της Τραχωνίτιδος χώρας, και ο Λυσανίας τετράρχης της Αβιληνής,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 επί αρχιερέων Άννα και Καϊάφα, έγεινε λόγος Θεού προς Ιωάννην, τον υιόν του Ζαχαρίου, εν τη ερήμω,
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 και ήλθεν εις πάσαν την περίχωρον του Ιορδάνου, κηρύττων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εις άφεσιν αμαρτιών,
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
4 ως είναι γεγραμμένον εν τω βιβλίω των λόγων Ησαΐου του προφήτου, λέγοντος· Φωνή βοώντος εν τη ερήμω, ετοιμάσατε την οδόν του Κυρίου, ευθείας κάμετε τας τρίβους αυτού.
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 πάσα φάραγξ θέλει γεμισθή και παν όρος και βουνός θέλει ταπεινωθή, και τα σκολιά θέλουσι γείνει ευθέα και αι τραχείαι οδοί ομαλαί,
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 και πάσα σαρξ θέλει ιδεί το σωτήριον του Θεού.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Έλεγε δε προς τους όχλους τους εξερχομένους διά να βαπτισθώσιν υπ' αυτού· Γεννήματα εχιδνών, τις έδειξεν εις εσάς να φύγητε από της μελλούσης οργής;
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Κάμετε λοιπόν καρπούς αξίους της μετανοίας, και μη αρχίσητε να λέγητε καθ' εαυτούς, Πατέρα έχομεν τον Αβραάμ· διότι σας λέγω ότι δύναται ο Θεός εκ των λίθων τούτων να αναστήση τέκνα εις τον Αβραάμ.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Ήδη δε και η αξίνη κείται προς την ρίζαν των δένδρων· παν λοιπόν δένδρον μη κάμνον καρπόν καλόν εκκόπτεται και εις πυρ βάλλεται.
And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Και ηρώτων αυτόν οι όχλοι, λέγοντες· Τι λοιπόν θέλομεν κάμει;
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Αποκριθείς δε λέγει προς αυτούς. Ο έχων δύο χιτώνας ας μεταδώση εις τον μη έχοντα, και ο έχων τροφάς ας κάμη ομοίως.
He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.
12 Ήλθον δε και τελώναι διά να βαπτισθώσι, και είπον προς αυτόν· Διδάσκαλε, τι θέλομεν κάμει;
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς· Μη εισπράττετε μηδέν περισσότερον παρά το διατεταγμένον εις εσάς.
And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Ηρώτων δε αυτόν και στρατιωτικοί, λέγοντες· Και ημείς τι θέλομεν κάμει; Και είπε προς αυτούς· Μη βιάσητε μηδένα μηδέ συκοφαντήσητε, και αρκείσθε εις τα σιτηρέσιά σας.
And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely, and be content with your wages.
15 Ενώ δε επρόσμενεν ο λαός, και διελογίζοντο πάντες εν ταις καρδίαις αυτών περί του Ιωάννου, μήποτε αυτός είναι ο Χριστός,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
16 απεκρίθη ο Ιωάννης προς πάντας, λέγων· Εγώ μεν σας βαπτίζω εν ύδατι· έρχεται όμως ο ισχυρότερός μου, του οποίου δεν είμαι άξιος να λύσω το λωρίον των υποδημάτων αυτού· αυτός θέλει σας βαπτίσει εν Πνεύματι Αγίω και πυρί.
John answered, saying to [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 will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
17 Του οποίου το πτυάριον είναι εν τη χειρί αυτού και θέλει διακαθαρίσει το αλώνιον αυτού, και θέλει συνάξει τον σίτον εις την αποθήκην αυτού, το δε άχυρον θέλει κατακαύσει εν πυρί ασβέστω.
Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Και άλλα πολλά προτρέπων ευηγγελίζετο τον λαόν.
And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
19 Ο δε Ηρώδης ο τετράρχης, ελεγχόμενος υπ' αυτού περί της Ηρωδιάδος, της γυναικός Φιλίππου του αδελφού αυτού, και περί πάντων των κακών όσα έπραξεν ο Ηρώδης,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 προσέθεσε και τούτο επί πάσι και κατέκλεισε τον Ιωάννην εν τη φυλακή.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Αφού δε εβαπτίσθη πας ο λαός, βαπτισθέντος και του Ιησού και προσευχομένου, ηνοίχθη ο ουρανός
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 και κατέβη το Πνεύμα το Άγιον εν σωματική μορφή ως περιστερά επ' αυτόν, και έγεινε φωνή εκ του ουρανού, λέγουσα· Συ είσαι ο Υιός μου ο αγαπητός, εις σε ευηρεστήθην.
And the Holy Spirit 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.
23 Και αυτός ο Ιησούς ήρχιζε να ήναι ως τριάκοντα ετών, ων καθώς ενομίζετο, υιός Ιωσήφ, του Ηλί,
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was [the son] of Heli,
