ルカの福音書 3
1 テベリオ・カイザル在位の十 五 年、ポンテオ・ピラトはユダヤの總督、ヘロデはガリラヤ分封の國守、その兄弟ピリポはイツリヤ及びテラコニテの地の分封の國守、ルサニヤはアビレネ分封の國守たり、
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 アンナスとカヤパとは大 祭司たりしとき、神の言、荒野にてザカリヤの子ヨハネに臨む。
in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 かくてヨルダン河の邊なる四方の地にゆき、罪の赦を得さする悔改のバプテスマを宣傳ふ。
And he came into all the region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
4 預言者イザヤの言の書に『荒野に呼はる者の聲す。「主の道を備へ、その路すじを直くせよ。
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
5 諸の谷は埋められ、諸の山と岡とは平げられ、曲りたるは直く、嶮しきは坦かなる路となり、
Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
6 人みな神の救を見ん」』と録されたるが如し。
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 さてヨハネ、バプテスマを受けんとて出できたる群衆にいふ『蝮の裔よ、誰が汝らに、來らんとする御怒を避くべき事を示したるぞ。
He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 さらば悔改に相應しき果を結べ。なんぢら「我らの父にアブラハムあり」と心のうちに言ひ始むな。我なんぢらに告ぐ、神はよく此らの石よりアブラハムの子 等を起し得給ふなり。
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 斧ははや樹の根に置かる。されば凡て善き果を結ばぬ樹は、伐られて火に投げ入れらるべし』
And even now is the axe also laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 群衆ヨハネに問ひて言ふ『さらば我ら何を爲すべきか』
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 答へて言ふ『二つの下衣をもつ者は、有たぬ者に分け與へよ。食物を有つ者もまた然せよ』
And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 取税人もバプテスマを受けんとて來りて言ふ『師よ、我ら何を爲すべきか』
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?
13 答へて言ふ『定りたるものの外、なにをも促るな』
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
14 兵卒もまた問ひて言ふ『我らは何を爲すべきか』答へて言ふ『人を劫かし、また誣ひ訴ふな、己が給料をもて足れりとせよ』
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact [anything] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
15 民、待ち望みゐたれば、みな心の中にヨハネをキリストならんかと論ぜしに、
And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
16 ヨハネ凡ての人に答へて言ふ『我は水にて汝らにバプテスマを施す、されど我よりも能力ある者きたらん、我はその鞋の紐を解くにも足らず。彼は聖 靈と火とにて汝らにバプテスマを施さん。
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and [with] fire:
17 手には箕を持ちたまふ。禾場をきよめ、麥を倉に納めんとてなり。而して殼は消えぬ火にて焚きつくさん』
whose fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 ヨハネこの他なほ、さまざまの勸をなして、民に福音を宣傳ふ。
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
19 然るに國守ヘロデ、その兄弟の妻ヘロデヤの事につき、又その行ひたる凡ての惡しき事につきて、ヨハネに責められたれば、
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 更に復 一つの惡しき事を加へて、ヨハネを獄に閉ぢこめたり。
added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 民みなバプテスマを受けし時、イエスもバプテスマを受けて祈りゐ給へば、天ひらけ、
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 聖 靈、形をなして鴿のごとく其の上に降り、かつ天より聲あり、曰く『なんぢは我が愛しむ子なり、我なんぢを悦ぶ』
and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
