ルカの福音書 3
1 さて，ティベリウス・カエサルの治世の第十五年，ポンティウス・ピラトがユダヤの総督，ヘロデがガリラヤの領主，その兄弟フィリポがイトゥリアとトラコニティスの領主，リュサニアスがアビレネの領主，
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
2 アンナスとカイアファスが大祭司であったころ，神の言葉が荒野でザカリアの子ヨハネに臨んだ。
Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3 彼はヨルダン周辺の全地方に行って，罪の許しのための悔い改めのバプテスマを宣教していた。
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
4 預言者イザヤの言葉の書の中にこう書かれているとおりである。 「荒野で叫ぶ者の声がする，『主の道を整えよ。その道筋をまっすぐにせよ。
As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
5 すべての谷間は埋められるだろう。すべての山と丘とは低くされるだろう。曲がったところはまっすぐにされ，でこぼこの道は平らにされるだろう。
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 plain;
6 すべての肉なる者は神の救いを見るだろう』」。
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 そこで彼は，彼からバプテスマを受けようとして出て来た群衆に言った， 「マムシらの子孫よ，来ようとしている憤りから逃れるようにと，だれがあなた方に告げたのか。
He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 それなら，悔い改めにふさわしい実を生み出しなさい。『我々の父にアブラハムがいる』などと自分の内で言い始めてはいけない。あなた方に告げるが，神はこれらの石からでもアブラハムに子孫を起こすことができるのだ。
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 おのはすでに木々の根もとに置かれている。だから，良い実を生み出さない木はみな切り倒されて，火の中に投げ込まれるのだ」。
For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
10 群衆は彼に尋ねた，「わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」。
And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 彼は彼らに答えた，「二枚の上着を持っている者は，持っていない者に与えなさい。食物を持っている者も，同じようにしなさい」。
And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
12 徴税人たちもバプテスマを受けに来て，彼に言った，「先生，わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」。
And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 彼は彼らに言った，「自分に定められたより多くを取り立ててはいけない」。
But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
14 兵士たちも彼に尋ねて言った，「わたしたちについてはどうですか。わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」。 彼は彼らに言った，「人から乱暴にゆすり取ったり，不当に非難したりしてはいけない。自分の給料で満足しなさい」。
And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
15 民は待ち望んでおり，すべての者がヨハネについて，彼がキリストなのではないかと心の中で論じていたので，
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
16 ヨハネは皆に答えた，「わたしは確かに，あなた方に水でバプテスマを施しているが，わたしより強力な方が来られる。わたしはその方のサンダルの締めひもをほどくにも値しない。その方は，あなた方に聖霊と火でバプテスマを施すだろう。
John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
17 あおり分けるものがその手にあり，その脱穀場をすっかりきれいにし，小麦をその倉に集め，もみ殻のほうは消すことのできない火で焼き尽くすだろう」。
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 こうして，他にも多くのことを勧めながら，民に良いたよりを宣教した。
And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 ところが，領主ヘロデは，自分の兄弟の妻ヘロディアに関して，またヘロデが行なったすべての悪いことに関して彼に戒められたので，
But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
20 それらのすべての行為に加えて，ヨハネをろうやに閉じ込めた。
He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 民が皆バプテスマを受けている時のこと，イエスもバプテスマを受け，祈っていた。天が開いて，
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
22 聖霊がハトのような姿で彼の上に下って来た。そして，天から出て来た声が言った，「あなたはわたしの愛する子，わたしの心にかなう者である」。
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
