Lucam 3
1 Anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Cæsaris, procurante Pontio Pilato Iudæam, tetrarcha autem Galiææ Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Iturææ, et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinæ tetrarcha,
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 sub principibus sacerdotum Anna, et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zachariæ filium, in deserto.
in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis, prædicans baptismum pœnitentiæ in remissionem peccatorum,
And he came into all the region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
4 sicut scriptum est in libro sermonum Isaiæ prophetæ: Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini: rectas facite semitas eius:
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 omnis vallis implebitur: et omnis mons, et collis humiliabitur: et erunt prava in directa: et aspera in vias planas:
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 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Dicebat ergo ad turbas quæ exibant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: Genimina viperarum! Quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?
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 Facite ergo fructus dignos pœnitentiæ: et ne cœperitis dicere: Patrem habemus Abraham. Dico enim vobis quia potens est Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahæ.
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 Iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
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 Et interrogabant eum turbæ, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus?
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat.
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 Venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: Magister, quid faciemus?
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?
13 At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis.
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Interrogabant autem eum et milites, dicentes: Quid faciemus et nos? Et ait illis: Neminem concutiatis, neque calumniam faciatis: et contenti estote stipendiis vestris.
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 Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus:
And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
16 respondit Ioannes, dicens omnibus: Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos: veniet autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corigiam calceamentorum eius: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu Sancto, et igni:
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 cuius ventilabrum in manu eius, et purgabit aream suam, et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igni inextinguibili.
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 Multa quidem, et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo.
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
19 Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui, et de omnibus malis, quæ fecit Herodes,
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 adiecit et hoc super omnia, et inclusit Ioannem in carcere.
added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato, et orante, apertum est cælum:
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 et descendit Spiritus Sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum: et vox de cælo facta est: Tu es filius meus dilectus, in te complacui mihi.
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.
