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 Yehuda, and Herod being tetrarch of Galila, and his brother Philipus tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachona, and Lusania tetrarch of Avilina,
2 sub principibus sacerdotum Anna, et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zachariæ filium, in deserto.
in the high priesthood of Khanan and Qayapha, the word of God came to Yukhanan, the son of Zekharya, in the wilderness.
3 Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis, prædicans baptismum pœnitentiæ in remissionem peccatorum,
He came into all the region around the Yurdinan, preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness 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 scroll of the words of Eshaya the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
5 omnis vallis implebitur: et omnis mons, et collis humiliabitur: et erunt prava in directa: et aspera in vias planas:
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.
And all humanity will 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 crowds who went out to be baptized by him, "You 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 do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Avraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Avraham from these stones.
9 Iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
10 Et interrogabant eum turbæ, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus?
The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
11 Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat.
He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."
12 Venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: Magister, quid faciemus?
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
13 At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis.
He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to 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.
Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
15 Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus:
As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning Yukhanan, whether perhaps he was the Meshikha,
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:
Yukhanan answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Rukha d'Qudsha 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 winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
18 Multa quidem, et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to 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 Herodia, 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 this also to them all, that he shut up Yukhanan in prison.
21 Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato, et orante, apertum est cælum:
Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Yeshua also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky 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 Rukha d'Qudsha descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
23 Et ipse Iesus erat incipiens quasi annorum triginta, ut putabatur, filius Ioseph, qui fuit Heli, qui fuit Mathat,
When he began, Yeshua was about thirty years old, being the son, as was supposed, of Yauseph, of Heli,
