Lucam 3
1 Anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Caesaris, procurante Pontio Pilato Iudaeam, tetrarcha autem Galiaeae Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Ituraeae, et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha,
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
2 sub principibus sacerdotum Anna, et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zachariae filium, in deserto.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3 Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis, praedicans baptismum poenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum,
He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
4 sicut scriptum est in Libro sermonum Isaiae prophetae: Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini: rectas facite semitas eius:
as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare 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 will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked roads will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made smooth.
6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
7 Dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exibant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: Genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?
John said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Facite ergo fructus dignos poenitentiae, et ne coeperitis dicere: Patrem habemus Abraham. Dico enim vobis quia potens est Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahae.
Produce fruit consistent with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
9 Iam enim securis ad radicem arboris posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
Even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Et interrogabant eum turbae, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus?
So the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
11 Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat.
John answered them, “Whoever has two tunics must share with him who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”
12 Venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: Magister, quid faciemus?
Some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis.
He said to them, “Collect no more than what you have been authorized to collect.”
14 Interrogabant autem eum et milites, dicentes: Quid faciemus et nos? Et ait illis: Neminem concutiatis, neque calumniam faciatis: sed contenti estote stipendiis vestris.
Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusations, and be content with your wages.”
15 Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus:
Now as the people were waiting in expectation and were all questioning in their hearts whether John might be the Christ,
16 respondit Ioannes, dicens omnibus: Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos: veniet autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corigiam calceamentorum: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu sancto, et igne:
John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one is coming who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 cuius ventilabrum in manu eius, et purgabit aream suam, et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igne inextinguibili.
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
18 Multa quidem, et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo.
With these and many other exhortations John preached good news to the people.
19 Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui, et de omnibus malis, quae fecit Herodes,
But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evils that he had done,
20 adiecit et hoc super omnia, et inclusit Ioannem in carcere.
Herod added this to everything else: He locked up John in prison.
21 Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato, et orante, apertum est caelum:
Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus had also been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,
22 et descendit Spiritus sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum: et vox de caelo facta est: Tu es filius meus dilectus, in te complacui mihi.
and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “Yoʋ are my beloved Son; in yoʋ I am well pleased.”
