От Луки 3
1 В пятнадцатый же год правления Тиверия кесаря, когда Понтий Пилат начальствовал в Иудее, Ирод был четвертовластником в Галилее, Филипп, брат его, четвертовластником в Итурее и Трахонитской области, а Лисаний четвертовластником в Авилинее,
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 при первосвященниках Анне и Каиафе, был глагол Божий к Иоанну, сыну Захарии, в пустыне.
Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3 И он проходил по всей окрестной стране Иорданской, проповедуя крещение покаяния для прощения грехов,
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
4 как написано в книге слов пророка Исаии, который говорит: глас вопиющего в пустыне: приготовьте путь Господу, прямыми сделайте стези Ему;
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 всякий дол да наполнится, и всякая гора и холм да понизятся, кривизны выпрямятся и неровные пути сделаются гладкими;
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 и узрит всякая плоть спасение Божие.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Иоанн приходившему креститься от него народу говорил: порождения ехиднины! кто внушил вам бежать от будущего гнева?
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 Сотворите же достойные плоды покаяния и не думайте говорить в себе: отец у нас Авраам, ибо говорю вам, что Бог может из камней сих воздвигнуть детей Аврааму.
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 Уже и секира при корне дерев лежит: всякое дерево, не приносящее доброго плода, срубают и бросают в огонь.
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 И спрашивал его народ: что же нам делать?
And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 Он сказал им в ответ: у кого две одежды, тот дай неимущему, и у кого есть пища, делай то же.
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 Пришли и мытари креститься, и сказали ему: учитель! что нам делать?
And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 Он отвечал им: ничего не требуйте более определенного вам.
But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
14 Спрашивали его также и воины: а нам что делать? И сказал им: никого не обижайте, не клевещите, и довольствуйтесь своим жалованьем.
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 Когда же народ был в ожидании, и все помышляли в сердцах своих об Иоанне, не Христос ли он,
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
16 Иоанн всем отвечал: я крещу вас водою, но идет Сильнейший меня, у Которого я недостоин развязать ремень обуви; Он будет крестить вас Духом Святым и огнем.
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 Лопата Его в руке Его, и Он очистит гумно Свое и соберет пшеницу в житницу Свою, а солому сожжет огнем неугасимым.
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 Многое и другое благовествовал он народу, поучая его.
And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 Ирод же четвертовластник, обличаемый от него за Иродиаду, жену брата своего, и за все, что сделал Ирод худого,
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 прибавил ко всему прочему и то, что заключил Иоанна в темницу.
He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 Когда же крестился весь народ, и Иисус, крестившись, молился: отверзлось небо,
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
22 и Дух Святый нисшел на Него в телесном виде, как голубь, и был глас с небес, глаголющий: Ты Сын Мой Возлюбленный; в Тебе Мое благоволение!
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.
