Від Луки 3
1 У пятнайцятий же рік правлення Тиверия кесаря, як був ігемоном Понтийський Пилат в Юдеї, а четверовластником у Галилеї Ірод, Филип же, брат його, четверовластником в Ітуреї і Трахонській землї, а Лисаний четверовластником в Авилинї,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 за архиєреїв Анни та Каяфи, стало ся слово Боже до Йоана, Захаріїного сина, у пустинї.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 І ходив він по всій околицї Йорданській, проповідуючи хрещеннє покаяння на прощеннє гріхів,
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 як писано в книзї словес Ісаїї пророка, глаголючого: Голос покликуючого в пустині: Приготовте дорогу Господню, правими робіть стежки Його.
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Всяка долина нехай заповнить ся, і всяка гора і горб принизить ся, і крива нехай буде права, й груднисті нехай будуть дорогами рівними;
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 [shall be] made smooth;
6 і побачить усяке тіло спасеннє Боже.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Говорив тодї до людей, що вийшли охреститись від него: Кодло гадюче, хто остеріг вас, щоб утїкали від настигаючого гнїва?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Принесіть же овощ достойний покаяння, і не починайте казати самі собі: В нас отець Авраам; глаголю бо вам: Що зможе Бог з каміння сього підняти дітей Авраамові.
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 Вже ж і сокира коло кореня дерева лежить; тим кожне дерево, що не дає доброго овощу, зрубують та й в огонь кидають.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 І питав його народ, кажучи: Що ж оце робити мем?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Озвав ся ж і каже їм: Хто має дві одежинї, нехай наділить немаючого; й хто має харч, нехай так само робить.
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Прийшли ж і митники хреститись, і промовили до него: Учителю, що нам робити?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Він же каже до них: Нічого більш над те, що звелено вам, не вимагайте.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Питали ж його й воїни, кажучи: А нам що робити? І рече до них: Нїкому не робіть насилля, анї обвинувачуйте криво, і вдовольняйтесь платою вашою.
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 Як же були в непевностї люде, і всі говорили в серці своїм про Йоана, чи не Христос він,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 озвавсь Йоан до всіх, глаголючи: Я водою хрещу вас; ійде ж потужніший від мене, котрому недостоєн я розвязати ременя обувя Його: Той хрестити ме вас Духом сьвятим і огнем;
John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 котрого лопата в руці Його, й перечистить тік свій, і збере пшеницю в клуню свою, а полову спалить огнем невгасаючим.
Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 І багато иншого, навчаючи, благовіствував людям.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Ірод же четверовластник, докорений від него за Іродияду, жінку Филипа, брата свого, і за все, що коїв лихого Ірод,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 додав ще й се до всього, й запер Йоана в темниці.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Стало ж ся, як хрестились усї люде й Ісус хрестив ся та молив ся, відчинилось небо,
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 і злинув Дух сьвятий, у тілесному виді, як голуб, на Него, й голос із неба роздав ся, глаголючи: Ти єси Син мій любий, тебе вподобав я.
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
