Від Луки 3
1 У п'ятнадцятий рік панува́ння Тиве́рія ке́саря, коли По́нтій Пила́т панував над Юдеєю, коли в Галілеї тетра́рхом був І́род, а Пилип, його брат, був тетра́рхом Ітуре́ї й землі Трахоні́тської, за тетра́рха Ліса́нія в Авілі́ні,
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 первосвящеників Анни й Кайя́фи було Боже слово в пустині Іванові, сину Захарія.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 І він перейшов усю землю Йорда́нську, проповідуючи хрищення покая́ння для про́щення гріхів,
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 як написано в книзі пророцтва пророка Ісаї: „Голос того, хто кличе: У пустині готуйте дорогу для Господа, рівняйте стежки́ Йому!
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 Нехай кожна долина напо́вниться, гора ж кожна та при́горок зни́зиться, що нерівне, нехай випросто́вується, а доро́ги вибо́їсті стануть гладе́нькі, —
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 кожна люди́на побачить Боже спасі́ння!“
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 А Іван говорив до людей, хто прихо́див, христитися в ньо́го: Ро́де зміїний, — хто навчив вас тікати від гніву майбу́тнього?
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 Отож, учиніть гідний плід покая́ння. І не починайте казати в собі: „Маємо ба́тька Авраама“. Бо кажу вам, що Бог може підне́сти дітей Авраамові з цьо́го каміння.
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 Бо вже он до корі́ння дере́в і сокира прикла́дена: кожне ж дерево, що доброго пло́ду не родить, буде зрубане та до огню буде вкинене“.
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 А люди питали його й говорили: „Що́ ж нам робити?“
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 І сказав він у відповідь їм: „У кого дві сорочці, — нехай дасть немаючому; а хто має поживу, — нехай робить так само“.
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 І прихо́дили й ми́тники, щоб христитись від нього, і питали його: „Учителю, що́ ми маємо робити?“
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 А він їм казав: „Не стягайте нічого над те, що вам зве́лено“.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Питали ж його й вояки́ й говорили: „А нам що робити?“І він їм відповів: „Ніко́го не кривдьте, ані не оскаржайте фальшиво, удовольня́йтесь платнею своєю“.
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 Коли ж усі люди чекали, і в серцях своїх ду́мали всі про Івана, чи то він не Христос,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 Іван відповідав усім, кажучи: „Я хрищу́ вас водою, але йде ось Поту́жніший за мене, що Йому́ розв'язати ремінця́ від Його взуття́ я негідний, — Він христитиме вас Святим Духом й 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 У руці Своїй має Він ві́ячку, — і перечистить Свій тік: пшеницю збере до засі́ків Своїх, а полову попа́лить ув огні невгаси́мім“.
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 Тож багато навчав він і іншого, звіщаючи Добру Нови́ну народові.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 А Ірод тетра́рх, що Іван докоря́в йому за Іродія́ду, дружи́ну брата свого, і за все зло, яке заподі́яв був 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 до всього додав іще й те, що Івана замкнув до в'язни́ці.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 І сталося, як христились усі люди, і як Ісус, охристившись, молився, розкрилося 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 Дух Святий зли́нув на Нього в тілесному ви́гляді, як голуб, і голос із неба почувся, що мовив: „Ти Син Мій Улю́блений, що Я вподо́бав Тебе!“
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.
