Evangelium secundum Lucam, 3
1. Anno autem quinto decimo im perii Tiberii Caesaris, procu rante Pontio Pilato Iudaeam, tetrarcha autem Galilaeae Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Ituraeae et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha,
1. In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiber'i-us Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturae'a and Trachoni'tis, and Lysa'ni-as tetrarch of Abile'ne,
2. sub principe sacerdotum Anna et Caipha, factum est verbum Dei super Ioannem Zachariae filium in deserto.
2. in the high-priesthood of Annas and Ca'iaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechari'ah in the wilderness;
3. Et venit in omnem regionem circa Iordanem praedicans baptismum paenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum,
3. and he went into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4. sicut scriptum est in libro sermonum Isaiae prophetae: “Vox clamantis in deserto: “Parate viam Domini, rectas facite semitas eius.
4. As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying 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:
5. 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. et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei”.
6. and all flesh shall 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?
7. He said therefore to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8. Facite ergo fructus dignos paenitentiae et ne coeperitis dicere in vobis ipsis: “Patrem habemus Abraham”; dico enim vobis quia potest Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare Abrahae filios.
8. Bear fruits that befit repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our father'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9. Iam enim et securis ad radicem arborum posita est; omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum exciditur et in ignem mittitur”.
9. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
10. Et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes: “Quid ergo faciemus?”.
10. And the multitudes asked him, "What then shall we do?"
11. Respondens autem dicebat illis: “Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti; et, qui habet escas, similiter faciat”.
11. And he answered them, "He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."
12. Venerunt autem et publicani, ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: “Magister, quid faciemus?”.
12. Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"
13. At ille dixit ad eos: “Nihil amplius quam constitutum est vobis, faciatis”.
13. And he said to them, "Collect no more than is appointed 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”.
14. Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Rob no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your wages."
15. Existimante autem populo et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus,
15. As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ,
16. respondit Ioannes dicens omnibus: “Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos. Venit autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corrigiam calceamentorum eius: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu Sancto et igni;
16. John answered them all, "I baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17. cuius ventilabrum in manu eius ad purgandam aream suam et ad congregandum triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igni inexstinguibili”.
17. His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."
18. Multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum.
18. So, 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, quae fecit Herodes,
19. But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Hero'di-as, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done,
20. adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Ioannem in carcere.
20. added this to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21. Factum est autem, cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato et orante, apertum est caelum,
21. Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened,
22. et descendit Spiritus Sanctus corporali specie sicut columba super ipsum; et vox de caelo facta est: “Tu es Filius meus dilectus; in te complacui mihi”.
22. and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."
