< 路加福音 3 >

1 凱撒提庇留執政第十五年，般雀比拉多作猶太總督，黑落德作分封侯，他的兄弟斐理伯作依突勒雅和特辣曷地方的分封侯，呂撒尼雅作阿彼肋乃分封侯，

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

2 亞納斯和蓋作大司祭時，在荒野中有天主的話，傳給匝加利亞的兒子若翰。

Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.

3 他遂來走遍約旦河一帶地方，宣講悔改的洗禮，為得罪之赦。

And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins;

4 正如依撒意亞先知預言書上記載的：『在荒野中有呼號者的聲音：你們當預備上主的道路，修直祂的途徑! 』

as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight;

5 一切深谷要填滿，一切山丘岳邱陵要剷平，彎曲的要修直，崎嶇的要開成炟途!

every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made level; and the crooked ways shall be made straight; and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

6 凡有血肉的，都要看見天主的救援。』

and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

7 於是，他對那些前來要受他洗禮的群眾說：「毒蛇的種類! 誰指教你們逃避那就要來的忿怒?

Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

8 那麼，結與悔改相稱的果實吧! 你們心裡不要以為：我們有亞巴郎為父。我給你們說：天主能從這些石頭中給亞巴郎興起子孫來。

Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

9 斧子已放到樹根上了；凡不結好果子的樹，必被砍倒，投入火中。」

And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.

10 群眾向他說：「那麼，失們該作什麼呢?

And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do?

11 他答覆他們說：「有兩件內衣的，要分給那沒有的；有食物的，也應照樣做。」

He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.

12 稅吏也來受洗，並問說：「師傅，我們該作什麼呢? 」

And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?

13 他向他門說：「除給你們規定的外，不要多徵收! 」

And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

14 軍人也問說：「我們該作什麼呢? 」他向他門說：「不要勒索人，不要敲詐；對你的糧餉應該知足! 」

And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay.

15 那時，百姓都在期待(默西亞)，為此人人心中推想：也許若翰就是默西亞。

While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,

16 若翰便向眾人說道：「我固然以水洗你們，但是比我強的一位要來，就是解祂的鞋帶，我也不配。祂要以聖神和火洗你們。

John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

17 木欣已放在祂手中，祂要揚淨自己的禾場，把麥粒收在倉內；至於糠秕，卻要用不滅的火焚燒。」

His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

18 他還講了許多別的勸言，給百姓傳報喜訊。

With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people.

19 分封侯黑落德卻為了自已兄弟的妻子黑落狄雅，並為了本人所作的一切惡事，受了若翰的指謫，

But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did,

20 又在一切的惡事上加了這一件：即把若翰囚在監中。

added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

21 眾百姓受洗後，耶穌也受了洗；當祂祈禱時，天開了；

And it came to pass, while all the people were being immersed, that Jesus also was immersed; and as he was praying, the heaven was opened,

22 聖神藉著一個形像，如同鴿子，降祂上面；並有聲音從天上說：「你是我的愛子，我因你喜悅。」

and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in a bodily form, like a dove; and there came a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I delight.

23 耶穌開始傳教hapi 時候，大約三十歲，人都以祂為若瑟的兒子：若瑟是赫里的兒子，赫是瑪塔特的兒子，

And Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his ministry, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, son of Heli,
