< 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，

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias, 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。

during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the Desert.

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 Johnwent into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for 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 prophet Isaiah. The voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare the way for God, make straight paths for him.

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 up, Every hill and mountain shall be laid low, The crooked shall be made straight, And the rough roads 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?

So Johnused to say to the crowd of those who were going out to be baptized by him. "You breed of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

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。

Then bring forth fruit befitting your penitence, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father." I tell you that God is able to raise up sons to Abraham out of these stones.

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 truly the axe is already laid at the root of the trees. So every tree which is not bearing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

10 群眾向他說：「那麼，失們該作什麼呢?

And the crowd began to ask him questions. "What shall we do then?" they asked. In reply he said to them.

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。」

"If you have two shirts share with him who has none; and let him who has food do the same."

12 稅吏也來受洗，並問說：「師傅，我們該作什麼呢? 」

There came to him publicans also to be baptized, and they said to him, "Master, what must 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 the sum allowed 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! 」

The soldiers also repeatedly questioned him, saying, "And we, what shall we do?" "Do not intimidate any one," he replied, "nor lay false charges, 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。

And while the people were in expectation, and all men were debating in their hearts about John,

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。

whether perhaps he were the Christ, Johnanswered, saying to all of them. "I indeed am baptizing you in water, but One is coming after me, mightier than I, whose shoe-latchet I am not worthy to unloose. He shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost 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。」

He has his fan in his hand to cleanse his threshing-floor thoroughly, and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff will he 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 then Johndeclared the gospel 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, when reproved by him because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the wicked deeds that he had done,

20 又在一切的惡事上加了這一件：即把若翰囚在監中。

added yet this above them all that he shut up Johnin prison.

21 眾百姓受洗後，耶穌也受了洗；當祂祈禱時，天開了；

Now after all the people had been baptized, and Jesus himself had been baptized and was praying,

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。」

heaven opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form like a dove, descended upon him. and a voice came out of heaven, saying. "Thou art my Son, dearly beloved; in thee is my 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 himself when he began to teach was about thirty years of age. He was the son (as it was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,
