Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,
anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Caesaris procurante Pontio Pilato Iudaeam tetrarcha autem Galilaeae Herode Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Itureae et Trachonitidis regionis et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha
2 When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.
sub principibus sacerdotum Anna et Caiapha factum est verbum Dei super Iohannem Zacchariae filium in deserto
3 And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.
et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis praedicans baptismum paenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum
4 As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.
sicut scriptum est in libro sermonum Esaiae prophetae vox clamantis in deserto parate viam Domini rectas facite semitas eius
5 Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
omnis vallis implebitur et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur et erunt prava in directa et aspera in vias planas
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei
7 So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?
dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exiebant ut baptizarentur ab ipso genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira
8 Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.
facite ergo fructus dignos paenitentiae et ne coeperitis dicere patrem habemus Abraham dico enim vobis quia potest Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahae
9 And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.
iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum exciditur et in ignem mittitur
10 And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do?
et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes quid ergo faciemus
11 And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same.
respondens autem dicebat illis qui habet duas tunicas det non habenti et qui habet escas similiter faciat
12 Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do?
venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur et dixerunt ad illum magister quid faciemus
13 And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount.
at ille dixit ad eos nihil amplius quam quod constitutum est vobis faciatis
14 And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.
interrogabant autem eum et milites dicentes quid faciemus et nos et ait illis neminem concutiatis neque calumniam faciatis et contenti estote stipendiis vestris
15 And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,
existimante autem populo et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Iohanne ne forte ipse esset Christus
16 John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
respondit Iohannes dicens omnibus ego quidem aqua baptizo vos venit autem fortior me cuius non sum dignus solvere corrigiam calciamentorum eius ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu Sancto et igni
17 In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out.
cuius ventilabrum in manu eius et purgabit aream suam et congregabit triticum in horreum suum paleas autem conburet igni inextinguibili
18 And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people;
multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum
19 But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,
Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui et de omnibus malis quae fecit Herodes
20 Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.
adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Iohannem in carcere
21 Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,
factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus et Iesu baptizato et orante apertum est caelum
22 The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
et descendit Spiritus Sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum et vox de caelo facta est tu es Filius meus dilectus in te conplacuit mihi
