Luke 3
1 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,
| و در سال پانزدهم از سلطنت طیباریوس قیصر، در وقتی که پنطیوس پیلاطس، والی یهودیه بود و هیرودیس، تیترارک جلیل وبرادرش فیلپس تیترارک ایطوریه تراخونیتس ولیسانیوس تیترارک آبلیه | ۱ |
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
| و حنا و قیافا روسای کهنه بودند، کلام خدا به یحیی ابن زکریا در بیابان نازل شده، | ۲ |
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
| به تمامی حوالی اردن آمده، به تعمیدتوبه بجهت آمرزش گناهان موعظه می‌کرد. | ۳ |
4 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.
| چنانچه مکتوب است در صحیفه کلمات اشعیای نبی که می‌گوید: «صدای ندا کننده‌ای دربیابان که راه خداوند را مهیا سازید و طرق او راراست نمایید. | ۴ |
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;
| هر وادی انباشته و هر کوه و تلی پست و هر کجی راست و هر راه ناهموار صاف خواهد شد | ۵ |
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
| و تمامی بشر نجات خدا را خواهنددید.» | ۶ |
7 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?
| آنگاه به آن جماعتی که برای تعمید وی بیرون می‌آمدند، گفت: «ای افعی‌زادگان، که شمارا نشان داد که از غضب آینده بگریزید؟ | ۷ |
8 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.
| پس ثمرات مناسب توبه بیاورید و در خاطر خود این سخن را راه مدهید که ابراهیم پدر ماست، زیرا به شما می‌گویم خدا قادر است که از این سنگها، فرزندان برای ابراهیم برانگیزاند. | ۸ |
9 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.
| و الان نیز تیشه بر ریشه درختان نهاده شده است، پس هر درختی که میوه نیکو نیاورد، بریده و در آتش افکنده می‌شود.» | ۹ |
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
| پس مردم از وی سوال نموده گفتند: «چه کنیم؟» | ۱۰ |
11 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.
| او در جواب ایشان گفت: «هرکه دوجامه دارد، به آنکه ندارد بدهد. و هرکه خوراک دارد نیز چنین کند.» | ۱۱ |
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
| و باجگیران نیز برای تعمید آمده، بدو گفتند: «ای استاد چه کنیم؟» | ۱۲ |
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
| بدیشان گفت: «زیادتر از آنچه مقرر است، مگیرید.» | ۱۳ |
14 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.
| سپاهیان نیز از او پرسیده، گفتند: «ماچه کنیم؟» به ایشان گفت: «بر کسی ظلم مکنید وبر هیچ‌کس افترا مزنید و به مواجب خود اکتفاکنید.» | ۱۴ |
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
| و هنگامی که قوم مترصد می‌بودند و همه در خاطر خود درباره یحیی تفکر می‌نمودندکه این مسیح است یا نه، | ۱۵ |
16 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:
| یحیی به همه متوجه شده گفت: «من شما را به آب تعمیدمی دهم، لیکن شخصی تواناتر از من می‌آید که لیاقت آن ندارم که بند نعلین او را باز کنم. اوشما را به روح‌القدس و آتش تعمید خواهد داد. | ۱۶ |
17 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.
| او غربال خود را به‌دست خود دارد وخرمن خویش را پاک کرده، گندم را در انبارخود ذخیره خواهد نمود و کاه را در آتشی که خاموشی نمی پذیرد خواهد سوزانید.» | ۱۷ |
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
| وبه نصایح بسیار دیگر، قوم را بشارت می‌داد. | ۱۸ |
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
| اما هیرودیس تیترارک چون به‌سبب هیرودیا، زن برادر او فیلپس و سایر بدیهایی که هیرودیس کرده بود از وی توبیخ یافت، | ۱۹ |
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
| این رانیز بر همه افزود که یحیی را در زندان حبس نمود. | ۲۰ |
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
| اما چون تمامی قوم تعمید یافته بودند وعیسی هم تعمید گرفته دعا می‌کرد، آسمان شکافته شد | ۲۱ |
22 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.
| و روح‌القدس به هیات جسمانی، مانند کبوتری بر او نازل شد. و آوازی از آسمان در‌رسید که تو پسر حبیب من هستی که به توخشنودم. | ۲۲ |
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was [the son] of Heli,
