Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
皇帝テベリオ在位の第十五年、ポンテオ・ピラトがユダヤの総督、ヘロデがガリラヤの領主、その兄弟ピリポがイツリヤ・テラコニテ地方の領主、ルサニヤがアビレネの領主、
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
アンナスとカヤパとが大祭司であったとき、神の言が荒野でザカリヤの子ヨハネに臨んだ。
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
彼はヨルダンのほとりの全地方に行って、罪のゆるしを得させる悔改めのバプテスマを宣べ伝えた。
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 straight his paths!
それは、預言者イザヤの言葉の書に書いてあるとおりである。すなわち「荒野で呼ばわる者の声がする、『主の道を備えよ、その道筋をまっすぐにせよ』。
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
すべての谷は埋められ、すべての山と丘とは、平らにされ、曲ったところはまっすぐに、わるい道はならされ、
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
人はみな神の救を見るであろう」。
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
さて、ヨハネは、彼からバプテスマを受けようとして出てきた群衆にむかって言った、「まむしの子らよ、迫ってきている神の怒りから、のがれられると、おまえたちにだれが教えたのか。
8 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 out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
だから、悔改めにふさわしい実を結べ。自分たちの父にはアブラハムがあるなどと、心の中で思ってもみるな。おまえたちに言っておく。神はこれらの石ころからでも、アブラハムの子を起すことができるのだ。
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
斧がすでに木の根もとに置かれている。だから、良い実を結ばない木はことごとく切られて、火の中に投げ込まれるのだ」。
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
そこで群衆が彼に、「それでは、わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」と尋ねた。
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
彼は答えて言った、「下着を二枚もっている者は、持たない者に分けてやりなさい。食物を持っている者も同様にしなさい」。
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
取税人もバプテスマを受けにきて、彼に言った、「先生、わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」。
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
彼らに言った、「きまっているもの以上に取り立ててはいけない」。
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
兵卒たちもたずねて言った、「では、わたしたちは何をすればよいのですか」。彼は言った、「人をおどかしたり、だまし取ったりしてはいけない。自分の給与で満足していなさい」。
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
民衆は救主を待ち望んでいたので、みな心の中でヨハネのことを、もしかしたらこの人がそれではなかろうかと考えていた。
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
そこでヨハネはみんなの者にむかって言った、「わたしは水でおまえたちにバプテスマを授けるが、わたしよりも力のあるかたが、おいでになる。わたしには、そのくつのひもを解く値うちもない。このかたは、聖霊と火とによっておまえたちにバプテスマをお授けになるであろう。
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
また、箕を手に持って、打ち場の麦をふるい分け、麦は倉に納め、からは消えない火で焼き捨てるであろう」。
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
こうしてヨハネはほかにもなお、さまざまの勧めをして、民衆に教を説いた。
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
ところが領主ヘロデは、兄弟の妻ヘロデヤのことで、また自分がしたあらゆる悪事について、ヨハネから非難されていたので、
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
彼を獄に閉じ込めて、いろいろな悪事の上に、もう一つこの悪事を重ねた。
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
さて、民衆がみなバプテスマを受けたとき、イエスもバプテスマを受けて祈っておられると、天が開けて、
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
聖霊がはとのような姿をとってイエスの上に下り、そして天から声がした、「あなたはわたしの愛する子、わたしの心にかなう者である」。
