Luke 3
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
Anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Caesaris, procurante Pontio Pilato Iudaeam, tetrarcha autem Galiaeae Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Ituraeae, et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha,
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas—the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
sub principibus sacerdotum Anna, et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zachariae filium, in deserto.
3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis, praedicans baptismum poenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum,
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “A voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
sicut scriptum est in Libro sermonum Isaiae prophetae: Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini: rectas facite semitas eius:
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked roads will be made straight, and the uneven places will be built into roads,
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 John said to the crowds who were coming out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to run away from the wrath that is coming?
Dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exibant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: Genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?
8 Therefore, produce fruits that are worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones.
Facite ergo fructus dignos poenitentiae, et ne coeperitis dicere: Patrem habemus Abraham. Dico enim vobis quia potens est Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahae.
9 Even now the ax is set against the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
Iam enim securis ad radicem arboris posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
10 Then the crowds kept asking him, saying, “What then are we to do?”
Et interrogabant eum turbae, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus?
11 He answered and said to them, “If someone has two tunics, he should share it with a person who has none, and the one having food should do the same.”
Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat.
12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
Venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: Magister, quid faciemus?
13 He said to them, “Do not collect more money than you have been ordered to collect.”
At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis.
14 Some soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, and do not accuse anyone falsely. Be content with your wages.”
Interrogabant autem eum et milites, dicentes: Quid faciemus et nos? Et ait illis: Neminem concutiatis, neque calumniam faciatis: sed contenti estote stipendiis vestris.
15 Now as the people were eagerly expecting the Christ to come, everyone was wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ.
Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus:
16 John answered by saying to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water, but someone is coming who is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy even to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
respondit Ioannes, dicens omnibus: Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos: veniet autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corigiam calceamentorum: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu sancto, et igne:
17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse. But he will burn up the chaff with fire that can never be put out.”
cuius ventilabrum in manu eius, et purgabit aream suam, et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igne inextinguibili.
18 With many other exhortations also, John preached good news to the people.
Multa quidem, et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo.
19 When Herod the tetrarch had been reproved for marrying his brother's wife Herodias, and for all the other evil things that Herod had done,
Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui, et de omnibus malis, quae fecit Herodes,
20 he added this to them all, that he locked John up in prison.
adiecit et hoc super omnia, et inclusit Ioannem in carcere.
21 Now it came about, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he was praying, the heavens opened,
Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato, et orante, apertum est caelum:
22 and the Holy Spirit in bodily form came down on him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you.”
et descendit Spiritus sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum: et vox de caelo facta est: Tu es filius meus dilectus, in te complacui mihi.
