Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the tetrarch of Abilene,
П’ятнадцятого року царювання Кесаря Тиберія, коли Понтій Пилат правив Юдеєю, Ірод був тетрархом Галілеї, його брат, Филип, був тетрархом земель Трахонії та Ітуреї, а Лісаній був тетрархом Авілінії,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
коли первосвященниками були Анна та Каяфа, було Слово Боже до Івана, сина Захарії, у пустелі.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
[Іван] пройшов усю околицю Йордану й проповідував хрещення покаяння для прощення гріхів,
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
як написано в книзі слів пророка Ісаї: «Голос кличе в пустелі: „Приготуйте дорогу Господеві, вирівняйте шляхи для Нього!
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;
Нехай кожен яр наповниться і всяка гора та пагорб знизяться. Криві дороги нехай стануть прямими, а нерівні – рівними,
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
і всі люди побачать спасіння Боже“».
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
[Іван] казав так народові, що приходив хреститися в нього: ―Роде гадючий! Хто порадив вам тікати від гніву, що наближається?
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 of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Чиніть же плоди, достойні покаяння, і не думайте говорити в собі: «Наш батько – Авраам!» Бо кажу вам: Бог може з цього каміння створити дітей для Авраама!
9 And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Уже й сокира лежить біля коріння дерев! Кожне дерево, яке не приносить доброго плоду, зрубають та вкидають у вогонь.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Люди питали його: ―Що ж нам робити?
11 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.
У відповідь він казав: ―Хто має дві сорочки, нехай віддасть одну тому, хто не має жодної, і хто має їжу, хай зробить так само.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Прийшли й митники хреститися та спитали його: ―Учителю, а нам що робити?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Він відповів: ―Не беріть більше від того, що вам призначено.
14 And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely, and be content with your wages.
Воїни теж спитали його: ―А що нам робити? Він відповів: ―Нічого не беріть силою, не обвинувачуйте нікого неправдиво, задовольняйтеся своєю платнею.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Народ був в очікуванні, усі розмірковували у своїх серцях про Івана, чи не він Христос.
16 John answered, saying to [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 will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
Іван, відповідаючи всім, сказав: ―Я хрещу вас водою, але йде Сильніший за мене, Якому я не достойний розв’язати ремінці Його сандалій. Він буде хрестити вас Духом Святим та вогнем.
17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
У Його руці лопата, Він ретельно очистить Свій тік, збиратиме Свою пшеницю до житниці, а полову спалить у невгасимому вогні.
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
І багато іншого казав він, звіщаючи Добру Звістку народу.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Але коли він почав осуджувати тетрарха Ірода за Іродіаду, дружину його брата, а також за все зло, що він зробив,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
то [Ірод] до всього додав ще й те, що замкнув Івана до в’язниці.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
І сталося, коли хрестився весь народ, і Ісус, охрестившись, молився, розкрилися небеса.
22 And the Holy Spirit 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.
І Дух Святий зійшов на Нього в тілесному вигляді, як голуб, і голос із неба пролунав: «Ти Син Мій улюблений, Тебе Я вподобав!»
