Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch 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 during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert.
sub principibus sacerdotum Anna et Caiapha factum est verbum Dei super Iohannem Zacchariae filium in deserto
3 John went into all the district about the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for the forgiveness of sins;
et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis praedicans baptismum paenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum
4 as it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying aloud! 'In the Desert prepare ye a road for the Lord: make His highway straight.
sicut scriptum est in libro sermonum Esaiae prophetae vox clamantis in deserto parate viam Domini rectas facite semitas eius
5 Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill levelled down, the crooked places shall be turned into straight roads, and the rugged ways into smooth;
omnis vallis implebitur et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur et erunt prava in directa et aspera in vias planas
6 and then shall all mankind see God's salvation.'"
et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei
7 Accordingly John used to say to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, "O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exiebant ut baptizarentur ab ipso genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira
8 Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.
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 lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which fails to yield good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire."
iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum exciditur et in ignem mittitur
10 The crowds repeatedly asked him, "What then are we to do?"
et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes quid ergo faciemus
11 "Let the man who has two coats," he answered, "give one to the man who has none; and let the man who has food share it with others."
respondens autem dicebat illis qui habet duas tunicas det non habenti et qui habet escas similiter faciat
12 There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, "Rabbi, what are we to do?"
venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur et dixerunt ad illum magister quid faciemus
13 "Do not exact more than the legal amount," he replied.
at ille dixit ad eos nihil amplius quam quod constitutum est vobis faciatis
14 The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, "And we, what are we to do?" His answer was, "Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay."
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 in suspense and all were debating in their minds whether John might possibly be the Anointed One,
existimante autem populo et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Iohanne ne forte ipse esset Christus
16 he answered the question by saying to them all, "As for me, I am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose very sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten: He will baptize you in 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 His winnowing-shovel is in His hand to clear out His threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into His storehouse; but the chaff He will burn up in fire unquenchable."
cuius ventilabrum in manu eius et purgabit aream suam et congregabit triticum in horreum suum paleas autem conburet igni inextinguibili
18 With many exhortations besides these he declared the Good News to the people.
multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum
19 But Herod the Tetrarch, being repeatedly rebuked by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all the wicked deeds that he had done,
Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui et de omnibus malis quae fecit Herodes
20 now added this to crown all the rest, that he threw John into prison.
adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Iohannem in carcere
21 Now when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the sky opened,
factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus et Iesu baptizato et orante apertum est caelum
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in bodily shape, like a dove, upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, "Thou art My Son, dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
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
23 And He--Jesus--when He began His ministry, was about thirty years old. He was the son (it was supposed) of Joseph, son of Heli,
