Luke 3
1 In the fiftenthe yeer of the empire of Tiberie, the emperoure, whanne Pilat of Pounce gouernede Judee, and Eroude was prince of Galilee, and Filip, his brothir, was prince of Iturye, and of the cuntre of Tracon, and Lisanye was prince of Abilyn,
凯撒提庇留在位第十五年，本丢·彼拉多作犹太巡抚，希律作加利利分封的王，他兄弟腓力作以土利亚和特拉可尼地方分封的王，吕撒聂作亚比利尼分封的王，
2 vndir the princis of prestis Annas and Caifas, the word of the Lord was maad on Joon, the sone of Zacarie, in desert.
亚那和该亚法作大祭司。那时，撒迦利亚的儿子约翰在旷野里， 神的话临到他。
3 And he cam in to al the cuntre of Jordan, and prechide baptym of penaunce in to remyssioun of synnes.
他就来到约旦河一带地方，宣讲悔改的洗礼，使罪得赦。
4 As it is wrytun in the book of the wordis of Isaye, the prophete, The voice of a crier in desert, Make ye redi the weie of the Lord, make ye hise pathis riyt.
正如先知以赛亚书上所记的话，说： 在旷野有人声喊着说： 预备主的道， 修直他的路！
5 Ech valey schal be fulfillid, and euery hil and litil hil schal be maad lowe; and schrewid thingis schulen ben in to dressid thingis, and scharp thingis in to pleyn weies;
一切山洼都要填满； 大小山冈都要削平！ 弯弯曲曲的地方要改为正直； 高高低低的道路要改为平坦！
6 and euery fleisch schal se the heelthe of God.
凡有血气的，都要见 神的救恩！
7 Therfor he seid to the puple, which wente out to be baptisid of hym, Kyndlyngis of eddris, who schewide to you to fle fro the wraththe to comynge?
约翰对那出来要受他洗的众人说：“毒蛇的种类！谁指示你们逃避将来的忿怒呢？
8 Therfor do ye worthi fruytis of penaunce, and bigynne ye not to seie, We han a fadir Abraham; for Y seie to you, that God is myyti to reise of these stoonys the sones of Abraham.
你们要结出果子来，与悔改的心相称。不要自己心里说：‘有亚伯拉罕为我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们， 神能从这些石头中，给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来。
9 And now an axe is sett to the roote of the tree; and therfor euery tre that makith no good fruyt, schal be kit doun, and schal be cast in to the fier.
现在斧子已经放在树根上，凡不结好果子的树就砍下来，丢在火里。”
10 And the puple axide hym, and seiden, What thanne schulen we do?
众人问他说：“这样，我们当做什么呢？”
11 He answeride, and seide to hem, He that hath twei cootis, yyue to hym that hath noon; and he that hath metis, do in lijk maner.
约翰回答说：“有两件衣裳的，就分给那没有的；有食物的，也当这样行。”
12 And pupplicans camen to be baptisid; and thei seiden to hym, Maister, what schulen we do?
又有税吏来要受洗，问他说：“夫子，我们当做什么呢？”
13 And he seide to hem, Do ye no thing more, than that that is ordeyned to you.
约翰说：“除了例定的数目，不要多取。”
14 And knyytis axiden hym, and seiden, What schulen also we do? And he seide to hem, Smyte ye wrongfuli no man, nethir make ye fals chalenge, and be ye apayed with youre sowdis.
又有兵丁问他说：“我们当做什么呢？”约翰说：“不要以强暴待人，也不要讹诈人，自己有钱粮就当知足。”
15 Whanne al the puple gesside, and alle men thouyten in her hertis of Joon, lest perauenture he were Crist,
百姓指望基督来的时候，人都心里猜疑，或者约翰是基督。
16 Joon answeride, and seide to alle men, Y baptize you in watir; but a stronger than Y schal come aftir me, of whom Y am not worthi to vnbynde the lace of his schoon; he schal baptize you in the Hooli Goost and fier.
约翰说：“我是用水给你们施洗，但有一位能力比我更大的要来，我就是给他解鞋带也不配。他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。
17 Whos `wynewyng tool in his hond, and he schal purge his floor of corn, and schal gadere the whete in to his berne; but the chaffis he schal brenne with fier vnquenchable.
他手里拿着簸箕，要扬净他的场，把麦子收在仓里，把糠用不灭的火烧尽了。”
18 And many othere thingis also he spak, and prechide to the puple. But Eroude tetrark, whanne he was blamed of Joon for Erodias,
约翰又用许多别的话劝百姓，向他们传福音。
19 the wijf of his brother, and for alle the yuelis that Eroude dide,
只是分封的王希律，因他兄弟之妻希罗底的缘故，并因他所行的一切恶事，受了约翰的责备；
20 encreside this ouer alle, and schitte Joon in prisoun.
又另外添了一件，就是把约翰收在监里。
21 And it was don, whanne al the puple was baptised, and whanne Jhesu was baptised, and preiede, heuene was openyd.
众百姓都受了洗，耶稣也受了洗。正祷告的时候，天就开了，
22 And the Hooli Goost cam doun in bodili licnesse, as a dowue on hym; and a vois was maad fro heuene, Thou art my derworth sone, in thee it hath plesid to me.
圣灵降临在他身上，形状仿佛鸽子；又有声音从天上来，说：“你是我的爱子，我喜悦你。”
