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,
Nell'anno decimoquinto dell'impero di Tiberio Cesare, mentre Ponzio Pilato era governatore della Giudea, Erode tetrarca della Galilea, e Filippo, suo fratello, tetrarca dell'Iturèa e della Traconìtide, e Lisània tetrarca dell'Abilène,
2 vndir the princis of prestis Annas and Caifas, the word of the Lord was maad on Joon, the sone of Zacarie, in desert.
sotto i sommi sacerdoti Anna e Caifa, la parola di Dio scese su Giovanni, figlio di Zaccaria, nel deserto.
3 And he cam in to al the cuntre of Jordan, and prechide baptym of penaunce in to remyssioun of synnes.
Ed egli percorse tutta la regione del Giordano, predicando un battesimo di conversione per il perdono dei peccati,
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.
Voce di uno che grida nel deserto: Preparate la via del Signore, raddrizzate i suoi sentieri! com'è scritto nel libro degli oracoli del profeta Isaia:
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;
Ogni burrone sia riempito, ogni monte e ogni colle sia abbassato; i passi tortuosi siano diritti; i luoghi impervi spianati.
6 and euery fleisch schal se the heelthe of God.
Ogni uomo vedrà la salvezza di Dio!
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?
Diceva dunque alle folle che andavano a farsi battezzare da lui: «Razza di vipere, chi vi ha insegnato a sfuggire all'ira imminente?
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.
Fate dunque opere degne della conversione e non cominciate a dire in voi stessi: Abbiamo Abramo per padre! Perché io vi dico che Dio può far nascere figli ad Abramo anche da queste pietre.
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.
Anzi, la scure è gia posta alla radice degli alberi; ogni albero che non porta buon frutto, sarà tagliato e buttato nel fuoco».
10 And the puple axide hym, and seiden, What thanne schulen we do?
Le folle lo interrogavano: «Che cosa dobbiamo fare?».
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.
Rispondeva: «Chi ha due tuniche, ne dia una a chi non ne ha; e chi ha da mangiare, faccia altrettanto».
12 And pupplicans camen to be baptisid; and thei seiden to hym, Maister, what schulen we do?
Vennero anche dei pubblicani a farsi battezzare, e gli chiesero: «Maestro, che dobbiamo fare?».
13 And he seide to hem, Do ye no thing more, than that that is ordeyned to you.
Ed egli disse loro: «Non esigete nulla di più di quanto vi è stato fissato».
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.
Lo interrogavano anche alcuni soldati: «E noi che dobbiamo fare?». Rispose: «Non maltrattate e non estorcete niente a nessuno, contentatevi delle vostre paghe».
15 Whanne al the puple gesside, and alle men thouyten in her hertis of Joon, lest perauenture he were Crist,
Poiché il popolo era in attesa e tutti si domandavano in cuor loro, riguardo a Giovanni, se non fosse lui il Cristo,
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.
Giovanni rispose a tutti dicendo: «Io vi battezzo con acqua; ma viene uno che è più forte di me, al quale io non son degno di sciogliere neppure il legaccio dei sandali: costui vi battezzerà in Spirito Santo e fuoco.
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.
Egli ha in mano il ventilabro per ripulire la sua aia e per raccogliere il frumento nel granaio; ma la pula, la brucerà con fuoco inestinguibile».
18 And many othere thingis also he spak, and prechide to the puple. But Eroude tetrark, whanne he was blamed of Joon for Erodias,
Con molte altre esortazioni annunziava al popolo la buona novella.
19 the wijf of his brother, and for alle the yuelis that Eroude dide,
Ma il tetrarca Erode, biasimato da lui a causa di Erodìade, moglie di suo fratello, e per tutte le scelleratezze che aveva commesso,
20 encreside this ouer alle, and schitte Joon in prisoun.
aggiunse alle altre anche questa: fece rinchiudere Giovanni in prigione.
21 And it was don, whanne al the puple was baptised, and whanne Jhesu was baptised, and preiede, heuene was openyd.
Quando tutto il popolo fu battezzato e mentre Gesù, ricevuto anche lui il battesimo, stava in preghiera, il cielo si aprì
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.
e scese su di lui lo Spirito Santo in apparenza corporea, come di colomba, e vi fu una voce dal cielo: «Tu sei il mio figlio prediletto, in te mi sono compiaciuto».
