Luc 3
1 Or en la quinzième année de l'empire de Tibère César, lorsque Ponce Pilate était Gouverneur de la Judée, et qu'Hérode était Tétrarque en Galilée, et son frère Philippe Tétrarque dans la contrée d'Iturée et de Trachonite, et Lysanias Tétrarque en Abilène;
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
2 Anne et Caïphe étant souverains Sacrificateurs, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean fils de Zacharie, au désert.
Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3 Et il vint dans tout le pays des environs du Jourdain, prêchant le Baptême de repentance, pour la rémission des péchés;
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
4 Comme il est écrit au Livre des paroles d'Esaïe le Prophète, disant: la voix de celui qui crie dans le désert, est: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, aplanissez ses sentiers.
As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
5 Toute vallée sera comblée, et toute montagne et toute colline sera abaissée, et les choses tortues seront redressées, et les chemins raboteux seront aplanis;
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 plain;
6 Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Il disait donc à la foule de ceux qui venaient pour être baptisés par lui: Race de vipères, qui vous a avertis de fuir la colère à venir?
He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Faites des fruits convenables à la repentance, et ne vous mettez point à dire en vous-mêmes: nous avons Abraham pour père; car je vous dis, que Dieu peut faire naître, même de ces pierres, des enfants à Abraham.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Or la cognée est déjà mise à la racine des arbres; tout arbre donc qui ne fait point de bon fruit, s'en va être coupé, et jeté au feu.
For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
10 Alors les troupes l'interrogèrent, disant: que ferons-nous donc?
And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 Et il répondit, et leur dit: que celui qui a deux robes en donne une à celui qui n'en a point; et que celui qui a de quoi manger en fasse de même.
And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
12 Il vint aussi à lui des péagers pour être baptisés, qui lui dirent: maître, que ferons-nous?
And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 Et il leur dit: n'exigez rien au-delà de ce qui vous est ordonné.
But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
14 Les gens de guerre l'interrogèrent aussi, disant: et nous, que ferons-nous? Il leur dit: n'usez point de concussion, ni de fraude contre personne, mais contentez-vous de vos gages.
And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
15 Et comme le peuple était dans l'attente, et raisonnait en soi-même si Jean n'était point le Christ,
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
16 Jean prit la parole, et dit à tous: pour moi, je vous baptise d'eau; mais il en vient un plus puissant que moi, duquel je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie des souliers; celui-là vous baptisera du Saint-Esprit et de feu.
John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
17 Il a son van en sa main, et il nettoiera entièrement son aire, et assemblera le froment dans son grenier, mais il brûlera la paille au feu qui ne s'éteint point.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 Et en faisant plusieurs autres exhortations, il évangélisait au peuple.
And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 Mais Hérode le Tétrarque étant repris par lui au sujet d'Hérodias, femme de Philippe son frère, et à cause de tous les maux qu'il avait faits,
But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
20 Ajouta encore à tous les autres celui de mettre Jean en prison.
He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 Or il arriva que comme tout le peuple était baptisé, Jésus aussi étant baptisé, et priant, le ciel s'ouvrit.
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
22 Et le Saint-Esprit descendit sur lui sous une forme corporelle, comme celle d'une colombe; et il y eut une voix du ciel, qui lui dit: tu es mon Fils bien-aimé, j'ai pris en toi mon bon plaisir.
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
