Κατα Λουκαν 3
1 Ἐν ἔτει δὲ πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ τῆς ἡγεμονίας Τιβερίου Καίσαρος, ἡγεμονεύοντος Ποντίου Πιλάτου τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καὶ τετρααρχοῦντος τῆς Γαλιλαίας Ἡρῴδου, Φιλίππου δὲ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ τετραρχοῦντος τῆς Ἰτουραίας καὶ Τραχωνίτιδος χώρας, καὶ Λυσανίου τῆς Ἀβιληνῆς τετραρχοῦντος,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis,
2 ἐπὶ ἀρχιερέως Ἅννα καὶ Καϊάφα, ἐγένετο ῥῆμα ˚Θεοῦ ἐπὶ Ἰωάννην, τὸν Ζαχαρίου υἱὸν, ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being high priests, the word of God came unto John the Son of Zacharias in the wilderness:
3 Καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς πᾶσαν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν,
and he went into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
4 ὡς γέγραπται ἐν βίβλῳ λόγων Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου, “Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ: ‘Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν ˚Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ.
as it is written in the book of Esaias the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:
5 Πᾶσα φάραγξ πληρωθήσεται, καὶ πᾶν ὄρος καὶ βουνὸς ταπεινωθήσεται, καὶ ἔσται τὰ σκολιὰ εἰς εὐθείαν, καὶ αἱ τραχεῖαι εἰς ὁδοὺς λείας·
every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth:
6 καὶ ὄψεται πᾶσα σὰρξ τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.’”
and all men shall see the salvation of God."
7 Ἔλεγεν οὖν τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ὄχλοις βαπτισθῆναι ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ, “Γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς;
Therefore said he to the multitudes that came to be baptised by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Ποιήσατε οὖν καρποὺς ἀξίους τῆς μετανοίας· καὶ μὴ ἄρξησθε λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, ‘Πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ’, λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι δύναται ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐκ τῶν λίθων τούτων ἐγεῖραι τέκνα τῷ Ἀβραάμ.
Bring forth therefore fruits becoming penitents, and do not say within yourselves, "We have Abraham for our father," for I tell you that God can of these stones raise up children to Abraham.
9 Ἤδη δὲ καὶ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ῥίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται· πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν, ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται.”
And now the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which doth not yield good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
10 Καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ ὄχλοι λέγοντες, “Τί οὖν ποιήσωμεν;”
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ὁ ἔχων δύο χιτῶνας, μεταδότω τῷ μὴ ἔχοντι, καὶ ὁ ἔχων βρώματα, ὁμοίως ποιείτω.”
And he saith unto them, Let him that hath two coats, give one to him that hath none, and let him that hath food do the like.
12 Ἦλθον δὲ καὶ τελῶναι βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν, “Διδάσκαλε, τί ποιήσωμεν;”
And there came publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Μηδὲν πλέον παρὰ τὸ διατεταγμένον ὑμῖν πράσσετε.”
And He said unto them, Exact no more than what is appointed you.
14 Ἐπηρώτων δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ στρατευόμενοι λέγοντες, “Τί ποιήσωμεν καὶ ἡμεῖς;” Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Μηδένα διασείσητε μηδὲ συκοφαντήσητε, καὶ ἀρκεῖσθε τοῖς ὀψωνίοις ὑμῶν.”
And the soldiers also asked him, saying, And what shall we do? and He said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your pay.
15 Προσδοκῶντος δὲ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ διαλογιζομένων πάντων ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν περὶ τοῦ Ἰωάννου, μήποτε αὐτὸς εἴη ὁ ˚Χριστός,
Now as the people were in suspense, and were all thinking in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ or not,
16 ἀπεκρίνατο λέγων πᾶσιν ὁ Ἰωάννης, “Ἐγὼ μὲν ὕδατι βαπτίζω ὑμᾶς, ἔρχεται δὲ ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ· αὐτὸς ὑμᾶς βαπτίσει ἐν ˚Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ, καὶ πυρί·
John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but a mightier than I is coming, whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: He will baptize you with the holy Spirit, and with fire;
17 οὗ τὸ πτύον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ διακαθᾶραι τὴν ἅλωνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συναγαγεῖν τὸν σῖτον εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην αὐτοῦ, τὸ δὲ ἄχυρον κατακαύσει πυρὶ ἀσβέστῳ.”
whose fan is in his hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary, but will burn up the chaff in unquenchable fire.
18 Πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἕτερα παρακαλῶν, εὐηγγελίζετο τὸν λαόν.
And many other things by way of exhortation did he preach unto the people.
19 Ὁ δὲ Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης, ἐλεγχόμενος ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ περὶ Ἡρῳδιάδος, τῆς γυναικὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησεν πονηρῶν ὁ Ἡρῴδης,
But Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the wicked things which Herod did,
20 προσέθηκεν καὶ τοῦτο ἐπὶ πᾶσιν: κατέκλεισεν τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν φυλακῇ.
added this likewise to all the rest, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ βαπτισθῆναι ἅπαντα τὸν λαὸν, καὶ ˚Ἰησοῦ βαπτισθέντος, καὶ προσευχομένου ἀνεῳχθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν,
Now, when all the people were baptized, and Jesus was baptized and praying,
22 καὶ καταβῆναι τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον σωματικῷ εἴδει, ὡς περιστερὰν ἐπʼ αὐτόν, καὶ φωνὴν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ γενέσθαι: “Σὺ εἶ ὁ Υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα.”
the heaven was opened, and the holy Spirit descended in a corporeal form, like a dove upon Him, and there came a voice from heaven saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
23 Καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀρχόμενος ὡσεὶ ἐτῶν τριάκοντα, ὢν υἱός, ὡς ἐνομίζετο, Ἰωσὴφ, τοῦ Ἠλὶ,
