Lukas 3
1 Eta Tiberio Cesaren emperadoregoaren hamaborzgarren vrthean, Pontio Pilate Iudeaco gobernadore cenean, eta Herodes Galileaco tetrarcha, eta harén anaye Philippe halaber Iturea eta Trachonite comarcaco tetrarcha, eta Lisania Abilineco tetrarcha,
NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene:
2 Eta Annas eta Caiphas Sacrificadore subirano ciradenean: eman cequión Iaincoaren hitza Ioannes Zachariasen semeari desertuan.
when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness;
3 Eta ethor cedin Iordanaren inguruco comarca gucira, predicatzen çuela emendamendutaco Baptismoa bekatuén barkamendutan:
and he came into all the country on the confines of Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Nola baita scribatua Esaias prophetaren hitzén liburuän, dioela, Desertuan oihuz dagoenaren voza da, Appain eçaçue Iaunaren bidea, plana itzaçue haren bidescác.
as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths strait:
5 Haran gucia betheren da, eta mendi eta mendisca gucia beheraturen da, eta makur diraden gauçác chuchenduren dirade, eta bide ikeçuac planaturen,
every valley shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be levelled, and the crooked ways made strait, and the rough roads smooth:
6 Eta ikussiren du haragui guciac Iaincoaren saluagarria.
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
7 Erraiten cerauen bada harenganic batheya litecençat ethorten ciraden gendetzey, Vipera castá, norc auisatu çaituzte ethorteco den hirari ihes eguiten?
He said, therefore, to the multitudes who came out to be baptised by him, Ye broods of vipers, who hath warned you to fly from the approaching wrath?
8 Eguin itzaçue bada fructu emendamenduaren digneac: eta etzaiteztela has erraiten ceuroc baithan, Abraham dugu aita: ecen badiotsuet, Iaincoac harri hautaric-ere Abrahami haour suscita, ahal dieçaqueola.
Produce then fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say in yourselves, We have a father, even Abraham; for I say unto you, That God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Bada ia aizcora-ere arborén errora eçarria da: beraz arbore fructu on eguiten eztuen gucia piccatzen da, eta sura egoizten.
But now is the ax laid even to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that produceth not good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
10 Orduan interroga ceçaten gendetzéc, cioitela, Cer eguinen dugu beraz?
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then shall we do?
11 Eta ihardesten çuela erran ciecén, Bi arropa dituenac eman bieço eztuenari: eta iatecoric duenac, halaber eguin beça.
And he answering said to them, He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do in like manner.
12 Ethor cedin publicanoetaric-ere batheya litecençat: eta erran cieçoten, Magistruá, cer eguinen dugu?
Then came also the farmers of the taxes to be baptised, and they said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Eta harc erran ciecén, Deus ordenatu çaiçuen baino guehiago ezteçaçuela erekar.
He said unto them, Exact nothing more than is appointed for you.
14 Interroga ceçaten gendarmesec-ere, cioitela, Eta guc cer eguinen dugu? Eta dioste, Nehor ezteçaçuela tormenta, ez iniuria: eta contenta çaitezte çuen gagéz.
And the military men also asked him, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Extort nothing by force; nor turn informers; and be content with your pay.
15 Eta populua beha cegoela, eta guciéc bere bihotzetan pensatzen çutela Ioannesez, eya hura liçatenez Christ,
Now when the people were in expectation, and many reasoned in their hearts respecting John, whether he were the Messiah,
16 Ihardets ceçan Ioannesec, erraiten cerauela guciey, Eguia da nic batheyatzen çaituztet vrez: baina heldu da ni baino borthitzago dena, ceinen çapatetaco hedearen lachatzeco ezpainaiz digne: harc batheyaturen çaituzte Spiritu sainduaz eta suz.
John addressed himself to them all, saying, I indeed baptise you with water; but one mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie: he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire;
17 Ceinen bahea haren escuan içanen baita, eta garbituren du chahu bere larraina: eta bilduren du bihia bere granerera: baina lastoa choil erreren du bihinere hiltzen ezten suan.
whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and collect the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Bada anhitz berce gauçaz-ere exhortatzen çuela euangelizatzen ceraucan populuari.
Thus in many and various discourses exhorting them, he preached the glad tidings of the gospel to the people.
19 Baina Herodes tetrarcha harçaz reprehenditzen cenean, Herodias bere anaye Philipperen emazteagatic, eta berac eguin cituen gaichtaqueria guciacgatic,
Now Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him, on account of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the other wicked actions which he had done,
20 Eratchequi ceçan haur-ere berce gucién gainera, eçar baitzeçan Ioannes presoindeguian.
added this also to all the rest, and shut up John in prison.
21 Eta guertha cedin populu gucia batheyatzen cela, eta Iesus batheyaturic othoiztez cegoela, irequi baitzedin cerua:
Now it came to pass, at the time when John was baptising all the people, that Jesus also was baptised, and as he prayed, the heaven was opened,
22 Eta iauts baitzedin Spiritu saindua forma visibletan vsso columba baten guissán, haren gainera, eta vozbat cerutic eguin baitzedin, cioela, Hi aiz ene Seme maitea, hitan hartzen diat neure atseguin ona.
and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, like a dove, upon him, and a voice came from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
23 Eta Iesus bera hatsen cen hoguey eta hamar vrtheren inguruco içaten, seme (estimatzen çuten becembatean) Iosephen, Ioseph cen Heliren seme:
And Jesus himself was about thirty years of age when he began his ministry, being (as was supposed the son of Joseph) of Heli,
