Luke 3
1 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,
Anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Caesaris, procurante Pontio Pilato Iudaeam, tetrarcha autem Galiaeae Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Ituraeae, et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha,
2 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:
sub principibus sacerdotum Anna, et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zachariae filium, in deserto.
3 and he went into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis, praedicans baptismum poenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum,
4 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:
sicut scriptum est in Libro sermonum Isaiae prophetae: Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini: rectas facite semitas eius:
5 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:
omnis vallis implebitur: et omnis mons, et collis humiliabitur: et erunt prava in directa: et aspera in vias planas:
6 and all men shall see the salvation of God."
et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.
7 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?
Dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exibant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: Genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?
8 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.
Facite ergo fructus dignos poenitentiae, et ne coeperitis dicere: Patrem habemus Abraham. Dico enim vobis quia potens est Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahae.
9 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.
Iam enim securis ad radicem arboris posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Et interrogabant eum turbae, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus?
11 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.
Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat.
12 And there came publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: Magister, quid faciemus?
13 And He said unto them, Exact no more than what is appointed you.
At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis.
14 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.
Interrogabant autem eum et milites, dicentes: Quid faciemus et nos? Et ait illis: Neminem concutiatis, neque calumniam faciatis: sed contenti estote stipendiis vestris.
15 Now as the people were in suspense, and were all thinking in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ or not,
Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus:
16 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;
respondit Ioannes, dicens omnibus: Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos: veniet autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corigiam calceamentorum: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu sancto, et igne:
17 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.
cuius ventilabrum in manu eius, et purgabit aream suam, et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igne inextinguibili.
18 And many other things by way of exhortation did he preach unto the people.
Multa quidem, et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo.
19 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,
Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui, et de omnibus malis, quae fecit Herodes,
20 added this likewise to all the rest, that he shut up John in prison.
adiecit et hoc super omnia, et inclusit Ioannem in carcere.
21 Now, when all the people were baptized, and Jesus was baptized and praying,
Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato, et orante, apertum est caelum:
22 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.
et descendit Spiritus sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum: et vox de caelo facta est: Tu es filius meus dilectus, in te complacui mihi.
