Luke 3

Tibérius császár uralkodásának tizenötödik esztendejében pedig, mikor Júdeában Ponczius Pilátus volt a helytartó, és Galileának negyedes fejedelme Heródes, Iturea és Trakhónitis tartományának pedig negyedes fejedelme az ő testvére Filep, Abiléné negyedes fejedelme meg Lisániás,

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

Annás és Kajafás főpapsága alatt, lőn az Úrnak szava Jánoshoz, a Zakariás fiához, a pusztában,

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

És méne a Jordán mellett lévő minden tartományba prédikálván a megtérés keresztségét a bűnöknek bocsánatjára;

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

A mint meg van írva Ésaiás próféta beszédeinek könyvében, ki *ezt* mondja: Kiáltónak szava a pusztában: Készítsétek meg az Úrnak útját, egyengessétek az ő ösvényeit.

As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Minden völgy betöltetik, minden hegy és halom megalacsonyíttatik; és az egyenetlenek egyenesekké, és a göröngyös útak símákká lesznek;

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 shall be made smooth;

És meglátja minden test az Istennek szabadítását.

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Monda azért a sokaságnak, a mely kiméne hozzá, hogy általa megkereszteltessék: Viperák fajzati, kicsoda intett meg titeket, hogy a bekövetkező harag elől meneküljetek?

Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Teremjetek azért megtéréshez méltó gyümölcsöket, és ne mondogassátok magatokban: Ábrahám a mi atyánk! mert mondom néktek, hogy az Isten ezekből a kövekből is támaszthat fiakat Ábrahámnak.

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Immár pedig a fejsze is rávettetett a fák gyökerére: minden fa azért, a mely jó gyümölcsöt nem terem, kivágattatik és a tűzre vettetik.

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

És megkérdé őt a sokaság, mondván: Mit cselekedjünk tehát?

And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

Ő pedig felelvén, monda nékik: A kinek két köntöse van, egyiket adja annak, a kinek nincs; és a kinek van eledele, hasonlókép cselekedjék.

He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

És eljövének a vámszedők is, hogy megkeresztelkedjenek, és mondának néki: Mester, mit cselekedjünk?

Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

Ő pedig monda nékik: Semmi többet ne követeljetek, mint a mi előtökbe rendeltetett.

And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

És megkérdék őt a vitézek is, mondván: Hát mi mit cselekedjünk? És monda nékik: Senkit se háborítsatok, se ne patvarkodjatok; és elégedjetek meg zsoldotokkal.

And the soldiers likewise demanded of 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 wages.

Mikor pedig a nép várt és szívökben mind azon gondolkoztak János felől, hogy vajjon nem ő-é a Krisztus;

And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

Felele János mindeneknek, mondván: Én ugyan keresztellek titeket vízzel; de eljő, a ki nálamnál erősebb, a kinek nem vagyok méltó, hogy sarujának kötőjét megoldjam: az majd keresztel titeket Szent Lélekkel és tűzzel:

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

Kinek szórólapátja kezében van, és megtisztítja szérűjét; és a gabonát az ő csűrébe takarja, a polyvát pedig megégeti olthatatlan tűzzel.

Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

És még sok egyebekre is intvén *őket,* hirdeté az evangyéliomot a népnek.

And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

Mikor pedig Heródes, a negyedes fejedelem, megfeddetett ő tőle Heródiásért, az ő testvérének, Filepnek feleségéért és mindama gonoszságokért, a miket Heródes cselekedett,

But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

*Ez* még azzal tetézte mindezeket, hogy Jánost tömlöczbe vetteté.

Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

Lőn pedig, hogy mikor az egész nép megkeresztelkedett, és Jézus is megkereszteltetett, és imádkozott, megnyilatkozék az ég,

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

És leszálla ő reá a Szent Lélek testi ábrázatban mint egy galamb, és szózat lőn mennyből, ezt mondván: Te vagy amaz én szerelmes Fiam, te benned gyönyörködöm!

And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Maga Jézus pedig mintegy harmincz esztendős volt, mikor *tanítani* kezdett, ki, a mint állítják vala, a József fia vala, *ez pedig* a Hélié,
