Luke 3

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,

A roku piętnastego panowania Tyberyjusza Cesarza, gdy Poncki Piłat był starostą Judzkim, a Herod Tetrarchą Galilejskim, a Filip, brat jego, Tetrarchą Iturejskim i krainy Trachonickiej, a Lizanijasz Tetrarchą Abileńskim,

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

Za najwyższych kapłanów Annasza i Kaifasza, stało się słowo Boże do Jana, Zacharyjaszowego syna, na puszczy.

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

I przyszedł do wszystkiej krainy leżącej około Jordanu, każąc chrzest pokuty na odpuszczenie grzechów.

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.

Jako napisano w księgach proroctw Izajasza proroka, mówiącego: Głos wołającego na puszczy; gotujcie drogę Pańską, proste czyńcie ścieżki jego.

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;

Każdy padół będzie wypełniony, a każda góra i pagórek będzie zniżony, i miejsca krzywe wyprostują się, a ostre drogi będą gładkiemi;

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

I ogląda wszelkie ciało zbawienie Boże.

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?

Mówił tedy ludowi, który wychodził, aby był ochrzczony od niego: Rodzaju jaszczurczy! któż wam pokazał, żebyście uciekali przed przyszłym gniewem?

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.

Przynoścież tedy owoce godne pokuty, a nie poczynajcie mówić sami w sobie: Ojca mamy Abrahama; albowiem powiadam wam, że Bóg może i z tych kamieni wzbudzić dzieci Abrahamowi.

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.

A już siekiera do korzenia drzew przyłożona jest; przetoż każde drzewo, które nie przynosi owocu dobrego, bywa wycięte i w ogień wrzucone.

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

I pytał go lud mówiąc: Cóż tedy czynić będziemy?

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.

A on odpowiadając rzekł im: Kto ma dwie suknie, niechaj udzieli temu, co nie ma; a kto ma pokarm niech także uczyni.

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

Przyszli też i celnicy, aby byli chrzczeni, i rzekli do niego: Nauczycielu! a my cóż czynić będziemy?

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

A on rzekł do nich: Nic więcej nie wyciągajcie nad to, co wam postanowiono.

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.

Pytali go też i żołnierze, mówiąc: A my cóż czynić będziemy? I rzekł do nich: Nikomu gwałtu nie czyńcie, i nikogo nie potwarzajcie, a przestawajcie na żołdzie waszym.

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

A gdy lud oczekiwał, i myślili wszyscy w sercach swych o Janie, jeśliby snać on nie był Chrystusem,

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:

Odpowiedział Jan wszystkim, mówiąc: Jać was chrzczę wodą; lecz idzie mocniejszy nad mię, któremum nie jest godzien rozwiązać rzemyka u butów jego; ten was chrzcić będzie Duchem Świętym i ogniem.

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.

Którego łopata jest w ręku jego, a wyczyści bojewisko swoje, i zgromadzi pszenicę do gumna swego, ale plewy spali ogniem nieugaszonym.

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

A tak wiele i innych rzeczy napominając, odpowiadał ludowi.

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

A Herod Tetrarcha, będąc strofowany od niego dla Herodyjady, żony Filipa, brata jego, i dla wszystkich złych spraw, które czynił Herod.

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

Przydał i to nade wszystko, iż wsadził Jana do więzienia.

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

I stało się, gdy był ochrzczony wszystek lud, i gdy Jezus był ochrzczony, i modlił się, że się niebo otworzyło;

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.

I zstąpił nań Duch Święty w kształcie cielesnym jako gołębica, i stał się głos z nieba, mówiąc: Tyś jest on Syn mój miły; w tobie mi się upodobało.
