Luke 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	DIODATI
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, 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,	1 OR nell’anno quintodecimo dell’imperio di Tiberio Cesare, essendo Ponzio Pilato governator della Giudea; ed Erode tetrarca della Galilea; e Filippo, suo fratello, tetrarca dell’Iturea, e della contrada Traconitida; e Lisania tetrarca di Abilene;
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.	2 sotto Anna, e Caiafa, sommi sacerdoti; la parola di Dio fu indirizzata a Giovanni, figliuol di Zaccaria, nel deserto.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;	3 Ed egli venne per tutta la contrada d’intorno al Giordano, predicando il battesimo del ravvedimento, in remission de’ peccati.
4 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.	4 Siccome egli è scritto nel libro delle parole del profeta Isaia, dicendo: Vi è una voce d’uno, che grida nel deserto: Acconciate la via del Signore, addirizzate i suoi sentieri.
5 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;	5 Sia ripiena ogni valle, e sia abbassato ogni monte, ed ogni colle; e sieno ridirizzati i luoghi distorti, e le vie aspre appianate.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.	6 Ed ogni carne vedrà la salute di Dio.
7 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?	7 Egli adunque diceva alle turbe, che uscivano per esser da lui battezzate: Progenie di vipere, chi vi ha mostrato a fuggir dall’ira a venire?
8 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.	8 Fate adunque frutti degni del ravvedimento; e non prendete a dir fra voi stessi: Noi abbiamo Abrahamo per padre; perciocchè io vi dico che Iddio può, eziandio da queste pietre, far sorgere de’ figliuoli ad Abrahamo.
9 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.	9 Or già è posta la scure alla radice degli alberi; ogni albero adunque che non fa buon frutto è tagliato, e gettato nel fuoco.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?	10 E le turbe lo domandarono, dicendo: Che faremo noi dunque?
11 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.	11 Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Chi ha due vesti ne faccia parte a chi non ne ha; e chi ha da mangiare faccia il simigliante.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?	12 Or vennero ancora de’ pubblicani, per essere battezzati, e gli dissero: Maestro, che dobbiam noi fare?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.	13 Ed egli disse loro: Non riscotete nulla più di ciò che vi è stato ordinato.
14 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.	14 I soldati ancora lo domandarono, dicendo: E noi, che dobbiam fare? Ed egli disse loro: Non fate storsione ed alcuno, e non oppressate alcuno per calunnia; e contentatevi del vostro soldo
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;	15 Ora, stando il popolo in aspettazione, e ragionando tutti ne’ lor cuori, intorno a Giovanni, se egli sarebbe punto il Cristo;
16 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:	16 Giovanni rispose, dicendo a tutti: Ben vi battezzo io con acqua; ma colui ch’è più forte di me, di cui io non son degno di sciogliere il correggiuol delle scarpe, viene; esso vi battezzerà con lo Spirito Santo, e col fuoco.
17 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.	17 Egli ha la sua ventola in mano, e netterà interamente l’aia sua, e raccoglierà il grano nel suo granaio; ma arderà la paglia col fuoco inestinguibile.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.	18 Così egli evangelizzava al popolo, esortandolo per molti altri ragionamenti.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,	19 Or Erode il tetrarca, essendo da lui ripreso a motivo di Erodiada, moglie di Filippo, suo fratello; e per tutti i mali ch’egli avea commessi;
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.	20 aggiunse ancora questo a tutti gli altri, ch’egli rinchiuse Giovanni in prigione
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,	21 ORA avvenne che mentre tutto il popolo era battezzato, Gesù ancora, essendo stato battezzato, ed orando, il cielo si aperse;
22 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.	22 e lo Spirito Santo scese sopra di lui, in forma corporale, a guisa di colomba; e venne una voce dal cielo, dicendo: Tu sei il mio diletto Figliuolo; in te ho preso il mio compiacimento.
