Luke 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA VOLGARE
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 Anno quinto decimo dell' imperio di Tiberio Cesare (imperatore), procurando Ponzio Pilato (da avere) la Iudea, Erode era signore di Galilea, e il suo fratello Filippo era signore del paese di Iturea e di Traconite e di Lisania e d' Abilina.
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.	2 E questo era nel tempo che Anna e Caifas erano principi de' sacerdoti; e in questo tempo venne la gloria del Signore sopra Ioanne, figliuolo di Zaccaria, stando egli nel deserto.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;	3 E allora venne Ioanne in quel luogo e contrada del Giordano, e predicava il battesimo della penitenza in remissione 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 sì come è scritto nel libro de' sermoni di Isaia profeta (che dice): io sono la voce chiamante in deserto; apparecchiate le vie del Signore; e fate dritte le strade sue (e li suoi comandamenti).
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 Imperò che ogni valle empirassi, e ogni monte e colle s' agguagliarà; e saranno le cose torte in dirittura, e le aspere nella via piana.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.	6 E vederà ogni carne il salvatore Iddio.
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 Diceva adunque egli alle turbe, le quali uscivano per battezzarsi da lui: generazione di serpenti, chi vi ha mostrato di fuggire dalla ventura ira?
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 li frutti degni di penitenza, e non cominciate a dicere: abbiamo Abraam per padre. Certo vi dico che Iddio è potente a suscitare li figliuoli di Abraam di queste pietre.
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 Imperò che già la mannara è posta alla radice dell' arbore. Ogni adunque arbore, non facente buono frutto, sarà tagliato e posto al fuoco.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?	10 E. le turbe addimandavanlo dicendo: che adunque faremo?
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 E rispondendo diceva a quelli: chi ha due vestimente, doni al non avente; e chi ha cibi, faccia similmente.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?	12 Onde vennero etiam li pubblicani per battezzarsi, e dissero a quello: maestro, che faremo noi?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.	13 Ed egli disse a quelli: nulla altra cosa fate, che quel che a voi è 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 E addimandavanlo li cavalieri, dicendo: che faremo etiam noi? E a loro disse: non tormentate alcuno, e ingiustamente non calunniate, e state contenti de' vostri salarii.
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 Onde estimando il popolo, e pensando tutti nelli suoi cuori di Ioanne, ch' egli forse non fosse 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 rispose Ioanne, e diceva a tutti: io certamente vi battezzo nell' acqua; ma verrà il più forte, la correggia de' cui calzamenti non sono degno da sciogliere; egli vi battezzarà nel Spirito santo e nel 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 Nella cui mano è la pala, e purgarà l'aia sua, e raunarà il frumento nel granaro suo, e bruciarà le paglie nel fuoco inestinguibile.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.	18 E molte altre cose esortando, egli evangelizzava al popolo.
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 Di che Erode Tetrarca, essendo ripreso da quello di Erodiade, mogliere del suo fratello, e di tutti li mali che fece Erode,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.	20 sopra tutti questi aggiunse etiam questo, ch' egli chiuse Ioanne in pregione.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,	21 Etiam fatto è, che battezzato tutto il popolo e Iesù, ed egli orando, fu aperto il cielo.
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 discese il Spirito santo in specie corporale, come colomba, sopra di lui; e fatta fu la voce dal cielo tu sei il figliuolo mio diletto, in te mi sono compiaciuto.
