JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 L'an quinze du principat de Tibère César, Ponce Pilate étant gouverneur de Judée, Hérode tétrarque deGalilée, Philippe son frère tétrarque du pays d'Iturée et de Trachonitide, Lysanias tétrarque d'Abilène,	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,
2 sous le pontificat d'Anne et Caïphe, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zacharie, dans ledésert.	2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Et il vint dans toute la région du Jourdain, proclamant un baptême de repentir pour la rémission despéchés,	3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 comme il est écrit au livre des paroles d'Isaïe le prophète: Voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Préparezle chemin du Seigneur, rendez droits ses sentiers;	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.
5 tout ravin sera comblé, et toute montagne ou colline sera abaissée; les passages tortueux deviendrontdroits et les chemins raboteux seront nivelés.	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;
6 Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu.	6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Il disait donc aux foules qui s'en venaient se faire baptiser par lui: "Engeance de vipères, qui vous asuggéré d'échapper à la Colère prochaine?	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?
8 Produisez donc des fruits dignes du repentir, et n'allez pas dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons pour pèreAbraham. Car je vous dis que Dieu peut, des pierres que voici, faire surgir des enfants à Abraham.	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.
9 Déjà même la cognée se trouve à la racine des arbres; tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit vaêtre coupé et jeté au feu."	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.
10 Et les foules l'interrogeaient, en disant: "Que nous faut-il donc faire?"	10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Il leur répondait: "Que celui qui a deux tuniques partage avec celui qui n'en a pas, et que celui qui a dequoi manger fasse de même."	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.
12 Des publicains aussi vinrent se faire baptiser et lui dirent: "Maître, que nous faut-il faire?"	12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Il leur dit: "N'exigez rien au-delà de ce qui vous est prescrit."	13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Des soldats aussi l'interrogeaient, en disant: "Et nous, que nous faut-il faire?" Il leur dit: "Ne molestezpersonne, n'extorquez rien, et contentez-vous de votre solde."	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.
15 Comme le peuple était dans l'attente et que tous se demandaient en leur coeur, au sujet de Jean, s'iln'était pas le Christ,	15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 Jean prit la parole et leur dit à tous: "Pour moi, je vous baptise avec de l'eau, mais vient le plus fort quemoi, et je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie de ses sandales; lui vous baptisera dans l'Esprit Saint et le feu.	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:
17 Il tient en sa main la pelle à vanner pour nettoyer son aire et recueillir le blé dans son grenier; quantaux bales, il les consumera au feu qui ne s'éteint pas."	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.
18 Et par bien d'autres exhortations encore il annonçait au peuple la Bonne Nouvelle.	18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Cependant Hérode le tétrarque, qu'il reprenait au sujet d'Hérodiade, la femme de son frère, et pour tousles méfaits qu'il avait commis,	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,
20 ajouta encore celui-ci à tous les autres: il fit enfermer Jean en prison.	20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Or il advint, une fois que tout le peuple eut été baptisé et au moment où Jésus, baptisé lui aussi, setrouvait en prière, que le ciel s'ouvrit,	21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 et l'Esprit Saint descendit sur lui sous une forme corporelle, comme une colombe. Et une voix partit duciel: "Tu es mon fils; moi, aujourd'hui, je t'ai engendré."	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.
