Evangelio di Santo Luca 3

BIBBIA VOLGARE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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.	1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
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.	2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3 E allora venne Ioanne in quel luogo e contrada del Giordano, e predicava il battesimo della penitenza in remissione de' peccati,	3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
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).	4 As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
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.	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 plain;
6 E vederà ogni carne il salvatore Iddio.	6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
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?	7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
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.	8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
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.	9 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
10 E. le turbe addimandavanlo dicendo: che adunque faremo?	10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 E rispondendo diceva a quelli: chi ha due vestimente, doni al non avente; e chi ha cibi, faccia similmente.	11 And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
12 Onde vennero etiam li pubblicani per battezzarsi, e dissero a quello: maestro, che faremo noi?	12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 Ed egli disse a quelli: nulla altra cosa fate, che quel che a voi è ordinato.	13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
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.	14 And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
15 Onde estimando il popolo, e pensando tutti nelli suoi cuori di Ioanne, ch' egli forse non fosse Cristo,	15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
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.	16 John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
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.	17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 E molte altre cose esortando, egli evangelizzava al popolo.	18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 Di che Erode Tetrarca, essendo ripreso da quello di Erodiade, mogliere del suo fratello, e di tutti li mali che fece Erode,	19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
20 sopra tutti questi aggiunse etiam questo, ch' egli chiuse Ioanne in pregione.	20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 Etiam fatto è, che battezzato tutto il popolo e Iesù, ed egli orando, fu aperto il cielo.	21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
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.	22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
23 Ed egli Iesù era incominciante quasi di trenta anni, come si imaginava ch' egli fosse figliuolo di Iosef, il quale fu di Eli, il quale fu di Matat,	23 And Jesus himself was beginning about the age of thirty years; being (as it was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was of Heli, who was of Mathat,
