Luke 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
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;	1 Εν δε τω δεκατω πεμπτω ετει της ηγεμονιας Τιβεριου Καισαρος, οτε ο Ποντιος Πιλατος ηγεμονευε της Ιουδαιας, και τετραρχης της Γαλιλαιας ητο ο Ηρωδης, Φιλιππος δε ο αδελφος αυτου τετραρχης της Ιτουραιας και της Τραχωνιτιδος χωρας, και ο Λυσανιας τετραρχης της Αβιληνης,
2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.	2 επι αρχιερεων Αννα και Καιαφα, εγεινε λογος Θεου προς Ιωαννην, τον υιον του Ζαχαριου, εν τη ερημω,
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;	3 και ηλθεν εις πασαν την περιχωρον του Ιορδανου, κηρυττων βαπτισμα μετανοιας εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων,
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.	4 ως ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω των λογων Ησαιου του προφητου, λεγοντος? Φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω, ετοιμασατε την οδον του Κυριου, ευθειας καμετε τας τριβους αυτου.
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;	5 πασα φαραγξ θελει γεμισθη και παν ορος και βουνος θελει ταπεινωθη, και τα σκολια θελουσι γεινει ευθεα και αι τραχειαι οδοι ομαλαι,
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.	6 και πασα σαρξ θελει ιδει το σωτηριον του Θεου.
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?	7 Ελεγε δε προς τους οχλους τους εξερχομενους δια να βαπτισθωσιν υπ' αυτου? Γεννηματα εχιδνων, τις εδειξεν εις εσας να φυγητε απο της μελλουσης οργης;
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.	8 Καμετε λοιπον καρπους αξιους της μετανοιας, και μη αρχισητε να λεγητε καθ' εαυτους, Πατερα εχομεν τον Αβρααμ? διοτι σας λεγω οτι δυναται ο Θεος εκ των λιθων τουτων να αναστηση τεκνα εις τον Αβρααμ.
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.	9 Ηδη δε και η αξινη κειται προς την ριζαν των δενδρων? παν λοιπον δενδρον μη καμνον καρπον καλον εκκοπτεται και εις πυρ βαλλεται.
10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?	10 Και ηρωτων αυτον οι οχλοι, λεγοντες? Τι λοιπον θελομεν καμει;
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.	11 Αποκριθεις δε λεγει προς αυτους. Ο εχων δυο χιτωνας ας μεταδωση εις τον μη εχοντα, και ο εχων τροφας ας καμη ομοιως.
12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?	12 Ηλθον δε και τελωναι δια να βαπτισθωσι, και ειπον προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε, τι θελομεν καμει;
13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.	13 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Μη εισπραττετε μηδεν περισσοτερον παρα το διατεταγμενον εις εσας.
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.	14 Ηρωτων δε αυτον και στρατιωτικοι, λεγοντες? Και ημεις τι θελομεν καμει; Και ειπε προς αυτους? Μη βιασητε μηδενα μηδε συκοφαντησητε, και αρκεισθε εις τα σιτηρεσια σας.
15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;	15 Ενω δε επροσμενεν ο λαος, και διελογιζοντο παντες εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων περι του Ιωαννου, μηποτε αυτος ειναι ο Χριστος,
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:	16 απεκριθη ο Ιωαννης προς παντας, λεγων? Εγω μεν σας βαπτιζω εν υδατι? ερχεται ομως ο ισχυροτερος μου, του οποιου δεν ειμαι αξιος να λυσω το λωριον των υποδηματων αυτου? αυτος θελει σας βαπτισει εν Πνευματι Αγιω και πυρι.
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.	17 Του οποιου το πτυαριον ειναι εν τη χειρι αυτου και θελει διακαθαρισει το αλωνιον αυτου, και θελει συναξει τον σιτον εις την αποθηκην αυτου, το δε αχυρον θελει κατακαυσει εν πυρι ασβεστω.
18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.	18 Και αλλα πολλα προτρεπων ευηγγελιζετο τον λαον.
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;	19 Ο δε Ηρωδης ο τετραρχης, ελεγχομενος υπ' αυτου περι της Ηρωδιαδος, της γυναικος Φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου, και περι παντων των κακων οσα επραξεν ο Ηρωδης,
20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.	20 προσεθεσε και τουτο επι πασι και κατεκλεισε τον Ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;	21 Αφου δε εβαπτισθη πας ο λαος, βαπτισθεντος και του Ιησου και προσευχομενου, ηνοιχθη ο ουρανος
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.	22 και κατεβη το Πνευμα το Αγιον εν σωματικη μορφη ως περιστερα επ' αυτον, και εγεινε φωνη εκ του ουρανου, λεγουσα? Συ εισαι ο Υιος μου ο αγαπητος, εις σε ευηρεστηθην.
