Luke 3

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,	1 Anno autem quinto decimo im perii Tiberii Caesaris, procu rante PontioPilato Iudaeam, tetrarcha autem Galilaeae Herode, Philippo autem fratre eiustetrarcha Ituraeae et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha,
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the desert.	2 sub principe sacerdotum Anna et Caipha, factum est verbum Dei super IoannemZachariae filium in deserto.
3 He went throughout (the) whole region of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,	3 Et venit in omnem regionem circa Iordanempraedicans baptismum paenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum,
4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah: "A voice of one crying out in the desert: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.	4 sicut scriptumest in libro sermonum Isaiae prophetae: “ Vox clamantis in deserto: “Parate viam Domini, rectas facite semitas eius.
5 Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The winding roads shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth,	5 Omnis vallis implebitur, et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur; et erunt prava in directa, et aspera in vias planas:
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"	6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei” ”.
7 He said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?	7 Dicebat ergo ad turbas, quae exibant, ut baptizarentur ab ipso: “ Geniminaviperarum, quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?
8 Produce good fruits as evidence of your repentance; and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones.	8 Facite ergo fructusdignos paenitentiae et ne coeperitis dicere in vobis ipsis: “Patrem habemusAbraham”; dico enim vobis quia potest Deus de lapidibus istis suscitareAbrahae filios.
9 Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."	9 Iam enim et securis ad radicem arborum posita est; omnis ergoarbor non faciens fructum bonum exciditur et in ignem mittitur ”.
10 And the crowds asked him, "What then should we do?"	10 Et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes: “ Quid ergo faciemus? ”.
11 He said to them in reply, "Whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise."	11 Respondens autem dicebat illis: “ Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti; et,qui habet escas, similiter faciat ”.
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we do?"	12 Venerunt autem et publicani, utbaptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: “ Magister, quid faciemus? ”.
13 He answered them, "Stop collecting more than what is prescribed."	13 Atille dixit ad eos: “ Nihil amplius quam constitutum est vobis, faciatis ”.
14 Soldiers also asked him, "And what is it that we should do?" He told them, "Do not practice extortion, do not falsely accuse anyone, and be satisfied with your wages."	14 Interrogabant autem eum et milites dicentes: “ Quid faciemus et nos? ”.Et ait illis: “ Neminem concutiatis neque calumniam faciatis et contentiestote stipendiis vestris ”.
15 Now the people were filled with expectation, and all were asking in their hearts whether John might be the Messiah.	15 Existimante autem populo et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne,ne forte ipse esset Christus,
16 John answered them all, saying, "I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the holy Spirit and fire.	16 respondit Ioannes dicens omnibus: “ Egoquidem aqua baptizo vos. Venit autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solverecorrigiam calceamentorum eius: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu Sancto et igni;
17 His winnowing fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."	17 cuius ventilabrum in manu eius ad purgandam aream suam et ad congregandumtriticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igni inexstinguibili ”.
18 Exhorting them in many other ways, he preached good news to the people.	18 Multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum.
19 Now Herod the tetrarch, who had been censured by him because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evil deeds Herod had committed,	19 Herodes autemtetrarcha, cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui et de omnibusmalis, quae fecit Herodes,
20 added still another to these by (also) putting John in prison.	20 adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Ioannem incarcere.
21 After all the people had been baptized and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, heaven was opened	21 Factum est autem, cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato etorante, apertum est caelum,
22 and the holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."	22 et descendit Spiritus Sanctus corporali speciesicut columba super ipsum; et vox de caelo facta est: “ Tu es Filius meusdilectus; in te complacui mihi ”.
