Vangelo secondo Luca 3

DIODATI	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 OR nell’anno quintodecimo dell’imperio di Tiberio Cesare, essendo Ponzio Pilato governator della Giudea; ed Erode tetrarca della Galilea; e Filippo, suo fratello, tetrarca dell’Iturea, e della contrada Traconitida; e Lisania tetrarca di Abilene;	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 sotto Anna, e Caiafa, sommi sacerdoti; la parola di Dio fu indirizzata a Giovanni, figliuol di Zaccaria, 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 Ed egli venne per tutta la contrada d’intorno al Giordano, predicando il battesimo del ravvedimento, in remission de’ peccati.	3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
4 Siccome egli è scritto nel libro delle parole del profeta Isaia, dicendo: Vi è una voce d’uno, che grida nel deserto: Acconciate la via del Signore, addirizzate i suoi sentieri.	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 Sia ripiena ogni valle, e sia abbassato ogni monte, ed ogni colle; e sieno ridirizzati i luoghi distorti, e le vie aspre appianate.	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 Ed ogni carne vedrà la salute di Dio.	6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Egli adunque diceva alle turbe, che uscivano per esser da lui battezzate: Progenie di vipere, chi vi ha mostrato a fuggir dall’ira a venire?	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 frutti degni del ravvedimento; e non prendete a dir fra voi stessi: Noi abbiamo Abrahamo per padre; perciocchè io vi dico che Iddio può, eziandio da queste pietre, far sorgere de’ figliuoli ad Abrahamo.	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 Or già è posta la scure alla radice degli alberi; ogni albero adunque che non fa buon frutto è tagliato, e gettato nel 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 lo domandarono, dicendo: Che faremo noi dunque?	10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Chi ha due vesti ne faccia parte a chi non ne ha; e chi ha da mangiare faccia il simigliante.	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 Or vennero ancora de’ pubblicani, per essere battezzati, e gli dissero: Maestro, che dobbiam noi fare?	12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 Ed egli disse loro: Non riscotete nulla più di ciò che vi è stato ordinato.	13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
14 I soldati ancora lo domandarono, dicendo: E noi, che dobbiam fare? Ed egli disse loro: Non fate storsione ed alcuno, e non oppressate alcuno per calunnia; e contentatevi del vostro soldo	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 Ora, stando il popolo in aspettazione, e ragionando tutti ne’ lor cuori, intorno a Giovanni, se egli sarebbe punto il 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 Giovanni rispose, dicendo a tutti: Ben vi battezzo io con acqua; ma colui ch’è più forte di me, di cui io non son degno di sciogliere il correggiuol delle scarpe, viene; esso vi battezzerà con lo Spirito Santo, e col 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 Egli ha la sua ventola in mano, e netterà interamente l’aia sua, e raccoglierà il grano nel suo granaio; ma arderà la paglia col 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 Così egli evangelizzava al popolo, esortandolo per molti altri ragionamenti.	18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 Or Erode il tetrarca, essendo da lui ripreso a motivo di Erodiada, moglie di Filippo, suo fratello; e per tutti i mali ch’egli avea commessi;	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 aggiunse ancora questo a tutti gli altri, ch’egli rinchiuse Giovanni in prigione	20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 ORA avvenne che mentre tutto il popolo era battezzato, Gesù ancora, essendo stato battezzato, ed orando, il cielo si aperse;	21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
22 e lo Spirito Santo scese sopra di lui, in forma corporale, a guisa di colomba; e venne una voce dal cielo, dicendo: Tu sei il mio diletto Figliuolo; in te ho preso il mio compiacimento.	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.
