Évangile selon Luc 3

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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 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 sous le pontificat d'Anne et Caïphe, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zacharie, dans ledésert.	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 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 the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance 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 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 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 plain;
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 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 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 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 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 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 Et les foules l'interrogeaient, en disant: "Que nous faut-il donc faire?"	10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
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 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 Des publicains aussi vinrent se faire baptiser et lui dirent: "Maître, que nous faut-il faire?"	12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 Il leur dit: "N'exigez rien au-delà de ce qui vous est prescrit."	13 But he said to them: Do nothing 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 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 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 of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
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 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 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 purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 Et par bien d'autres exhortations encore il annonçait au peuple la Bonne Nouvelle.	18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to 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, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother'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 He added this also above all, and 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 it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, 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, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
23 Et Jésus, lors de ses débuts, avait environ 30 ans, et il était, à ce qu'on croyait, fils de Joseph, filsd'Héli,	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,
