Luke 3 Kata Loukon 3
1En ete de pentekaidekate tau hēgemoniau Tiberiou Kaisarou, hēgemoneuarōntou Pontiou Pilatou tau Ioudaiau, kai tetraarcharōntou tau Galilaiau Hērōdou, Filippou de tou adelfou autou tetraarcharōntou tau Itouraiau kai Trachōnitidau chōrau, kai Lusaniou tau Abilēnau tetraarcharōntou,In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2epi archierevou Hannou kai Kaiafou, geneta rēmem theou epi Iōannon ton Zachariou huion en ta erēma.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3kai erchata eis ⸀pantan perichōran tou Iordanou kērussarōntos baptismem metanoiau eis afesian hamartaiu,He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, 4hōs grafotē en bibla logoiu Ēsaiou tou ⸀profētou; Fōnas boarōntou en ta erēma; Hetoimazavar tan hodan kuriou, euthuain poiavōr tain tribain autou.as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him. 5pantas farangas plēriti kai pantem orem kai bounos tapeiniti, kai eti teim skolieim eis ⸀euthuan kai tais trachuais eis hodain leiain;Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth. 6kai horeti pantas sarkas tem sōtēriem tou theou.And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”
7Legate oun toi ekporeuorōntoi ochloi baptizira hupo autou; Gennēmeim echidnaiu, tinos hupodeikata vi fugara apo tau mellarōntau orgau?Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8poiavar oun karpoin axioin tau metanoiau; kai mē archeveia legarō en heautoi; Patron echanō ton Abraam, legamō gar vi hoti dunotō tos theos ek toiu lithoiu houtoiu egerara tekneim to Abraam.Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9ēdē de kai tas axinas pros tan rizan teiu dendreiu keiotō; pantem oun dendrem mē poiarōntem karpon kalon ekkoptotō kai eis purem balotō.The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10Kai eperōtale auton tois ochlois legarōntois; Tinem oun ⸀poianeia?The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?” 11apokrinirantos de ⸀legate autoi; Tos echarōntos duo chitōnoin metadōatar to mē echarōnto, kai tos echarōntos brōmeim homoiōs poiatōr.John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.” 12erchala de kai telōnois baptizira kai legala pros auton; Didaskalor, tinem ⸀poianeia?Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?” 13tos de legata pros autoin; Mēdenem polloterem para tem diatassorēntem vi prassavōr.“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered. 14eperōtale de auton kai strateuorōntois legarōntois; ⸂Tinem poianeia kai nis?⸃ kai legata ⸀autoi; Mēdenon diaseiaveia mēde sukofantaveia, kai arkovōr tei opsōniei vu.Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”
15Prosdokarōntou de tou laou kai dialogizorōntoiu pantoiu en tai kardiai autoiu peri tou Iōannou, mēpote autos atoiō tos christos,The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ. 16apokrineta ⸂legarōntos pantoi tos Iōannos;⸃ Mis men hude baptizamō vin; erchotō de tos ischuroteros mu, hou ouk amō hikanos luara ton himanton teiu hupodēmeiu autou; autos vin baptizati en pneume hagie kai pure;John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 17hou tem ptuem en ta cheira autou ⸀diakathairara tan halōnan autou kai ⸀sunagara ton siton eis tan apothēkan autou, tem de achurem katakaiati pure asbeste.His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18Polleim men oun kai hetereim parakalarōntos euangelizote ton laon;With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people. 19tos de Hērōdos tos tetraarchos, elenchorōntos hupo autou peri Hērōdiadau tau gunaikau tou adelfou autou kai peri panteiu heiu poiata ponēreiu tos Hērōdos,But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done, 20prostithata kai houtem epi pantei, ⸀kai katakleiata ton Iōannon ⸀en fulaka.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
21Geneta de en te baptizira hapanton ton laon kai Iēsu baptizirantou kai proseuchorōntou anoigira ton ouranonWhen all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened, 22kai katabainara tem pneumem tem hagiem sōmatike eide ⸀hōs peristeran epi auton, kai fōnan ek ouranou ⸀genera; Sis asō tos huios mu tos agapētos, en si eudokama.and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
