John the Baptist Prepares the Way

It was now the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius, the Roman emperor. Pontius Pilate was governor over Judea; Herod Antipas was rulera over Galilee; his brother Philip was rulerb over Iturea and Traconitis; Lysanias was ruler over Abilene.

1

П'ятнадцятого року правління кесаря Тиверія, коли Понтій Пилат був правителем Юдеї, Ірод — четверовласником Галилеї, Филип же, його брат, четверовласником краю Ітуреї та Трахонітіди, а Лісаній четверовласником Авілени,

2

Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests. At this time a message from God came to John son of Zechariah, who was living in the wilderness.

2

за первосвящеників Анни та Каяфи, слово Боже було до Йоана, сина Захарії, в пустині.

3

Then John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they had repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven.

3

І він ходив по всій околиці йорданській, проповідуючи хрищення покаяння на прощення гріхів,

4

Isaiah had spoken of John when he said,
“He is a voice shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the LORD’s coming!
Clear the road for him!

4

як писано в книзі віщувань пророка Ісаї: “Голос вопіющого в пустині: Готуйте путь Господню, вирівняйте стежки його.

5

The valleys will be filled,
and the mountains and hills made level.
The curves will be straightened,
and the rough places made smooth.

5

Кожна долина заповниться, кожна гора й горб знизиться, нерівне вирівняється, дороги вибоїсті стануть гладкі,

6

And then all people will see
the salvation sent from God.’”c

6

а кожна людина побачить спасіння Господнє.”

7

When the crowds came to John for baptism, he said, “You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee the coming wrath?

7

Він, отже, говорив до людей, що приходили христитися до нього: “Гадюче поріддя! Хто вам вказав утікати від настигаючого гніву?

8

Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.

8

Чиніть плоди, достойні покаяння, і не беріться говорити собі: Маємо за батька Авраама. Кажу бо вам, що Бог з цього каміння може підняти дітей для Авраама.

9

Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”

9

Ба вже і сокира прикладена до кореня дерев: кожне бо дерево, що не приносить доброго плоду, буде зрубане та вкинуте в вогонь.”

10

The crowds asked, “What should we do?”

10

Люди питали його: “Що ж нам робити?”

11

John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.”

11

Він відповів їм: “Хто має дві одежі, нехай дасть тому, що не має. А хто має харч, нехай так само зробить.”

12

Even corrupt tax collectors came to be baptized and asked, “Teacher, what should we do?”

12

Прийшли також митарі христитись і йому мовили: “Учителю, що маємо робити?”

13

He replied, “Collect no more taxes than the government requires.”

13

А він сказав їм: “Нічого більше понад те, що вам призначено, не робіть.”

14

“What should we do?” asked some soldiers.
John replied, “Don’t extort money or make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”

14

Вояки теж його питали: “А ми що маємо робити?” Він відповів їм: “Нікому кривди не чиніть, фальшиво не доносьте і вдовольняйтесь вашою платнею.”

15

Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon, and they were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah.

15

А із-за того, що люди вижидали (Месії), кожен сам у собі розмірковував про Йоана, чи не він часом Христос.

16

John answered their questions by saying, “I baptize you withd water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am — so much greater that I’m not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.e

16

Йоан, звертаючись до всіх, озвався: “Я вас хрищу водою, але йде сильніший від мене, якому я негідний розв'язати ремінь від взуття. Той буде вас христити Духом Святим і вогнем.

17

He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”

17

Його лопата в руці в нього, щоб вичистити тік свій і зібрати пшеницю в свою клуню, а полову спалити вогнем невгасимим.”

18

John used many such warnings as he announced the Good News to the people.

18

Навчаючи ж багато й іншого, він звіщав народові Добру Новину.

19

John also publicly criticized Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee,f for marrying Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for many other wrongs he had done.

19

Тим часом четверовласник Ірод, якому Йоан докоряв за Іродіяду, жінку його брата, і за все, що Ірод накоїв,

20

So Herod put John in prison, adding this sin to his many others.

20

додав ще й це до того всього, що замкнув Йоана до в'язниці.

21

The Baptism of Jesus

One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened,

21

Коли ввесь народ христився, і коли Ісус, охристившись, молився, відкрилось небо,

22

and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.g”

22

і Святий Дух у тілеснім вигляді, немов голуб, зійшов на нього, та залунав з неба голос: “Ти — мій Син любий, тебе я вподобав.”
