Лука 3
1 О И множествата го питаха, казвайки: Тогава какво да правим?
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 при първосвещенството на Анна Каиафа, Божието слово дойде до Иоана, Захариевия син, в пустинята.
when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
3 И той отиваше по цялата страна около Йордан и проповядваше кръщение на покаяние за прощаване на греховете,
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 както е писано в книгата с думите на пророк Исаия:
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
5 Всяка долина ще се напълни. И всяка планина и хълм ще се сниши; Кривите пътеки ще станат прави, И неравните места
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
6 И всяка твар ще види Божието спасение.
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
7 И тъй, той казваше на множествата, които излизаха да се кръщават от него: Рожби ехиднини! Кой ви предупреди да бягате от идещия гняв?
He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Прочее, принасяйте плодове, достойни за покаяние; и не почвайте да си думате, имаме Авраама за баща; защото ви казвам, че Бог може и от тия камъни да въздигне чада на Авраама.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 А и брадвата лежи вече при корена на дърветата: и тъй, всяко дърво, което не дава добър плод, отсича се и в огън се хвърля.
And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
10 И множествата го питаха, казвайки: Тогава какво да правим?
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 А той в отговор им рече: Който има две ризи, нека даде на този, който няма; и който има храна, нека прави същото.
He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 Дойдоха и бирниците да се кръстят, и му рекоха: Учителю, ние какво да правим?
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
13 Той им каза: Не изисквайте нищо повече от това, що ви е определено.
And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
14 Питаха го и военослужащи, казвайки: а ние какво да правим? Каза им: Не насилвайте никого, нито наклеветявайте; и задоволявайте се със заплатите си.
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
15 И понеже людете бяха в недоумение, и всички размишляваха в сърцата си за Иоана, да не би той да е Христос,
And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
16 Иоан отговори на всички, като каза: Аз ви кръщавам с вода, но иде Оня, Който е по-силен от мене, Комуто не съм достоен да развържа ремъка на обущата Му; Той ще ви кръсти със Святия Дух и с огън.
John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
17 Той държи лопатата в ръката Си, за да очисти добре гумното Си и да събере житото в житницата Си; а плявата ще изгори в неугасимия огън.
His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 И с много други увещания той благовестяваше на людете.
And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
19 А четверовластникът Ирод, бидейки изобличаван от него, поради Иродиада, братовата си жена, и поради всичките други злини, които беше сторил Ирод,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
20 прибави над всичко друго и това, че затвори Иоана в тъмницата.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 И когато се кръстиха всичките люде, като се кръсти и Исус и се молеше, отвори се небето,
And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
22 и Святият Дух слезе върху Него в телесен образ като гълъб, и глас дойде от небето, който казваше: Ти си Моят възлюбен Син; в тебе е Моето благоволение.
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
