< Luke 3 >

1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

Men i Kejser Tiberius's femtende Regeringsår, da Pontius Pilatus var Landshøvding i Judæa, og Herodes var Fjerdingsfyrste i Galilæa, og hans Broder Filip var Fjerdingsfyrste i Ituræa og Trakonitis's Land og Lysanias Fjerdingsfyrste i Abilene,

2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.

medens Annas og Kajfas vare Ypperstepræster, kom Guds Ord til Johannes, Sakarias's Søn, i Ørkenen.

3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins;

Og han gik ud i hele Omegnen om Jordan og prædikede Omvendelses-Dåb til Syndernes Forladelse,

4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight;

som der er skrevet i Profeten Esajas's Talers Bog: "Der er en Røst af en, som råber i Ørkenen: Bereder Herrens Vej, gører hans Stier jævne;

5 every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made level; and the crooked ways shall be made straight; and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

hver Dal skal opfyldes, og hvert Bjerg og Høj skal nedtrykkes, og det krumme skal gøres lige, og de ujævne Veje skulle gøres jævne;

6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

og alt Kød skal se Guds Frelse."

7 Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Han sagde altså til de Skarer, som gik ud for at døbes af ham: "I Øgleunger! hvem har lært eder at fly fra den kommende Vrede?

8 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 from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

Bærer da Frugter, som ere Omvendelsen værdige, og begynder ikke at sige ved eder selv: Vi have Abraham til Fader; thi jeg siger eder, at Gud kan opvække Abraham Børn af disse Sten.

9 And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.

Men Øksen ligger også allerede ved Roden af Træerne; så bliver da hvert Træ, som ikke bærer god Frugt, omhugget og kastet i Ilden."

10 And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do?

Og Skarerne spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad skulle vi da gøre?"

11 He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.

Men han svarede og sagde til dem: "Den, som har to Kjortler, dele med den, som ingen har; og den, som har Mad, gøre ligeså!"

12 And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?

Men også Toldere kom for at døbes, og de sagde til ham: "Mester! hvad skulle vi gøre?"

13 And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

Men han sagde til dem: "Kræver intet ud over, hvad eder er forordnet."

14 And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay.

Men også Krigsfolk spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad skulle vi da gøre?" Og han sagde til dem: "Øver ikke Vold imod nogen, bruger ikke Underfundighed imod nogen, og lader eder nøje med eders Sold!"

15 While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,

Men da Folket var i Forventning, og alle tænkte i deres Hjerter om Johannes, om ikke han skulde være Kristus,

16 John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

da svarede Johannes og sagde til alle: "Jeg døber eder med Vand; men den kommer, som er stærkere end jeg, og hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse; han skal døbe eder med den Helligånd og Ild.

17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

Hans Kasteskovl er i hans Hånd, for at han skal gennemrense sin Lo og sanke Hveden i sin Lade, men Avnerne skal han opbrænde med uslukkelig Ild."

18 With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people.

Ligeså formanede han også Folket om mange andre Ting og forkyndte dem Evangeliet.

19 But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did,

Men da Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes blev revset af ham for hans Broders Hustru, Herodias's Skyld og for alt det onde, som Herodes gjorde,

20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

så føjede han til alt det øvrige også dette, at han kastede Johannes i Fængsel.

21 And it came to pass, while all the people were being immersed, that Jesus also was immersed; and as he was praying, the heaven was opened,

Men medens hele Folket blev døbt, skete det, da også Jesus var bleven døbt og bad, at Himmelen åbnedes,

22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in a bodily form, like a dove; and there came a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I delight.

og at den Helligånd dalede ned over ham i legemlig Skikkelse som en Due, og at en Røst lød fra Himmelen: "Du er min Søn, den elskede, i dig har jeg Velbehag."

23 And Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his ministry, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, son of Heli,
