Luke 3
1 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,
U petnaestoj godini vladanja æesara Tiverija, kad bješe Pontije Pilat sudija u Judeji, i Irod èetverovlasnik u Galileji, a Filip brat njegov èetverovlasnik u Itureji i u Trahonitskoj, i Lisanija èetverovlasnik u Avilini,
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
Za poglavara sveštenièkijeh Ane i Kajafe, reèe Bog Jovanu sinu Zarijnu u pustinji,
3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
I doðe u svu okolinu Jordansku propovijedajuæi krštenje pokajanja za oproštenje grijeha;
4 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.
Kao što je napisano u knjizi rijeèi proroka Isaije koji govori: glas onoga što vièe u pustinji: pripravite put Gospodnji; poravnite staze njegove;
5 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.
Sve doline neka se ispune, i sve gore i bregovi neka se slegnu; i što je krivo neka bude pravo, i hrapavi putovi neka budu glatki;
6 And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”
I svako æe tijelo vidjeti spasenije Božije.
7 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?
Jovan pak govoraše ljudima koji izlažahu da ih krsti: porodi aspidini! ko vam kaza da bježite od gnjeva koji ide?
8 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.
Rodite dakle rodove dostojne pokajanja, i ne govorite u sebi: oca imamo Avraama; jer vam kažem da Bog može i od ovoga kamenja podignuti djecu Avraamu.
9 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.”
Jer veæ i sjekira stoji drvetu kod korijena; i svako drvo koje dobra roda ne raða sijeèe se i u oganj se baca.
10 The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
I pitahu ga ljudi govoreæi: šta æemo dakle èiniti?
11 John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”
On pak odgovarajuæi reèe im: koji ima dvije haljine neka da jednu onome koji nema; i ko ima hrane neka èini tako.
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
Doðoše pak i carinici da ih krsti, i rekoše mu: uèitelju! šta æemo èiniti?
13 “Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.
A on im reèe: ne ištite više nego što vam je reèeno.
14 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.”
Pitahu ga pak i vojnici govoreæi: a mi šta æemo èiniti? I reèe im: nikome da ne èinite sile niti koga da opadate, i budite zadovoljni svojom platom.
15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.
A kad narod bješe u sumnji i pomišljahu svi u srcima svojijem za Jovana: da nije on Hristos?
16 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.
Odgovaraše Jovan svima govoreæi: ja vas krstim vodom; ali ide za mnom jaèi od mene, kome ja nijesam dostojan odriješiti remena na obuæi njegovoj; on æe vas krstiti Duhom svetijem i ognjem.
17 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.”
On ima lopatu u ruci svojoj, i oèistiæe gumno svoje, i skupiæe pšenicu svoju, a pljevu æe sažeæi ognjem vjeènijem.
18 With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.
I drugo mnogo koješta javlja narodu i napominja.
19 But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,
Iroda pak èetverovlasnika koraše Jovan za Irodijadu, ženu brata njegova, i za sva zla što uèini Irod;
20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
I svrh svega uèini i to te zatvori Jovana u tamnicu.
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,
A kad se krsti sav narod, i Isus pošto se krsti i moljaše se Bogu, otvori se nebo,
22 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.”
I siðe na nj Duh sveti u tjelesnome obliku kao golub, i èu se glas s neba govoreæi: ti si sin moj ljubazni, ti si po mojoj volji.
23 Jesus Himself was about thirty years old when He began His ministry. He was regarded as the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,
