Luke 3
1 NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituræa and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
In het vijftiende regeringsjaar van keizer Tiberius, toen Pontius Pilatus landvoogd was van Judea, Herodes viervorst van Galilea, zijn broer Filippus viervorst van Iturea en het gewest Trachonitis, en Lusánias viervorst van Abilene.
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
onder den hogepriester Annas en Káifas, kwam Gods woord tot Johannes, den zoon van Zakarias, in de woestijn.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Toen trad hij op in heel de omtrek van de Jordaan, en preekte een doopsel van boetvaardigheid tot vergiffenis der zonden;
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
zoals geschreven staat in het boek der voorspellingen van den profeet Isaias: De stem van een roepende in de woestijn. Bereidt de weg des Heren, Maakt recht zijn paden.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Elk ravijn zal worden gedempt, Iedere berg en heuvel worden geslecht; De kronkelpaden zullen recht, De oneffene wegen effen worden.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
En alle vlees zal zien Gods heil.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Hij sprak dus tot de scharen, die uitliepen, om door hem te worden gedoopt: Adderenbroed, wie heeft u geleerd, de komende wraak te ontvluchten?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Brengt dus waardige vruchten van boetvaardigheid voort: en gaat niet zeggen bij uzelf: We hebben Abraham tot vader. Want ik zeg u, dat God de macht heeft, om uit deze stenen voor Abraham kinderen te verwekken.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Reeds ligt de bijl aan de wortel der bomen. Iedere boom, die geen goede vruchten draagt, wordt omgehouwen, en in het vuur geworpen.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Het volk ondervroeg hem en sprak: Wat moeten we doen?
11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
Hij gaf hun ten antwoord: Wie twee paar kleren heeft, moet delen met hem, die er geen heeft; en wie te eten heeft, moet hetzelfde doen.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Ook tollenaars kwamen ten doop, en zeiden hem: Meester, wat moeten wij doen?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Hij zei hun: Vordert niet meer, dan wat is vastgesteld.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
Ook soldaten ondervroegen hem, en zeiden: En wij, wat moeten wij doen? Hij zei hun: Doet niemand overlast aan, maakt u niet aan afpersing schuldig, en weest tevreden met uw soldij.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
Maar toen het volk in spanning kwam, en allen zich begonnen af te vragen, of Johannes misschien de Christus kon zijn.
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
verklaarde Johannes aan allen: Ik voor mij doop u met water, maar er komt er Een, die machtiger is dan ik: ik ben niet waardig, zijn schoenriem los te maken. Hij zal u dopen met den Heiligen Geest en met vuur.
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Hij heeft zijn wan in de hand, en Hij zal zijn dorsvloer zuiveren: de tarwe verzamelen in zijn schuur, maar het kaf verbranden in onuitblusbaar vuur.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
Zo bracht hij, met nog veel andere vermaningen, de blijde boodschap aan het volk.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Maar toen de viervorst Herodes door hem werd berispt naar aanleiding van Heródias, de vrouw van zijn broer, en over al de misdaden die hij had bedreven,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
voegde Herodes nog dit er aan toe, dat hij Johannes in de kerker sloot.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Toen nu al het volk zich liet dopen, en ook Jesus gedoopt was, ging eensklaps, terwijl Hij aan het bidden was, de hemel open,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
en daalde de Heilige Geest in lichamelijke gedaante als een duif op Hem neer. En er klonk een stem uit de hemel: Gij zijt mijn welbeminde Zoon; in U heb Ik welbehagen.
