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 Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
En in het vijftiende jaar der regering van den keizer Tiberius, als Pontius Pilatus stadhouder was over Judea, en Herodes een viervorst over Galilea, en Filippus, zijn broeder, een viervorst over Iturea en over het land Trachonitis, en Lysanias een viervorst over Abilene;
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Onder de hogepriesters Annas en Kajafas, geschiedde het woord Gods tot Johannes, den zoon van Zacharias, in de woestijn.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
En hij kwam in al het omliggende land der Jordaan, predikende den doop der bekering tot vergeving 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.
Gelijk geschreven is in het boek der woorden van Jesaja, den profeet, zeggende: De stem des roependen in de woestijn: Bereidt den weg des Heeren, maakt Zijn paden recht!
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;
Alle dal zal gevuld worden, en alle berg en heuvel zal vernederd worden, en de kromme wegen zullen tot een rechten weg worden, en de oneffen tot effen wegen.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
En alle vlees zal de zaligheid Gods zien.
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 zeide dan tot de scharen, die uitkwamen, om van hem gedoopt te worden: Gij adderengebroedsels, wie heeft u aangewezen te vlieden van den toekomenden toorn?
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 dan vruchten voort der bekering waardig; en begint niet te zeggen bij uzelven: Wij hebben Abraham tot een vader; want ik zeg u, dat God zelfs uit deze stenen Abraham kinderen kan 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.
En de bijl ligt ook alrede aan den wortel der bomen; alle boom dan, die geen goede vrucht voortbrengt, wordt uitgehouwen, en in het vuur geworpen.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
En de scharen vraagden hem, zeggende: Wat zullen wij dan 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.
En hij, antwoordende, zeide tot hen: Die twee rokken heeft, dele hem mede, die geen heeft; en die spijze heeft, doe desgelijks.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
En er kwamen ook tollenaars om gedoopt te worden, en zeiden tot hem: Meester! wat zullen wij doen?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
En hij zeide tot hen: Eist niet meer, dan hetgeen u gezet is.
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.
En hem vraagden ook de krijgslieden, zeggende: En wij, wat zullen wij doen? En hij zeide tot hen: Doet niemand overlast, en ontvreemdt niemand het zijne met bedrog, en laat u vergenoegen met uw bezoldigingen.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
En als het volk verwachtte, en allen in hun harten overleiden van Johannes, of hij niet mogelijk de Christus ware;
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:
Zo antwoordde Johannes aan allen, zeggende: Ik doop u wel met water; maar Hij komt, Die sterker is dan ik, Wien ik niet waardig ben den riem van Zijn schoenen te ontbinden; Deze 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.
Wiens wan in Zijn hand is, en Hij zal Zijn dorsvloer doorzuiveren, en de tarwe zal Hij in Zijn schuur samenbrengen; maar het kaf zal Hij met onuitblusselijk vuur verbranden.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
Hij dan, ook nog vele andere dingen vermanende, verkondigde den volke het Evangelie.
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 als Herodes, de viervorst van hem bestraft werd, om Herodias' wil, de vrouw van Filippus, zijn broeder, en over alle boze stukken, die Herodes deed,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Zo heeft hij ook dit nog boven alles daar toegedaan, dat hij Johannes in de gevangenis gesloten heeft.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
En het geschiedde, toen al het volk gedoopt werd, en Jezus ook gedoopt was, en bad, dat de hemel geopend werd;
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 dat de Heilige Geest op Hem nederdaalde, in lichamelijke gedaante, gelijk een duif; en dat er een stem geschiedde uit den hemel, zeggende: Gij zijt Mijn geliefde Zoon, in U heb Ik Mijn welbehagen!
