Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Men i Kejser Tiberius's femtende Regeringsaar, 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 [and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
medens Annas og Kajfas vare Ypperstepræster, kom Guds Ord til Johannes, Sakarias's Søn, i Ørkenen.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
Og han gik ud i hele Omegnen om Jordan og prædikede Omvendelses-Daab til Syndernes Forladelse,
4 as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare 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 raaber i Ørkenen: Bereder Herrens Vej, gører hans Stier jævne;
5 Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
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 will see the salvation of God.”
og alt Kød skal se Guds Frelse.‟
7 Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
Han sagde altsaa til de Skarer, som gik ud for at døbes af ham: „I Øgleunger! hvem har lært eder at fly fra den kommende Vrede?
8 Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
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 Stene.
9 and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
Men Øksen ligger ogsaa allerede ved Roden af Træerne; saa bliver da hvert Træ, som ikke bærer god Frugt, omhugget og kastet i Ilden.‟
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
Og Skarerne spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad skulle vi da gøre?‟
11 And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Den, som har to Kjortler, dele med den, som ingen har; og den, som har Mad, gøre ligesaa!‟
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
Men ogsaa 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 directed you.”
Men han sagde til dem: „Kræver intet ud over, hvad eder er forordnet.‟
14 And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
Men ogsaa 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 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Men da Folket var i Forventning, og alle tænkte i deres Hjerter om Johannes, om ikke han skulde være Kristus,
16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and 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 Helligaand og Ild.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Hans Kasteskovl er i hans Haand, for at han skal gennemrense sin Lo og sanke Hveden i sin Lade, men Avnerne skal han opbrænde med uslukkelig Ild.‟
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Ligesaa formanede han ogsaa Folket om mange andre Ting og forkyndte dem Evangeliet.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that 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 also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
saa føjede han til alt det øvrige ogsaa dette, at han kastede Johannes i Fængsel.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
Men medens hele Folket blev døbt, skete det, da ogsaa Jesus var bleven døbt og bad, at Himmelen aabnedes,
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
og at den Helligaand 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.‟
