< 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,
Uti femtonde årena af Tiberii Kejsaredöme, då Pontius Pilatus var landshöfding i Judeen, och Herodes var Tetrarcha i Galileen, och Philippus, hans broder, Tetrarcha i Itureen, och i den ängden Trachonitis, och Lysanias Tetrarcha 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,
Under de öfversta Presterna Hannas och Caiphas, kom Guds befallning till Johannes, Zacharie son, i öknene.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
Och han kom i alla den ängden vid Jordan, och predikade bättringenes döpelse, till syndernas förlåtelse;
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;
Såsom skrifvet är i den boken af Esaie Prophetens ordom, den der säger: Uti öknen är en ropandes röst: Bereder Herrans väg; görer hans stigar rätta.
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;
Alla dalar skola uppfyllas, och all berg och backar skola förnedras; och det krokot är, skall rätt varda, och det ojemnt är, skall vändas i släta vägar;
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
Och allt kött skall se Guds salighet.
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?
Så sade han då till folket, som utgick till att döpas af honom: I huggormars afföda, ho hafver eder föregifvit, att I undkomma skolen den tillkommande 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;
Görer fördenskull tillbörlig bättrings frukt; och tager eder icke före att säga vid eder sjelf: Vi hafve Abraham till fader; ty jag säger eder: Gud är mägtig uppväcka Abrahe söner af dessa stenar.
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.”
Och nu är allaredo yxen satt till rotena på trän; hvart och ett trä, som icke bär goda frukt, varder afhugget, och kastadt i elden.
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
Och folket frågade honom, sägande: Hvad skole vi då göra?
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.”
Svarade han, och sade till dem: Den der två kjortlar hafver, han gifve den som ingen hafver; och den der mat hafver, göre sammalunda.
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
Så kommo ock de Publicaner, till att döpas, och sade till honom: Mästar, hvad skole då vi göra?
13 And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
Sade han till dem: Kräfver icke mer ut, än eder förelagdt är.
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.”
Frågade ock krigsmän honom, sägande: Hvad skole då vi göra? Sade han till dem: Görer ingom öfvervåld och orätt, och låter eder nöja åt edor lön.
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Så begynte då folket hafva en gissan, och alle tänkte i sin hjerta om Johanne, om han icke var Christus.
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;
Då svarade Johannes, och sade till alla: Jag döper eder i vatten; men en varder kommandes, som starkare är än jag, hvilkens skoremmar jag icke värd är att upplösa; han skall döpa eder med den Helga Anda, och med eld;
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.”
Hvilkens kastoskofvel är uti hans hand, och han skall rensa sin loga, och församla hvetet uti sina lado; men agnarna skall han uppbränna uti evig eld.
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Och mång annor stycke förmanade han, och predikade för folket.
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,
Då Herodes Tetrarcha vardt straffad af honom, för Herodias, sins broders Philippi hustrus, skull, och för allt det onda, som Herodes gjorde;
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Öfver allt detta lade han Johannem i häktelse.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
Och det begaf sig, då allt folket lät sig döpa, och Jesus vardt ock döpt, och bad, öppnades himmelen.
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.”
Och den Helge Ande kom ned i lekamlig hamn, såsom en dufva, på honom; och en röst kom af himmelen, som sade: Du äst min älskelige Son; uti dig behagar mig.
