Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, 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 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
medens Annas og Kajfas vare Ypperstepræster, kom Guds Ord til Johannes, Sakarias's Søn, i Ørkenen.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Og han gik ud i hele Omegnen om Jordan og prædikede Omvendelses-Daab til Syndernes Forladelse,
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
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 shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
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 shall see the salvation of God.”
og alt Kød skal se Guds Frelse.”
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned 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 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
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 already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the 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 asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Og Skarerne spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad skulle vi da gøre?”
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
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 came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must 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 hath been ordered you.
Men han sagde til dem: „Kræver intet ud over, hvad eder er forordnet.”
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one 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 while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were 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 and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in 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 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up 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 giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Ligesaa formanede han ogsaa Folket om mange andre Ting og forkyndte dem Evangeliet.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
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 this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
saa føjede han til alt det øvrige ogsaa dette, at han kastede Johannes i Fængsel.
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the 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 descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
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.”
