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,
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 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, 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 the 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 Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
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 made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways 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 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?
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 for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to 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 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.
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 multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Het volk ondervroeg hem en sprak: Wat moeten we doen?
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.
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 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Ook tollenaars kwamen ten doop, en zeiden hem: Meester, wat moeten wij doen?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Hij zei hun: Vordert niet meer, dan wat is vastgesteld.
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.
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 while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Maar toen het volk in spanning kwam, en allen zich begonnen af te vragen, of Johannes misschien de Christus kon zijn.
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.
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 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.
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 giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to 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 on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds 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 this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
voegde Herodes nog dit er aan toe, dat hij Johannes in de kerker sloot.
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,
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 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.”
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.
