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,
Oli keiser Tiberiuse viieteistkümnes valitsusaasta. Pontius Pilaatus oli Juudamaa maavalitseja ja Heroodes Galilea nelivürst, tema vend Filippus Iturea ja Trakoniitise nelivürst ja Lüsaanias Abileene nelivürst
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
ning ülempreestrid olid Hannas ja Kaifas. Sel ajal tuli Jumala sõna kõrbes Sakariase pojale Johannesele.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Ta käis läbi kogu Jordani ümbruskonna ja kuulutas meeleparandusristimist pattude andeksandmiseks.
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!
Nõnda nagu on kirjutatud prohvet Jesaja sõnade raamatusse: „Hüüdja hääl on kõrbes: „Valmistage Issandale tee, tehke tasaseks tema teerajad!
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;
Kõik orud täidetagu ning kõik mäed ja kingud tasandatagu, kõverad teed saagu sirgeks ja konarlikud rajad tasaseks.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Ja kõik inimesed saavad näha Jumala päästet.““
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?
Johannes ütles nüüd rahvale, kes oli tulnud, et lasta ennast temal ristida: „Rästikute sugu, kes teile andis märku põgeneda saabuva viha eest?
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.
Seepärast kandke meeleparandusele kohast vilja ja ärge hakake endamisi ütlema: „Meie isa on Aabraham!“Sest ma ütlen teile, Jumal võib nendest kividest äratada lapsi Aabrahamile.
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.
Kirves on ka juba pandud puude juurte külge. Iga puu, mis ei kanna head vilja, raiutakse maha ja visatakse tulle.“
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Inimesed küsisid Johanneselt: „Mida me siis peame tegema?“
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.
Ta vastas: „Kellel on kaks särki, andku sellele, kellel ei ole, ning kellel on toitu, tehku samuti.“
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Isegi maksukogujaid tuli, et lasta ennast ristida. Nad küsisid: „Õpetaja, mida me peame tegema?“
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Johannes ütles neile: „Ärge võtke rohkem, kui teile on määratud!“
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.
Ja temalt küsisid ka sõdurid: „Ja meie, mida meie peame tegema?“Ta vastas neile: „Ärge pressige raha välja ja ärge süüdistage inimesi alusetult, olge rahul oma palgaga!“
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Rahvas oli täis ootust ja kõik arvasid oma südames, et ehk Johannes ongi Messias.
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.
Siis vastas ta kõikidele: „Mina ristin teid veega, kuid tuleb minust vägevam, kelle sandaalegi ma pole väärt lahti siduma. Tema ristib teid Püha Vaimu ja tulega.
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.
Tal on tuulamiskühvel käes ja ta teeb puhtaks oma rehealuse. Ta kogub nisu aita, aga aganad ta põletab ära kustumatu tulega.“
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Ja veel paljude muude sõnadega manitses Johannes inimesi ja kuulutas neile head sõnumit.
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,
Aga kui nelivürst Heroodes sai Johannese käest noomida oma venna Filippuse naise Heroodiase ja kõige muu kurja pärast, mida ta oli teinud,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
tegi Heroodes veel sedagi, et pani Johannese vangi.
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,
Kui kogu rahvast ristiti, siis ristiti ka Jeesus. Ja kui ta palvetas, avanes taevas
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.”
ja Püha Vaim laskus tema peale ihulikul kujul kui tuvi. Ja taevast kostis hääl: „Sina oled minu Poeg, keda ma armastan, sinu üle on mul hea meel!“
