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,
Aber im fünfzehnten Jahre der Regierung des Kaisers Tiberius, als Pontius Pilatus Landpfleger von Judäa war, und Herodes Vierfürst von Galiläa, und sein Bruder Philippus Vierfürst von Ituräa und der Landschaft Trachonitis, und Lysanias Vierfürst von Abilene,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
unter dem Hohenpriestertum von Annas und Kajaphas, geschah das Wort Gottes zu Johannes, dem Sohne Zacharias', in der Wüste.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Und er kam in die ganze Umgegend des Jordan und predigte die Taufe der Buße zur Vergebung der Sünden;
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!
wie geschrieben steht im Buche der Worte Jesaias', des Propheten: “Stimme eines Rufenden in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des Herrn, machet gerade seine Steige!
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;
Jedes Tal wird ausgefüllt und jeder Berg und Hügel erniedrigt werden, und das Krumme wird zum geraden Wege und die höckerichten zu ebenen Wegen werden;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
und alles Fleisch wird das Heil Gottes sehen”.
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?
Er sprach nun zu den Volksmengen, die hinausgingen, um von ihm getauft zu werden: Otternbrut! Wer hat euch gewiesen, dem kommenden Zorn zu entfliehen?
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.
Bringet nun der Buße würdige Früchte; und beginnet nicht, bei euch selbst zu sagen: Wir haben Abraham zum Vater; denn ich sage euch, daß Gott dem Abraham aus diesen Steinen Kinder zu erwecken vermag.
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.
Schon ist aber auch die Axt an die Wurzel der Bäume gelegt; jeder Baum nun, der nicht gute Frucht bringt, wird abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Und die Volksmengen fragten ihn und sprachen: Was sollen wir denn tun?
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.
Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Wer zwei Leibröcke hat, teile dem mit, der keinen hat; und wer Speise hat, tue gleicherweise.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Es kamen aber auch Zöllner, um getauft zu werden; und sie sprachen zu ihm: Lehrer, was sollen wir tun?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Fordert nicht mehr, als euch bestimmt ist.
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.
Es fragten ihn aber auch Kriegsleute und sprachen: Und wir, was sollen wir tun? Und er sprach zu ihnen: Tut niemand Gewalt, und klaget niemand fälschlich an, und begnüget euch mit eurem Solde.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Als aber das Volk in Erwartung war, und alle in ihren Herzen wegen Johannes überlegten, ob er nicht etwa der Christus sei,
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.
antwortete Johannes allen und sprach: Ich zwar taufe euch mit Wasser; es kommt aber, der stärker ist als ich, dessen ich nicht würdig bin, ihm den Riemen seiner Sandalen zu lösen; er wird euch mit Heiligem Geiste und Feuer taufen;
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.
dessen Worfschaufel in seiner Hand ist, und er wird seine Tenne durch und durch reinigen und den Weizen in seine Scheune sammeln; die Spreu aber wird er verbrennen mit unauslöschlichem Feuer.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Indem er nun auch mit vielem anderen ermahnte, verkündigte er dem Volke gute Botschaft.
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,
Herodes aber, der Vierfürst, weil er wegen der Herodias, des Weibes seines Bruders, und wegen alles Bösen, das Herodes getan hatte, von ihm gestraft wurde,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
fügte allem auch dies hinzu, daß er Johannes ins Gefängnis einschloß.
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,
Es geschah aber, als das ganze Volk getauft wurde, und Jesus getauft war und betete, daß der Himmel aufgetan wurde,
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.”
und der Heilige Geist in leiblicher Gestalt, wie eine Taube, auf ihn herabstieg, und eine Stimme aus dem Himmel kam: Du bist mein geliebter Sohn, an dir habe ich Wohlgefallen gefunden.
