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,
Im fünfzehnten Jahre der Regierung des Kaisers Tiberius, als Pontius Pilatus Statthalter Judäas war, Herodes Vierfürst von Galiläa, sein Bruder Philippus Vierfürst von Ituräa und der Landschaft Trachonitis, 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.
als Annas und Kaiphas Hohepriester waren, erging das Wort des Herrn an Johannes, den Sohn des Zacharias, in der Steppe.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Er durchzog die ganze Jordansau und predigte die Taufe der Bekehrung zur Nachlassung 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 Reden des Propheten Isaias: "Eine Stimme ruft in der Steppe: Richtet her den Weg des Herrn; machet seine Pfade eben.
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 soll ausgefüllt, jeder Berg und Hügel abgetragen werden; was krumm ist, soll gerade, was nicht eben, soll zu ebenem Wege werden,
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
und alles Fleisch wird das Heil Gottes schauen."
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?
Zu den Scharen, die hinausgezogen waren, um von ihm die Taufe zu empfangen, sagte er: "Ihr Schlangenbrut, wer hat euch eingeredet, ihr würdet dem drohenden Unheil entrinnen?
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.
Bringt Früchte würdig der Bekehrung. Denkt nicht: 'Wir haben Abraham zum Vater.' Ich sage euch: Gott kann aus diesen Steinen da Kinder für Abraham erstehen lassen.
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 liegt die Axt an der Wurzel der Bäume. Ein jeder Baum, der keine gute Frucht trägt, wird umgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen."
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Die Scharen fragten ihn: "Was sollen wir 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 sprach zu ihnen: "Wer zwei Röcke hat, gebe dem einen, der keinen hat, und wer Speise hat, mache es geradeso."
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Auch Zöllner kamen, um die Taufe zu empfangen; sie fragten ihn: "Meister, was sollen wir tun?"
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Er sprach zu ihnen: "Treibt nicht mehr ein, als was euch vorgeschrieben 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.
Auch Soldaten fragten ihn: "Was sollen wir tun?" Er antwortete ihnen: "Verübet gegen niemand Gewalt und Unbill und seid mit eurem Solde zufrieden."
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Das Volk war voll Erwartung, und alle dachten bei sich hin und her, ob Johannes nicht der Messias 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.
Indes Johannes sprach zu allen: "Ich taufe euch bloß mit Wasser; doch es kommt einer, der mächtiger ist als ich. Ich bin nicht wert, ihm seine Schuhriemen aufzubinden. Er wird euch mit dem Heiligen Geist und mit 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.
Er hat schon seine Schaufel in der Hand und wird seine Tenne reinigen; den Weizen wird er in seinen Speicher verbringen, die Spreu wird er in einem unauslöschlichen Feuer verbrennen."
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Noch viele andere Mahnungen trug er dem Volke als frohe Botschaft vor.
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,
Allein Herodes, der Vierfürst, den er zurechtgewiesen hatte wegen der Herodias, des Weibes seines Bruders, und wegen all der Schandtaten, die er verübt hatte,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
ließ noch zu all dem Johannes ins Gefängnis werfen.
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,
Als alles Volk sich taufen ließ und Jesus nach der Taufe betete, da tat sich der Himmel auf;
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.”
der Heilige Geist stieg auf ihn in leiblicher Gestalt wie eine Taube nieder. Und eine Stimme kam vom Himmel her: "Du bist mein geliebter Sohn; an dir habe ich mein Wohlgefallen."
