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 Jahr aber der Regierung des Kaisers Tiberius, als Pontius Pilatus Statthalter in Judäa war, und in Galiläa Herodes Tetrarch war, sein Bruder Philippus aber Tetrarch über Ituräa und das Trachonitische Land, und Lysanias Tetrarch über 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 Hohenpriester Annas und Kaiphas kam Gottes Wort an Johannes den Sohn des 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 und verkündete in der ganzen Umgegend des Jordan die Taufe der Buße zur Sündenvergebung,
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 Sprüche des Propheten Jesaias: Hört wie es ruft in der Wüste! Bereitet den Weg des Herrn, macht eben seine Pfade.
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;
Alle Schluchten sollen ausgefüllt, alle Berge und Hügel sollen erniedrigt werden, und alles krumme soll zu geraden, und die rauhen zu glatten Wegen werden,
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
und alles Fleisch soll 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?
So sagte er denn zu den Massen, die hinauszogen sich von ihm taufen zu lassen: ihr Otternbrut, wer hat euch darauf gebracht, ihr könnet dem kommenden Zorngericht entgehen?
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.
Nun so bringet würdige Früchte der Buße, und versuchet nicht bei euch selbst zu sagen: wir haben Abraham zum Vater: denn ich sage euch, Gott kann aus diesen Steinen dem Abraham Kinder erwecken.
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; so wird denn jeder Baum, der nicht gute Früchte bringt, abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Und die Massen fragten ihn: was sollen wir denn thun?
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 ihnen: wer zwei Röcke hat, teile mit dem, der keinen hat, und ebenso thue der, der Speisen hat.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Es kamen aber auch Zöllner sich taufen zu lassen und sagten zu ihm: Meister, was sollen wir thun?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Er aber sagte zu ihnen: Nehmet nicht mehr als wozu ihr angewiesen seid.
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 wir, was sollen wir thun? und er sagte zu ihnen: beunruhigt Niemanden, erpresset von niemand, und lasset euch genügen an eurem Solde.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Da aber das Volk in Erwartung war und alle sich ihre Gedanken machten in ihren Herzen über Johannes, ob er wohl selbst 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.
hob Johannes an und sagte zu allen: ich taufe euch mit Wasser; es kommt aber, der stärker ist als ich, für den ich nicht gut genug bin, ihm die Schuhriemen zu lösen, der wird euch mit heiligem Geist 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.
Er hat seine Wurfschaufel in der Hand, seine Tenne zu säubern, und den Weizen in seine Scheuer zu bringen. Die Spreu aber wird er verbrennen mit unverlöschlichem Feuer.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Unter vielen andern Ermahnungen noch verkündete er dem Volke die frohe 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,
Aber der Tetrarch Herodes, den er rügte wegen der Herodias, der Frau seines Bruders, und wegen alles Bösen was Herodes gethan hatte,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
fügte auch noch das zu allem, er sperrte den Johannes ins Gefängnis.
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 sich alles Volk taufen ließ, da auch Jesus getauft wurde und betete,
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.”
daß der Himmel sich aufthat und der Heilige Geist in leiblicher Gestalt wie eine Taube auf ihn herabfuhr und eine Stimme vom Himmel kam: du bist mein Sohn; ich habe dich heute gezeugt.
