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 Landpfleger in Judäa, und Herodes Vierfürst in Galiläa, und Philippus, sein Bruder, Vierfürst in Ituräa und Trachonitis, und Lysanias Vierfürst in Abilene war,
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 Hannas und Kaiphas, geschah das Wort Gottes zu Johannes, dem Sohn 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 Gesinnungsänderung 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 Buch der Reden Jesaias, des Propheten, der da spricht: "Stimme eines Rufenden in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des Herrn! Machet 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;
Jedes Tal soll ausgefüllt, und jeder Berg und Hügel erniedrigt werden, und was krumm ist, soll gerade, und was höckrig ist, soll ebener Weg 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?
Er sagte nun zu den Volkshaufen, die hinausgingen, daß sie von ihm getauft würden: Ihr Otterngezücht! 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.
Schaffet nun Früchte würdig der Gesinnungsänderung, und fanget nicht an zu sagen bei euch selbst: 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.
Es ist aber schon die Axt an die Wurzel der Bäume gelegt; jeder Baum nun, der nicht gute Frucht bringt, der wird abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Und es frugen ihn die Volkshaufen, 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 spricht zu ihnen: Wer zwei Röcke hat, der gebe dem, welcher nicht hat, und wer Speise hat, tue gleich also!
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Es kamen aber auch Zöllner, daß sie getauft würden, und sprachen zu ihm: Lehrer, was sollen wir tun?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Und er sprach zu ihnen: Fordert nicht mehr, denn das euch Festgesetzte.
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 frugen ihn aber auch Kriegsleute, und sprachen: Und wir, was sollen wir tun? Und er sprach zu ihnen: Tut niemand Gewalt, noch Unrecht, und begnüget euch mit eurem Sold.
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 von Johannes dachten, ob nicht er 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.
Antwortete Johannes, und sprach zu allen: Ich zwar taufe euch mit Wasser, es kommt aber ein Stärkerer, als ich, dessen Schuhriemen aufzulösen ich nicht gut genug bin; der wird euch in 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 Wurfschaufel ist in seiner Hand, und er wird seine Tenne reinigen, und den Weizen in seine Scheune sammeln, die Spreu aber mit unauslöschlichem Feuer verbrennen. -
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Auch noch viel anderes vermahnte er, und verkündigte die frohe Botschaft dem 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,
Herodes aber, der Vierfürst, da er von ihm gestraft ward um Herodias willen, seines Bruders Weib, und um all des Bösen willen, das er getan,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Tat auch das noch zu allem, daß er den 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 alles Volk getauft wurde, und auch Jesus sich taufen ließ, und betete, daß der Himmel sich auftat;
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 herabfuhr, und eine Stimme aus dem Himmel kam, und sprach: du bist mein geliebter Sohn, an dir habe ich Wohlgefallen.
