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 aber der Regierung des Kaisers Tiberius, da Pontius Pilatus Landpfleger war von Judäa, und Herodes Vierfürst von Galiläa, sein Bruder, Philippus, aber Vierfürst von Ituräa und von der Gegend 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 den Hohenpriestern Hannas und Kajaphas geschah die Rede Gottes zu Johannes, dem 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 in all die 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 ist im Buch der Worte des Propheten Jesajas, der da sagt: Die Stimme eines Rufenden in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des Herrn, machet Seine Pfade gerade!
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;
Jegliches Tal soll ausgefüllt und aller Berg und Hügel erniedrigt, und was krumm ist, soll gerade, und was rauh ist, zu ebenen 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?
Er sprach nun zu dem Gedränge, das herauszog, um sich von ihm taufen zu lassen: Ihr Otterngezüchte, wer hat euch gewiesen, vor dem kommenden Zorn zu fliehen?
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.
So tut nun würdige Früchte der Buße und fanget nicht an, in euch 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 den Bäumen an die Wurzel gelegt. Jeglicher Baum nun, der nicht gute Frucht trägt, wird abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Und es fragte ihn das Gedränge und sprach: 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 antwortete aber und sprach zu ihnen: Wer zwei Röcke hat, der gebe dem ab, der keinen hat, und wer Speise hat, der tue ähnliches.
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 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 ein, denn euch verordnet 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 sagten: Und was sollen wir tun? Und er sprach zu ihnen: Tut niemand Gewalt an und gebet niemand fälschlich an, und lasset euch an eurem Solde genügen!
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Da das Volk aber in Erwartung war, und alle in ihrem Herzen von Johannes dachten, ob er nicht Christus wäre,
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 taufe euch zwar mit Wasser; aber es kommt ein Stärkerer denn ich, Dem ich nicht genugsam bin, die Riemen Seiner Schuhe zu lösen, Der wird euch mit Heiligem Geiste 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.
Der hat die Wurfschaufel in Seiner Hand, und wird Seine Tenne fegen, 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.
Vieles nun, auch anderes ermahnte er das Volk, da er die gute Botschaft verkündete.
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,
Der Vierfürst Herodes aber, der von ihm gerügt ward ob Herodias, seines Bruders Weib, und ob all des Übels, das Herodes getan,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Tat zu dem allen auch dieses hinzu, 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, da alles Volk sich taufen ließ, und Jesus Sich taufen ließ und betete, daß sich der Himmel 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 leibhafter Gestalt wie eine Taube auf Ihn herabstieg, und eine Stimme vom Himmel geschah und sprach: Du bist Mein geliebter Sohn! An Dir habe Ich Wohlgefallen.
