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,
I det femtende år av keiser Tiberius' regjering, mens Pontius Pilatus var landshøvding i Judea, og Herodes fjerdingsfyrste i Galilea, og hans bror Filip fjerdingsfyrste i det itureiske og trakonittiske land, og Lysanias fjerdingsfyrste i Abilene,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
mens Annas og Kaifas var yppersteprester, da kom Guds ord til Johannes, Sakarias' sønn, i ørkenen;
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
og han kom rundt i hele landet om Jordan og forkynte omvendelses dåp til syndenes forlatelse,
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!
således som det er skrevet i profeten Esaias' talers bok: Det er en røst av en som roper i ørkenen: Rydd Herrens vei, gjør hans stier jevne!
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;
Hver dal skal fylles, og hvert fjell og hver haug skal senkes, og det krokete skal rettes, og de knudrete veier jevnes,
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
og alt kjød skal se Guds frelse.
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?
Han sa da til folket som drog ut for å døpes av ham: Ormeyngel! hvem lærte eder å fly for den kommende vrede?
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.
Bær derfor frukter som er omvendelsen verdige, og gi eder ikke til å si ved eder selv: Vi har Abraham til far! for jeg sier eder at Gud kan opvekke Abraham barn av disse stener.
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.
Øksen ligger også allerede ved roten av trærne; derfor blir hvert tre som ikke bærer god frukt, hugget ned og kastet på ilden.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Og folket spurte ham: Hvad skal vi da gjøre?
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.
Han svarte dem: Den som har to kjortler, skal dele med den som ingen har, og den som har mat, skal gjøre likeså!
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Men også toldere kom for å døpes, og de sa til ham: Mester! hvad skal vi gjøre?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Han sa til dem: Krev ikke mere enn hvad eder er foreskrevet!
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.
Men også krigsfolk spurte ham og sa: Og vi, hvad skal vi gjøre? Og han sa til dem: Press ikke penger ut av nogen ved vold eller ved svik, og la eder nøie med eders lønn!
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Men da folket gikk i forventning, og alle tenkte i sitt hjerte på Johannes, om ikke han var Messias,
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.
da svarte Johannes og sa til alle: Jeg døper eder med vann; men den kommer som er sterkere enn jeg, han hvis skorem jeg ikke er verdig til å løse; han skal døpe eder med den Hellige Ånd og ild;
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.
han har sin kasteskovl i sin hånd, og han skal rense sin låve og samle hveten i sin lade, men agnene skal han brenne op med uslukkelig ild.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Også mange andre formaninger gav han folket, og forkynte dem evangeliet.
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,
Men fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes, som blev refset av ham for sin brorkone Herodias' skyld, og for alt det onde Herodes hadde gjort,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
han la også dette til alt det andre, at han kastet Johannes i fengsel.
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,
Men det skjedde da alt folket lot sig døpe, og Jesus var blitt døpt og bad, da åpnet himmelen sig,
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.”
og den Hellige Ånd kom ned over ham i legemlig skikkelse, som en due, og en røst kom fra himmelen: Du er min Sønn, den elskede; i dig har jeg velbehag.
