Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
О И множествата го питаха, казвайки: Тогава какво да правим?
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
при първосвещенството на Анна Каиафа, Божието слово дойде до Иоана, Захариевия син, в пустинята.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
И той отиваше по цялата страна около Йордан и проповядваше кръщение на покаяние за прощаване на греховете,
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
както е писано в книгата с думите на пророк Исаия:
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Всяка долина ще се напълни. И всяка планина и хълм ще се сниши; Кривите пътеки ще станат прави, И неравните места
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
И всяка твар ще види Божието спасение.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
И тъй, той казваше на множествата, които излизаха да се кръщават от него: Рожби ехиднини! Кой ви предупреди да бягате от идещия гняв?
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 of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Прочее, принасяйте плодове, достойни за покаяние; и не почвайте да си думате, имаме Авраама за баща; защото ви казвам, че Бог може и от тия камъни да въздигне чада на Авраама.
9 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
А и брадвата лежи вече при корена на дърветата: и тъй, всяко дърво, което не дава добър плод, отсича се и в огън се хвърля.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
И множествата го питаха, казвайки: Тогава какво да правим?
11 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
А той в отговор им рече: Който има две ризи, нека даде на този, който няма; и който има храна, нека прави същото.
12 Then came also tax collectors to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Дойдоха и бирниците да се кръстят, и му рекоха: Учителю, ние какво да правим?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Той им каза: Не изисквайте нищо повече от това, що ви е определено.
14 And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
Питаха го и военослужащи, казвайки: а ние какво да правим? Каза им: Не насилвайте никого, нито наклеветявайте; и задоволявайте се със заплатите си.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
И понеже людете бяха в недоумение, и всички размишляваха в сърцата си за Иоана, да не би той да е Христос,
16 John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you in water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
Иоан отговори на всички, като каза: Аз ви кръщавам с вода, но иде Оня, Който е по-силен от мене, Комуто не съм достоен да развържа ремъка на обущата Му; Той ще ви кръсти със Святия Дух и с огън.
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Той държи лопатата в ръката Си, за да очисти добре гумното Си и да събере житото в житницата Си; а плявата ще изгори в неугасимия огън.
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
И с много други увещания той благовестяваше на людете.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
А четверовластникът Ирод, бидейки изобличаван от него, поради Иродиада, братовата си жена, и поради всичките други злини, които беше сторил Ирод,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
прибави над всичко друго и това, че затвори Иоана в тъмницата.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
И когато се кръстиха всичките люде, като се кръсти и Исус и се молеше, отвори се небето,
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
и Святият Дух слезе върху Него в телесен образ като гълъб, и глас дойде от небето, който казваше: Ти си Моят възлюбен Син; в тебе е Моето благоволение.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being ( as was supposed ) the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,
