Lukas 3
1 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,
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,
2 unter dem Hohenpriester Annas und Kaiphas kam Gottes Wort an Johannes den Sohn des Zacharias in der Wüste,
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word (rhema) of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 und er kam und verkündete in der ganzen Umgegend des Jordan die Taufe der Buße zur Sündenvergebung,
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 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.
As it is written in the book of the words (logos) of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare all of you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Alle Schluchten sollen ausgefüllt, alle Berge und Hügel sollen erniedrigt werden, und alles krumme soll zu geraden, und die rauhen zu glatten Wegen werden,
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;
6 und alles Fleisch soll das Heil Gottes sehen.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 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?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 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.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 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.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Und die Massen fragten ihn: was sollen wir denn thun?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Er aber antwortete ihnen: wer zwei Röcke hat, teile mit dem, der keinen hat, und ebenso thue der, der Speisen hat.
He answers and says unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
12 Es kamen aber auch Zöllner sich taufen zu lassen und sagten zu ihm: Meister, was sollen wir thun?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Er aber sagte zu ihnen: Nehmet nicht mehr als wozu ihr angewiesen seid.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 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.
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 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,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 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.
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) and with fire:
17 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.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Unter vielen andern Ermahnungen noch verkündete er dem Volke die frohe Botschaft.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Aber der Tetrarch Herodes, den er rügte wegen der Herodias, der Frau seines Bruders, und wegen alles Bösen was Herodes gethan hatte,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 fügte auch noch das zu allem, er sperrte den Johannes ins Gefängnis.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Es geschah aber, als sich alles Volk taufen ließ, da auch Jesus getauft wurde und betete,
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 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.
And the Holy Spirit (pneuma) descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.
