Лука 3
1 У петнаестој години владања ћесара Тиверија, кад беше Понтије Пилат судија у Јудеји, и Ирод четворовласник у Галилеји, а Филип брат његов четворовласник у Итуреји и у трахонитској, и Лисанија четворовласник у Авилини,
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,
2 За поглавара свештеничких Ане и Кајафе, рече Бог Јовану сину Заријином у пустињи,
when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
3 И дође у сву околину јорданску проповедајући крштење покајања за опроштење греха;
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Као што је написано у књизи речи пророка Исаије који говори: Глас оног што виче у пустињи: Приправите пут Господњи; поравните стазе Његове;
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!
5 Све долине нека се испуне, и све горе и брегови нека се слегну; и шта је криво нека буде право, и храпави путеви нека буду глатки;
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;
6 И свако ће тело видети спасење Божије.
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
7 Јован, пак, говораше људима који излажаху да их крсти: Породи аспидини! Ко вам каза да бежите од гнева који иде?
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?
8 Родите дакле родове достојне покајања, и не говорите у себи: Оца имамо Авраама; јер вам кажем да Бог може и од овог камења подигнути децу Аврааму.
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.
9 Јер већ и секира стоји дрвету код корена; и свако дрво које добар род не рађа сече се и у огањ се баца.
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.
10 И питаху га људи говорећи: Шта ћемо дакле чинити?
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 Он пак одговарајући рече им: Који има две хаљине нека да једну ономе који нема; и ко има хране нека чини тако.
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.
12 Дођоше пак и цариници да их крсти, и рекоше му: Учитељу! Шта ћемо чинити?
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
13 А он им рече: Не тражите више него што вам је речено.
And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
14 Питаху га пак и војници говорећи: А ми шта ћемо чинити? И рече им: Никоме да не чините силе нити кога да опадате, и будите задовољни својом платом.
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.
15 А кад народ беше у сумњи и помишљаху сви у срцима својим за Јована: Да није он Христос?
And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
16 Одговараше Јован свима говорећи: Ја вас крстим водом; али иде за мном јачи од мене, коме ја нисам достојан одрешити ремен на обући Његовој; Он ће вас крстити Духом Светим и огњем.
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.
17 Он има лопату у руци својој, и очистиће гумно своје, и скупиће пшеницу своју, а плеву ће сажећи огњем вечним.
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.
18 И друго много којешта јавља народу и напомиња.
And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
19 Ирода пак четворовласника кораше Јован за Иродијаду, жену брата његовог, и за сва зла што учини Ирод;
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,
20 И сврх свега учини и то те затвори Јована у тамницу.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 А кад се крсти сав народ, и Исус пошто се крсти и мољаше се Богу, отвори се небо,
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,
22 И сиђе на Њ Дух Свети у телесном облику као голуб, и чу се глас с неба говорећи: Ти си Син мој љубазни, Ти си по мојој вољи.
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.”
