Lucas 3
1 Nang ikalabinglimang taon nga ng paghahari ni Tiberio Cesar, na noo'y gobernador sa Judea si Poncio Pilato, at tetrarka sa Galilea si Herodes, at ang kaniyang kapatid na si Felipe ay tetrarka sa lalawigan ng Iturea at Traconite, at si Lisanias ay tetrarka sa Abilinia,
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Nang kasalukuyang mga pangulong saserdote si Anas at si Caifas, ay dumating ang salita ng Dios kay Juan, anak ni Zacarias, sa ilang.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3 At siya'y napasa buong lupain sa palibotlibot ng Jordan, na ipinangangaral ang bautismo ng pagsisisi sa ikapagpapatawad ng mga kasalanan;
He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
4 Gaya ng nasusulat sa aklat ng salita ng propeta Isaias, Ang tinig ng isang sumisigaw sa ilang, Ihanda ninyo ang daan ng Panginoon, Tuwirin ninyo ang kaniyang mga landas.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.
5 Lahat ng libis ay tatambakan, At pababain ang bawa't bundok at burol; At ang liko ay matutuwid, At ang mga daang bakobako ay mangapapatag;
Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 At makikita ng lahat ng laman ang pagliligtas ng Dios.
And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”
7 Sinasabi nga niya sa mga karamihang nagsisilabas upang mangagpabautismo sa kaniya, Kayong lahi ng mga ulupong, sino ang sa inyo'y nagudyok upang tumakas sa galit na darating?
Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Kayo nga'y mangagbunga ng karapatdapat sa pagsisisi, at huwag mangagpasimulang mangagsabi sa inyong sarili, Si Abraham ang siya naming ama; sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo, na makapagpapabangon ang Dios ng mga anak ni Abraham maging sa mga batong ito.
Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
9 At ngayon pa'y nakalagay na ang palakol sa ugat ng mga punong kahoy: ang bawa't punong kahoy nga na di nagbubunga ng mabuti ay pinuputol, at inihahagis sa apoy.
The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 At tinanong siya ng karamihan, na nangagsasabi, Ano ngang dapat namin gawin?
The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
11 At sinagot niya at sinabi sa kanila, Ang may dalawang tunika ay magbahagi sa wala; at ang may pagkain ay gayon din ang gawin.
John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”
12 At dumating naman ang mga maniningil ng buwis upang mangagpabautismo, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Guro, anong dapat naming gawin?
Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
13 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Huwag na kayong sumingil pa ng higit kay sa utos sa inyo.
“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.
14 At tinanong naman siya ng mga kawal, na nangagsasabi, At kami, anong dapat naming gawin? At sa kanila'y sinabi niya, Huwag kayong kumuhang may karahasan sa kanino man, ni mangagparatang; at mangagkasiya kayo sa bayad sa inyo.
Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”
15 At samantalang ang mga tao'y nagsisipaghintay at pinagbubulaybulay ng lahat sa kanilang puso ang tungkol kay Juan, kung siya kaya ang Cristo;
The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.
16 Ay sumagot si Juan na sinasabi sa kanilang lahat, Katotohanang binabautismuhan ko kayo ng tubig; datapuwa't dumarating ang lalong makapangyarihan kay sa akin; ako'y hindi karapatdapat magkalag ng panali ng kaniyang mga pangyapak: kayo'y babautismuhan niya sa Espiritu Santo at sa apoy:
John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17 Nasa kaniyang kamay ang kaniyang kalaykay, upang linising lubos ang kaniyang giikan, at tipunin ang trigo sa kaniyang bangan; datapuwa't susunugin niya ang dayami sa apoy na hindi mapapatay.
His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Sa mga iba pang maraming pangaral ay ipinangangaral nga niya sa bayan ang mabuting balita;
With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.
19 Datapuwa't si Herodes na tetrarka, palibhasa'y pinagwikaan niya dahil kay Herodias, na asawa ng kaniyang kapatid, at dahil sa lahat ng masasamang bagay na ginawa ni Herodes,
But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,
20 Ay naparagdag naman ito sa lahat, na kinulong niya si Juan sa bilangguan.
Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
21 Nangyari nga, nang mabautismuhan ang buong bayan, na si Jesus ay binautismuhan naman, at nang nananalangin, ay nabuksan ang langit,
When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,
22 At bumaba sa kaniya ang Espiritu Santo na may anyong katawan, tulad sa isang kalapati, at nanggaling ang isang tinig sa langit, Ikaw ang sinisinta kong Anak; sa iyo ako lubos na nalulugod.
and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
