Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the tetrarch of Abilene,
In het vijftiende jaar nu der regeering van keizer Tiberius, als Pontius Pilatus stadhouder was over Judea, Herodes viervorst over Galilea, en Filippus zijn broeder viervorst over Iturea en het land van Trachonitis, en Lysanias viervorst over Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
ten tijde van het hoogepriesterschap van Annas en Kajafas, geschiedde het woord Gods tot Johannes, den zoon van Zacharias, in de woestijn.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
En hij kwam in den geheelen omtrek van den Jordaan, predikende den doop der boetvaardigheid tot vergiffenis van zonden,
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.
gelijk geschreven is in het boek der woorden van Jesaja den profeet: Een stem van een die roept in de woestijn: Bereidt den weg des Heeren, maakt recht zijn paden;
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;
ieder dal zal gevuld worden, en iedere berg en heuvel zal verlaagd worden, en wat krom is zal recht en de oneffene wegen zullen tot gebaande worden,
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
en alle vleesch zal de verlossing Gods zien.
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?
Hij zeide dan tot de scharen die uitgingen om van hem gedoopt te worden: Gij adderengebroed, wie heeft u aangewezen te vlieden van den toekomenden toorn?
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.
brengt dan vruchten voort, der boetvaardigheid waardig; en begint niet met bij u zelven te zeggen: Wij hebben Abraham tot vader! want ik zeg u dat God uit deze steenen aan Abraham kinderen kan verwekken;
9 And now also the ax 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.
en de bijl ligt ook reeds aan den wortel der boomen; iedere boom dus, die geen goede vrucht voortbrengt, wordt omgehouwen en in het vuur geworpen.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
En de scharen vroegen hem, zeggende: Wat moeten wij dan doen?
11 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.
En hij antwoordde en zeide tot hen: Die twee rokken heeft deele mede aan die er geen heeft, en die spijze heeft doe evenzoo.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Er kwamen ook tollenaars om gedoopt te worden, en zij zeiden tot hem: Meester, wat moeten wij doen?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
En hij zeide tot hen: Eischt niet meer dan u gesteld is.
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.
En ook soldaten vroegen hem, zeggende: En wat moeten wij doen? en hij zeide tot hen: Doet niemand geweld of onrecht aan, en weest tevreden met uw krijgsloon.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Daar nu het volk in verwachting was, en allen in hun harten overpeinsden of Johannes misschien niet de Christus zou zijn,
16 John answered, saying to [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
antwoordde Johannes, zeggende tot allen: Ik doop u wel met water; maar Hij komt, die machtiger is dan ik, wien ik niet waardig ben zijn schoenriemen los te maken; die zal u doopen met den Heiligen Geest en met vuur.
17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Zijn wan is in zijn hand om zijn dorschvloer geheel te zuiveren en het koren te verzamelen in zijn schuur, maar het kaf zal Hij verbranden met onuitbluschbaar vuur.
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
En nog veel andere vermaningen gevende verkondigde hij den volke het Evangelie.
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,
Maar Herodes de viervorst, door Johannes bestraft zijnde om Herodias, de huisvrouw zijns broeders, en om al de slechte dingen die Herodes deed,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
heeft dit nog bij al het andere gevoegd, dat hij Johannes in de gevangenis opsloot.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Het geschiedde nu toen al het volk gedoopt werd, en ook Jezus gedoopt en biddende was, dat de hemel werd geopend,
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.
en dat de Heilige Geest, in lichamelijke gedaante, zooals een duive, op Hem nederdaalde, en dat er een stem uit den hemel kwam: Gij zijt mijn Zoon, de Beminde: in U heb Ik welbehagen!
