Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip being tetrarch of the region belonging to Ituraea, and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,
I det femtande styringsåret åt keisar Tiberius, med Pontius Pilatus var landshovding i Judæa, og Herodes fylkeskonge i Galilæa, og Filip, bror hans, fylkeskonge i Ituræa- og Trakonitis-landet, og Lysanias fylkeskonge i Abilene,
2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to be in John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
og med Annas og Kajafas var øvsteprestar, kom Guds ord til Johannes, son åt Zakarja, i øydemarki.
3 And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins,
Då for han kring i heile Jordan-kverven, og ropa ut umvendingsdåp til forlating for synderne,
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, which says, The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
som skrive stend i spådomsboki åt Jesaja, profeten: «Høyr han som ropar i heidi: «Rydje vegen for Herren, jamne stigarne hans!
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked things will be into straight and the rough into smooth ways.
Kvart djuv skal fyllast, kvart fjell skal lægjast, og kvar ein haug; beint skal det verta det som krokut var, staupute vegen han skal verta slett,
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
og kvart eit liv Guds frelsa skoda skal.»»
7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, Ye offspring of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?
Som no folket kom ut og vilde få honom til å døypa seg, sagde han til deim: «Orme-ungar, kven lærde dykk å røma frå vreiden som skal koma?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Ber då frukter som høver med umvendingi, og gjev dykk ikkje til å tenkja som so: «Me hev Abraham til far!» for eg segjer dykk at Gud kann vekkja upp born åt Abraham av desse steinarne.
9 And even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore not making good fruit is cut down, and cast into fire.
Øksi ligg alt innmed roti på treet; kvart tre som ikkje ber god frukt, vert hogge ned og kasta på elden.»
10 And the crowds questioned him, saying, What then shall we do?
«Kva skal me då gjera?» spurde folket.
11 And having answered, he says to them, He who has two coats, let him share with him not having, and he who has food, let him do likewise.
Han svara deim: «Den som hev tvo trøyor, skal skifta med den som ingi hev, og den som hev mat, skal gjera sameleis.»
12 And tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?
Det kom og nokre tollmenner som vilde døypast, og sagde: «Meister, kva skal me gjera?»
13 And he said to them, Collect not one thing more than from what has been appointed for you.
«Krev ikkje meir enn de er fyresagde!» svara han.
14 And men who were soldiers also questioned him, saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.
Like eins var det nokre hermenner som spurde honom: «Kva skal då me gjera?» Då svara han: «De skal ikkje plåga folk eller truga pengar utav deim! De skal nøgja dykk med løni dykkar!»
15 And as the people were expectant, and all pondering in their hearts about John, if perhaps he was the Christ,
Men folket gjekk i venting, og alle tenkte um Johannes: «Tru han er Messias?»
16 John responded, saying to them all, I indeed immerse you in water, but a man mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the strap of his shoes. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire,
Då tok han til ords og sagde til alle: «Eg døyper dykk med vatn; men det kjem ein som er sterkare enn eg - eg er ikkje verdig å løysa skobandet hans; han skal døypa dykk med den Heilage Ande og eld.
17 whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
Han hev kasteskovli i handi, og skal gjera av låven sin, og samla kornet i stabburet sitt; men agnerne skal han brenna i ein eld som aldri sloknar.»
18 Indeed therefore, also exhorting the people with many other things, he preached the good news.
Dette og mykje anna lagde han folket på hjarta, og kunngjorde evangeliet åt deim.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all of which evil things Herod had done,
Men då han tala til Herodes, fylkeskongen, for giftarmålet med Herodias, brorkona hans, og for alt det vonde han hadde gjort,
20 also added this to them all, he even locked up John in prison.
so gjorde Herodes det og attpå alt, at han sette Johannes i fengsel.
21 Now it came to pass, during the immersion of all the people, Jesus also having been immersed and praying, for the heaven to be opened,
Då no alt folket vart døypt, og Jesus og var døypt, då hende det, med han bad, at himmelen opna seg,
22 and the Holy Spirit to descend in a bodily form as a dove upon him, and a voice to occur out of heaven, saying, Thou are my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased.
og den Heilage Ande dala ned yver honom i duveham, og det kom ei røyst frå himmelen: «Du er son min, som eg elskar; deg hev eg hugnad i.»
