Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituræa and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
A w piętnastym roku panowania cesarza Tyberiusza, gdy Poncjusz Piłat był namiestnikiem Judei, Herod tetrarchą Galilei, jego brat Filip tetrarchą Iturei i ziemi Trachonu, a Lizaniasz tetrarchą Abileny;
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Za najwyższych kapłanów Annasza i Kajfasza doszło słowo Boże do Jana, syna Zachariasza, na pustyni.
3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
I obchodził całą okolicę nad Jordanem, głosząc chrzest pokuty na przebaczenie grzechów.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
Jak jest napisane w księdze słów proroka Izajasza: Głos wołającego na pustyni: Przygotujcie drogę Pana, prostujcie jego ścieżki.
5 Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
Każda dolina będzie wypełniona, a każda góra i pagórek będą obniżone; to, co krzywe, wyprostuje się, a wyboiste drogi będą gładkie.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
I ujrzy wszelkie ciało zbawienie Boże.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Mówił więc do tłumów, które przychodziły, aby ich ochrzcił: Plemię żmijowe, któż was ostrzegł, żebyście uciekali przed przyszłym gniewem?
8 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.
Wydajcie więc owoce godne pokuty i nie zaczynajcie sobie wmawiać: Naszym ojcem jest Abraham. Mówię wam bowiem, że Bóg i z tych kamieni może wzbudzić dzieci Abrahamowi.
9 And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
A już siekiera do korzenia drzew jest przyłożona. Każde drzewo, które nie wydaje dobrego owocu, zostaje wycięte i wrzucone w ogień.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
I pytali go ludzie: Cóż więc mamy czynić?
11 And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
A on im odpowiedział: Kto ma dwie szaty, niech da temu, który nie ma, a kto ma pożywienie, niech uczyni tak samo.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
Przyszli też celnicy, aby się ochrzcić, i pytali go: Nauczycielu, cóż mamy czynić?
13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
A on im odpowiedział: Nie pobierajcie nic więcej ponad to, co wam wyznaczono.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse [any one] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
Pytali go też żołnierze: A my co mamy czynić? I odpowiedział im: Wobec nikogo nie używajcie przemocy, [nikogo] fałszywie nie oskarżajcie i poprzestawajcie na waszym żołdzie.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
A gdy ludzie trwali w oczekiwaniu i wszyscy myśleli w swych sercach o Janie, czy może on nie jest Chrystusem;
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:
Odpowiedział Jan wszystkim: Ja was chrzczę wodą, lecz idzie mocniejszy ode mnie, któremu nie jestem godny rozwiązać rzemyka u jego sandałów. On będzie was chrzcił Duchem Świętym i ogniem.
17 whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
[Ma] on swoje wiejadło w ręku i wyczyści swoje klepisko, i zgromadzi pszenicę do swego spichlerza, ale plewy spali w ogniu nieugaszonym.
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
A tak głosząc, dawał ludziom jeszcze wiele innych napomnień.
19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
Lecz tetrarcha Herod, strofowany przez niego z powodu Herodiady, żony swego brata Filipa, i z powodu wszystkich złych czynów, których się dopuścił;
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Dodał do wszystkiego i to, że wtrącił Jana do więzienia.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
I stało się tak, że kiedy wszyscy ludzie byli ochrzczeni, również Jezus został ochrzczony, a gdy się modlił, otworzyło się niebo;
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
I zstąpił [na niego] Duch Święty w kształcie cielesnym jak gołębica, a z nieba rozległ się głos: Ty jesteś moim umiłowanym Synem, w tobie mam upodobanie.
