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,
Uti femtonde årena af Tiberii Kejsaredöme, då Pontius Pilatus var landshöfding i Judeen, och Herodes var Tetrarcha i Galileen, och Philippus, hans broder, Tetrarcha i Itureen, och i den ängden Trachonitis, och Lysanias Tetrarcha i Abilene;
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Under de öfversta Presterna Hannas och Caiphas, kom Guds befallning till Johannes, Zacharie son, i öknene.
3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Och han kom i alla den ängden vid Jordan, och predikade bättringenes döpelse, till syndernas förlåtelse;
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.
Såsom skrifvet är i den boken af Esaie Prophetens ordom, den der säger: Uti öknen är en ropandes röst: Bereder Herrans väg; görer hans stigar rätta.
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;
Alla dalar skola uppfyllas, och all berg och backar skola förnedras; och det krokot är, skall rätt varda, och det ojemnt är, skall vändas i släta vägar;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Och allt kött skall se Guds salighet.
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?
Så sade han då till folket, som utgick till att döpas af honom: I huggormars afföda, ho hafver eder föregifvit, att I undkomma skolen den tillkommande vrede?
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.
Görer fördenskull tillbörlig bättrings frukt; och tager eder icke före att säga vid eder sjelf: Vi hafve Abraham till fader; ty jag säger eder: Gud är mägtig uppväcka Abrahe söner af dessa stenar.
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.
Och nu är allaredo yxen satt till rotena på trän; hvart och ett trä, som icke bär goda frukt, varder afhugget, och kastadt i elden.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Och folket frågade honom, sägande: Hvad skole vi då göra?
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.
Svarade han, och sade till dem: Den der två kjortlar hafver, han gifve den som ingen hafver; och den der mat hafver, göre sammalunda.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
Så kommo ock de Publicaner, till att döpas, och sade till honom: Mästar, hvad skole då vi göra?
13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
Sade han till dem: Kräfver icke mer ut, än eder förelagdt är.
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.
Frågade ock krigsmän honom, sägande: Hvad skole då vi göra? Sade han till dem: Görer ingom öfvervåld och orätt, och låter eder nöja åt edor lön.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
Så begynte då folket hafva en gissan, och alle tänkte i sin hjerta om Johanne, om han icke var Christus.
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:
Då svarade Johannes, och sade till alla: Jag döper eder i vatten; men en varder kommandes, som starkare är än jag, hvilkens skoremmar jag icke värd är att upplösa; han skall döpa eder med den Helga Anda, och med eld;
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.
Hvilkens kastoskofvel är uti hans hand, och han skall rensa sin loga, och församla hvetet uti sina lado; men agnarna skall han uppbränna uti evig eld.
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
Och mång annor stycke förmanade han, och predikade för folket.
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,
Då Herodes Tetrarcha vardt straffad af honom, för Herodias, sins broders Philippi hustrus, skull, och för allt det onda, som Herodes gjorde;
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Öfver allt detta lade han Johannem i häktelse.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Och det begaf sig, då allt folket lät sig döpa, och Jesus vardt ock döpt, och bad, öppnades himmelen.
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.
Och den Helge Ande kom ned i lekamlig hamn, såsom en dufva, på honom; och en röst kom af himmelen, som sade: Du äst min älskelige Son; uti dig behagar mig.
