Luke 3
1 Then, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Men i Kejser Tiberius's femtende Regeringsår, da Pontius Pilatus var Landshøvding i Judæa, og Herodes var Fjerdingsfyrste i Galilæa, og hans Broder Filip var Fjerdingsfyrste i Ituræa og Trakonitis's Land og Lysanias Fjerdingsfyrste i Abilene,
2 under the high priests Annas and Caiaphas: the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
medens Annas og Kajfas vare Ypperstepræster, kom Guds Ord til Johannes, Sakarias's Søn, i Ørkenen.
3 And he went into the entire region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
Og han gik ud i hele Omegnen om Jordan og prædikede Omvendelses-Dåb til Syndernes Forladelse,
4 just as it has been written in the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah: “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.
som der er skrevet i Profeten Esajas's Talers Bog: "Der er en Røst af en, som råber i Ørkenen: Bereder Herrens Vej, gører hans Stier jævne;
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low. And what is crooked shall be made straight. And the rough paths shall be made into level ways.
hver Dal skal opfyldes, og hvert Bjerg og Høj skal nedtrykkes, og det krumme skal gøres lige, og de ujævne Veje skulle gøres jævne;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
og alt Kød skal se Guds Frelse."
7 Therefore, he said to the crowd that went out in order to be baptized by him: “You progeny of vipers! Who told you to flee from the approaching wrath?
Han sagde altså til de Skarer, som gik ud for at døbes af ham: "I Øgleunger! hvem har lært eder at fly fra den kommende Vrede?
8 So then, produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God has the power to raise up sons to Abraham from these stones.
Bærer da Frugter, som ere Omvendelsen værdige, og begynder ikke at sige ved eder selv: Vi have Abraham til Fader; thi jeg siger eder, at Gud kan opvække Abraham Børn af disse Sten.
9 For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.”
Men Øksen ligger også allerede ved Roden af Træerne; så bliver da hvert Træ, som ikke bærer god Frugt, omhugget og kastet i Ilden."
10 And the crowed was questioning him, saying, “What then should we do?”
Og Skarerne spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad skulle vi da gøre?"
11 But in response, he said to them: “Whoever has two coats, let him give to those who do not have. And whoever has food, let him act similarly.”
Men han svarede og sagde til dem: "Den, som har to Kjortler, dele med den, som ingen har; og den, som har Mad, gøre ligeså!"
12 Now the tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
Men også Toldere kom for at døbes, og de sagde til ham: "Mester! hvad skulle vi gøre?"
13 But he said to them, “You should do nothing more than what has been appointed to you.”
Men han sagde til dem: "Kræver intet ud over, hvad eder er forordnet."
14 Then the soldiers also questioned him, saying, “And what should we do?” And he said to them: “You should strike no one, and you should not make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”
Men også Krigsfolk spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad skulle vi da gøre?" Og han sagde til dem: "Øver ikke Vold imod nogen, bruger ikke Underfundighed imod nogen, og lader eder nøje med eders Sold!"
15 Now all were thinking about John in their hearts, and the people were supposing that perhaps he might be the Christ.
Men da Folket var i Forventning, og alle tænkte i deres Hjerter om Johannes, om ikke han skulde være Kristus,
16 John responded by saying to everyone: “Indeed, I baptize you with water. But there will arrive one stronger than me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and with fire.
da svarede Johannes og sagde til alle: "Jeg døber eder med Vand; men den kommer, som er stærkere end jeg, og hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse; han skal døbe eder med den Helligånd og Ild.
17 His winnowing fan is in his hand. And he will purify his threshing floor. And he will gather the wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
Hans Kasteskovl er i hans Hånd, for at han skal gennemrense sin Lo og sanke Hveden i sin Lade, men Avnerne skal han opbrænde med uslukkelig Ild."
18 Indeed, he also proclaimed many other things, exhorting the people.
Ligeså formanede han også Folket om mange andre Ting og forkyndte dem Evangeliet.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was corrected by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, and concerning all the evils that Herod had done,
Men da Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes blev revset af ham for hans Broders Hustru, Herodias's Skyld og for alt det onde, som Herodes gjorde,
20 added this also, above all else: that he confined John to prison.
så føjede han til alt det øvrige også dette, at han kastede Johannes i Fængsel.
21 Now it happened that, when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized; and as he was praying, heaven was opened.
Men medens hele Folket blev døbt, skete det, da også Jesus var bleven døbt og bad, at Himmelen åbnedes,
22 And the Holy Spirit, in a corporal appearance like a dove, descended upon him. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son. In you, I am well pleased.”
og at den Helligånd dalede ned over ham i legemlig Skikkelse som en Due, og at en Røst lød fra Himmelen: "Du er min Søn, den elskede, i dig har jeg Velbehag."
