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 Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
Petnaeste godine vladanja cara Tiberija, dok je upravitelj Judeje bio Poncije Pilat, tetrarh Galileje Herod, a njegov brat Filip tetrarh Itureje i zemlje trahonitidske, i Lizanije tetrarh Abilene,
2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
za velikog svećenika Ane i Kajfe, dođe riječ Božja Ivanu, sinu Zaharijinu, u pustinji.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
On obiđe svu okolicu jordansku propovijedajući obraćeničko krštenje na otpuštenje grijeha
4 As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
kao što je pisano u Knjizi besjeda Izaije proroka: Glas viče u pustinji: Pripravite put Gospodinu, poravnite mu staze!
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 plain;
Svaka dolina neka se ispuni, svaka gora i brežuljak neka se slegne! Što je krivudavo, neka se izravna, a hrapavi putovi neka se izglade!
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
I svako će tijelo vidjeti spasenje Božje.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
Govoraše dakle mnoštvu koje je dolazilo da se krsti: “Leglo gujinje! Tko vas samo upozori da bježite od skore srdžbe?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Donosite dakle plodove dostojne obraćenja. I nemojte početi u sebi govoriti: 'Imamo oca Abrahama!' Jer, kažem vam: Bog iz ovog kamenja može podići djecu Abrahamovu.
9 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
Već je sjekira položena na korijen stablima: svako dakle stablo koje ne donosi dobra roda siječe se i u oganj baca.”
10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
Pitalo ga mnoštvo: “Što nam je dakle činiti?”
11 And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
On im odgovaraše: “Tko ima dvije haljine, neka podijeli s onim koji nema. U koga ima hrane, neka učini isto tako.”
12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
Dođoše krstiti se i carinici pa ga pitahu: “Učitelju, što nam je činiti?”
13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
Reče im: “Ne utjerujte više nego što vam je određeno.”
14 And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
Pitahu ga i vojnici: “A nama, što je nama činiti?” I reče im: “Nikome ne činite nasilja, nikoga krivo ne prijavljujte i budite zadovoljni svojom plaćom.”
15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
Narod bijaše u iščekivanju i svi se u srcu pitahu o Ivanu nije li on možda Krist.
16 John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Zato im Ivan svima reče: “Ja vas, istina, vodom krstim. Ali dolazi jači od mene. Ja nisam dostojan odriješiti mu remenje na obući. On će vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem.
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
U ruci mu vijača da pročisti gumno svoje i sabere žito u žitnicu svoju, a pljevu će spaliti ognjem neugasivim.”
18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
I mnogim je drugim pobudama Ivan narodu navješćivao evanđelje.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
A Heroda je tetrarha Ivan prekorio zbog Herodijade, žene njegova brata i zbog svih njegovih zlodjela.
20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
Svemu tome nadoda Herod još i ovo: zatvori Ivana u tamnicu.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
Kad se krstio sav narod, krstio se i Isus. I dok se molio, rastvori se nebo,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
siđe na nj Duh Sveti u tjelesnom obličju, poput goluba, a glas se s neba zaori: “Ti si Sin moj, Ljubljeni! U tebi mi sva milina!”
