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;
Im fünfzehnten Jahre aber der Regierung des Kaisers Tiberius, da Pontius Pilatus Landpfleger war von Judäa, und Herodes Vierfürst von Galiläa, sein Bruder, Philippus, aber Vierfürst von Ituräa und von der Gegend Trachonitis, und Lysanias Vierfürst von 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.
Unter den Hohenpriestern Hannas und Kajaphas geschah die Rede Gottes zu Johannes, dem Sohn des Zacharias, in der Wüste.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
Und er kam in all die Umgegend des Jordan und predigte die Taufe der Buße zur Vergebung der Sünden.
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.
Wie geschrieben ist im Buch der Worte des Propheten Jesajas, der da sagt: Die Stimme eines Rufenden in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des Herrn, machet Seine Pfade gerade!
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;
Jegliches Tal soll ausgefüllt und aller Berg und Hügel erniedrigt, und was krumm ist, soll gerade, und was rauh ist, zu ebenen Wegen werden.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Und alles Fleisch soll das Heil Gottes sehen.
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?
Er sprach nun zu dem Gedränge, das herauszog, um sich von ihm taufen zu lassen: Ihr Otterngezüchte, wer hat euch gewiesen, vor dem kommenden Zorn zu fliehen?
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.
So tut nun würdige Früchte der Buße und fanget nicht an, in euch zu sagen: Wir haben Abraham zum Vater; denn ich sage euch: Gott kann aus diesen Steinen dem Abraham Kinder erwecken.
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.
Schon ist aber auch die Axt den Bäumen an die Wurzel gelegt. Jeglicher Baum nun, der nicht gute Frucht trägt, wird abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
Und es fragte ihn das Gedränge und sprach: Was sollen wir denn tun?
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.
Er antwortete aber und sprach zu ihnen: Wer zwei Röcke hat, der gebe dem ab, der keinen hat, und wer Speise hat, der tue ähnliches.
12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
Es kamen aber auch Zöllner, sich taufen zu lassen, und sprachen zu ihm: Lehrer, was sollen wir tun?
13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Fordert nicht mehr ein, denn euch verordnet ist.
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.
Es fragten ihn aber auch Kriegsleute und sagten: Und was sollen wir tun? Und er sprach zu ihnen: Tut niemand Gewalt an und gebet niemand fälschlich an, und lasset euch an eurem Solde genügen!
15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
Da das Volk aber in Erwartung war, und alle in ihrem Herzen von Johannes dachten, ob er nicht Christus wäre,
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:
Antwortete Johannes allen und sprach: Ich taufe euch zwar mit Wasser; aber es kommt ein Stärkerer denn ich, Dem ich nicht genugsam bin, die Riemen Seiner Schuhe zu lösen, Der wird euch mit Heiligem Geiste und mit Feuer taufen.
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.
Der hat die Wurfschaufel in Seiner Hand, und wird Seine Tenne fegen, und den Weizen in Seine Scheune sammeln, die Spreu aber mit unauslöschlichem Feuer verbrennen.
18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
Vieles nun, auch anderes ermahnte er das Volk, da er die gute Botschaft verkündete.
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;
Der Vierfürst Herodes aber, der von ihm gerügt ward ob Herodias, seines Bruders Weib, und ob all des Übels, das Herodes getan,
20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
Tat zu dem allen auch dieses hinzu, daß er den Johannes ins Gefängnis einschloß.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
Es geschah aber, da alles Volk sich taufen ließ, und Jesus Sich taufen ließ und betete, daß sich der Himmel auftat,
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.
Und der Heilige Geist in leibhafter Gestalt wie eine Taube auf Ihn herabstieg, und eine Stimme vom Himmel geschah und sprach: Du bist Mein geliebter Sohn! An Dir habe Ich Wohlgefallen.
