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;
Ngayon, sa ika-labinlimang taon na paghahari ni Tiberio Cesar, habang si Poncio Pilato ay gobernador sa Judea, at si Herodes ang tetrarka sa Galilea, at ang kaniyang kapatid na si Felipe ang tetrarka sa rehiyon ng Iturea at Traconite, at si Lisanias ang tetrarka sa Abilinia,
2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
at sa panahon na sina Anas at Caifas ang pinakapunong pari, dumating ang salita ng Diyos ay kay Juan na anak ni Zacarias, sa ilang.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
Siya ay naglakbay sa buong rehiyon sa palibot ng ilog Jordan, nangangaral ng bautismo ng pagsisisi para sa kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan.
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.
Gaya ito ng nasusulat sa libro ng mga salita ni propeta Isaias, “Ang tinig ng isang sumisigaw sa ilang, 'Ihanda ang daraanan ng Panginoon, gawing tuwid ang kaniyang landas.
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;
Ang bawat lambak ay mapupunan, ang bawat bundok at burol ay gagawing patag, ang mga likong daan ay magiging tuwid, at ang mga daang baku-bako ay gagawing maayos.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Ang lahat ng tao ay makikita ang pagliligtas ng Diyos.”
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?
Kaya sinabi ni Juan sa napakaraming bilang ng tao na dumarating upang magpabautismo sa kaniya, “Kayo na mga anak ng mga makamandag na ahas, sino ang nagbabala sa inyo na tumakas sa poot na paparating?”
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.
Mamunga kayo ng karapat-dapat sa pagsisisi, at huwag ninyong simulan na sabihin sa inyong mga sarili, 'Mayroon tayong Abraham bilang ama natin,' dahil sinasabi ko sa inyo na ang Diyos ay may kakayahang lumikha ng mga anak para kay Abraham kahit pa mula sa mga batong ito.
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.
Ang palakol ay nailagay na sa ugat ng mga puno. Kaya ang bawat puno na hindi namumunga nang mabuti ay puputulin at itatapon sa apoy.”
10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
At ang maraming tao ay nagtanong sa kaniya, nagsasabi “Ano ang dapat naming gawin?”
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.
Siya ay sumagot at sinabi sa kanila, “Kung ang isang tao ay may dalawang tunika, dapat niyang ibigay ang isa sa sinumang wala nito at sinuman ang may pagkain ay ganoon din ang dapat gawin.”
12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
At may ilang mga maniningil ng buwis ang dumating upang mabautismuhan, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Guro, ano ang dapat naming gawin?”
13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag kayong maningil nang higit sa dapat ninyong sinisingil.”
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.
May ilang mga kawal rin ang nagtanong sa kaniya, nagsasabi, “At paano naman kami? Ano ang dapat naming gawin?” Sinabi niya sa kanila. “Huwag kayong kumuha ng salapi kanino man nang sapilitan, at huwag ninyong paratangan ang sinuman ng hindi totoo. Masiyahan kayo sa inyong mga sahod.”
15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
Ngayon, habang ang mga tao ay sabik na naghihintay na dumating si Cristo, nagtataka ang bawat isa sa kanilang mga puso kung si Juan mismo ang Cristo.
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:
Sinagot sila ni Juan na nagsabi sa kanilang lahat, “Para sa akin, binabautismuhan ko kayo ng tubig, ngunit may isang paparating na mas higit na makapangyarihan kaysa sa akin, at hindi ako karapat-dapat na magkalag man lang ng tali ng kaniyang mgapnyapaks. Siya ang magbabautismo sa inyo ng Banal na Espiritu at ng apoy.
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.
Ang kaniyang kalaykay ay hawak niya sa kaniyang kamay upang linisin nang mabuti ang kaniyang giikan at upang tipunin ang trigo sa kaniyang kamalig. Ngunit susunugin niya ang dayami sa apoy na hindi mamamatay kailanman.”
18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
Sa pamamagitan ng iba pang madaming panghihikayat, ipinangaral niya ang magandang balita sa mga tao.
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;
Sinaway din ni Juan si Herodes na tetrarka, dahil pinakasalan niya ang asawa ng kaniyang kapatid na lalaki, na si Herodias, at sa lahat ng iba pang kasamaan na ginawa ni Herodes.
20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
Ngunit gumawa pa ng napakasamang bagay si Herodes. Ipinakulong niya sa bilangguan si Juan.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
At nangyari ngang habang ang lahat ng tao ay binabautismuhan, si Jesus ay nabautismuhan din. Habang siya ay nananalangin, ang kalangitan ay bumukas.
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.
Ang Banal na Espiritu ay bumaba sa kaniya na may anyo na gaya ng kalapati, habang may isang tinig ang nanggaling sa langit, “Ikaw ang aking minamahal na Anak. Lubos akong nalulugod sa Iyo.”
