Luke 3
1 By now Tiberias had been Caesar for fifteen years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip was ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanius was ruler of Abiline.
Piecpadsmitā ķeizara Tiberijus valdīšanas gadā, kad Poncius Pilatus bija zemes valdītājs Jūdejā un Hērodus valdnieks Galilejā un Filips, viņa brālis, valdnieks Iturejā un Trakonites tiesā un Lizanijus valdnieks Abilenē,
2 Annas and Caiphas were the current high priests. This was the time when the word of God came to John, Zechariah's son, who was living in the desert.
Apakš tiem augstiem priesteriem Annasa un Kajafasa, Dieva vārds notika uz Jāni, Zaharijas dēlu, tuksnesī.
3 He went throughout the whole Jordan region, announcing to everyone that they needed to be baptized to show they had repented and their sins had been forgiven.
Un viņš gāja pa visu Jardānes apgabalu, sludinādams kristību uz atgriešanos no grēkiem par grēku piedošanu.
4 As Isaiah the prophet wrote: “A voice was heard crying out in the desert, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
Itin kā rakstīts pravieša Jesajas grāmatā, kas saka: “Saucēja balss tuksnesī: “Sataisiet Tā Kunga ceļu, dariet līdzenas Viņa tekas.
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled. Crooked ways will be straightened, and rough roads will be smoothed.
Visas ielejas lai top pildītas, un visi kalni un pakalni lai top zemoti, un kas nelīdzens, lai top līdzens, un kas celmains, par staigājamu ceļu;
6 Every human being will see God's salvation.’”
Un visa miesa redzēs Tā Kunga pestīšanu.””
7 John addressed the crowds that came to him to be baptized. “You viper's brood! Who warned you to flee from the coming judgment?” he asked.
Tāpēc viņš sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm, kas izgāja, ka no viņa tiktu kristīti: “Jūs odžu dzimums, kas jums ir rādījis izbēgt no nākamās dusmības?
8 “Demonstrate that you have truly repented. Don't try to justify yourselves by saying, ‘We're Abraham's descendants.’ Let me tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these stones.
Tāpēc nesiet pienākamus atgriešanās augļus; un nesākat savā prātā sacīt: “Mums ir Ābrahāms par tēvu.” Jo Es jums saku, ka Dievs no šiem akmeņiem Ābrahāmam spēj bērnus radīt.
9 The ax is set to begin chopping at the base of the trees. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
Jau arī cirvis kokiem pie saknes pielikts; tāpēc ikkatrs koks, kas nenes labus augļus, top nocirsts un ugunī iemests.”
10 “So what should we do?” the crowds asked him.
Un tie ļaudis tam jautāja un sacīja: “Ko tad mums būs darīt?”
11 “If you have two coats, then share with someone who doesn't have one. If you have food, then share with those who don't,” he told them.
Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Kam divi svārki, tas lai dod tam, kam nav; un kam ir barība, lai dara tāpat.”
12 Some tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher, what should we do?” they also asked.
Bet arī muitnieki nāca, ka liktos kristīties, un uz to sacīja: “Mācītāj, ko mums būs darīt?”
13 “Don't collect any more tax than you're meant to,” he replied.
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Neņemiet vairāk, nekā jums ir nospriests.”
14 “What about us?” some soldiers asked. “What should we do?” “Don't demand money with threats of violence. Don't make accusations that are untrue. Be satisfied with your wages,” he replied.
Bet arī karavīri tam jautāja un sacīja: “Ko tad mums būs darīt?” Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Nedariet nevienam pāri, neapmelojiet nevienu un esat mierā ar savu algu.”
15 The people were waiting expectantly, and wondered whether John himself might be the Messiah.
Bet tiem ļaudīm gaidot un visiem savā prātā par Jāni domājot, vai tas neesot Kristus,
16 John replied and explained to everybody, “Yes, I am baptizing you in water. But the one who is coming is more important than me, and I'm not worthy to undo his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Jānis visiem atbildēja sacīdams: “Es jūs gan kristīju ar ūdeni, bet Viens nāks, spēcīgāks, nekā es, Tam es neesmu cienīgs atraisīt Viņa kurpju siksnas. Tas jūs kristīs ar Svētu Garu un uguni;
17 His winnowing fork is in his hand and he's ready to separate the wheat from the chaff on his threshing floor. He'll gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with fire that can't be extinguished.”
Tam vēteklis rokā, un Viņš tīrīs Savu klonu caur caurim un sakrās kviešus Savā klētī, bet pelavas sadedzinās ar neizdzēšamu uguni.”
18 John gave many warnings like this as he announced the good news to the people.
Arī vēl daudz citu ko mācīdams, viņš pasludināja tiem ļaudīm prieka vēsti.
19 But when John reprimanded Herod the ruler for marrying Herodias, Herod's brother's wife, and for all the evil things he'd done,
Bet Hērodus, viens no tiem četriem valdniekiem, no viņa pārmācīts Hērodeijas, Filipa, sava brāļa, sievas dēļ, un visa ļauna dēļ, ko Hērodus bija darījis,
20 Herod added to his crimes by having John thrown into jail.
Pie visa tā arī šo vēl darīja, ka Jāni ieslēdza cietumā.
21 Now it happened that after everyone had been baptized, Jesus was baptized as well. As he was praying, heaven was opened,
Un notikās, kad visi ļaudis tapa kristīti, un arī Jēzus bija kristīts un Dievu pielūdza, tad debesis atvērās,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, taking the form of a dove. A voice came from heaven, saying, “You are my son, the one I love. I am truly pleased with you.”
Un Svētais Gars nolaidās uz Viņu redzamā ģīmī kā balodis; un balss atskanēja no debesīm sacīdama: “Tu esi Mans mīļais Dēls, pie Tevis Man ir labs prāts.”
