Luke 3
1 Nowe in the fifteenth yeere of the reigne of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being gouernour of Iudea, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galile, and his brother Philip Tetrarch of Iturea, and of the countrey of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the Tetrarch of Abilene,
Men i Kejser Tiberius's femtende Regeringsaar, 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 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
medens Annas og Kajfas vare Ypperstepræster, kom Guds Ord til Johannes, Sakarias's Søn, i Ørkenen.
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
Og han gik ud i hele Omegnen om Jordan og prædikede Omvendelses-Daab til Syndernes Forladelse,
4 As it is written in the booke of the sayings of Esaias the Prophet, which saith, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes is, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
som der er skrevet i Profeten Esajas's Talers Bog: „Der er en Røst af en, som raaber i Ørkenen: Bereder Herrens Vej, gører hans Stier jævne;
5 Euery valley shalbe filled, and euery mountaine and hill shall be brought lowe, and crooked things shalbe made straight, and the rough wayes shalbe made smoothe.
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 saluation of God.
og alt Kød skal se Guds Frelse.‟
7 Then said he to the people that were come out to be baptized of him, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Han sagde altsaa til de Skarer, som gik ud for at døbes af ham: „I Øgleunger! hvem har lært eder at fly fra den kommende Vrede?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruites worthy amendment of life, and beginne not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
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 Stene.
9 Nowe also is the axe layed vnto the roote of the trees: therefore euery tree which bringeth not foorth good fruite, shalbe hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
Men Øksen ligger ogsaa allerede ved Roden af Træerne; saa bliver da hvert Træ, som ikke bærer god Frugt, omhugget og kastet i Ilden.‟
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
Og Skarerne spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad skulle vi da gøre?‟
11 And he answered, and said vnto them, He that hath two coates, let him part with him that hath none: and hee that hath meate, let him doe likewise.
Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Den, som har to Kjortler, dele med den, som ingen har; og den, som har Mad, gøre ligesaa!‟
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
Men ogsaa Toldere kom for at døbes, og de sagde til ham: „Mester! hvad skulle vi gøre?‟
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
Men han sagde til dem: „Kræver intet ud over, hvad eder er forordnet.‟
14 The souldiers likewise demaunded of him, saying, And what shall we doe? And he saide vnto them, Doe violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your wages.
Men ogsaa 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 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
Men da Folket var i Forventning, og alle tænkte i deres Hjerter om Johannes, om ikke han skulde være Kristus,
16 Iohn answered, and saide to them all, In deede I baptize you with water, but one stronger then I, commeth, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, 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 Helligaand og Ild.
17 Whose fanne is in his hande, and hee will make cleane his floore, and will gather the wheate into his garner, but the chaffe will hee burne vp with fire that neuer shalbe quenched.
Hans Kasteskovl er i hans Haand, for at han skal gennemrense sin Lo og sanke Hveden i sin Lade, men Avnerne skal han opbrænde med uslukkelig Ild.‟
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
Ligesaa formanede han ogsaa Folket om mange andre Ting og forkyndte dem Evangeliet.
19 But when Herod the Tetrarch was rebuked of him, for Herodias his brother Philips wife, and for all the euils which 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 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
saa føjede han til alt det øvrige ogsaa dette, at han kastede Johannes i Fængsel.
21 Nowe it came to passe, as all the people were baptized, and that Iesus was baptized and did pray, that the heauen was opened:
Men medens hele Folket blev døbt, skete det, da ogsaa Jesus var bleven døbt og bad, at Himmelen aabnedes,
22 And the holy Ghost came downe in a bodily shape like a doue, vpon him, and there was a voyce from heauen, saying, Thou art my beloued Sonne: in thee I am well pleased.
og at den Helligaand 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.‟
