Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
Y EN el año quince del imperio de Tiberio César, siendo gobernador de Judéa Poncio Pilato, y Heródes tetrarca de Galiléa, y su hermano Felipe tetrarca de Ituréa y de la provincia de Traconite, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilinia,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Siendo sumos sacerdotes Anás y Caifás, vino palabra del Señor sobre Juan, hijo de Zacarías, en el desierto.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Y él vino por toda la tierra alrededor del Jordan, predicando el bautismo de arrepentimiento para la remision de pecados;
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Como está escrito en el libro de las palabras del profeta Isaías que dice: Voz del que clama en el desierto: Aparejad el camino del Señor, haced derechas sus sendas.
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 shall be made smooth;
Todo valle se henchirá, y bajaráse todo monte y collado; y los [caminos] torcidos serán enderezados, y los caminos ásperos allanados;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Y verá toda carne la salvacion de Dios.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Y decia á las gentes que salian para ser bautizados de él: Oh generacion de víboras, ¿quién os enseñó á huir de la ira que vendrá?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say to you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Haced, pues, frutos dignos de arrepentimiento, y no comenceis á decir en vosotros mismos: Tenemos á Abraham por padre: porque os digo que puede Dios, aun de estas piedras, levantar hijos á Abraham.
9 And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Y ya tambien el hacha está puesta á la raiz de los árboles: todo árbol pues que no hace buen fruto, es cortado, y echado en el fuego.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Y las gentes le preguntaban, diciendo: ¿Pues qué haremos?
11 He answers and says to them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has meat, let him do likewise.
Y respondiendo, les dijo: El que tiene dos túnicas, dé al que no tiene; y el que tiene qué comer, haga lo mismo.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Y vinieron tambien publicanos para ser bautizados, y le dijeron: ¿Maestro, qué harémos?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Y él les dijo: No exijais mas de lo que os está ordenado.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
Y le preguntaron tambien los soldados, diciendo: Y nosotros, ¿qué harémos? Y les dice: No hagais extorsion á nadie, ni calumnieis; y contentáos con vuestras pagas.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
Y estando el pueblo esperando, y pensando todos de Juan en sus corazones, si él fuese el Cristo,
16 John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the lace of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
Respondió Juan, diciendo á todos: Yo, á la verdad, os bautizo en agua; mas viene quien es más poderoso que yo, de quien no soy digno de desatar la corréa de sus zapatos: el os bautizará en Espíritu Santo y fuego;
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Cuyo bieldo [está] en su mano, y limpiará su era y juntará el trigo en su alfolí, y la paja quemará en fuego que nunca se apagará.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he to the people.
Y amonestando, otras muchas cosas tambien anunciaba al pueblo.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Entónces Heródes el tetrarca, siendo reprendido por él á causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano, y de todas las maldades que habia hecho Heródes,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Añadió tambien esto sobre todo, que encerró á Juan en la cárcel:
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Y aconteció que, como todo él pueblo se bautizaba, tambien Jesus fuese bautizado; y orando, el cielo se abrió,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove on him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.
Y descendió el Espíritu Santo sobre él en forma corporal, como paloma, y fué hecha una voz del cielo que decia: Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en tí me he complacido.
