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,
El año decimoquinto del reinado de Tiberio César, siendo Poncio Pilato gobernador de Judea, Herodes tetrarca de Galilea, Filipo su hermano tetrarca de Iturea y de la Traconítida, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word (rhema) of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
bajo el pontificado de Anás y Caifás, la palabra de Dios vino 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 recorrió toda la región del Jordán, predicando el bautismo de arrepentimiento para la remisión de los pecados,
4 As it is written in the book of the words (logos) of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare all of you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
como está escrito en el libro de los vaticinios del profeta Isaías: “Voz de uno que clama en el desierto: Preparad el camino del Señor, enderezad 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 ha de rellenarse, y toda montaña y colina ha de rebajarse; los caminos tortuosos han de hacerse rectos, y los escabrosos, llanos;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
y toda carne verá la salvación 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?
Decía, pues, a las multitudes que salían a hacerse bautizar por él: “Raza de víboras, ¿quién os ha enseñado a escapar de la cólera que os viene encima?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Producid frutos propios del arrepentimiento. Y no andéis diciendo dentro de vosotros: “Tenemos por padre a Abrahán”. Porque os digo que de estas piedras puede Dios hacer que nazcan hijos a Abrahán.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Ya el hacha está puesta a la raíz de los árboles; todo árbol que no produce buen fruto va a ser tronchado y arrojado al fuego”.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Preguntábanle las gente “¡Y bien! ¿qué debemos hacer?”
11 He answers and says unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
Les respondió y dijo: “Quien tiene dos túnicas, dé una a quien no tiene; y quien víveres, haga lo mismo”.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Vinieron también los publicanos a hacerse bautizar, y le dijeron: “Maestro, ¿qué debemos hacer?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Les dijo: “No hagáis pagar nada por encima de vuestro arancel”.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
A su vez unos soldados le preguntaron: “Y nosotros, ¿qué debemos hacer?” Les dijo: “No hagáis extorsión a nadie, no denunciéis falsamente a nadie, y contentaos con vuestra paga”.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
Como el pueblo estuviese en expectación, y cada uno se preguntase, interiormente, a propósito de Juan, si no era él el Cristo,
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) and with fire:
Juan respondió a todos diciendo: “Yo, por mi parte, os bautizo con agua. Pero viene Aquel que es más poderoso que yo, a quien yo no soy digno de desatar la correa de sus sandalias. Él 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.
El aventador está en su mano para limpiar su era y recoger el trigo en su granero, pero la paja la quemará en un fuego que no se apaga”.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
Con estas y otras muchas exhortaciones evangelizaba 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,
Pero Herodes, el tetrarca, a quien él había reprendido a causa de Herodías, la mujer de su hermano, y a causa de todas sus maldades,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
añadió a todas estas la de poner a 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,
Al bautizarse toda la gente, y habiendo sido bautizado también Jesús, y estando Este orando, se abrió el cielo,
22 And the Holy Spirit (pneuma) descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.
y el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre Él, en figura corporal, como una paloma, y una voz vino del cielo: “Tú eres mi Hijo, el Amado; en Ti me recreo”.
