Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Petnaeste godine vladanja cara Tiberija, dok je upravitelj Judeje bio Poncije Pilat, tetrarh Galileje Herod, a njegov brat Filip tetrarh Itureje i zemlje trahonitidske, i Lizanije tetrarh Abilene,
2 [and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
za velikog svećenika Ane i Kajfe, dođe riječ Božja Ivanu, sinu Zaharijinu, u pustinji.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
On obiđe svu okolicu jordansku propovijedajući obraćeničko krštenje na otpuštenje grijeha
4 as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight;
kao što je pisano u Knjizi besjeda Izaije proroka: Glas viče u pustinji: Pripravite put Gospodinu, poravnite mu staze!
5 Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
Svaka dolina neka se ispuni, svaka gora i brežuljak neka se slegne! Što je krivudavo, neka se izravna, a hrapavi putovi neka se izglade!
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
I svako će tijelo vidjeti spasenje Božje.
7 Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
Govoraše dakle mnoštvu koje je dolazilo da se krsti: “Leglo gujinje! Tko vas samo upozori da bježite od skore srdžbe?
8 Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
Donosite dakle plodove dostojne obraćenja. I nemojte početi u sebi govoriti: 'Imamo oca Abrahama!' Jer, kažem vam: Bog iz ovog kamenja može podići djecu Abrahamovu.
9 and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
Već je sjekira položena na korijen stablima: svako dakle stablo koje ne donosi dobra roda siječe se i u oganj baca.”
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
Pitalo ga mnoštvo: “Što nam je dakle činiti?”
11 And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
On im odgovaraše: “Tko ima dvije haljine, neka podijeli s onim koji nema. U koga ima hrane, neka učini isto tako.”
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
Dođoše krstiti se i carinici pa ga pitahu: “Učitelju, što nam je činiti?”
13 And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
Reče im: “Ne utjerujte više nego što vam je određeno.”
14 And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
Pitahu ga i vojnici: “A nama, što je nama činiti?” I reče im: “Nikome ne činite nasilja, nikoga krivo ne prijavljujte i budite zadovoljni svojom plaćom.”
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Narod bijaše u iščekivanju i svi se u srcu pitahu o Ivanu nije li on možda Krist.
16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
Zato im Ivan svima reče: “Ja vas, istina, vodom krstim. Ali dolazi jači od mene. Ja nisam dostojan odriješiti mu remenje na obući. On će vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
U ruci mu vijača da pročisti gumno svoje i sabere žito u žitnicu svoju, a pljevu će spaliti ognjem neugasivim.”
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
I mnogim je drugim pobudama Ivan narodu navješćivao evanđelje.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
A Heroda je tetrarha Ivan prekorio zbog Herodijade, žene njegova brata i zbog svih njegovih zlodjela.
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Svemu tome nadoda Herod još i ovo: zatvori Ivana u tamnicu.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
Kad se krstio sav narod, krstio se i Isus. I dok se molio, rastvori se nebo,
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
siđe na nj Duh Sveti u tjelesnom obličju, poput goluba, a glas se s neba zaori: “Ti si Sin moj, Ljubljeni! U tebi mi sva milina!”
23 And Jesus Himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, Son of Joseph,
