Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
I femtonde året av kejsar Tiberius' regering, när Pontius Pilatus var landshövding i Judeen, och Herodes var landsfurste i Galileen, och hans broder Filippus landsfurste i Itureen och Trakonitis-landet, och Lysanias landsfurste i Abilene,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
på den tid då Hannas var överstepräst jämte Kaifas -- då kom Guds befallning till Johannes, Sakarias' son, i öknen;
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
och han gick åstad och predikade i hela trakten omkring Jordan bättringens döpelse till syndernas förlåtelse.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
Så uppfylldes vad som var skrivet i profeten Esaias' utsagors bok: "Hör rösten av en som ropar i öknen: Bereden vägen för Herren, gören stigarna jämna för honom.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
Alla dalar skola fyllas och alla berg och höjder sänkas; vad krokigt är skall bliva rak väg, och vad oländigt är skall bliva släta stigar;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
och allt kött skall se Guds frälsning.'"
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Han sade nu till folket som kom ut för att låta döpa sig av honom: "I huggormars avföda, vem har ingivit eder att söka komma undan den tillstundande vredesdomen?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Bären då ock sådan frukt som tillhör bättringen. Och sägen icke vid eder själva: 'Vi hava ju Abraham till fader'; Ty jag säger eder att Gud av dessa stenar kan uppväcka barn åt Abraham.
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
Redan är också yxan satt till roten på träden; så bliver då vart träd som icke bär god frukt avhugget och kastat på elden.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Och folket frågade honom och sade: "Vad skola vi då göra?"
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Han svarade och sade till dem: "Den som har två livklädnader, han dele med sig åt den som icke har någon; och en som har matförråd, han göre sammalunda."
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Så kommo ock publikaner för att låta döpa sig, och de sade till honom: "Mästare, vad skola vi göra?"
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Han svarade dem: "Kräven icke ut mer än vad som är eder föreskrivet."
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
Också krigsmän frågade honom och sade: "Vad skola då vi göra? Han svarade dem: "Tilltvingen eder icke penningar av någon, genom hot eller på annat otillbörligt sätt, utan låten eder nöja med eder sold."
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Och folket gick där i förbidan, och alla undrade i sina hjärtan om Johannes icke till äventyrs vore Messias.
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
Men Johannes tog till orda och sade: till dem alla: "Jag döper eder med vatten, men den som kommer, som är starkare än jag, den vilkens skorem jag icke är värdig att upplösa; han skall döpa eder i helig ande och eld.
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Han har sin kastskovel i handen, ty han vill noga rensa sin loge och samla in vetet i sin lada; men agnarna skall han bränna upp i en eld som icke utsläckes."
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Så förmanade han folket också i många andra stycken och förkunnade evangelium för dem.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
Men när han hade förehållit Herodes, landsfursten, hans synd i fråga om hans broders hustru Herodias och förehållit honom allt det onda som han eljest hade gjort,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
lade Herodes till allt annat också det att han inspärrade Johannes i fängelse.
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
När nu allt folket lät döpa sig och jämväl Jesus blev döpt, så skedde därvid, medan han bad, att himmelen öppnades,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
och den helige Ande sänkte sig ned över honom I lekamlig skepnad såsom en duva; och från himmelen kom en röst: "Du är min älskade Son; i dig har jag funnit behag."
