Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the tetrarch of Abilene,
Im fünfzehnten Jahre aber der Regierung des Kaisers Tiberius, da Pontius Pilatus Landpfleger war von Judäa, und Herodes Vierfürst von Galiläa, sein Bruder, Philippus, aber Vierfürst von Ituräa und von der Gegend Trachonitis, und Lysanias Vierfürst von Abilene.
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Unter den Hohenpriestern Hannas und Kajaphas geschah die Rede Gottes zu Johannes, dem Sohn des Zacharias, in der Wüste.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
Und er kam in all die Umgegend des Jordan und predigte die Taufe der Buße zur Vergebung der Sünden.
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 ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Wie geschrieben ist im Buch der Worte des Propheten Jesajas, der da sagt: Die Stimme eines Rufenden in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des Herrn, machet Seine Pfade gerade!
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;
Jegliches Tal soll ausgefüllt und aller Berg und Hügel erniedrigt, und was krumm ist, soll gerade, und was rauh ist, zu ebenen Wegen werden.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Und alles Fleisch soll das Heil Gottes sehen.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Er sprach nun zu dem Gedränge, das herauszog, um sich von ihm taufen zu lassen: Ihr Otterngezüchte, wer hat euch gewiesen, vor dem kommenden Zorn zu fliehen?
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 of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
So tut nun würdige Früchte der Buße und fanget nicht an, in euch zu sagen: Wir haben Abraham zum Vater; denn ich sage euch: Gott kann aus diesen Steinen dem Abraham Kinder erwecken.
9 And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Schon ist aber auch die Axt den Bäumen an die Wurzel gelegt. Jeglicher Baum nun, der nicht gute Frucht trägt, wird abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Und es fragte ihn das Gedränge und sprach: Was sollen wir denn tun?
11 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.
Er antwortete aber und sprach zu ihnen: Wer zwei Röcke hat, der gebe dem ab, der keinen hat, und wer Speise hat, der tue ähnliches.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Es kamen aber auch Zöllner, sich taufen zu lassen, und sprachen zu ihm: Lehrer, was sollen wir tun?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Fordert nicht mehr ein, denn euch verordnet ist.
14 And the soldiers likewise asked 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.
Es fragten ihn aber auch Kriegsleute und sagten: Und was sollen wir tun? Und er sprach zu ihnen: Tut niemand Gewalt an und gebet niemand fälschlich an, und lasset euch an eurem Solde genügen!
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Da das Volk aber in Erwartung war, und alle in ihrem Herzen von Johannes dachten, ob er nicht Christus wäre,
16 John answered, saying to [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
Antwortete Johannes allen und sprach: Ich taufe euch zwar mit Wasser; aber es kommt ein Stärkerer denn ich, Dem ich nicht genugsam bin, die Riemen Seiner Schuhe zu lösen, Der wird euch mit Heiligem Geiste und mit Feuer taufen.
17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Der hat die Wurfschaufel in Seiner Hand, und wird Seine Tenne fegen, und den Weizen in Seine Scheune sammeln, die Spreu aber mit unauslöschlichem Feuer verbrennen.
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
Vieles nun, auch anderes ermahnte er das Volk, da er die gute Botschaft verkündete.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Der Vierfürst Herodes aber, der von ihm gerügt ward ob Herodias, seines Bruders Weib, und ob all des Übels, das Herodes getan,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Tat zu dem allen auch dieses hinzu, daß er den Johannes ins Gefängnis einschloß.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Es geschah aber, da alles Volk sich taufen ließ, und Jesus Sich taufen ließ und betete, daß sich der Himmel auftat,
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Und der Heilige Geist in leibhafter Gestalt wie eine Taube auf Ihn herabstieg, und eine Stimme vom Himmel geschah und sprach: Du bist Mein geliebter Sohn! An Dir habe Ich Wohlgefallen.
