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 Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene —
Men i Kejser Tiberius's femtende Regeringsår, da Pontius Pilatus var Landshøvding i Judæa, og Herodes var Fjerdingsfyrste i Galilæa, og hans Broder Filip var Fjerdingsfyrste i Ituræa og Trakonitis's Land og Lysanias Fjerdingsfyrste i Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests — there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
medens Annas og Kajfas vare Ypperstepræster, kom Guds Ord til Johannes, Sakarias's Søn, i Ørkenen.
3 and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
Og han gik ud i hele Omegnen om Jordan og prædikede Omvendelses-Dåb til Syndernes Forladelse,
4 as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths;
som der er skrevet i Profeten Esajas's Talers Bog: "Der er en Røst af en, som råber i Ørkenen: Bereder Herrens Vej, gører hans Stier jævne;
5 every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways;
hver Dal skal opfyldes, og hvert Bjerg og Høj skal nedtrykkes, og det krumme skal gøres lige, og de ujævne Veje skulle gøres jævne;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'
og alt Kød skal se Guds Frelse."
7 Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised by him, 'Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath?
Han sagde altså til de Skarer, som gik ud for at døbes af ham: "I Øgleunger! hvem har lært eder at fly fra den kommende Vrede?
8 make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have a father — Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham;
Bærer da Frugter, som ere Omvendelsen værdige, og begynder ikke at sige ved eder selv: Vi have Abraham til Fader; thi jeg siger eder, at Gud kan opvække Abraham Børn af disse Sten.
9 and already also the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and to fire it is cast.'
Men Øksen ligger også allerede ved Roden af Træerne; så bliver da hvert Træ, som ikke bærer god Frugt, omhugget og kastet i Ilden."
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, 'What, then, shall we do?'
Og Skarerne spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad skulle vi da gøre?"
11 and he answering saith to them, 'He having two coats — let him impart to him having none, and he having victuals — in like manner let him do.'
Men han svarede og sagde til dem: "Den, som har to Kjortler, dele med den, som ingen har; og den, som har Mad, gøre ligeså!"
12 And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptised, and they said unto him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?'
Men også Toldere kom for at døbes, og de sagde til ham: "Mester! hvad skulle vi gøre?"
13 and he said unto them, 'Exact no more than that directed you.'
Men han sagde til dem: "Kræver intet ud over, hvad eder er forordnet."
14 And questioning him also were those warring, saying, 'And we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, 'Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.'
Men også Krigsfolk spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad skulle vi da gøre?" Og han sagde til dem: "Øver ikke Vold imod nogen, bruger ikke Underfundighed imod nogen, og lader eder nøje med eders Sold!"
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Men da Folket var i Forventning, og alle tænkte i deres Hjerter om Johannes, om ikke han skulde være Kristus,
16 John answered, saying to all, 'I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals — he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;
da svarede Johannes og sagde til alle: "Jeg døber eder med Vand; men den kommer, som er stærkere end jeg, og hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse; han skal døbe eder med den Helligånd og Ild.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'
Hans Kasteskovl er i hans Hånd, for at han skal gennemrense sin Lo og sanke Hveden i sin Lade, men Avnerne skal han opbrænde med uslukkelig Ild."
18 And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Ligeså formanede han også Folket om mange andre Ting og forkyndte dem Evangeliet.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Men da Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes blev revset af ham for hans Broders Hustru, Herodias's Skyld og for alt det onde, som Herodes gjorde,
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
så føjede han til alt det øvrige også dette, at han kastede Johannes i Fængsel.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Men medens hele Folket blev døbt, skete det, da også Jesus var bleven døbt og bad, at Himmelen åbnedes,
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in thee I did delight.'
og at den Helligånd dalede ned over ham i legemlig Skikkelse som en Due, og at en Røst lød fra Himmelen: "Du er min Søn, den elskede, i dig har jeg Velbehag."
