Lukas 3
1 Im fünfzehnten Jahre der Regierung des Kaisers Tiberius, als Pontius Pilatus Landpfleger in Judäa, und Herodes Vierfürst in Galiläa, und Philippus, sein Bruder, Vierfürst in Ituräa und Trachonitis, und Lysanias Vierfürst in Abilene war,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, 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,
2 Unter dem Hohenpriester Hannas und Kaiphas, geschah das Wort Gottes zu Johannes, dem Sohn Zacharias, in der Wüste.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Und er kam in die ganze Umgegend des Jordan, und predigte die Taufe der Gesinnungsänderung zur Vergebung der Sünden.
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Wie geschrieben steht im Buch der Reden Jesaias, des Propheten, der da spricht: "Stimme eines Rufenden in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des Herrn! Machet eben seine Pfade.
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Jedes Tal soll ausgefüllt, und jeder Berg und Hügel erniedrigt werden, und was krumm ist, soll gerade, und was höckrig ist, soll ebener Weg werden,
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;
6 Und alles Fleisch soll das Heil Gottes sehen!"
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Er sagte nun zu den Volkshaufen, die hinausgingen, daß sie von ihm getauft würden: Ihr Otterngezücht! wer hat euch gewiesen, dem kommenden Zorn zu entfliehen?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Schaffet nun Früchte würdig der Gesinnungsänderung, und fanget nicht an zu sagen bei euch selbst: Wir haben Abraham zum Vater; denn ich sage euch: Gott kann aus diesen Steinen dem Abraham Kinder erwecken.
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.
9 Es ist aber schon die Axt an die Wurzel der Bäume gelegt; jeder Baum nun, der nicht gute Frucht bringt, der wird abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Und es frugen ihn die Volkshaufen, und sprachen: Was sollen wir denn tun?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Er aber antwortete, und spricht zu ihnen: Wer zwei Röcke hat, der gebe dem, welcher nicht hat, und wer Speise hat, tue gleich also!
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Es kamen aber auch Zöllner, daß sie getauft würden, und sprachen zu ihm: Lehrer, was sollen wir tun?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Fordert nicht mehr, denn das euch Festgesetzte.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Es frugen ihn aber auch Kriegsleute, und sprachen: Und wir, was sollen wir tun? Und er sprach zu ihnen: Tut niemand Gewalt, noch Unrecht, und begnüget euch mit eurem Sold.
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.
15 Als aber das Volk in Erwartung war, und alle in ihren Herzen von Johannes dachten, ob nicht er der Messias sei,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 Antwortete Johannes, und sprach zu allen: Ich zwar taufe euch mit Wasser, es kommt aber ein Stärkerer, als ich, dessen Schuhriemen aufzulösen ich nicht gut genug bin; der wird euch in heiligem Geiste und Feuer taufen.
John answered, saying unto [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 shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 Dessen Wurfschaufel ist in seiner Hand, und er wird seine Tenne reinigen, und den Weizen in seine Scheune sammeln, die Spreu aber mit unauslöschlichem Feuer verbrennen. -
Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Auch noch viel anderes vermahnte er, und verkündigte die frohe Botschaft dem Volk.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Herodes aber, der Vierfürst, da er von ihm gestraft ward um Herodias willen, seines Bruders Weib, und um all des Bösen willen, das er getan,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Tat auch das noch zu allem, daß er den Johannes ins Gefängnis einschloß.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Es geschah aber, als alles Volk getauft wurde, und auch Jesus sich taufen ließ, und betete, daß der Himmel sich auftat;
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 Und der heilige Geist in leiblicher Gestalt, wie eine Taube, auf ihn herabfuhr, und eine Stimme aus dem Himmel kam, und sprach: du bist mein geliebter Sohn, an dir habe ich Wohlgefallen.
And the Holy Ghost 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.
