Lukas 3
1 Allah memimpin Yohanes anak Zakaria untuk memulai pelayanannya pada tahun kelima belas pemerintahan Tiberius, raja tertinggi kerajaan Romawi. Pada masa itu juga Pontius Pilatus sedang menjabat sebagai gubernur provinsi Yudea. Herodes memerintah sebagai raja di provinsi Galilea. Filipus saudara Herodes menjadi raja di provinsi Iturea dan Trakonitis. Lisanias memerintah sebagai raja di provinsi Abilene. Hanas dan Kayafas menjabat sebagai imam besar di Yerusalem. Pada waktu itulah Allah mulai menyampaikan pesan-Nya melalui Yohanes, yang tinggal di padang belantara.
In the fiftenthe yeare of the raygne of Tiberius the Emperoure Pontius Pylate beinge leftenaut of Iurie and Herode beinge Tetrach of Galile and his brother Philip Tetrach in Iturea and in the region of Traconites and Lysanias the Tetrach of Abyline
when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
3 Yohanes pun pergi berkeliling ke seluruh daerah di sekitar sungai Yordan dan memberitakan, “Kamu masing-masing harus bertobat dari dosa-dosamu supaya Allah mengampunimu. Dan untuk menunjukkan bahwa kamu mau terus mengikut TUHAN, datanglah kepada saya supaya saya membaptis kamu.”
And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
4 Jadi Yohanes inilah orang yang dimaksud dalam nubuatan Nabi Yesaya, “Kelak akan ada orang yang berseru-seru di padang belantara, ‘Siapkanlah jalan untuk kedatangan Tuhan! Luruskanlah jalan bagi-Nya!
at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght.
5 Hendaklah setiap lembah ditimbun, dan setiap gunung dan bukit diratakan, setiap jalan yang berliku-liku diluruskan, dan setiap jalan yang bergelombang diratakan.
Every valley shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth:
6 Dengan demikian setiap orang akan mendapat kesempatan untuk mengerti bagaimana caranya agar diselamatkan oleh Allah.’”
and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
7 Lalu banyak orang datang kepada Yohanes untuk dibaptis. Namun karena sebagian dari mereka tidak sungguh-sungguh bertobat, dia menegur mereka, “Hai kalian, keturunan ular berbisa! Janganlah kamu pikir bahwa hanya dengan dibaptis kamu bisa melarikan diri dari hukuman Allah yang akan segera datang!
Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come?
8 Kalau kamu sungguh-sungguh sudah bertobat, tunjukkanlah hal itu melalui cara hidupmu. Dan janganlah berkata dalam hatimu, ‘Aku tidak akan kena hukuman Allah karena aku keturunan Abraham.’ Saya katakan kepadamu: Sesungguhnya Allah sanggup menjadikan keturunan bagi Abraham dari batu-batu ini!
Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.
9 Seperti petani yang menebang dan membakar pohon yang tidak pernah berbuah, demikianlah Allah sekarang sudah siap membinasakan setiap orang dari bangsa Israel yang tidak hidup sesuai kehendak-Nya!”
Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre.
10 Kemudian orang banyak itu bertanya kepadanya, “Kalau begitu, apa yang harus kami perbuat supaya Allah tidak menghukum kami?”
And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
11 Jawab Yohanes, “Kalau kamu mempunyai dua baju, berikanlah satu kepada orang yang tidak punya. Kalau kamu mempunyai makanan, bagikanlah kepada orang yang lapar.”
He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.
12 Beberapa penagih pajak juga datang untuk dibaptis. Mereka bertanya kepada Yohanes, “Guru, apa yang harus kami lakukan?”
Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
13 Jawabnya kepada mereka, “Jangan lagi menagih pajak lebih dari yang sudah ditentukan oleh pemerintah Roma.”
And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
14 Ada juga tentara-tentara yang bertanya, “Bagaimana dengan kami? Apa yang harus kami lakukan?” Jawab Yohanes, “Jangan memakai kekerasan, ancaman, atau tuduhan-tuduhan palsu kepada seseorang untuk mendapat uang darinya. Puaslah dengan jumlah gajimu.”
The soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre wages.
15 Karena pelayanan Yohanes, orang-orang menunggu dengan penuh harap dan bertanya-tanya dalam hati, “Apakah Yohanes adalah Kristus yang kita nanti-nantikan itu?”
As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:
16 Namun Yohanes memberitahu mereka semua, “Saya hanya membaptis orang dengan air. Tetapi sesudah saya akan datang Seorang lain yang lebih berkuasa daripada saya. Sebenarnya saya tidak layak untuk melayani Dia, sekalipun hanya membukakan tali sandal-Nya. Dialah yang akan membaptis kalian masing-masing. Ada yang dibaptis dengan Roh Kudus, ada pula yang dibaptis dengan api.
Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre:
17 Oleh sebab itu bertobatlah! Karena dunia ini seperti ladang luas yang siap dipanen. Hasil yang baik dan yang tidak baik akan dipisahkan! Dia yang datang sesudah saya akan menghakimi dunia ini dan memisahkan setiap orang yang jahat dari antara orang benar. Orang-orang benar itu akan hidup bersama-Nya. Tetapi semua orang jahat akan dilemparkan ke dalam api neraka yang tidak pernah padam.” (questioned)
which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched.
18 Dengan banyak nasihat seperti itu Yohanes menyampaikan Kabar Baik kepada orang banyak.
And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
19 Yohanes menegur Raja Herodes karena sudah merebut Herodiana, istri saudaranya, dan karena kejahatan-kejahatan lain yang pernah dia lakukan.
Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls which Herod had done)
20 Tetapi Herodes menambah kejahatannya dengan memasukkan Yohanes ke dalam penjara.
added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
21 Ketika Yohanes belum dipenjara, suatu hari dia sedang membaptis banyak orang. Yesus juga hadir di situ untuk dibaptis. Sesudah dibaptis, Yesus berdoa dan langit pun terbuka
And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened
22 lalu Roh Kudus turun ke atas Dia dalam bentuk burung merpati. Kemudian terdengarlah suara dari langit yang berkata, “Engkaulah Anak-Ku yang sangat Aku kasihi. Engkau menyenangkan hati-Ku.”
and the holy goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte.
