Lukas 3
1 I det femtande styringsåret åt keisar Tiberius, med Pontius Pilatus var landshovding i Judæa, og Herodes fylkeskonge i Galilæa, og Filip, bror hans, fylkeskonge i Ituræa- og Trakonitis-landet, og Lysanias fylkeskonge i Abilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
2 og med Annas og Kajafas var øvsteprestar, kom Guds ord til Johannes, son åt Zakarja, i øydemarki.
Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3 Då for han kring i heile Jordan-kverven, og ropa ut umvendingsdåp til forlating for synderne,
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
4 som skrive stend i spådomsboki åt Jesaja, profeten: «Høyr han som ropar i heidi: «Rydje vegen for Herren, jamne stigarne hans!
As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
5 Kvart djuv skal fyllast, kvart fjell skal lægjast, og kvar ein haug; beint skal det verta det som krokut var, staupute vegen han skal verta slett,
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 plain;
6 og kvart eit liv Guds frelsa skoda skal.»»
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Som no folket kom ut og vilde få honom til å døypa seg, sagde han til deim: «Orme-ungar, kven lærde dykk å røma frå vreiden som skal koma?
He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Ber då frukter som høver med umvendingi, og gjev dykk ikkje til å tenkja som so: «Me hev Abraham til far!» for eg segjer dykk at Gud kann vekkja upp born åt Abraham av desse steinarne.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Øksi ligg alt innmed roti på treet; kvart tre som ikkje ber god frukt, vert hogge ned og kasta på elden.»
For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
10 «Kva skal me då gjera?» spurde folket.
And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 Han svara deim: «Den som hev tvo trøyor, skal skifta med den som ingi hev, og den som hev mat, skal gjera sameleis.»
And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
12 Det kom og nokre tollmenner som vilde døypast, og sagde: «Meister, kva skal me gjera?»
And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 «Krev ikkje meir enn de er fyresagde!» svara han.
But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
14 Like eins var det nokre hermenner som spurde honom: «Kva skal då me gjera?» Då svara han: «De skal ikkje plåga folk eller truga pengar utav deim! De skal nøgja dykk med løni dykkar!»
And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
15 Men folket gjekk i venting, og alle tenkte um Johannes: «Tru han er Messias?»
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
16 Då tok han til ords og sagde til alle: «Eg døyper dykk med vatn; men det kjem ein som er sterkare enn eg - eg er ikkje verdig å løysa skobandet hans; han skal døypa dykk med den Heilage Ande og eld.
John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
17 Han hev kasteskovli i handi, og skal gjera av låven sin, og samla kornet i stabburet sitt; men agnerne skal han brenna i ein eld som aldri sloknar.»
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 Dette og mykje anna lagde han folket på hjarta, og kunngjorde evangeliet åt deim.
And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 Men då han tala til Herodes, fylkeskongen, for giftarmålet med Herodias, brorkona hans, og for alt det vonde han hadde gjort,
But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
20 so gjorde Herodes det og attpå alt, at han sette Johannes i fengsel.
He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 Då no alt folket vart døypt, og Jesus og var døypt, då hende det, med han bad, at himmelen opna seg,
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
22 og den Heilage Ande dala ned yver honom i duveham, og det kom ei røyst frå himmelen: «Du er son min, som eg elskar; deg hev eg hugnad i.»
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
