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 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,
2 og med Annas og Kajafas var øvsteprestar, kom Guds ord til Johannes, son åt Zakarja, i øydemarki.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
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 Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, 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 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.
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 [shall be] made smooth;
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?
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?
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 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.
9 Øksi ligg alt innmed roti på treet; kvart tre som ikkje ber god frukt, vert hogge ned og kasta på elden.»
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.
10 «Kva skal me då gjera?» spurde folket.
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Han svara deim: «Den som hev tvo trøyor, skal skifta med den som ingi hev, og den som hev mat, skal gjera sameleis.»
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.
12 Det kom og nokre tollmenner som vilde døypast, og sagde: «Meister, kva skal me gjera?»
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
13 «Krev ikkje meir enn de er fyresagde!» svara han.
And he said to them, Exact no 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 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.
15 Men folket gjekk i venting, og alle tenkte um Johannes: «Tru han er Messias?»
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
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 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:
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 thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Dette og mykje anna lagde han folket på hjarta, og kunngjorde evangeliet åt deim.
And many other things in his exhortation he preached 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, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip'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.
Added yet this above all, that he 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 when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the 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 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.
