San Lucas 3
1 En el año decimoquinto del imperio de Tiberio César, cuando Poncio Pilato era gobernador de Judea, y Herodes tetrarca de Galilea, y su hermano Felipe tetrarca de Iturea y de la provincia de Traconite, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilinia,
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 en [el] tiempo del sumo sacerdocio de Anás y Caifás, la Palabra de Dios vino a Juan, hijo de Zacarías, en un lugar deshabitado.
Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3 Salió a toda [la] región alrededor del Jordán a proclamar un bautismo de cambio de mente para perdón de pecados,
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
4 como está escrito en [el] rollo del profeta Isaías: Voz que clama en el lugar despoblado: Preparen el camino del Señor. Enderecen sus sendas.
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 Todo valle será rellenado, y toda montaña y colina nivelada. Lo torcido se enderezará, y los caminos ásperos serán suavizados.
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 Y toda persona verá la salvación de Dios.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Decía a la multitud que salía para ser bautizada por él: ¡Generación de víboras! ¿Quién les enseñó a huir de la ira que viene?
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 Produzcan, pues, frutos dignos de cambio de mente, y no comiencen a decir dentro de ustedes: Tenemos al padre Abraham. Porque les digo que Dios puede levantar hijos a Abraham de estas piedras.
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 Además el hacha ya está puesta a la raíz de los árboles. Por tanto todo árbol que no produce buen fruto es cortado y echado al fuego.
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 Y la multitud le preguntaba: ¿Qué, pues, [dices] que hagamos?
And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 Les respondía: El que tiene dos mudas de ropa, dé al que no tiene, y el que tiene comida, haga del mismo modo.
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 Unos publicanos fueron a ser bautizados y le preguntaron: Maestro, ¿qué haremos?
And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 Él les contestó: No cobren más de lo que se les mandó.
But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
14 Le preguntaron también unos soldados: Y nosotros, ¿qué haremos? Y les respondió: A nadie extorsionen ni denuncien falsamente, y estén satisfechos con sus salarios.
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 Cuando el pueblo estaba a la expectativa y todos se preguntaban si tal vez Juan sería el Cristo,
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
16 Juan declaró a todos: Yo en verdad los bautizo con agua. Pero viene el más poderoso que yo, de Quien no soy digno de desatar la correa de sus sandalias. Él los bautizará con Espíritu Santo y fuego.
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 Su aventador está en su mano para limpiar su era y recoger el trigo en su granero, pero quemará la concha del grano con fuego inextinguible.
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 Así, con estas y otras muchas exhortaciones, proclamaba las Buenas Noticias al pueblo.
And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 Entonces Herodes el tetrarca, al ser reprendido por él a causa de Herodías, la esposa de su hermano, y por todas las maldades que él hizo,
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 añadió a todas también esto: Encerró a Juan en la cárcel.
He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 Cuando todo el pueblo era bautizado, Jesús también fue bautizado. Habló con Dios y se abrió el cielo.
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
22 Descendió el Espíritu Santo sobre Él en forma corporal como una paloma, y hubo una voz del cielo: Tú eres mi Hijo amado. En Ti me deleité.
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.
