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 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 en [el] tiempo del sumo sacerdocio de Anás y Caifás, la Palabra de Dios vino a Juan, hijo de Zacarías, en un lugar deshabitado.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
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 Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance 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 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 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 [shall be] made smooth;
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?
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 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 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 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.
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 Y la multitud le preguntaba: ¿Qué, pues, [dices] que hagamos?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Les respondía: El que tiene dos mudas de ropa, dé al que no tiene, y el que tiene comida, haga del mismo modo.
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 Unos publicanos fueron a ser bautizados y le preguntaron: Maestro, ¿qué haremos?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Él les contestó: No cobren más de lo que se les mandó.
And he said unto them, Exact no 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 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 Cuando el pueblo estaba a la expectativa y todos se preguntaban si tal vez Juan sería el Cristo,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
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 [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 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 throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Así, con estas y otras muchas exhortaciones, proclamaba las Buenas Noticias al pueblo.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto 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, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 añadió a todas también esto: Encerró a Juan en la cárcel.
Added yet this above all, that he 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 when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the 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 like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
