San Lucas 3
1 En el año quince del emperador de Tiberio César, Poncio Pilato fue gobernador de Judea, y Herodes siendo tetrarca de Galilea, su hermano Felipe, tetrarca de la tierra de Iturea y 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 Cuando Anás y Caifás eran sumos sacerdotes, la palabra del Señor vino a Juan, el hijo de Zacarías, en el desierto.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Y él vino a todo el país alrededor del Jordán, predicando el bautismo como una señal de perdón de pecados para aquellos cuyos corazones estaban arrepentidos.
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Como dice en el libro de las palabras del profeta Isaías: Voz del que clama en el desierto: Prepara el camino del Señor, endereza sus caminos.
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 se rellenará, y todos los montes y colinas serán rebajados, y los retorcidos se enderezará, y los caminos ásperos serán lisos;
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 carne verá la salvación de Dios.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Entonces dijo a la gente que había salido a él para que los bautizara; vástagos de serpientes, ¿Quien les enseñó a huir de la ira venidera?
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 Dejen en claro por sus actos que sus corazones han sido cambiados; y no se digan a sí mismos: “Tenemos a Abraham por nuestro padre; porque yo les digo que Dios puede de estas piedras hacer hijos de Abraham”.
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 Y aun ahora el hacha está puesta a la raíz de los árboles; y todo árbol que no tenga buen fruto será cortado y puesto en el 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 gente le hizo preguntas, diciendo: ¿Qué tenemos que hacer?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Y él respondió, y les dijo: El que tiene dos túnicas, dé al que tiene una sola; y el que tiene comida, que haga lo mismo.
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 Entonces los publicanos llegaron a él para el bautismo y le dijeron: Maestro, ¿qué tenemos que hacer?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Y él les dijo: No intenten obtener más dinero de la cantidad que se les ha ordenado.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Y hombres del ejército le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Y qué tenemos que hacer? Y él les dijo: No hagan actos violentos a ningún hombre, y no extorsionen a nadie, no calumnien, confórmensen con su sueldo.
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 Y mientras la gente estaba esperando, y todos los hombres estaban cuestionando en sus corazones acerca de Juan, si él era el Cristo o no,
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 respondió, diciéndoles a todos, Verdaderamente, les doy el bautismo con agua, pero uno viene y es más poderoso que yo, y no soy digno de desatar la correa de su sandalias: él les dará el bautismo con el Espíritu Santo, y con 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 En cuya mano está el instrumento con el que limpiará su grano; él pondrá el grano bueno en su granero, pero la paja será quemada en el fuego que nunca se apagará.
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 Con estas y otras palabras de exhortación, anunciaba las buenas nuevas a la gente;
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Pero el rey Herodes el tetrarca, siendo reprendido por Juan a causa de Herodías, la esposa de su hermano, y otras cosas malvadas que Herodes había hecho,
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 Pero Herodes, a todas sus maldades añadió otra, hizo lo peor de todo, y metió a Juan en la cárcel.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Y sucedió que cuando todas las personas se bautizaron, Jesús, se bautizó con ellos, estaba en oración, cuando el cielo estaba abierto,
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 en forma de paloma, y una voz vino del cielo, diciendo: Tú eres mi Hijo amado, con quien estoy muy complacido.
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.
