< Lucas 3 >

1 Nang ikalabinglimang taon nga ng paghahari ni Tiberio Cesar, na noo'y gobernador sa Judea si Poncio Pilato, at tetrarka sa Galilea si Herodes, at ang kaniyang kapatid na si Felipe ay tetrarka sa lalawigan ng Iturea at Traconite, at si Lisanias ay tetrarka sa 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 Nang kasalukuyang mga pangulong saserdote si Anas at si Caifas, ay dumating ang salita ng Dios kay Juan, anak ni Zacarias, sa ilang.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 At siya'y napasa buong lupain sa palibotlibot ng Jordan, na ipinangangaral ang bautismo ng pagsisisi sa ikapagpapatawad ng mga kasalanan;
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Gaya ng nasusulat sa aklat ng salita ng propeta Isaias, Ang tinig ng isang sumisigaw sa ilang, Ihanda ninyo ang daan ng Panginoon, Tuwirin ninyo ang kaniyang mga landas.
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 Lahat ng libis ay tatambakan, At pababain ang bawa't bundok at burol; At ang liko ay matutuwid, At ang mga daang bakobako ay mangapapatag;
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 At makikita ng lahat ng laman ang pagliligtas ng Dios.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Sinasabi nga niya sa mga karamihang nagsisilabas upang mangagpabautismo sa kaniya, Kayong lahi ng mga ulupong, sino ang sa inyo'y nagudyok upang tumakas sa galit na darating?
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 Kayo nga'y mangagbunga ng karapatdapat sa pagsisisi, at huwag mangagpasimulang mangagsabi sa inyong sarili, Si Abraham ang siya naming ama; sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo, na makapagpapabangon ang Dios ng mga anak ni Abraham maging sa mga batong ito.
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 At ngayon pa'y nakalagay na ang palakol sa ugat ng mga punong kahoy: ang bawa't punong kahoy nga na di nagbubunga ng mabuti ay pinuputol, at inihahagis sa apoy.
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 At tinanong siya ng karamihan, na nangagsasabi, Ano ngang dapat namin gawin?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 At sinagot niya at sinabi sa kanila, Ang may dalawang tunika ay magbahagi sa wala; at ang may pagkain ay gayon din ang gawin.
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 At dumating naman ang mga maniningil ng buwis upang mangagpabautismo, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Guro, anong dapat naming gawin?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Huwag na kayong sumingil pa ng higit kay sa utos sa inyo.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 At tinanong naman siya ng mga kawal, na nangagsasabi, At kami, anong dapat naming gawin? At sa kanila'y sinabi niya, Huwag kayong kumuhang may karahasan sa kanino man, ni mangagparatang; at mangagkasiya kayo sa bayad sa inyo.
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 At samantalang ang mga tao'y nagsisipaghintay at pinagbubulaybulay ng lahat sa kanilang puso ang tungkol kay Juan, kung siya kaya ang 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 Ay sumagot si Juan na sinasabi sa kanilang lahat, Katotohanang binabautismuhan ko kayo ng tubig; datapuwa't dumarating ang lalong makapangyarihan kay sa akin; ako'y hindi karapatdapat magkalag ng panali ng kaniyang mga pangyapak: kayo'y babautismuhan niya sa Espiritu Santo at sa apoy:
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 Nasa kaniyang kamay ang kaniyang kalaykay, upang linising lubos ang kaniyang giikan, at tipunin ang trigo sa kaniyang bangan; datapuwa't susunugin niya ang dayami sa apoy na hindi mapapatay.
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 Sa mga iba pang maraming pangaral ay ipinangangaral nga niya sa bayan ang mabuting balita;
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Datapuwa't si Herodes na tetrarka, palibhasa'y pinagwikaan niya dahil kay Herodias, na asawa ng kaniyang kapatid, at dahil sa lahat ng masasamang bagay na ginawa ni Herodes,
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 Ay naparagdag naman ito sa lahat, na kinulong niya si Juan sa bilangguan.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Nangyari nga, nang mabautismuhan ang buong bayan, na si Jesus ay binautismuhan naman, at nang nananalangin, ay nabuksan ang langit,
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 At bumaba sa kaniya ang Espiritu Santo na may anyong katawan, tulad sa isang kalapati, at nanggaling ang isang tinig sa langit, Ikaw ang sinisinta kong Anak; sa iyo ako lubos na nalulugod.
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.
