Luke 3

En la dek-kvina jaro de la regado de Tiberio Cezaro, kiam Pontio Pilato estis provincestro de Judujo, kaj Herodo estis tetrarĥo de Galileo, kaj lia frato Filipo tetrarĥo de la regiono Iturea kaj Traĥonitis, kaj Lisanio tetrarĥo de Abilene,

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,

dum la ĉefpastreco de Anas kaj Kajafas, venis la vorto de Dio al Johano, filo de Zeĥarja, en la dezerto.

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

Kaj li venis en la tutan regionon ĉirkaŭ Jordan, predikante la bapton de pento por la pardonado de pekoj,

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

kiel estas skribite en la libro de la vortoj de la profeto Jesaja: Voĉo de krianto en la dezerto: Pretigu la vojon de la Eternulo, Rektigu Liajn irejojn.

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.

Ĉiu valo leviĝos, Kaj ĉiu monto kaj monteto malaltiĝos, Kaj la malebenaĵo fariĝos ebenaĵo, Kaj la malglataj vojoj glatiĝos;

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;

Kaj ĉiu karno vidos la savon de Dio.

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Li do diris al la homamasoj, kiuj eliris, por esti baptitaj de li: Ho vipuridoj! kiu vin avertis forkuri de la venonta kolero?

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?

Donu do fruktojn taŭgajn por pento. Kaj ne komencu diri en vi: Ni havas Abrahamon kiel patron; ĉar mi diras al vi, ke Dio povas el ĉi tiuj ŝtonoj starigi idojn al 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.

Kaj la hakilo jam kuŝas ĉe la radiko de la arboj; tial ĉiu arbo, kiu ne donas bonan frukton, estas dehakata, kaj ĵetata en fajron.

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.

Kaj la homamasoj lin demandis, dirante: Kion do ni faru?

And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

Kaj responde li diris al ili: Kiu havas du tunikojn, tiu donu al la nehavanto; kaj kiu havas manĝaĵon, tiu faru tiel same.

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.

Venis ankaŭ impostistoj, por esti baptitaj, kaj ili diris al li: Majstro, kion ni faru?

Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

Kaj li diris al ili: Ne postulu pli multe, ol estas ordonite.

And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

Kaj ankaŭ soldatoj lin demandis, dirante: Kaj kion ni faru? Kaj li diris al ili: Ne perfortu iun, nek maljuste ion postulu, kaj estu kontentaj je via salajro.

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.

Kaj kiam la popolo atendis, kaj ĉiuj diskutis en siaj koroj pri Johano, ĉu eble li estas la Kristo,

And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

Johano respondis al ĉiuj, dirante: Mi ja vin baptas per akvo, sed venas tiu, kiu estas pli potenca ol mi; la rimenon de liaj ŝuoj mi ne estas inda malligi; li vin baptos per la Sankta Spirito kaj per fajro;

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:

lia ventumilo estas en lia mano, por ke li elpurigu sian draŝejon, kaj kolektu la tritikon en sian grenejon; sed la grenventumaĵon li bruligos per fajro neestingebla.

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.

Kaj per multaj aliaj konsiloj li evangeliis al la popolo.

And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

Sed Herodo, la tetrarĥo, riproĉite de li pri Herodias, la edzino de lia frato, kaj pri ĉiuj malbonaĵoj, kiujn Herodo faris,

But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

aldonis al ĉio ankaŭ ĉi tion, ke li enŝlosis Johanon en malliberejo.

Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

Kaj kiam la tuta popolo estis baptata, Jesuo ankaŭ estis baptita, kaj dum li preĝis, la ĉielo malfermiĝis,

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

kaj la Sankta Spirito malsupreniris sur lin en korpa aspekto kiel kolombo; kaj venis voĉo el la ĉielo: Vi estas Mia Filo, la amata; en vi Mi havas plezuron.

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.
