Luke 3

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,

Petnaeste godine vladanja cara Tiberija, dok je upravitelj Judeje bio Poncije Pilat, tetrarh Galileje Herod, a njegov brat Filip tetrarh Itureje i zemlje trahonitidske, i Lizanije tetrarh Abilene,

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

za velikog svećenika Ane i Kajfe, dođe riječ Božja Ivanu, sinu Zaharijinu, u pustinji.

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

On obiđe svu okolicu jordansku propovijedajući obraćeničko krštenje na otpuštenje grijeha

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.

kao što je pisano u Knjizi besjeda Izaije proroka: Glas viče u pustinji: Pripravite put Gospodinu, poravnite mu staze!

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;

Svaka dolina neka se ispuni, svaka gora i brežuljak neka se slegne! Što je krivudavo, neka se izravna, a hrapavi putovi neka se izglade!

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

I svako će tijelo vidjeti spasenje Božje.

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?

Govoraše dakle mnoštvu koje je dolazilo da se krsti: "Leglo gujinje! Tko vas samo upozori da bježite od skore srdžbe?

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.

Donosite dakle plodove dostojne obraćenja. I nemojte početi u sebi govoriti: 'Imamo oca Abrahama!' Jer, kažem vam: Bog iz ovog kamenja može podići djecu Abrahamovu.

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.

Već je sjekira položena na korijen stablima: svako dakle stablo koje ne donosi dobra roda siječe se i u oganj baca."

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

Pitalo ga mnoštvo: "Što nam je dakle činiti?"

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.

On im odgovaraše: "Tko ima dvije haljine, neka podijeli s onim koji nema. U koga ima hrane, neka učini isto tako."

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

Dođoše krstiti se i carinici pa ga pitahu: "Učitelju, što nam je činiti?"

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

Reče im: "Ne utjerujte više nego što vam je određeno."

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.

Pitahu ga i vojnici: "A nama, što je nama činiti?" I reče im: "Nikome ne činite nasilja, nikoga krivo ne prijavljujte i budite zadovoljni svojom plaćom."

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

Narod bijaše u iščekivanju i svi se u srcu pitahu o Ivanu nije li on možda Krist.

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:

Zato im Ivan svima reče: "Ja vas, istina, vodom krstim. Ali dolazi jači od mene. Ja nisam dostojan odriješiti mu remenje na obući. On će vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem.

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.

U ruci mu vijača da pročisti gumno svoje i sabere žito u žitnicu svoju, a pljevu će spaliti ognjem neugasivim."

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

I mnogim je drugim pobudama Ivan narodu navješćivao evanđelje.

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

A Heroda je tetrarha Ivan prekorio zbog Herodijade, žene njegova brata i zbog svih njegovih zlodjela.

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

Svemu tome nadoda Herod još i ovo: zatvori Ivana u tamnicu.

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

Kad se krstio sav narod, krstio se i Isus. I dok se molio, rastvori se nebo,

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.

siđe na nj Duh Sveti u tjelesnom obličju, poput goluba, a glas se s neba zaori: "Ti si Sin moj, Ljubljeni! U tebi mi sva milina!"
