Lukas 3

EINHEITSUBERSETZUNG BIBEL	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Es war im fünfzehnten Jahr der Regierung des Kaisers Tiberius; Pontius Pilatus war Statthalter von Judäa, Herodes Tetrarch von Galiläa, sein Bruder Philippus Tetrarch von Ituräa und Trachonitis, Lysanias Tetrarch von Abilene;	1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
2 Hohepriester waren Hannas und Kajaphas. Da erging in der Wüste das Wort Gottes an Johannes, den Sohn des Zacharias.	2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3 Und er zog in die Gegend am Jordan und verkündigte dort überall Umkehr und Taufe zur Vergebung der Sünden.	3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
4 (So erfüllte sich,) was im Buch der Reden des Propheten Jesaja steht: Eine Stimme ruft in der Wüste: Bereitet dem Herrn den Weg! Ebnet ihm die Straßen!	4 As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
5 Jede Schlucht soll aufgefüllt werden, jeder Berg und Hügel sich senken. Was krumm ist, soll gerade werden, was uneben ist, soll zum ebenen Weg werden.	5 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 plain;
6 Und alle Menschen werden das Heil sehen, das von Gott kommt.	6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Das Volk zog in Scharen zu ihm hinaus, um sich von ihm taufen zu lassen. Er sagte zu ihnen: Ihr Schlangenbrut, wer hat euch denn gelehrt, dass ihr dem kommenden Gericht entrinnen könnt?	7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bringt Früchte hervor, die eure Umkehr zeigen, und fangt nicht an zu sagen: Wir haben ja Abraham zum Vater. Denn ich sage euch: Gott kann aus diesen Steinen Kinder Abrahams machen.	8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Schon ist die Axt an die Wurzel der Bäume gelegt; jeder Baum, der keine gute Frucht hervorbringt, wird umgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.	9 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
10 Da fragten ihn die Leute: Was sollen wir also tun?	10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
11 Er antwortete ihnen: Wer zwei Gewänder hat, der gebe eines davon dem, der keines hat, und wer zu essen hat, der handle ebenso.	11 And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
12 Es kamen auch Zöllner zu ihm, um sich taufen zu lassen, und fragten: Meister, was sollen wir tun?	12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
13 Er sagte zu ihnen: Verlangt nicht mehr, als festgesetzt ist.	13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
14 Auch Soldaten fragten ihn: Was sollen denn wir tun? Und er sagte zu ihnen: Misshandelt niemand, erpresst niemand, begnügt euch mit eurem Sold!	14 And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
15 Das Volk war voll Erwartung und alle überlegten im Stillen, ob Johannes nicht vielleicht selbst der Messias sei.	15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
16 Doch Johannes gab ihnen allen zur Antwort: Ich taufe euch nur mit Wasser. Es kommt aber einer, der stärker ist als ich, und ich bin es nicht wert, ihm die Schuhe aufzuschnüren. Er wird euch mit dem Heiligen Geist und mit Feuer taufen.	16 John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
17 Schon hält er die Schaufel in der Hand, um die Spreu vom Weizen zu trennen und den Weizen in seine Scheune zu bringen; die Spreu aber wird er in nie erlöschendem Feuer verbrennen.	17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 Mit diesen und vielen anderen Worten ermahnte er das Volk in seiner Predigt.	18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
19 Johannes tadelte auch den Tetrarchen Herodes wegen (der Sache mit) Herodias, der Frau seines Bruders, und wegen all der anderen Schandtaten, die er verübt hatte.	19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
20 Deshalb ließ Herodes Johannes ins Gefängnis werfen und lud so noch mehr Schuld auf sich.	20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
21 Zusammen mit dem ganzen Volk ließ auch Jesus sich taufen. Und während er betete, öffnete sich der Himmel,	21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
22 und der Heilige Geist kam sichtbar in Gestalt einer Taube auf ihn herab, und eine Stimme aus dem Himmel sprach: Du bist mein geliebter Sohn, an dir habe ich Gefallen gefunden.	22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
