Luke 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, 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,	1 El año decimoquinto del reinado del emperador Tiberio, cuando Poncio Pilato gobernaba la Judea, siendo Herodes tetrarca de Galilea, su hermano Felipe tetrarca de Iturea y Traconítide, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.	2 bajo el pontificado de Anás y Caifás, Dios dirigió su palabra a Juan, hijo de Zacarías, que estaba en el desierto.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;	3 Este comenzó entonces a recorrer toda la región del río Jordán, anunciando un bautismo de conversión para el perdón de los pecados,
4 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.	4 como está escrito en el libro del profeta Isaías: "Una voz grita en desierto: Preparen el camino del Señor, allanen sus senderos.
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 shall be made smooth;	5 Los valles serán rellenados, las montañas y las colinas serán aplanadas. Serán enderezados los senderos sinuosos y nivelados los caminos desparejos.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.	6 Entonces, todos los hombres verán la Salvación de Dios."
7 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?	7 Juan decía a la multitud que venía a hacerse bautizar por él: «Raza de víboras, ¿quién les enseñó a escapar de la ira de Dios que se acerca?
8 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.	8 Produzcan los frutos de una sincera conversión, y no piensen: «Tenemos por padre a Abraham». Porque yo les digo que de estas piedras Dios puede hacer surgir hijo de Abraham.
9 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.	9 El hacha ya está puesta a la raíz de los árboles; el árbol que no produce buen fruto será cortado y arrojado al fuego».
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?	10 La gente le preguntaba: «¿Qué debemos hacer entonces?».
11 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.	11 El les respondía: «El que tenga dos túnicas, dé una al que no tiene; y el que tenga qué comer, haga otro tanto».
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?	12 Algunos publicanos vinieron también a hacer bautizar y le preguntaron: «Maestro, ¿qué debemos hacer?».
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.	13 El les respondió: «No exijan más de lo estipulado».
14 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.	14 A su vez, unos soldados le preguntaron: «Y nosotros, ¿qué debemos hacer?». Juan les respondió: «No extorsionen a nadie, no hagan falsas denuncias y conténtense con su sueldo».
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;	15 Como el pueblo estaba a la expectativa y todos se preguntaban si Juan no sería el Mesías,
16 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:	16 él tomó la palabra y les dijo: «Yo los bautizo con agua, pero viene uno que es más poderoso que yo, y yo ni siquiera soy digno de desatar la correa de sus sandalias; él los bautizará en el Espíritu Santo y en el fuego.
17 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.	17 Tiene en su mano la horquilla para limpiar su era y recoger el trigo en su granero. Pero consumirá la paja en el fuego inextinguible»
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.	18 Y por medio de muchas otras exhortaciones, anunciaba al pueblo la Buena Noticia.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,	19 Mientras tanto el tetrarca Herodes, a quien Juan censuraba a causa de Herodías – la mujer de su hermano– y por todos los delitos que había cometido,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.	20 cometió uno más haciendo encarcelar a Juan.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,	21 Todo el pueblo se hacía bautizar, y también fue bautizado Jesús. Y mientras estaba orando, se abrió el cielo.
22 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.	22 y el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre él en forma corporal, como una paloma. Se oyó entonces una voz del cielo: «Tú eres mi Hijo muy querido, en quien tengo puesta toda mi predilección».
