Luke 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	EINHEITSUBERSETZUNG BIBEL
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 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;
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.	2 Hohepriester waren Hannas und Kajaphas. Da erging in der Wüste das Wort Gottes an Johannes, den Sohn des Zacharias.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;	3 Und er zog in die Gegend am Jordan und verkündigte dort überall Umkehr und Taufe zur Vergebung der Sünden.
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 (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!
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 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.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.	6 Und alle Menschen werden das Heil sehen, das von Gott kommt.
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 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?
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 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.
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 Schon ist die Axt an die Wurzel der Bäume gelegt; jeder Baum, der keine gute Frucht hervorbringt, wird umgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?	10 Da fragten ihn die Leute: Was sollen wir also tun?
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 Er antwortete ihnen: Wer zwei Gewänder hat, der gebe eines davon dem, der keines hat, und wer zu essen hat, der handle ebenso.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?	12 Es kamen auch Zöllner zu ihm, um sich taufen zu lassen, und fragten: Meister, was sollen wir tun?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.	13 Er sagte zu ihnen: Verlangt nicht mehr, als festgesetzt ist.
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 Auch Soldaten fragten ihn: Was sollen denn wir tun? Und er sagte zu ihnen: Misshandelt niemand, erpresst niemand, begnügt euch mit eurem Sold!
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 Das Volk war voll Erwartung und alle überlegten im Stillen, ob Johannes nicht vielleicht selbst der Messias sei.
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 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.
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 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.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.	18 Mit diesen und vielen anderen Worten ermahnte er das Volk in seiner Predigt.
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 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.
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.	20 Deshalb ließ Herodes Johannes ins Gefängnis werfen und lud so noch mehr Schuld auf sich.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,	21 Zusammen mit dem ganzen Volk ließ auch Jesus sich taufen. Und während er betete, öffnete sich der Himmel,
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 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.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,	23 Jesus war etwa dreißig Jahre alt, als er zum ersten Mal öffentlich auftrat. Man hielt ihn für den Sohn Josefs. Die Vorfahren Josefs waren: Eli,
