< Matthew 3 >

1 And in those days John the immerser comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying,
تَدانوں یوہْنّاما مَجَّیِتا یِہُودِییَدیشَسْیَ پْرانْتَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ پْرَچارَیَنْ کَتھَیاماسَ،
2 Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached.
مَناںسِ پَراوَرْتَّیَتَ، سْوَرْگِییَراجَتْوَں سَمِیپَماگَتَمْ۔
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of a man crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
پَرَمیشَسْیَ پَنْتھانَں پَرِشْکُرُتَ سَرْوَّتَح۔ تَسْیَ راجَپَتھاںشْچَیوَ سَمِیکُرُتَ سَرْوَّتھا۔ اِتْییتَتْ پْرانْتَرے واکْیَں وَدَتَح کَسْیَچِدْ رَوَح۔۔
4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.
ایتَدْوَچَنَں یِشَیِیَبھَوِشْیَدْوادِنا یوہَنَمُدِّشْیَ بھاشِتَمْ۔ یوہَنو وَسَنَں مَہانْگَرومَجَں تَسْیَ کَٹَو چَرْمَّکَٹِبَنْدھَنَں؛ سَ چَ شُوکَکِیٹانْ مَدھُ چَ بھُکْتَوانْ۔
5 Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region of the Jordan went out to him,
تَدانِیں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَنِواسِنَح سَرْوّے یِہُودِدیشِییا یَرْدَّنْتَٹِنْیا اُبھَیَتَٹَسْتھاشْچَ مانَوا بَہِراگَتْیَ تَسْیَ سَمِیپی
6 and they were immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
سْوِییَں سْوِییَں دُرِتَمْ اَنْگِیکرِتْیَ تَسْیاں یَرْدَّنِ تینَ مَجِّتا بَبھُووُح۔
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, Ye offspring of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?
اَپَرَں بَہُونْ پھِرُوشِنَح سِدُوکِنَشْچَ مَنُجانْ مَںکْتُں سْوَسَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھتو وِلوکْیَ سَ تانْ اَبھِدَدھَو، رے رے بھُجَگَوَںشا آگامِینَح کوپاتْ پَلایِتُں یُشْمانْ کَشْچیتِتَوانْ؟
8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance.
مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَسْیَ سَمُچِتَں پھَلَں پھَلَتَ۔
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
کِنْتْوَسْماکَں تاتَ اِبْراہِیمْ اَسْتِیتِ سْویشُ مَنَحسُ چِینْتَیَنْتو ما وْیاہَرَتَ۔ یَتو یُشْمانْ اَہَں وَدامِ، اِیشْوَرَ ایتیبھْیَح پاشانیبھْیَ اِبْراہِیمَح سَنْتانانْ اُتْپادَیِتُں شَکْنوتِ۔
10 And even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
اَپَرَں پادَپاناں مُولے کُٹھارَ اِدانِیمَپِ لَگَنْ آسْتے، تَسْمادْ یَسْمِنْ پادَپے اُتَّمَں پھَلَں نَ بھَوَتِ، سَ کرِتّو مَدھْیےگْنِں نِکْشیپْسْیَتے۔
11 I indeed immerse you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
اَپَرَمْ اَہَں مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَسُوچَکینَ مَجَّنینَ یُشْمانْ مَجَّیامِیتِ سَتْیَں، کِنْتُ مَمَ پَشْچادْ یَ آگَچّھَتِ، سَ مَتّوپِ مَہانْ، اَہَں تَدِییوپانَہَو ووڈھُمَپِ نَہِ یوگْیوسْمِ، سَ یُشْمانْ وَہْنِرُوپے پَوِتْرَ آتْمَنِ سَںمَجَّیِشْیَتِ۔
12 Whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. And he will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.
تَسْیَ کارے سُورْپَ آسْتے، سَ سْوِییَشَسْیانِ سَمْیَکْ پْرَسْپھوٹْیَ نِجانْ سَکَلَگودھُومانْ سَںگرِہْیَ بھانْڈاگارے سْتھاپَیِشْیَتِ، کِںنْتُ سَرْوّانِ وُشانْیَنِرْوّانَوَہْنِنا داہَیِشْیَتِ۔
13 Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be immersed by him.
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُ رْیوہَنا مَجِّتو بھَوِتُں گالِیلْپْرَدیشادْ یَرْدَّنِ تَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ آجَگامَ۔
14 But John was preventing him, saying, I have need to be immersed by thee, and thou come to me?
کِنْتُ یوہَنْ تَں نِشِدھْیَ بَبھاشے، تْوَں کِں مَمَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھَسِ؟ وَرَں تْوَیا مَجَّنَں مَمَ پْرَیوجَنَمْ آسْتے۔
15 But having answered, Jesus said to him, Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allows him.
تَدانِیں یِیشُح پْرَتْیَووچَتْ؛ اِیدانِیمْ اَنُمَنْیَسْوَ، یَتَ اِتّھَں سَرْوَّدھَرْمَّسادھَنَمْ اَسْماکَں کَرْتَّوْیَں، تَتَح سونْوَمَنْیَتَ۔
16 And when Jesus was immersed, he went up straightaway out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon him.
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُرَمَّسِ مَجِّتُح سَنْ تَتْکْشَناتْ تویَمَدھْیادْ اُتّھایَ جَگامَ، تَدا جِیمُوتَدْوارے مُکْتے جاتے، سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیاتْمانَں کَپوتَوَدْ اَوَرُہْیَ سْووپَرْیّاگَچّھَنْتَں وِیکْشانْچَکْرے۔
17 And lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
اَپَرَمْ ایشَ مَمَ پْرِیَح پُتْرَ ایتَسْمِنّیوَ مَمَ مَہاسَنْتوشَ ایتادرِشِی وْیومَجا واگْ بَبھُووَ۔
