< Matthew 3 >

1 And in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the waste land of Judaea,
تَدانوں یوہْنّاما مَجَّیِتا یِہُودِییَدیشَسْیَ پْرانْتَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ پْرَچارَیَنْ کَتھَیاماسَ،
2 Saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin; for the kingdom of heaven is near.
مَناںسِ پَراوَرْتَّیَتَ، سْوَرْگِییَراجَتْوَں سَمِیپَماگَتَمْ۔
3 For this is he of whom Isaiah the prophet said, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.
پَرَمیشَسْیَ پَنْتھانَں پَرِشْکُرُتَ سَرْوَّتَح۔ تَسْیَ راجَپَتھاںشْچَیوَ سَمِیکُرُتَ سَرْوَّتھا۔ اِتْییتَتْ پْرانْتَرے واکْیَں وَدَتَح کَسْیَچِدْ رَوَح۔۔
4 Now John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.
ایتَدْوَچَنَں یِشَیِیَبھَوِشْیَدْوادِنا یوہَنَمُدِّشْیَ بھاشِتَمْ۔ یوہَنو وَسَنَں مَہانْگَرومَجَں تَسْیَ کَٹَو چَرْمَّکَٹِبَنْدھَنَں؛ سَ چَ شُوکَکِیٹانْ مَدھُ چَ بھُکْتَوانْ۔
5 Then Jerusalem and all Judaea went out to him, and all the people from near Jordan;
تَدانِیں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَنِواسِنَح سَرْوّے یِہُودِدیشِییا یَرْدَّنْتَٹِنْیا اُبھَیَتَٹَسْتھاشْچَ مانَوا بَہِراگَتْیَ تَسْیَ سَمِیپی
6 And they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying openly that they had done wrong.
سْوِییَں سْوِییَں دُرِتَمْ اَنْگِیکرِتْیَ تَسْیاں یَرْدَّنِ تینَ مَجِّتا بَبھُووُح۔
7 But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?
اَپَرَں بَہُونْ پھِرُوشِنَح سِدُوکِنَشْچَ مَنُجانْ مَںکْتُں سْوَسَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھتو وِلوکْیَ سَ تانْ اَبھِدَدھَو، رے رے بھُجَگَوَںشا آگامِینَح کوپاتْ پَلایِتُں یُشْمانْ کَشْچیتِتَوانْ؟
8 Let your change of heart be seen in your works:
مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَسْیَ سَمُچِتَں پھَلَں پھَلَتَ۔
9 And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for 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 put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire.
اَپَرَں پادَپاناں مُولے کُٹھارَ اِدانِیمَپِ لَگَنْ آسْتے، تَسْمادْ یَسْمِنْ پادَپے اُتَّمَں پھَلَں نَ بھَوَتِ، سَ کرِتّو مَدھْیےگْنِں نِکْشیپْسْیَتے۔
11 Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
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 In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.
تَسْیَ کارے سُورْپَ آسْتے، سَ سْوِییَشَسْیانِ سَمْیَکْ پْرَسْپھوٹْیَ نِجانْ سَکَلَگودھُومانْ سَںگرِہْیَ بھانْڈاگارے سْتھاپَیِشْیَتِ، کِںنْتُ سَرْوّانِ وُشانْیَنِرْوّانَوَہْنِنا داہَیِشْیَتِ۔
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُ رْیوہَنا مَجِّتو بھَوِتُں گالِیلْپْرَدیشادْ یَرْدَّنِ تَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ آجَگامَ۔
14 But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?
کِنْتُ یوہَنْ تَں نِشِدھْیَ بَبھاشے، تْوَں کِں مَمَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھَسِ؟ وَرَں تْوَیا مَجَّنَں مَمَ پْرَیوجَنَمْ آسْتے۔
15 But Jesus made answer, saying to him, Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. Then he gave him baptism.
تَدانِیں یِیشُح پْرَتْیَووچَتْ؛ اِیدانِیمْ اَنُمَنْیَسْوَ، یَتَ اِتّھَں سَرْوَّدھَرْمَّسادھَنَمْ اَسْماکَں کَرْتَّوْیَں، تَتَح سونْوَمَنْیَتَ۔
16 And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove;
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُرَمَّسِ مَجِّتُح سَنْ تَتْکْشَناتْ تویَمَدھْیادْ اُتّھایَ جَگامَ، تَدا جِیمُوتَدْوارے مُکْتے جاتے، سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیاتْمانَں کَپوتَوَدْ اَوَرُہْیَ سْووپَرْیّاگَچّھَنْتَں وِیکْشانْچَکْرے۔
17 And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
اَپَرَمْ ایشَ مَمَ پْرِیَح پُتْرَ ایتَسْمِنّیوَ مَمَ مَہاسَنْتوشَ ایتادرِشِی وْیومَجا واگْ بَبھُووَ۔
