< Luke 3 >
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;
कैसर तिबेरियसको पन्ध्रौँ वर्षमा, जति बेला पन्तियस पिलातस यहूदियाका शासक थिए, हेरोद गालीलका शासक र उनका भाइ फिलिप इतुरिया र त्राखोनितिसका शासक थिए । लुसानियास अबिलेनेका शासक थिए ।
2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
हन्नास र कैयाफा प्रधान पुजारी भएको समयमा, जकरियाका छोरा यूहन्नाकहाँ उजाड-स्थानमा परमेश्वरको वचन आयो ।
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
उनले पाप क्षमाका निम्ति बप्तिस्माको प्रचार गर्दै यर्दन नदी वरपरिका क्षेत्रहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै हिँडे ।
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.
जसरी यशैया अगमवक्ताको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ, “उजाड-स्थानमा कसैको आवाजले बोलाइरहेको छ, प्रभुको मार्ग तयार पार, उहाँका मार्गहरू सोझो बनाऊ ।
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;
हरेक उपत्यका बनाइनेछ, हरेक पहाड र डाँडाहरू समतल पारिनेछ, बाङ्गा बाटाहरू सोझो हुन आउनेछन् र नराम्रा बाटोहरू राम्रा बनाइनेछन् ।
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
सबै मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरको उद्धारलाई देख्नेछन् ।”
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?
यसकारण, यूहन्नाले उनीकहाँ बप्तिस्मा लिन आइरहेको ठुलो भिडलाई भने, “हे विषालु सर्पका सन्तान हो, कसले तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्वरको आउँदै गरेको क्रोधबाट भाग्नलाई चेताउनी दियो?
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.
पश्चात्ताप योग्यको फल फलाओ र आफ्नो मनमा हाम्रा पिता त अब्राहाम हुन् भन्न छोड, किनभने परमेश्वरले यी चट्टानहरूबाट पनि अब्राहामको निम्ति सन्तान खडा गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।
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.
रुखहरूको जरामा बन्चरो परिसकेको छ । त्यसैले, असल फल नफलाउने हरेक रुख काटिनेछ र आगोमा फालिनेछ ।”
10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
तब भिडबाट मानिसहरूले यसो भन्दै सोधे, “त्यसो भए हामीले के गर्ने त?”
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.
उनले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “दुई जोर दौरा हुनेले नहुनेलाई दिओस् । त्यसै गरी, जससँग खानेकुरा छ, त्यसले नहुनेलाई दिओस् ।”
12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
त्यसपछि केही कर उठाउनेहरू पनि उनीकहाँ बप्तिस्मा लिन आए र भने, “गुरु, हामीले के गर्ने नि?”
13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
उनले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरूले उठाउनुपर्ने भन्दा बढी पैसा नउठाउनू ।”
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.
केही सिपाहीहरू पनि आएर सोधे, “हाम्रो बारेमा नि? हामीले के गर्ने?” उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले अरूहरूबाट जबरजस्ती पैसा नलेओ र कसैलाई पनि झुटो दोष नलगाओ, तर आफ्ना तलबमा नै सन्तुष्ट होओ ।”
15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
तब मानिसहरूले ख्रीष्ट आउनुहुन्छ भनेर उत्सुकतासाथ प्रतीक्षा गरिरहेका थिए, कतै यूहन्ना नै पो ख्रीष्ट हुन् कि भनेर हरेकको मनमा दोधार भइरहेको थियो ।
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:
यूहन्नाले तिनीहरू सबैलाई जवाफ दिए, “म तिमीहरूलाई पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिन्छु, तर मभन्दा अर्का शक्तिशाली व्यक्ति आउनुहुन्छ, जसको जुत्ताको फित्ता फुकाल्न पनि म योग्यको छैनँ । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मा र आगोले बप्तिस्मा दिनुहुनेछ ।
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.
उहाँको खला सफा गर्न र अन्नलाई भण्डारमा जम्मा गर्नलाई उहाँको हातमा निफन्ने नाङ्लो छ । तर उहाँले भुसलाई चाहिँ कहिल्यै ननिभ्ने आगोमा जलाउनुहुनेछ ।
18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
उहाँले मानिसहरूलाई अझ धेरै उत्साह दिँदै सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्नुभयो ।
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;
यूहन्नाले हेरोदलाई उनका भाइकी पत्नी हेरोदियासलाई विवाह गरेको साथै उनले गरेको अन्य खराबीहरूका निम्ति पनि हप्काए ।
20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
तर हेरोदले अझ बढी दुष्ट काम गरे । किनभने उनले यूहन्नालाई जेलमा हालेका थिए ।
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
यूहन्नाले मानिसहरूलाई बप्तिस्मा दिँदै गर्दा, येशूलाई पनि बप्तिस्मा दिइयो । जब उहाँले प्रार्थना गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, तब स्वर्ग खुल्यो ।
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.
पवित्र आत्मा उहाँमाथि ढुकुरजस्तै ओर्लनुभयो । त्यसै बेला स्वर्गबाट यस्तो आवाज आयो, “तिमी मेरा प्रिय पुत्र हौ, म तिमीसँग प्रसन्न छु ।”
23 And Jesus himself was beginning about the age of thirty years; being (as it was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was of Heli, who was of Mathat,
येशूले आफैँ सिकाउन सुरु गर्नुहुँदा उहाँ तिस वर्षको हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँ योसेफका छोरा (जस्तो सोचिएको थियो) हुनुहुन्थ्यो, योसेफ एलीका छोरा थिए ।
