Matthew 3
1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea.
Etu somoite Baptizma diya John ahise aru Isor laga kotha prochar kori kene Judea laga sunsan jagate ahise,
2 And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
aru eneka koise, “Mon ghura bhi, kele koile sorgo laga rajyo to usorte ahi jaise.”
3 For this is he that was spoken of by Isaias the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
Kilekoile bhabobadi Isaiah pora tai laga he kotha koi diya eneka likha ase, “Ekjon kunba sunsan jaga pora hala kori ase, ‘Isor laga rasta taiyar koribi, Tai laga rasta sidha koribi.”
4 And the same John had his garment of camels’ hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Etiya, John to uth janwar laga chuli pora bona kapra lagai aru komor te chamra laga peti pora bandhe. Aru tai pango aru jongol laga mou pani he khai.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the country about Jordan:
Titia Jerusalem sheher, aru pura Judea desh, aru Jordan Nodi laga sob jaga pora manu khan taike lok kori bole ahe.
6 And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
Taikhan laga paap shikar kora pichete, John pora Jordan Nodi te taikhan ke baptizma di thakise.
7 And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
Kintu tai logot bisi Pharisee aru Sadducee khan baptizma lobole ahi thaka dikhise, aru tai taikhan ke koise, “Tumikhan saph laga bacha khan, kun koise tumikhan Isor laga khong pora polabo karone?
8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance.
Etu nimite, mon ghura laga bijon apnikhan laga kaam pora dikhai dibi.
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Apnikhan laga monte ‘Amikhan laga purbojo Abraham ase’ eneka nabhabi bhi. Moi tumikhan ke koi ase Isor to etu pathor khan loi kene Abraham laga khandan bonabo pare.
10 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire.
Kintu sob ghas khan kati bole kuthar to age pora taiyar hoi kene ase. Juntu ghas bhal phol nadhure etu ghas ke katikena jui te phelai dibo.
11 I indeed baptize you in the water unto penance, but he that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire.
Moi to tumikhan ke pani pora he baptizma dibo. Kintu Jun ami laga pichete ahi ase, Tai to ami pora bisi hokti thaka ase, Tai laga chapal moi dhori bole layak nai. Tai tumikhan ke Pobitro Atma aru jui pora baptizma dibo.
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
Tai dhaan kati bole dao loi kene ahi ase, sob dhaan ke dhaan ghor te joma kori kene ghas khan ke kitia bhi khotom nohobole jui te phelai dibo.”
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him.
Etu pichete Jisu Galilee jaga pora ulaikena baptizma lobole Jordan Nodi te John logot ahise.
14 But John stayed him, saying: I ought to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me?
Hoilebi John to Jisu ke rukhabole bisi kosis korise, aru eneka koise, “Ami he Apuni laga hath pora baptizma lobo lage, hoilebi Apuni he moi logote ahise?”
15 And Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfill all justice. Then he suffered him.
Kintu Jisu taike eneka koise, “Etiya karone to eneka koridi bhi, kele koile Amikhan bhi dharmikta kaam sob pura korile he thik ase.” Etu pichete John pora kotha mani loise.
16 And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him: and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him.
Jitia Jisu baptizma loi kene pani pora ulaise, sorgo pora ekta pohor ahise aru Isor laga Atma kopu chiriya nisena hoi kene Tai uporte rukhi jaise.
17 And behold a voice from heaven, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Etu pichete, sabi, ekta awaj sorgo pora koise, “Etu Ami laga bisi morom thaka Putro ase. Ami Tai uporte bisi khushi ase.”
