Matthew 3
1 And in those dayes, Iohn the Baptist came and preached in the wildernes of Iudea,
Mõne aja pärast hakkas tegutsema ristija Johannes ning ta kuulutas Juuda kõrbes:
2 And said, Repent: for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.
„Parandage meelt, sest taevariik on tulnud!“
3 For this is he of whome it is spoken by the Prophet Esaias, saying, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his pathes straight.
Tema oli see, kellest Jesaja kõneles, kui ta ütles: „Kõrbes kuuldakse häält hüüdmas: „Valmistage Issandale teed! Tehke rajad tema jaoks sirgeks!““
4 And this Iohn had his garment of camels heare, and a girdle of a skinne about his loynes: his meate was also locusts and wilde hony.
Johannese riided olid tehtud kaameli karvadest ja tal oli ümber nahkvöö. Tema toiduks olid jaanikaunad ja metsmesi.
5 Then went out to him Ierusalem and all Iudea, and all the region rounde about Iordan.
Rahvas tuli tema juurde Jeruusalemmast, tervest Juudast ja kogu Jordani piirkonnast
6 And they were baptized of him in Iordan, confessing their sinnes.
nad ristiti Jordani jões ning nad tunnistasid avalikult oma patte.
7 Now when he sawe many of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces come to his baptisme, he said vnto them, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the anger to come?
Aga kui Johannes nägi ristimisele tulemas palju varisere ja sadusere, ütles ta neile: „Te rästikute sigitised! Kes hoiatas teid tulevase kohtu eest põgenema?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruite worthy amendment of life.
Näidake tegudega, et olete tõeliselt meelt parandanud,
9 And thinke not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able euen of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
ja ärge julgege uhkelt endamisi öelda: „Aabraham on meie isa.“Ma ütlen teile, et Jumal võib teha Aabrahamile lapsi neist kividest.
10 And now also is the axe put to the roote of the trees: therfore euery tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into ye fire.
Tegelikult on kirves valmis puid maha raiuma. Iga puu, mis ei kanna head vilja, raiutakse maha ja heidetakse tulle.
11 In deede I baptize you with water to amendment of life, but he that commeth after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthie to beare: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
Jah, mina ristin teid veega meeleparanduse ilmutamiseks, aga pärast mind tuleb see, kes on minust suurem. Ma ei ole väärt isegi tema sandaale lahti päästma. Tema ristib teid Püha Vaimu ja tulega.
12 Which hath his fanne in his hand, and wil make cleane his floore, and gather his wheate into his garner, but will burne vp the chaffe with vnquenchable fire.
Tal on käes valmis sari. Ta puhastab rehealuse ja kogub nisu aita, kuid aganad põletab ta ära tulega, mida ei saa kustutada.“
13 Then came Iesus from Galile to Iordan vnto Iohn, to be baptized of him.
Siis tuli Jeesus Galileast Jordani jõe äärde, et lasta end Johannesel ristida.
14 But Iohn earnestly put him backe, saying, I haue neede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me?
Kuid Johannes üritas tema meelt muuta. Ta ütles Jeesusele: „Mul on vaja, et sina mind ristiksid, ja sina tuled minu juurde, et ma su ristiks?“
15 Then Iesus answering, saide to him, Let be nowe: for thus it becommeth vs to fulfill all righteousnes. So he suffered him.
„Palun tee seda, sest meie jaoks on hea teha seda, mis Jumala sõnul on õige, “vastas Jeesus talle. Niisiis oli Johannes nõus seda tegema.
16 And Iesus when hee was baptized, came straight out of the water. And lo, the heaues were opened vnto him, and Iohn saw the Spirit of God descending like a doue, and lighting vpon him.
Kohe pärast seda, kui Jeesus sai ristitud, tuli ta vest välja. Taevad avanesid ja ta nägi Jumala Vaimu nagu tuvi laskumas ja tema peale tulemas.
17 And loe, a voyce came from heauen, saying, This is my beloued Sonne, in whome I am well pleased.
Hääl taevast ütles: „See on minu poeg, keda ma armastan, kellest mul on hea meel.“
