< Matthew 3 >

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
تَدانوں یوہْنّاما مَجَّیِتا یِہُودِییَدیشَسْیَ پْرانْتَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ پْرَچارَیَنْ کَتھَیاماسَ،
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
مَناںسِ پَراوَرْتَّیَتَ، سْوَرْگِییَراجَتْوَں سَمِیپَماگَتَمْ۔
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one 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 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
ایتَدْوَچَنَں یِشَیِیَبھَوِشْیَدْوادِنا یوہَنَمُدِّشْیَ بھاشِتَمْ۔ یوہَنو وَسَنَں مَہانْگَرومَجَں تَسْیَ کَٹَو چَرْمَّکَٹِبَنْدھَنَں؛ سَ چَ شُوکَکِیٹانْ مَدھُ چَ بھُکْتَوانْ۔
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
تَدانِیں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَنِواسِنَح سَرْوّے یِہُودِدیشِییا یَرْدَّنْتَٹِنْیا اُبھَیَتَٹَسْتھاشْچَ مانَوا بَہِراگَتْیَ تَسْیَ سَمِیپی
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
سْوِییَں سْوِییَں دُرِتَمْ اَنْگِیکرِتْیَ تَسْیاں یَرْدَّنِ تینَ مَجِّتا بَبھُووُح۔
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee 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 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَسْیَ سَمُچِتَں پھَلَں پھَلَتَ۔
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
کِنْتْوَسْماکَں تاتَ اِبْراہِیمْ اَسْتِیتِ سْویشُ مَنَحسُ چِینْتَیَنْتو ما وْیاہَرَتَ۔ یَتو یُشْمانْ اَہَں وَدامِ، اِیشْوَرَ ایتیبھْیَح پاشانیبھْیَ اِبْراہِیمَح سَنْتانانْ اُتْپادَیِتُں شَکْنوتِ۔
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn 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 baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, 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 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
تَسْیَ کارے سُورْپَ آسْتے، سَ سْوِییَشَسْیانِ سَمْیَکْ پْرَسْپھوٹْیَ نِجانْ سَکَلَگودھُومانْ سَںگرِہْیَ بھانْڈاگارے سْتھاپَیِشْیَتِ، کِںنْتُ سَرْوّانِ وُشانْیَنِرْوّانَوَہْنِنا داہَیِشْیَتِ۔
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُ رْیوہَنا مَجِّتو بھَوِتُں گالِیلْپْرَدیشادْ یَرْدَّنِ تَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ آجَگامَ۔
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
کِنْتُ یوہَنْ تَں نِشِدھْیَ بَبھاشے، تْوَں کِں مَمَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھَسِ؟ وَرَں تْوَیا مَجَّنَں مَمَ پْرَیوجَنَمْ آسْتے۔
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
تَدانِیں یِیشُح پْرَتْیَووچَتْ؛ اِیدانِیمْ اَنُمَنْیَسْوَ، یَتَ اِتّھَں سَرْوَّدھَرْمَّسادھَنَمْ اَسْماکَں کَرْتَّوْیَں، تَتَح سونْوَمَنْیَتَ۔
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting 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 from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
اَپَرَمْ ایشَ مَمَ پْرِیَح پُتْرَ ایتَسْمِنّیوَ مَمَ مَہاسَنْتوشَ ایتادرِشِی وْیومَجا واگْ بَبھُووَ۔
