< Luke 3 >

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
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 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word (rhema) of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
हन्‍नास र कैयाफा प्रधान पुजारी भएको समयमा, जकरियाका छोरा यूहन्‍नाकहाँ उजाड-स्थानमा परमेश्‍वरको वचन आयो ।
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
उनले पाप क्षमाका निम्ति बप्‍तिस्माको प्रचार गर्दै यर्दन नदी वरपरिका क्षेत्रहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै हिँडे ।
4 As it is written in the book of the words (logos) of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare all of you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
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 shall be made smooth;
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 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned 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 repentance, and begin 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.
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 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is hewn 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 shall we do then?
तब भिडबाट मानिसहरूले यसो भन्दै सोधे, “त्यसो भए हामीले के गर्ने त?”
11 He answers and says unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
उनले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “दुई जोर दौरा हुनेले नहुनेलाई दिओस् । त्यसै गरी, जससँग खानेकुरा छ, त्यसले नहुनेलाई दिओस् ।”
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
त्यसपछि केही कर उठाउनेहरू पनि उनीकहाँ बप्‍तिस्मा लिन आए र भने, “गुरु, हामीले के गर्ने नि?”
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
उनले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरूले उठाउनुपर्ने भन्दा बढी पैसा नउठाउनू ।”
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
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 in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
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 them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) 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 thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
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 in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
उहाँले मानिसहरूलाई अझ धेरै उत्साह दिँदै सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्नुभयो ।
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip'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 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
तर हेरोदले अझ बढी दुष्‍ट काम गरे । किनभने उनले यूहन्‍नालाई जेलमा हालेका थिए ।
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
यूहन्‍नाले मानिसहरूलाई बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै गर्दा, येशूलाई पनि बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिइयो । जब उहाँले प्रार्थना गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो, तब स्वर्ग खुल्यो ।
22 And the Holy Spirit (pneuma) descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, You are my beloved Son; in you 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 began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
येशूले आफैँ सिकाउन सुरु गर्नुहुँदा उहाँ तिस वर्षको हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँ योसेफका छोरा (जस्तो सोचिएको थियो) हुनुहुन्थ्यो, योसेफ एलीका छोरा थिए ।
