< Luke 3 >
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, 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,
anantaraṁ tibiriyakaisarasya rājatvasya pañcadaśe vatsare sati yadā pantīyapīlāto yihūdādeśādhipati rherod tu gālīlpradeśasya rājā philipanāmā tasya bhrātā tu yitūriyāyāstrākhonītiyāpradeśasya ca rājāsīt luṣānīyanāmā avilīnīdeśasya rājāsīt
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
hānan kiyaphāścemau pradhānayājākāvāstāṁ tadānīṁ sikhariyasya putrāya yohane madhyeprāntaram īśvarasya vākye prakāśite sati
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
sa yarddana ubhayataṭapradeśān sametya pāpamocanārthaṁ manaḥparāvarttanasya cihnarūpaṁ yanmajjanaṁ tadīyāḥ kathāḥ sarvvatra pracārayitumārebhe|
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvaktṛgranthe yādṛśī lipirāste yathā, parameśasya panthānaṁ pariṣkuruta sarvvataḥ| tasya rājapathañcaiva samānaṁ kurutādhunā|
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;
kāriṣyante samucchrāyāḥ sakalā nimnabhūmayaḥ| kāriṣyante natāḥ sarvve parvvatāścopaparvvatāḥ| kāriṣyante ca yā vakrāstāḥ sarvvāḥ saralā bhuvaḥ| kāriṣyante samānāstā yā uccanīcabhūmayaḥ|
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
īśvareṇa kṛtaṁ trāṇaṁ drakṣyanti sarvvamānavāḥ| ityetat prāntare vākyaṁ vadataḥ kasyacid ravaḥ||
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
ye ye lokā majjanārthaṁ bahirāyayustān sovadat re re sarpavaṁśā āgāminaḥ kopāt palāyituṁ yuṣmān kaścetayāmāsa?
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.
tasmād ibrāhīm asmākaṁ pitā kathāmīdṛśīṁ manobhi rna kathayitvā yūyaṁ manaḥparivarttanayogyaṁ phalaṁ phalata; yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi pāṣāṇebhya etebhya īśvara ibrāhīmaḥ santānotpādane samarthaḥ|
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
aparañca tarumūle'dhunāpi paraśuḥ saṁlagnosti yastaruruttamaṁ phalaṁ na phalati sa chidyate'gnau nikṣipyate ca|
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
tadānīṁ lokāstaṁ papracchustarhi kiṁ karttavyamasmābhiḥ?
11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
tataḥ sovādīt yasya dve vasane vidyete sa vastrahīnāyaikaṁ vitaratu kiṁñca yasya khādyadravyaṁ vidyate sopi tathaiva karotu|
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
tataḥ paraṁ karasañcāyino majjanārtham āgatya papracchuḥ he guro kiṁ karttavyamasmābhiḥ?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
tataḥ sokathayat nirūpitādadhikaṁ na gṛhlita|
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.
anantaraṁ senāgaṇa etya papraccha kimasmābhi rvā karttavyam? tataḥ sobhidadhe kasya kāmapi hāniṁ mā kārṣṭa tathā mṛṣāpavādaṁ mā kuruta nijavetanena ca santuṣya tiṣṭhata|
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
aparañca lokā apekṣayā sthitvā sarvvepīti manobhi rvitarkayāñcakruḥ, yohanayam abhiṣiktastrātā na veti?
16 John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
tadā yohan sarvvān vyājahāra, jale'haṁ yuṣmān majjayāmi satyaṁ kintu yasya pādukābandhanaṁ mocayitumapi na yogyosmi tādṛśa eko matto gurutaraḥ pumān eti, sa yuṣmān vahnirūpe pavitra ātmani majjayiṣyati|
17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
aparañca tasya haste śūrpa āste sa svaśasyāni śuddharūpaṁ prasphoṭya godhūmān sarvvān bhāṇḍāgāre saṁgrahīṣyati kintu būṣāṇi sarvvāṇyanirvvāṇavahninā dāhayiṣyati|
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
yohan upadeśenetthaṁ nānākathā lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ pracārayāmāsa|
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,
aparañca herod rājā philipnāmnaḥ sahodarasya bhāryyāṁ herodiyāmadhi tathānyāni yāni yāni kukarmmāṇi kṛtavān tadadhi ca
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
yohanā tiraskṛto bhūtvā kārāgāre tasya bandhanād aparamapi kukarmma cakāra|
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
itaḥ pūrvvaṁ yasmin samaye sarvve yohanā majjitāstadānīṁ yīśurapyāgatya majjitaḥ|
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
tadanantaraṁ tena prārthite meghadvāraṁ muktaṁ tasmācca pavitra ātmā mūrttimān bhūtvā kapotavat taduparyyavaruroha; tadā tvaṁ mama priyaḥ putrastvayi mama paramaḥ santoṣa ityākāśavāṇī babhūva|
