Matthew 3
1 And in those days Yukhanan the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Yehuda
U ono pak doba doðe Jovan krstitelj, i uèaše u pustinji Judejskoj.
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
I govoraše: pokajte se, jer se približi carstvo nebesko.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Eshayah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one who calls out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.'"
Jer je to onaj za koga je govorio prorok Isaija gdje kaže: glas onoga što vièe u pustinji: pripravite put Gospodu, i poravnite staze njegove.
4 Now Yukhanan himself wore clothing made of camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
A Jovan imaše haljinu od dlake kamilje i pojas kožan oko sebe; a hrana njegova bijaše skakavci i med divlji.
5 Then people from Urishlim, all of Yehuda, and all the region around the Yurdinan went out to him,
Tada izlažaše k njemu Jerusalim i sva Judeja, i sva okolina Jordanska.
6 and they were baptized by him in the Yurdinan river, confessing their sins.
I on ih kršæavaše u Jordanu, i ispovijedahu grijehe svoje.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
A kad vidje Jovan) mnoge fariseje i sadukeje gdje idu da ih krsti, reèe im: porodi aspidini! ko kaza vama da bježite od gnjeva koji ide?
8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
Rodite dakle rod dostojan pokajanja.
9 and do not think to yourselves, 'We have Avraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Avraham from these stones.
I ne mislite i ne govorite u sebi: imamo oca Avraama; jer vam kažem da može Bog i od kamenja ovoga podignuti djecu Avraamu.
10 "Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
Veæ i sjekira kod korijena drvetu stoji; svako dakle drvo koje ne raða dobra roda, sijeèe se i u oganj se baca.
11 I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but the one who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Rukha d'Qudsha and with fire.
Ja dakle kršæavam vas vodom za pokajanje; a onaj što ide za mnom, jaèi je od mene; ja nijesam dostojan njemu obuæe ponijeti; on æe vas krstiti Duhom svetijem i ognjem.
12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."
Njemu je lopata u ruci njegovoj, pa æe otrijebiti gumno svoje, i skupiæe pšenicu svoju u žitnicu, a pljevu æe sažeæi ognjem vjeènijem.
13 Then Yeshua came from Galila to the Yurdinan to Yukhanan, to be baptized by him.
Tada doðe Isus iz Galileje na Jordan k Jovanu da se krsti.
14 But Yukhanan would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
A Jovan branjaše mu govoreæi: ti treba mene da krstiš, a ti li dolaziš k meni?
15 But Yeshua, answering, said to him, "Allow it to happen now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.
A Isus odgovori i reèe mu: ostavi sad, jer tako nam treba ispuniti svaku pravdu. Tada Jovan ostavi ga.
16 And Yeshua, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water; and look, the heavens were opened and he saw the Rukha of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
I krstivši se Isus iziðe odmah iz vode; i gle, otvoriše mu se nebesa, i vidje Duha Božijega gdje silazi kao golub i doðe na njega.
17 And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
I gle, glas s neba koji govori: ovo je sin moj ljubazni koji je po mojoj volji.
