Matthew 3
1 And in those days John the Immerser came, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea
V tisti dnéh pa pride Janez Krstnik, ter je v puščavi Judejskej oznanjeval,
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
In govoril: Spokorite se; kajti približalo se je nebeško kraljestvo.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one who calls out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.'"
Kajti ta je, za kogar je povedal prerok Izaija, govoreč: "Glas vpijočega v puščavi: Pripravite pot Gospodu; poravnajte steze njegove."
4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
On pa, Janez, imel je obleko svojo iz kamelje dlake, in pas usnjat okoli ledja svojega; a živež njegov je bil: kobilice in med divji.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him,
Tedaj je izhajal k njemu ves Jeruzalem in vsa Judeja in vsa okolica Jordanska.
6 and they were immersed by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
In on jih je krščeval v Jordanu, in izpovedovali so grehe svoje.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his immersion he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Ko pa vidi mnogo Farizejev in Saducejev, da gredó h krstu njegovemu, reče jim: Gadja zalega! kdo vam je pokazal, kako ubežite prihodnjej jezi?
8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
Rodite torej vreden sad pokore.
9 and do not think to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
In ne domišljujte si, da bi govorili v sebi: Abrahama imamo za očeta; kajti pravim vam, da more Bog iz tega kamenja obuditi Abrahamu sinove.
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.
Uže pa stojí tudi sekira drevju pri korenini: vsako drevo torej, ktero ne rodí dobrega sadú, posekalo se bo in vrglo na ogenj.
11 I indeed immerse 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 immerse you in the Ruach ha-Kodesh and with fire.
Jaz vas krščujem z vodo za pokoro; a ta, ki gre za menoj, močneji je od mene, kteremu nisem vreden obutala ponesti. On vas bo krstil z Duhom svetim in 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 v roki njegovej, in očedil bo gumno svoje, in pospravil bo pšenico svojo v žitnico, a plevo bo spalil z neugasljivim ognjem.
13 Then Yeshua came from Galil to the Jordan to John, to be immersed by him.
Tedaj pride Jezus iz Galileje k Janezu na Jordan, da ga on krsti.
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be immersed by you, and you come to me?"
Janez mu je pa branil, govoreč: Meni je treba, da me ti krstiš, pa hodiš ti 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.
Jezus pa odgovorí in mu reče: Pusti sedaj! kajti tako nam je treba izpolniti vsako pravico. Tedaj ga pustí.
16 And Yeshua, when he was immersed, went up directly from the water; and look, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Ruach of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
In krstivši se Jezus, stopi precej iz vode; in glej, nebesa mu se odpró, in Duha Božjega vidi, da shaja ko golob, in pride na-nj.
17 And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
In glej, glas z nebes, govoreč: Ta je sin moj ljubljeni, kteri je po mojej volji.
