< Luke 3 >
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias 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 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
hānan kiyaphāścemau pradhānayājākāvāstāṁ tadānīṁ sikhariyasya putrāya yohane madhyeprāntaram īśvarasya vākye prakāśite sati
3 And he came into all the country about the 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 Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
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 made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways 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 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
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 for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
tasmād ibrāhīm asmākaṁ pitā kathāmīdṛśīṁ manobhi rna kathayitvā yūyaṁ manaḥparivarttanayogyaṁ phalaṁ phalata; yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi pāṣāṇebhya etebhya īśvara ibrāhīmaḥ santānotpādane samarthaḥ|
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
aparañca tarumūle'dhunāpi paraśuḥ saṁlagnosti yastaruruttamaṁ phalaṁ na phalati sa chidyate'gnau nikṣipyate ca|
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
tadānīṁ lokāstaṁ papracchustarhi kiṁ karttavyamasmābhiḥ?
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
tataḥ sovādīt yasya dve vasane vidyete sa vastrahīnāyaikaṁ vitaratu kiṁñca yasya khādyadravyaṁ vidyate sopi tathaiva karotu|
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
tataḥ paraṁ karasañcāyino majjanārtham āgatya papracchuḥ he guro kiṁ karttavyamasmābhiḥ?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
tataḥ sokathayat nirūpitādadhikaṁ na gṛhlita|
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one 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 while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
aparañca lokā apekṣayā sthitvā sarvvepīti manobhi rvitarkayāñcakruḥ, yohanayam abhiṣiktastrātā na veti?
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in 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 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
aparañca tasya haste śūrpa āste sa svaśasyāni śuddharūpaṁ prasphoṭya godhūmān sarvvān bhāṇḍāgāre saṁgrahīṣyati kintu būṣāṇi sarvvāṇyanirvvāṇavahninā dāhayiṣyati|
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
yohan upadeśenetthaṁ nānākathā lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ pracārayāmāsa|
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
aparañca herod rājā philipnāmnaḥ sahodarasya bhāryyāṁ herodiyāmadhi tathānyāni yāni yāni kukarmmāṇi kṛtavān tadadhi ca
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
yohanā tiraskṛto bhūtvā kārāgāre tasya bandhanād aparamapi kukarmma cakāra|
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
itaḥ pūrvvaṁ yasmin samaye sarvve yohanā majjitāstadānīṁ yīśurapyāgatya majjitaḥ|
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with 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|
