< 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 pañcadaśē vatsarē sati yadā pantīyapīlātō yihūdādēśādhipati rhērōd tu gālīlpradēśasya rājā philipanāmā tasya bhrātā tu yitūriyāyāstrākhōnītiyāpradēśasya ca rājāsīt luṣānīyanāmā avilīnīdēśasya rājāsīt
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
hānan kiyaphāścēmau pradhānayājākāvāstāṁ tadānīṁ sikhariyasya putrāya yōhanē madhyēprāntaram īśvarasya vākyē prakāśitē sati
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
sa yarddana ubhayataṭapradēśān samētya pāpamōcanārthaṁ manaḥparāvarttanasya cihnarūpaṁ yanmajjanaṁ tadīyāḥ kathāḥ sarvvatra pracārayitumārēbhē|
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!
yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvaktr̥granthē yādr̥śī lipirāstē yathā, paramēśasya 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;
kāriṣyantē samucchrāyāḥ sakalā nimnabhūmayaḥ| kāriṣyantē natāḥ sarvvē parvvatāścōpaparvvatāḥ| kāriṣyantē ca yā vakrāstāḥ sarvvāḥ saralā bhuvaḥ| kāriṣyantē samānāstā yā uccanīcabhūmayaḥ|
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
īśvarēṇa kr̥taṁ trāṇaṁ drakṣyanti sarvvamānavāḥ| ityētat prāntarē 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?
yē yē lōkā majjanārthaṁ bahirāyayustān sōvadat rē rē sarpavaṁśā āgāminaḥ kōpāt palāyituṁ yuṣmān kaścētayāmāsa?
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 kathāmīdr̥śīṁ manōbhi rna kathayitvā yūyaṁ manaḥparivarttanayōgyaṁ phalaṁ phalata; yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi pāṣāṇēbhya ētēbhya īśvara ibrāhīmaḥ santānōtpādanē 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 tarumūlē'dhunāpi paraśuḥ saṁlagnōsti yastaruruttamaṁ phalaṁ na phalati sa chidyatē'gnau nikṣipyatē ca|
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
tadānīṁ lōkāstaṁ 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 sōvādīt yasya dvē vasanē vidyētē sa vastrahīnāyaikaṁ vitaratu kiṁñca yasya khādyadravyaṁ vidyatē sōpi tathaiva karōtu|
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
tataḥ paraṁ karasañcāyinō majjanārtham āgatya papracchuḥ hē gurō kiṁ karttavyamasmābhiḥ?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
tataḥ sōkathayat nirūpitādadhikaṁ na gr̥hlita|
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 sēnāgaṇa ētya papraccha kimasmābhi rvā karttavyam? tataḥ sōbhidadhē kasya kāmapi hāniṁ mā kārṣṭa tathā mr̥ṣāpavādaṁ mā kuruta nijavētanēna 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 lōkā apēkṣayā sthitvā sarvvēpīti manōbhi rvitarkayāñcakruḥ, yōhanayam abhiṣiktastrātā na vēti?
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 yōhan sarvvān vyājahāra, jalē'haṁ yuṣmān majjayāmi satyaṁ kintu yasya pādukābandhanaṁ mōcayitumapi na yōgyōsmi tādr̥śa ēkō mattō gurutaraḥ pumān ēti, sa yuṣmān vahnirūpē 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 hastē śūrpa āstē sa svaśasyāni śuddharūpaṁ prasphōṭya gōdhūmān sarvvān bhāṇḍāgārē saṁgrahīṣyati kintu būṣāṇi sarvvāṇyanirvvāṇavahninā dāhayiṣyati|
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
yōhan upadēśēnētthaṁ nānākathā lōkānāṁ 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 hērōd rājā philipnāmnaḥ sahōdarasya bhāryyāṁ hērōdiyāmadhi tathānyāni yāni yāni kukarmmāṇi kr̥tavān tadadhi ca
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
yōhanā tiraskr̥tō bhūtvā kārāgārē 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 samayē sarvvē yōhanā 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 tēna prārthitē mēghadvāraṁ muktaṁ tasmācca pavitra ātmā mūrttimān bhūtvā kapōtavat taduparyyavarurōha; tadā tvaṁ mama priyaḥ putrastvayi mama paramaḥ santōṣa ityākāśavāṇī babhūva|
