< Matthew 3 >

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
تَدانوں یوہْنّاما مَجَّیِتا یِہُودِییَدیشَسْیَ پْرانْتَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ پْرَچارَیَنْ کَتھَیاماسَ،
2 saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
مَناںسِ پَراوَرْتَّیَتَ، سْوَرْگِییَراجَتْوَں سَمِیپَماگَتَمْ۔
3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!”
پَرَمیشَسْیَ پَنْتھانَں پَرِشْکُرُتَ سَرْوَّتَح۔ تَسْیَ راجَپَتھاںشْچَیوَ سَمِیکُرُتَ سَرْوَّتھا۔ اِتْییتَتْ پْرانْتَرے واکْیَں وَدَتَح کَسْیَچِدْ رَوَح۔۔
4 And John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
ایتَدْوَچَنَں یِشَیِیَبھَوِشْیَدْوادِنا یوہَنَمُدِّشْیَ بھاشِتَمْ۔ یوہَنو وَسَنَں مَہانْگَرومَجَں تَسْیَ کَٹَو چَرْمَّکَٹِبَنْدھَنَں؛ سَ چَ شُوکَکِیٹانْ مَدھُ چَ بھُکْتَوانْ۔
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country about the Jordan;
تَدانِیں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَنِواسِنَح سَرْوّے یِہُودِدیشِییا یَرْدَّنْتَٹِنْیا اُبھَیَتَٹَسْتھاشْچَ مانَوا بَہِراگَتْیَ تَسْیَ سَمِیپی
6 and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
سْوِییَں سْوِییَں دُرِتَمْ اَنْگِیکرِتْیَ تَسْیاں یَرْدَّنِ تینَ مَجِّتا بَبھُووُح۔
7 But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to be baptized, he said to them, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
اَپَرَں بَہُونْ پھِرُوشِنَح سِدُوکِنَشْچَ مَنُجانْ مَںکْتُں سْوَسَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھتو وِلوکْیَ سَ تانْ اَبھِدَدھَو، رے رے بھُجَگَوَںشا آگامِینَح کوپاتْ پَلایِتُں یُشْمانْ کَشْچیتِتَوانْ؟
8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance,
مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَسْیَ سَمُچِتَں پھَلَں پھَلَتَ۔
9 and think 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.
کِنْتْوَسْماکَں تاتَ اِبْراہِیمْ اَسْتِیتِ سْویشُ مَنَحسُ چِینْتَیَنْتو ما وْیاہَرَتَ۔ یَتو یُشْمانْ اَہَں وَدامِ، اِیشْوَرَ ایتیبھْیَح پاشانیبھْیَ اِبْراہِیمَح سَنْتانانْ اُتْپادَیِتُں شَکْنوتِ۔
10 And already 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.
اَپَرَں پادَپاناں مُولے کُٹھارَ اِدانِیمَپِ لَگَنْ آسْتے، تَسْمادْ یَسْمِنْ پادَپے اُتَّمَں پھَلَں نَ بھَوَتِ، سَ کرِتّو مَدھْیےگْنِں نِکْشیپْسْیَتے۔
11 I indeed baptize you in water, for repentance; but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
اَپَرَمْ اَہَں مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَسُوچَکینَ مَجَّنینَ یُشْمانْ مَجَّیامِیتِ سَتْیَں، کِنْتُ مَمَ پَشْچادْ یَ آگَچّھَتِ، سَ مَتّوپِ مَہانْ، اَہَں تَدِییوپانَہَو ووڈھُمَپِ نَہِ یوگْیوسْمِ، سَ یُشْمانْ وَہْنِرُوپے پَوِتْرَ آتْمَنِ سَںمَجَّیِشْیَتِ۔
12 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
تَسْیَ کارے سُورْپَ آسْتے، سَ سْوِییَشَسْیانِ سَمْیَکْ پْرَسْپھوٹْیَ نِجانْ سَکَلَگودھُومانْ سَںگرِہْیَ بھانْڈاگارے سْتھاپَیِشْیَتِ، کِںنْتُ سَرْوّانِ وُشانْیَنِرْوّانَوَہْنِنا داہَیِشْیَتِ۔
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُ رْیوہَنا مَجِّتو بھَوِتُں گالِیلْپْرَدیشادْ یَرْدَّنِ تَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ آجَگامَ۔
14 But John opposed him, saying, I have need to be baptized by thee, and dost thou come to me?
کِنْتُ یوہَنْ تَں نِشِدھْیَ بَبھاشے، تْوَں کِں مَمَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھَسِ؟ وَرَں تْوَیا مَجَّنَں مَمَ پْرَیوجَنَمْ آسْتے۔
15 And Jesus answering said to him, Suffer it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
تَدانِیں یِیشُح پْرَتْیَووچَتْ؛ اِیدانِیمْ اَنُمَنْیَسْوَ، یَتَ اِتّھَں سَرْوَّدھَرْمَّسادھَنَمْ اَسْماکَں کَرْتَّوْیَں، تَتَح سونْوَمَنْیَتَ۔
16 And Jesus, as soon as he was baptized, went up from the water; and, lo! the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God, descending like a dove, coming upon him.
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُرَمَّسِ مَجِّتُح سَنْ تَتْکْشَناتْ تویَمَدھْیادْ اُتّھایَ جَگامَ، تَدا جِیمُوتَدْوارے مُکْتے جاتے، سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیاتْمانَں کَپوتَوَدْ اَوَرُہْیَ سْووپَرْیّاگَچّھَنْتَں وِیکْشانْچَکْرے۔
17 And lo! a voice from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
اَپَرَمْ ایشَ مَمَ پْرِیَح پُتْرَ ایتَسْمِنّیوَ مَمَ مَہاسَنْتوشَ ایتادرِشِی وْیومَجا واگْ بَبھُووَ۔
