< Matthew 3 >

1 In then the days those comes John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judea
उन दिनां म्ह यूहन्ना बपतिस्मा देण आळा आकै यहूदिया परदेस के जंगल-बियाबान म्ह यो प्रचार करण लाग्या:
2 and saying; do repent; has drawn near for the kingdom of the heavens.
“पाप करणा छोड़ द्यो, क्यूँके सुर्ग का राज्य धोरै आ लिया सै।”
3 This for is the [One] having been spoken of (through *N(k)O*) Isaiah the prophet saying; [The] voice of one crying in the wilderness do prepare the way of [the] Lord, straight do make the paths of Him.
यो वोए सै, जिसका जिक्र यशायाह नबी कै जरिये करया गया: “जंगल-बियाबान म्ह तै ए कोए रुक्का देवै सै, के प्रभु का राह तैयार करो अर उसकी सड़क सीध्धी करो।”
4 Himself now John was having the garment of him of hair of a camel and a belt of leather around the waist of him; and [the] food was of him locusts and honey wild.
यूहन्ना ऊँट के रुए के लत्ते पहरणीया अर अपणी कड़ म्ह चमड़े की पेट्टी-बाँधे रहवै था। उसका खाणपान टिड्डियाँ अर शहद था।
5 At that time were going out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region around the Jordan,
फेर यरुशलेम नगर अर सारे यहूदिया परदेस अर यरदन नदी कै लोवै-धोवै की सारी जगहां के माणस उसकै धोरै आ ग्ये।
6 and were being baptized in the Jordan (River *no*) by him confessing the sins of them.
उन सारया नै अपणे-अपणे पापां नै मानकै यरदन नदी म्ह उसतै बपतिस्मा लिया।
7 Having seen now many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism of him he said to them; Brood of vipers, who forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath?
जिब उसनै घणे सारे फरीसियाँ अर सदूकियाँ ताहीं अपणे धोरै बपतिस्मा लेण खात्तर आन्दे देख्या, तो बोल्या, “हे साँप के सप्पोलों जिसे माणसों, थम नरक की सजा तै किस ढाळ बचोगे? (questioned)
8 do produce therefore (fruit worthy *N(k)O*) of repentance.
इस खात्तर जै थमनै सच म्ह पाप करणा छोड़ दिया सै तो यो दिखाण खात्तर भले काम तो करो।
9 And not may you presume to say within yourselves; [As] father we have Abraham; I say for to you that able is God out of stones these to raise up children to Abraham.
अर अपणे-अपणे मन म्ह न्यू मतना सोच्चो के म्हारा पिता अब्राहम सै। क्यूँके मै थमनै कहूँ सूं के परमेसवर इन पत्थरां तै अब्राहम कै खात्तर ऊलाद पैदा कर सकै सै।
10 Already now (and *k*) the ax to the root of the trees is applied. every therefore tree not producing fruit good is cut down and into [the] fire is thrown.
इब कुहाड़ा दरखतां की जड़ पै धरया सै, इस करकै जो-जो दरखत बढ़िया फळ न्ही ल्यांदा, वो काट्या अर आग म्ह झोक्या जावैगा। इसका मतलब यो सै परमेसवर उन सारया नै दण्ड देवैगा जो पाप करणा न्ही छोड़ते।
11 I myself indeed you baptize with water to repentance, however after me is coming mightier than I He is of whom not I am fit the sandals to carry; He himself you will baptize with [the] Spirit Holy and with fire;
“मै तो थमनै पाणी तै, पापां ताहीं छोड़ण का बपतिस्मा देऊ सूं, पर जो मेरै पाच्छै आवैगा, वो मेरै तै भी शक्तिशाली सै। मै उसकी जूत्ती ठाण जोग्गा भी कोनी। वो थमनै पवित्र आत्मा अर आग तै बपतिस्मा देवैगा।
12 whose winnowing fork [is] in the hand of Him, and He will clear the threshing floor of Him and will gather the wheat of Him into the barn (of him *o*) the but chaff He will burn up with fire unquenchable.
उसका छाज उसकै हाथ म्ह सै, अर वो अपणा खलिहाण आच्छी तरियां साफ करैगा, अर अपणे नाज नै अपणे कोठार (गोदाम) म्ह कठ्ठा करैगा, पर भुरळी ताहीं उस आग म्ह जळावैगा जो कदे बुझै कोनी।”
13 Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John to be baptized by him.
उस बखत यीशु गलील परदेस तै यरदन नदी कै कन्ठारे यूहन्ना कै धोरै उसतै बपतिस्मा लेण आया।
14 But John was hindering Him saying; I myself need have by You to be baptized, and You yourself come to me?
पर या कहकै यूहन्ना उसनै रोक्कण लाग्या, “कै मन्नै तो तेरे हाथ तै बपतिस्मा लेण की जरूरत सै, अर तू मेरै धोरै आया सै?”
15 Answering however Jesus said unto (him; *NK(o)*) do permit [it] now; thus for fitting it is to us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he permits Him.
यीशु नै उसतै जवाब दिया, “कै इब तो योए होण दे, क्यूँ कै हमनै इस्से तरियां तै सारी धार्मिकता पूरी करणा ठीक सै।” फेर उसनै उसकी बात मान ली।
16 (and *k*) Having been baptized (now *no*) Jesus immediately went up from the water. and behold were opened to Him the heavens, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and alighting upon Him.
अर यीशु बपतिस्मा लेकै जिब पाणी तै उप्पर आया, अर अकास खुलग्या, अर उसनै परमेसवर की पवित्र आत्मा ताहीं कबूतर की तरियां उतरते अर अपणे उप्पर आन्दे देख्या।
17 And behold a voice out of the heavens saying; This is the Son of Mine the beloved in whom I was well pleased.
अर देक्खो, परमेसवर सुर्ग म्ह तै बोल्या, “कै यो मेरा प्यारा बेट्टा सै, जिसतै मै भोत घणा राज्जी सूं।”
