Luke 3
1 When the Emperor Tiberius had been ruling [the Roman Empire] for 15 years, and while Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea [district], and Herod [Antipas] was ruling Galilee [district], and his brother Philip was ruling Iturea and Trachonitis [districts], and Lysanius was ruling Abilene [district],
१आता तिबिर्य कैसराच्या कारकिर्दीच्या पंधराव्या वर्षी, जेव्हा पंतय पिलात यहूदीया प्रांताचा शासक होता आणि हेरोद चौथाई गालील प्रांताचा शासक असताना आणि त्याचा भाऊ फिलिप्प हा चौथाई इतुरीया व त्राखोनीती या देशांचा शासक व लूसनिय हा चौथाई अबिलेनेचा शासक होता.
2 and while Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests [in Jerusalem], God gave messages to Zechariah’s son John while he was living in the desolate region.
२आणि हन्ना व कयफा हे मुख्य याजक लोक होते, तेव्हा अरण्यात देवाचे वचन जखऱ्याचा पुत्र योहान याच्याकडे आले.
3 [So] John went all over the area close to the Jordan [River]. He kept telling people, “If you want [God] to forgive you for your sins, you must (repent/turn away from your sinful behavior) [before you ask me] to baptize [you]!”
३तो यार्देनेच्या सभोवतालच्या सर्व परिसरात पापांच्या क्षमेसाठी पश्चात्ताप करून बाप्तिस्मा घ्यावा अशी घोषणा करत फिरला.
4 John was the one who [fulfilled] these words that had [been written] by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had written} on a scroll [long ago]: In a desolate area, someone [SYN] will be heard shouting [to the people who pass by], “Prepare yourselves [to receive] the Lord when he comes! [Make yourselves ready so that you will be prepared when he comes], [just like people] straighten out the road [MET] [for an important official] [MET, DOU]!
४यशया संदेष्ट्याच्या पुस्तकात लिहिल्याप्रमाणे हे झालेः “रानात घोषणा करणाऱ्याची वाणी झाली ती अशी, ‘परमेश्वराचा मार्ग तयार करा, त्याच्या वाटा सरळ करा.
5 [Just like people] level off all the places where the land rises and [just like they] fill all the ravines, and [just like people] make the road straight wherever it is crooked, and [just like people] make smooth the bumps in the road, [similarly you need to remove all the obstacles which prevent God from blessing you]!
५प्रत्येक दरी भरली जाईल, आणि प्रत्येक डोंगर व टेकडी सपाट केली जाईल, वांकडी सरळ होतील, आणि खडबडीत मार्ग सपाट केले जातील
6 Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
६आणि सर्व मनुष्यप्राणी देवाचे तारण पाहतील.’”
7 Although large groups of people came to John to be baptized {in order that he would baptize them}, [he knew that many of them were not sincere]. So he kept saying to them, “You [people are evil] [MET] [like] poisonous snakes! [I] warn you that [God] will some day punish [MTY] [everyone] who sins. And (do not think that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior!/did someone tell you] that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior]?) [RHQ] (OR, Who told you that you could escape [God’s punishment?])
७त्याच्याकडून बाप्तिस्मा करून घेण्यासाठी येणाऱ्या जमावाला योहान म्हणाला; “अहो, विषारी सापाच्या पिलांनो, येणाऱ्या क्रोधापासून सुटका करून घेण्यासाठी तुम्हास कोणी सावध केले?
8 Do what is appropriate for people who have truly turned from their sinful behavior! [God promised to give Abraham many] descendants. In order to fulfill that promise, God does not need you! I tell you that he can change these stones to make them descendants of Abraham! So do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We [(exc)] are descendants of Abraham, [so God will not punish us, even though we have] sinned!’
८पश्चात्तापास योग्य अशी फळे द्या आणि आपल्या मनात असे म्हणू नका की, ‘अब्राहाम आमच्या पित्यासारखा आहे.’ कारण मी तुम्हास सांगतो की, अब्राहामासाठी या दगडापासून मुले निर्माण करण्यास देव समर्थ आहे.
9 [God is ready to punish you if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior, just like a man] [MET] lays his axe at the roots [of a fruit] tree [to chop it down and throw it into the fire if it does not produce good fruit] [MET].”
९आताच झाडांच्या मुळांशी कुऱ्हाड ठेवलेली आहे. म्हणून प्रत्येक झाड जे चांगले फळ देत नाही ते तोडून अग्नीत टाकले जाईल.”
10 [Then] various ones in the crowd asked John, “What shall we [(exc)] do [to escape God punishing us] (OR), [to show that we have repented]?”
१०नंतर जमावातील लोकांनी त्यास विचारले, “आता आम्ही काय करावे?”
11 He answered them, “If any of you has two shirts, you should give one of them to someone who has no shirt. If any of you has [plenty of] food, you should give some to those who have no food.”
११त्याने उत्तर दिले, “ज्याच्याकडे दोन अंगरखे असतील त्याने ज्याला नाही त्यास एक द्यावा आणि ज्याच्याकडे अन्न आहे त्यानेही तसेच करावे.”
12 [Some] tax collectors came [and asked] to be baptized ([asked him] to baptize them}. They asked him, “Teacher, what shall we [(exc)] do [to please God]?”
१२काही जकातदारही बाप्तिस्मा करून घ्यावयास आले होते. ते म्हणाले, “गुरुजी, आम्ही काय करावे?”
13 He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
१३तो त्यांना म्हणाला, तुम्हास जे नेमून दिले आहे त्यापेक्षा जास्त पैसे घेऊ नका.
14 Some soldiers asked him, “What about us? What should we [(exc)] do [to please God]?” He said to them, “Do not [say to anyone], ‘[If you(sg) do not give me] some money, I will hurt you,’ and do not take [people to court and] falsely accuse them of doing something wrong! And be content with your wages.”
१४काही शिपायांनीसुद्धा त्यास विचारून म्हटले, “आणि आमच्या बद्दल काय, आम्ही काय करावे?” तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “कोणाकडून जबरदस्तीने पैसे घेऊ नका, कोणावरही खोटा आरोप करू नका, तुम्हास मिळणाऱ्या पगारात समाधानी राहा.”
15 People were expecting [that the Messiah would come soon]. Because of that, many of them wondered about John. [Some of them asked him] if he was the Messiah.
१५तेव्हा लोक उत्सुकतेने वाट पाहत असता प्रत्येकजण आपल्या अंतःकरणात हाच ख्रिस्त असेल काय म्हणून विचार करीत असत.
16 John replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do! He will put [his] Holy Spirit within [MTY] you [to truly change your lives], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [MET] [in hell]. (questioned)
१६त्या सर्वांना योहानाने उत्तर दिले, “मी तुमचा बाप्तिस्मा पाण्याने करतो, पण एकजण जो माझ्यापेक्षाही सामर्थ्यशाली आहे तो येत आहे आणि त्याच्या वहाणांचे बंद सोडण्यासही मी पात्र नाही, तो तुमचा बाप्तिस्मा पवित्र आत्म्याने व अग्नीने करील.
17 He [is like a man] [MET] [who wants to] clear away the grain on the ground where it has been threshed {they have threshed it}. That man [uses] a huge fork [to throw the grain into the air] to separate the wheat from the chaff [MET], and then he cleans up the threshing area. [Similarly, God] will [separate righteous people from the evil people, like a man who] gathers the wheat into his storage area, and then he will burn [those who are like] chaff with a fire (that will never be put out/that will burn forever).”
१७त्याचे खळे अगदी स्वच्छ करायला व गहू त्याच्या कोठारात साठवायला त्याचे सूप त्याच्या हातात आहे, पण तो भूस न विझणाऱ्या अग्नीत जाळून टाकील.”
18 John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
१८योहानाने इतर पुष्कळ उत्तेजन देणाऱ्या शब्दांनी त्यांना बोध करून सुवार्ता सांगितली.
19 He also rebuked [the ruler of the district], Herod [Antipas. He rebuked him] for [marrying] Herodias, his brother’s wife, [while his brother was still alive], and for doing many other evil things.
१९योहानाने चौथाईचा शासक हेरोद याची कानउघडणी केली कारण त्याचे त्याच्या भावाच्या पत्नी हेरोदीया हिच्याशी अनैतिक संबंध होते, तसेच इतर अनेक वाईट गोष्टी त्याने केल्या होत्या.
20 But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
२०हे सर्व करून सुद्धा त्याने आणखी एक दुष्कर्म केले ते म्हणजे त्याने योहानाला तुरुंगात टाकले.
21 [But before John was put in prison], when many people were being baptized {when he was baptizing many people}, after Jesus was baptized {he baptized Jesus} and Jesus was praying, the sky opened.
२१तेव्हा असे झाले की, जेव्हा सर्व लोकांचा बाप्तिस्मा योहानाद्वारे केला जात होता, तेव्हा येशूचा ही बाप्तिस्मा होऊन तो प्रार्थना करीत असता आकाश उघडले गेले.
22 Then the Holy Spirit, resembling a dove, descended upon [Jesus]. And [God] [SYN/EUP] spoke to Jesus from heaven, saying, “You [(sg)] are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you!”
२२आणि पवित्र आत्मा देहरूपाने कबुतराप्रमाणे त्याच्यावर उतरला आणि आकाशातून अशी वाणी झाली की, “तू माझा प्रिय पुत्र आहेस, मी तुझ्याविषयी फार संतुष्ट आहे.”
