< Matthew 3 >

1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea saying,
تَدانوں یوہْنّاما مَجَّیِتا یِہُودِییَدیشَسْیَ پْرانْتَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ پْرَچارَیَنْ کَتھَیاماسَ،
2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
مَناںسِ پَراوَرْتَّیَتَ، سْوَرْگِییَراجَتْوَں سَمِیپَماگَتَمْ۔
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.'”
پَرَمیشَسْیَ پَنْتھانَں پَرِشْکُرُتَ سَرْوَّتَح۔ تَسْیَ راجَپَتھاںشْچَیوَ سَمِیکُرُتَ سَرْوَّتھا۔ اِتْییتَتْ پْرانْتَرے واکْیَں وَدَتَح کَسْیَچِدْ رَوَح۔۔
4 Now John wore clothing of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. 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 Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan River went out to him.
تَدانِیں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَنِواسِنَح سَرْوّے یِہُودِدیشِییا یَرْدَّنْتَٹِنْیا اُبھَیَتَٹَسْتھاشْچَ مانَوا بَہِراگَتْیَ تَسْیَ سَمِیپی
6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.
سْوِییَں سْوِییَں دُرِتَمْ اَنْگِیکرِتْیَ تَسْیاں یَرْدَّنِ تینَ مَجِّتا بَبھُووُح۔
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him for baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath that is coming?
اَپَرَں بَہُونْ پھِرُوشِنَح سِدُوکِنَشْچَ مَنُجانْ مَںکْتُں سْوَسَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھتو وِلوکْیَ سَ تانْ اَبھِدَدھَو، رے رے بھُجَگَوَںشا آگامِینَح کوپاتْ پَلایِتُں یُشْمانْ کَشْچیتِتَوانْ؟
8 Bear fruit worthy of repentance.
مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَسْیَ سَمُچِتَں پھَلَں پھَلَتَ۔
9 Do not think of saying among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham even out of these stones.
کِنْتْوَسْماکَں تاتَ اِبْراہِیمْ اَسْتِیتِ سْویشُ مَنَحسُ چِینْتَیَنْتو ما وْیاہَرَتَ۔ یَتو یُشْمانْ اَہَں وَدامِ، اِیشْوَرَ ایتیبھْیَح پاشانیبھْیَ اِبْراہِیمَح سَنْتانانْ اُتْپادَیِتُں شَکْنوتِ۔
10 Already the ax has been placed against the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.
اَپَرَں پادَپاناں مُولے کُٹھارَ اِدانِیمَپِ لَگَنْ آسْتے، تَسْمادْ یَسْمِنْ پادَپے اُتَّمَں پھَلَں نَ بھَوَتِ، سَ کرِتّو مَدھْیےگْنِں نِکْشیپْسْیَتے۔
11 I baptize you with water for repentance. But he who comes after me is mightier than I, and I am not worthy even to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with 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 fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather his wheat into the storehouse. But he will burn up the chaff with fire that can never be put out.”
تَسْیَ کارے سُورْپَ آسْتے، سَ سْوِییَشَسْیانِ سَمْیَکْ پْرَسْپھوٹْیَ نِجانْ سَکَلَگودھُومانْ سَںگرِہْیَ بھانْڈاگارے سْتھاپَیِشْیَتِ، کِںنْتُ سَرْوّانِ وُشانْیَنِرْوّانَوَہْنِنا داہَیِشْیَتِ۔
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John.
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُ رْیوہَنا مَجِّتو بھَوِتُں گالِیلْپْرَدیشادْ یَرْدَّنِ تَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ آجَگامَ۔
14 But John kept trying to stop him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
کِنْتُ یوہَنْ تَں نِشِدھْیَ بَبھاشے، تْوَں کِں مَمَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَچّھَسِ؟ وَرَں تْوَیا مَجَّنَں مَمَ پْرَیوجَنَمْ آسْتے۔
15 Jesus responded and said to him, “Permit it now, for it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John permitted him.
تَدانِیں یِیشُح پْرَتْیَووچَتْ؛ اِیدانِیمْ اَنُمَنْیَسْوَ، یَتَ اِتّھَں سَرْوَّدھَرْمَّسادھَنَمْ اَسْماکَں کَرْتَّوْیَں، تَتَح سونْوَمَنْیَتَ۔
16 After he was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and resting upon him.
اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُرَمَّسِ مَجِّتُح سَنْ تَتْکْشَناتْ تویَمَدھْیادْ اُتّھایَ جَگامَ، تَدا جِیمُوتَدْوارے مُکْتے جاتے، سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیاتْمانَں کَپوتَوَدْ اَوَرُہْیَ سْووپَرْیّاگَچّھَنْتَں وِیکْشانْچَکْرے۔
17 Behold, a voice came out of the heavens saying, “This is my beloved Son. I am very pleased with him.”
اَپَرَمْ ایشَ مَمَ پْرِیَح پُتْرَ ایتَسْمِنّیوَ مَمَ مَہاسَنْتوشَ ایتادرِشِی وْیومَجا واگْ بَبھُووَ۔
