Matthew 3
1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea saying,
V tisti dnéh pa pride Janez Krstnik, ter je v puščavi Judejskej oznanjeval,
2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
In govoril: Spokorite se; kajti približalo se je nebeško kraljestvo.
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.'”
Kajti ta je, za kogar je povedal prerok Izaija, govoreč: "Glas vpijočega v puščavi: Pripravite pot Gospodu; poravnajte steze njegove."
4 Now John wore clothing of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
On pa, Janez, imel je obleko svojo iz kamelje dlake, in pas usnjat okoli ledja svojega; a živež njegov je bil: kobilice in med divji.
5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan River went out to him.
Tedaj je izhajal k njemu ves Jeruzalem in vsa Judeja in vsa okolica Jordanska.
6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.
In on jih je krščeval v Jordanu, in izpovedovali so grehe svoje.
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?
Ko pa vidi mnogo Farizejev in Saducejev, da gredó h krstu njegovemu, reče jim: Gadja zalega! kdo vam je pokazal, kako ubežite prihodnjej jezi?
8 Bear fruit worthy of repentance.
Rodite torej vreden sad pokore.
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.
In ne domišljujte si, da bi govorili v sebi: Abrahama imamo za očeta; kajti pravim vam, da more Bog iz tega kamenja obuditi Abrahamu sinove.
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.
Uže pa stojí tudi sekira drevju pri korenini: vsako drevo torej, ktero ne rodí dobrega sadú, posekalo se bo in vrglo na ogenj.
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.
Jaz vas krščujem z vodo za pokoro; a ta, ki gre za menoj, močneji je od mene, kteremu nisem vreden obutala ponesti. On vas bo krstil z Duhom svetim in ognjem.
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.”
Njemu je lopata v roki njegovej, in očedil bo gumno svoje, in pospravil bo pšenico svojo v žitnico, a plevo bo spalil z neugasljivim ognjem.
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John.
Tedaj pride Jezus iz Galileje k Janezu na Jordan, da ga on krsti.
14 But John kept trying to stop him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
Janez mu je pa branil, govoreč: Meni je treba, da me ti krstiš, pa hodiš ti k meni?
15 Jesus responded and said to him, “Permit it now, for it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John permitted him.
Jezus pa odgovorí in mu reče: Pusti sedaj! kajti tako nam je treba izpolniti vsako pravico. Tedaj ga pustí.
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.
In krstivši se Jezus, stopi precej iz vode; in glej, nebesa mu se odpró, in Duha Božjega vidi, da shaja ko golob, in pride na-nj.
17 Behold, a voice came out of the heavens saying, “This is my beloved Son. I am very pleased with him.”
In glej, glas z nebes, govoreč: Ta je sin moj ljubljeni, kteri je po mojej volji.
