Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 3
1 Tanīs dienās nāca Jānis, tas Kristītājs, un sludināja Jūdu zemes tuksnesī,
Now in those days John the Baptizer began preaching in the wilderness of Judea
2 Sacīdams: “Atgriežaties no grēkiem, jo Debesu valstība ir tuvu klāt nākusi,”
and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near!”
3 Jo šis ir tas, no kā pravietis Jesaja runājis sacīdams: “Saucēja balss tuksnesī: “Sataisiet Tā Kunga ceļu; dariet līdzenas Viņa tekas.””
For this is he who was referred to by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “A voice crying-out, ‘Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.’”
4 Bet viņš, Jānis, valkāja kamieļu spalvu drēbes un ādas jostu ap saviem gurniem; un viņa barība bija siseņi un kameņu medus.
Now John actually used clothes made from camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist; while his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Tad izgāja pie viņa Jeruzāleme un visa Jūdu zeme un viss Jardānes apgabals,
Then Jerusalem, all Judea and all the region of the Jordan went out to him,
6 Un tapa no viņa kristīti Jardānē, izsūdzēdami savus grēkus.
and were being baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 Un daudz farizeju un saduceju ieraudzījis nākam pie kristības, viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Jūs odžu dzimums, kas jums ir rādījis, izbēgt no nākamās dusmības?
But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: “Brood of vipers! Who tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Tāpēc nesiet pienākamus atgriešanās augļus.
Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance,
9 Un nedomājiet pie sevis sacīt: “Mums ir Ābrahāms par tēvu.” Jo Es jums saku, ka Dievs no šiem akmeņiem spēj Ābrahāmam bērnus radīt.
and don't even think to say within yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father,’ for I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
10 Un cirvis kokiem jau pie saknes ir pielikts; tāpēc ikviens koks, kas nenes labus augļus, top nocirsts un ugunī iemests.
Indeed, already the ax is being laid to the root of the trees. So every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 Es jūs gan kristīju ar ūdeni uz atgriešanos no grēkiem, bet kas pēc manis nāk, Tas ir jo spēcīgāks nekā es; Tam es neesmu cienīgs kurpes nest; Tas jūs kristīs ar Svēto Garu un ar uguni;
“I baptize you with water unto repentance, but the One coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.
12 Tam vēteklis rokā, un Tas Savu klonu tīrīs caur caurim un sakrās Savus kviešus klētī, bet tās pelavas Viņš sadedzinās ar neizdzēšamu uguni.”
His winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
13 Tanī laikā Jēzus nāca no Galilejas uz Jardāni pie Jāņa, ka no tā taptu kristīts.
Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
14 Bet Jānis Tam neļāva un sacīja: “Man vajadzētu no Tevis tapt kristītam, un Tu nāci pie manis?”
But John tried to dissuade Him saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and You are coming to me?”
15 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Lai nu tā ir; jo tā mums pieklājās, piepildīt visu taisnību.” Tad viņš to Tam ļāva.
But in answer Jesus said to him, “Permit it now, because thus it is appropriate to us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted Him.
16 Un kad Jēzus bija kristīts, tad Viņš tūdaļ no ūdens izkāpa. Un redzi, debesis atvērās pār Viņu, un Jānis redzēja Dieva Garu kā balodi nolaižamies un uz Viņu nākam.
And having been baptized Jesus came up directly from the water, when wow, the heavens were opened to Him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 Un redzi, balss no debesīm sacīja: “Šis ir Mans mīļais Dēls, pie kā Man ir labs prāts.”
And wow, a Voice from the heavens saying, “This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I am always well pleased!”
