Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 3
1 Tanīs dienās nāca Jānis, tas Kristītājs, un sludināja Jūdu zemes tuksnesī,
THEN in those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the desert country of Judea,
2 Sacīdams: “Atgriežaties no grēkiem, jo Debesu valstība ir tuvu klāt nākusi,”
and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh.
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 the person spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait.”
4 Bet viņš, Jānis, valkāja kamieļu spalvu drēbes un ādas jostu ap saviem gurniem; un viņa barība bija siseņi un kameņu medus.
Now this John had his garment made of camel’s hair, and a girdle of leather about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Tad izgāja pie viņa Jeruzāleme un visa Jūdu zeme un viss Jardānes apgabals,
Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the regions about Jordan,
6 Un tapa no viņa kristīti Jardānē, izsūdzēdami savus grēkus.
and were baptized by him in Jordan, on making confession of 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 when he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, O ye broods of vipers! who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Tāpēc nesiet pienākamus atgriešanās augļus.
Produce then worthy fruits 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 think not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say unto you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
10 Un cirvis kokiem jau pie saknes ir pielikts; tāpēc ikviens koks, kas nenes labus augļus, top nocirsts un ugunī iemests.
And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which produceth not good fruit, is hewing down, and casting 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 indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
12 Tam vēteklis rokā, un Tas Savu klonu tīrīs caur caurim un sakrās Savus kviešus klētī, bet tās pelavas Viņš sadedzinās ar neizdzēšamu uguni.”
whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will collect the wheat into his granary; but the chaff will he burn up with fire unquenchable.
13 Tanī laikā Jēzus nāca no Galilejas uz Jardāni pie Jāņa, ka no tā taptu kristīts.
Then came Jesus from Galilee unto Jordan to John, that he might be baptized by him.
14 Bet Jānis Tam neļāva un sacīja: “Man vajadzētu no Tevis tapt kristītam, un Tu nāci pie manis?”
But John earnestly withheld him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou 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 Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfil 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 Jesus, after his baptism, came straight from the water: and lo! the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as it were a dove, and coming upon him:
17 Un redzi, balss no debesīm sacīja: “Šis ir Mans mīļais Dēls, pie kā Man ir labs prāts.”
and lo! a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom is my delight.
