Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 3
1 Tanīs dienās nāca Jānis, tas Kristītājs, un sludināja Jūdu zemes tuksnesī,
In those days, John the Baptiser came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
2 Sacīdams: “Atgriežaties no grēkiem, jo Debesu valstība ir tuvu klāt nākusi,”
“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
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 spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! 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 himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Tad izgāja pie viņa Jeruzāleme un visa Jūdu zeme un viss Jardānes apgabals,
Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
6 Un tapa no viņa kristīti Jardānē, izsūdzēdami savus grēkus.
They were baptised 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 when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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.
Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell 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.
Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast 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 baptise you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptise you in the 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 fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up 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 the Jordan to John, to be baptised by him.
14 Bet Jānis Tam neļāva un sacīja: “Man vajadzētu no Tevis tapt kristītam, un Tu nāci pie manis?”
But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptised by you, and you come 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 to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfil all righteousness.” Then he allowed 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.
Jesus, when he was baptised, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
17 Un redzi, balss no debesīm sacīja: “Šis ir Mans mīļais Dēls, pie kā Man ir labs prāts.”
Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
