Matthew 3
1 Etu somoite Baptizma diya John ahise aru Isor laga kotha prochar kori kene Judea laga sunsan jagate ahise,
And in those days came John the Baptizer. And he proclaimed in the desert of Judaea,
2 aru eneka koise, “Mon ghura bhi, kele koile sorgo laga rajyo to usorte ahi jaise.”
and said: Repent; the kingdom of heaven hath approached.
3 Kilekoile bhabobadi Isaiah pora tai laga he kotha koi diya eneka likha ase, “Ekjon kunba sunsan jaga pora hala kori ase, ‘Isor laga rasta taiyar koribi, Tai laga rasta sidha koribi.”
For this is he of whom it was said, by Isaiah the prophet: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make smooth his paths.
4 Etiya, John to uth janwar laga chuli pora bona kapra lagai aru komor te chamra laga peti pora bandhe. Aru tai pango aru jongol laga mou pani he khai.
And as to this John, his raiment was of camel's hair, and a girdle of skin was upon his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Titia Jerusalem sheher, aru pura Judea desh, aru Jordan Nodi laga sob jaga pora manu khan taike lok kori bole ahe.
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country about the Jordan.
6 Taikhan laga paap shikar kora pichete, John pora Jordan Nodi te taikhan ke baptizma di thakise.
And they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, while they confessed their sins.
7 Kintu tai logot bisi Pharisee aru Sadducee khan baptizma lobole ahi thaka dikhise, aru tai taikhan ke koise, “Tumikhan saph laga bacha khan, kun koise tumikhan Isor laga khong pora polabo karone?
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, who came to be baptized, he said to them: Generation of vipers, who hath taught you to flee from the wrath that cometh?
8 Etu nimite, mon ghura laga bijon apnikhan laga kaam pora dikhai dibi.
Bring forth the fruits therefore, that accord with repentance.
9 Apnikhan laga monte ‘Amikhan laga purbojo Abraham ase’ eneka nabhabi bhi. Moi tumikhan ke koi ase Isor to etu pathor khan loi kene Abraham laga khandan bonabo pare.
And do not think, and say within yourselves, that Abraham is our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these tones to raise up children to Abraham.
10 Kintu sob ghas khan kati bole kuthar to age pora taiyar hoi kene ase. Juntu ghas bhal phol nadhure etu ghas ke katikena jui te phelai dibo.
And lo, the ax is put to the root of trees. Every tree, therefore, which beareth not good fruit, is felled, and falleth into the fire.
11 Moi to tumikhan ke pani pora he baptizma dibo. Kintu Jun ami laga pichete ahi ase, Tai to ami pora bisi hokti thaka ase, Tai laga chapal moi dhori bole layak nai. Tai tumikhan ke Pobitro Atma aru jui pora baptizma dibo.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but he that cometh after me is more powerful than I; whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
12 Tai dhaan kati bole dao loi kene ahi ase, sob dhaan ke dhaan ghor te joma kori kene ghas khan ke kitia bhi khotom nohobole jui te phelai dibo.”
His winnowing shovel is in his hand; and he will make clean his threshing-floor. The wheat he will gather into his storehouse; and the chaff he will burn with fire not extinguished.
13 Etu pichete Jisu Galilee jaga pora ulaikena baptizma lobole Jordan Nodi te John logot ahise.
Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him.
14 Hoilebi John to Jisu ke rukhabole bisi kosis korise, aru eneka koise, “Ami he Apuni laga hath pora baptizma lobo lage, hoilebi Apuni he moi logote ahise?”
But John refused him; and said, I need to be baptized by thee, and hast thou come to me?
15 Kintu Jisu taike eneka koise, “Etiya karone to eneka koridi bhi, kele koile Amikhan bhi dharmikta kaam sob pura korile he thik ase.” Etu pichete John pora kotha mani loise.
And Jesus answered, and said to him: Allow it now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he permitted him.
16 Jitia Jisu baptizma loi kene pani pora ulaise, sorgo pora ekta pohor ahise aru Isor laga Atma kopu chiriya nisena hoi kene Tai uporte rukhi jaise.
And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water. And heaven was opened to him; and he saw the Holy Spirit descending like a dove, and it came upon him.
17 Etu pichete, sabi, ekta awaj sorgo pora koise, “Etu Ami laga bisi morom thaka Putro ase. Ami Tai uporte bisi khushi ase.”
And lo, a voice from heaven, which said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.
