Matthew 3
1 In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
Tanīs dienās nāca Jānis, tas Kristītājs, un sludināja Jūdu zemes tuksnesī,
2 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
Sacīdams: “Atgriežaties no grēkiem, jo Debesu valstība ir tuvu klāt nākusi,”
3 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!”
Jo šis ir tas, no kā pravietis Jesaja runājis sacīdams: “Saucēja balss tuksnesī: “Sataisiet Tā Kunga ceļu; dariet līdzenas Viņa tekas.””
4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
Bet viņš, Jānis, valkāja kamieļu spalvu drēbes un ādas jostu ap saviem gurniem; un viņa barība bija siseņi un kameņu medus.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
Tad izgāja pie viņa Jeruzāleme un visa Jūdu zeme un viss Jardānes apgabals,
6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
Un tapa no viņa kristīti Jardānē, izsūdzēdami savus grēkus.
7 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?
Un daudz farizeju un saduceju ieraudzījis nākam pie kristības, viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Jūs odžu dzimums, kas jums ir rādījis, izbēgt no nākamās dusmības?
8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
Tāpēc nesiet pienākamus atgriešanās augļus.
9 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.
Un nedomājiet pie sevis sacīt: “Mums ir Ābrahāms par tēvu.” Jo Es jums saku, ka Dievs no šiem akmeņiem spēj Ābrahāmam bērnus radīt.
10 Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
Un cirvis kokiem jau pie saknes ir pielikts; tāpēc ikviens koks, kas nenes labus augļus, top nocirsts un ugunī iemests.
11 “I indeed baptize 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 baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
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;
12 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.”
Tam vēteklis rokā, un Tas Savu klonu tīrīs caur caurim un sakrās Savus kviešus klētī, bet tās pelavas Viņš sadedzinās ar neizdzēšamu uguni.”
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Tanī laikā Jēzus nāca no Galilejas uz Jardāni pie Jāņa, ka no tā taptu kristīts.
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”
Bet Jānis Tam neļāva un sacīja: “Man vajadzētu no Tevis tapt kristītam, un Tu nāci pie manis?”
15 But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.
Bet Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Lai nu tā ir; jo tā mums pieklājās, piepildīt visu taisnību.” Tad viņš to Tam ļāva.
16 Jesus, when he was baptized, 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.
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.
17 Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Un redzi, balss no debesīm sacīja: “Šis ir Mans mīļais Dēls, pie kā Man ir labs prāts.”
