Luke 3
1 NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene:
anantaraM tibiriyakaisarasya rAjatvasya panjcadazE vatsarE sati yadA pantIyapIlAtO yihUdAdEzAdhipati rhErOd tu gAlIlpradEzasya rAjA philipanAmA tasya bhrAtA tu yitUriyAyAstrAkhOnItiyApradEzasya ca rAjAsIt luSAnIyanAmA avilInIdEzasya rAjAsIt
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness;
hAnan kiyaphAzcEmau pradhAnayAjAkAvAstAM tadAnIM sikhariyasya putrAya yOhanE madhyEprAntaram Izvarasya vAkyE prakAzitE sati
3 and he came into all the country on the confines of Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
sa yarddana ubhayataTapradEzAn samEtya pApamOcanArthaM manaHparAvarttanasya cihnarUpaM yanmajjanaM tadIyAH kathAH sarvvatra pracArayitumArEbhE|
4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths strait:
yizayiyabhaviSyadvaktRgranthE yAdRzI lipirAstE yathA, paramEzasya panthAnaM pariSkuruta sarvvataH| tasya rAjapathanjcaiva samAnaM kurutAdhunA|
5 every valley shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be levelled, and the crooked ways made strait, and the rough roads smooth:
kAriSyantE samucchrAyAH sakalA nimnabhUmayaH| kAriSyantE natAH sarvvE parvvatAzcOpaparvvatAH| kAriSyantE ca yA vakrAstAH sarvvAH saralA bhuvaH| kAriSyantE samAnAstA yA uccanIcabhUmayaH|
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”

7 He said, therefore, to the multitudes who came out to be baptised by him, Ye broods of vipers, who hath warned you to fly from the approaching wrath?
yE yE lOkA majjanArthaM bahirAyayustAn sOvadat rE rE sarpavaMzA AgAminaH kOpAt palAyituM yuSmAn kazcEtayAmAsa?
8 Produce then fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say in yourselves, We have a father, even Abraham; for I say unto you, That God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
tasmAd ibrAhIm asmAkaM pitA kathAmIdRzIM manObhi rna kathayitvA yUyaM manaHparivarttanayOgyaM phalaM phalata; yuSmAnahaM yathArthaM vadAmi pASANEbhya EtEbhya Izvara ibrAhImaH santAnOtpAdanE samarthaH|
9 But now is the ax laid even to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that produceth not good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
aparanjca tarumUlE'dhunApi parazuH saMlagnOsti yastaruruttamaM phalaM na phalati sa chidyatE'gnau nikSipyatE ca|
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then shall we do?
tadAnIM lOkAstaM papracchustarhi kiM karttavyamasmAbhiH?
11 And he answering said to them, He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do in like manner.
tataH sOvAdIt yasya dvE vasanE vidyEtE sa vastrahInAyaikaM vitaratu kiMnjca yasya khAdyadravyaM vidyatE sOpi tathaiva karOtu|
12 Then came also the farmers of the taxes to be baptised, and they said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
tataH paraM karasanjcAyinO majjanArtham Agatya papracchuH hE gurO kiM karttavyamasmAbhiH?
13 He said unto them, Exact nothing more than is appointed for you.
tataH sOkathayat nirUpitAdadhikaM na gRhlita|
14 And the military men also asked him, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Extort nothing by force; nor turn informers; and be content with your pay.

15 Now when the people were in expectation, and many reasoned in their hearts respecting John, whether he were the Messiah,
aparanjca lOkA apEkSayA sthitvA sarvvEpIti manObhi rvitarkayAnjcakruH, yOhanayam abhiSiktastrAtA na vEti?
16 John addressed himself to them all, saying, I indeed baptise you with water; but one mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie: he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire;
tadA yOhan sarvvAn vyAjahAra, jalE'haM yuSmAn majjayAmi satyaM kintu yasya pAdukAbandhanaM mOcayitumapi na yOgyOsmi tAdRza EkO mattO gurutaraH pumAn Eti, sa yuSmAn vahnirUpE pavitra Atmani majjayiSyati|
17 whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and collect the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

18 Thus in many and various discourses exhorting them, he preached the glad tidings of the gospel to the people.
yOhan upadEzEnEtthaM nAnAkathA lOkAnAM samakSaM pracArayAmAsa|
19 Now Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him, on account of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the other wicked actions which he had done,
aparanjca hErOd rAjA philipnAmnaH sahOdarasya bhAryyAM hErOdiyAmadhi tathAnyAni yAni yAni kukarmmANi kRtavAn tadadhi ca
20 added this also to all the rest, and shut up John in prison.
yOhanA tiraskRtO bhUtvA kArAgArE tasya bandhanAd aparamapi kukarmma cakAra|
21 Now it came to pass, at the time when John was baptising all the people, that Jesus also was baptised, and as he prayed, the heaven was opened,
itaH pUrvvaM yasmin samayE sarvvE yOhanA majjitAstadAnIM yIzurapyAgatya majjitaH|
22 and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, like a dove, upon him, and a voice came from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

23 And Jesus himself was about thirty years of age when he began his ministry, being (as was supposed the son of Joseph) of Heli,
