Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,

2 during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert.

3 John went into all the district about the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for the forgiveness of sins;
sa yarddana ubhayataTapradEzAn samEtya pApamOcanArthaM manaHparAvarttanasya cihnarUpaM yanmajjanaM tadIyAH kathAH sarvvatra pracArayitumArEbhE|
4 as it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying aloud! 'In the Desert prepare ye a road for the Lord: make His highway straight.

5 Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill levelled down, the crooked places shall be turned into straight roads, and the rugged ways into smooth;

6 and then shall all mankind see God's salvation.'"

7 Accordingly John used to say to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, "O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
yE yE lOkA majjanArthaM bahirAyayustAn sOvadat rE rE sarpavaMzA AgAminaH kOpAt palAyituM yuSmAn kazcEtayAmAsa?
8 Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.

9 And even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which fails to yield good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire."

10 The crowds repeatedly asked him, "What then are we to do?"
tadAnIM lOkAstaM papracchustarhi kiM karttavyamasmAbhiH?
11 "Let the man who has two coats," he answered, "give one to the man who has none; and let the man who has food share it with others."
tataH sOvAdIt yasya dvE vasanE vidyEtE sa vastrahInAyaikaM vitaratu kiMnjca yasya khAdyadravyaM vidyatE sOpi tathaiva karOtu|
12 There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, "Rabbi, what are we to do?"
tataH paraM karasanjcAyinO majjanArtham Agatya papracchuH hE gurO kiM karttavyamasmAbhiH?
13 "Do not exact more than the legal amount," he replied.
tataH sOkathayat nirUpitAdadhikaM na gRhlita|
14 The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, "And we, what are we to do?" His answer was, "Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay."

15 And while the people were in suspense and all were debating in their minds whether John might possibly be the Anointed One,
aparanjca lOkA apEkSayA sthitvA sarvvEpIti manObhi rvitarkayAnjcakruH, yOhanayam abhiSiktastrAtA na vEti?
16 he answered the question by saying to them all, "As for me, I am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose very sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten: He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17 His winnowing-shovel is in His hand to clear out His threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into His storehouse; but the chaff He will burn up in fire unquenchable."

18 With many exhortations besides these he declared the Good News to the people.

19 But Herod the Tetrarch, being repeatedly rebuked by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all the wicked deeds that he had done,
aparanjca hErOd rAjA philipnAmnaH sahOdarasya bhAryyAM hErOdiyAmadhi tathAnyAni yAni yAni kukarmmANi kRtavAn tadadhi ca
20 now added this to crown all the rest, that he threw John into prison.
yOhanA tiraskRtO bhUtvA kArAgArE tasya bandhanAd aparamapi kukarmma cakAra|
21 Now when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the sky opened,
itaH pUrvvaM yasmin samayE sarvvE yOhanA majjitAstadAnIM yIzurapyAgatya majjitaH|
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in bodily shape, like a dove, upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, "Thou art My Son, dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
