Adhyāya 3
un dinon men yoohanna bapaatisma denevala akar yahoodiya ke jangal men yah prachar karane laga. ki
2 man firao kyonki svarga ka rajy nikatt a gaya haai.
3 yah vahee haai jis kee charcha yashaayah bhvishyadvkta ke dara kee gai ki jangal men aek pukaranevale ka shabd ho raha haai, ki prabhu ka marga taaiyar karo, us kee sadken seedhaee karo.
4 yah yoohanna untt ke rom ka vasr paahine tha, aur apanee kamar men chamade ka pattuka bandho huae tha, aur usaka bhojan ttiiddayan aur banamadha tha.
5 tab yarooshalem ke aur sare yahoodiya ke, aur yaradan ke as pas ke sare desh ke log usake pas nikal aae.
6 aur apane apane papon ko manakar yaradan nadee men us se bapatisma liya.
7 jab us ne bahutere fareeasiyon aur sadookiyon ko bapatisma ke liye apane pas ate dekha, to un se kaha, ki he sanp ke bachchon tumhen kis ne jata diya, ki anevale krodha se bhago?
8 so man firav ke yogy fal lao.
9 aur apane apane man men yah n socho, ki hamara pita ibraaheem haai kyonaki maain tum se kahata hoo, ki parameshvar in patthron se ibraaheem ke liye santan utpann kar sakata haai.
10 aur ab kulhada pedon kee jad par rakha hua haai, isaliye jo jo ped achchha fal naheen lata, vah katta aur ag men jhonka jata haai.
11 maain to panee se tumhen man firav ka bapatisma deta hoo, parantu jo mere bad anevala haai, vah mujh se shaktaishaalee haai maain us kee jootee uttane ke yogy nahee, vah tumhen pavitra atma aur ag se bapatisma dega.
12 usaka soop us ke hath men haai, aur vah apana khalihan achchhee reeati se safa karega, aur apane gehoon ko to khtte men ikattha karega, parantu boosee ko us ag men jalaega jo bujhne kee naheen..
13 us samay yeeshu maseeh galeel se yaradan ke kinare par yoohanna ke pas us se bapaatisma lene aya.
14 parantu yoohanna yah kahakar use rokane laga, ki mujhe tere hath se bapaatisma lene kee avashyakta haai, aur too mere pas aya haai?
15 yeeshu ne us ko yah uttr diya, ki ab to aeesa hee hone de, kyonki hamen isee reeti se sab dhaaarmikata ko poora karana uchit haai, tab us ne us kee bat man lee.
16 aur yeeshu bapaatisma lekar turant panee men se upar aya, aur dekho, usake liye akash khul gaya aur us ne parameshvar ke atma ko kabootar kee nai utarate aur apane upar ate dekha.
17 aur dekho, yah akashavanee hui, ki yah mera piry putra haai, jis se maain atyant prasann hoon..
