Joan 1
1 HATSEAN cen Hitza, eta Hitza cen Iaincoa baithan, eta Iainco cen Hitza.
In the beginning the Word was; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God.
2 Hitz haur cen hatsean Iaincoa baithan.
He was in the beginning with God;
3 Gauça guciac Hitz harçaz eguin içan dirade: eta hura gabe deus ezta eguin, eguin denic.
through him all things came into being, and nothing came into being apart from him.
4 Hartan cen vicitzea, eta vicitzea cen guiçonén Arguia:
That which came into being in him was life; and the life was the light of humanity;
5 Eta Argui hunec ilhumbean arguitzen du: eta ilhumbeac hura eztu comprehenditu.
and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness never overpowered it.
6 Içan da guiçon-bat Iaincoaz igorria, Ioannes deitzen cenic.
There appeared a man sent from God, whose name was John;
7 Haur ethor cedin testimoniage ekartera Arguiaz testifica leçançat, guciéc harçaz sinhets leçatençat.
he came as a witness – to bear witness to the light so that through him everyone might believe.
8 Etzén hura Arguia, baina igorri cen Arguiaz testifica leçançát.
He was not the light, but he came to bear witness to the light.
9 Haur cen Argui eguiazcoa, mundura ethorten den guiçon gucia arguitzen duena.
That was the true light which enlightens everyone coming into the world.
10 Munduan cen, eta mundua harçaz eguin içan da, eta munduac eztu hura eçagutu.
He was in the world; and through him the world came into being – yet the world did not know him.
11 Beretara ethorri içan da, eta beréc eztute hura, recebitu.
He came to his own – yet his own did not receive him.
12 Baina hura recebitu duten guciey, eman draue priuilegio Iaincoaren haour içateco, haren icenean sinhesten duteney:
But to all who did receive him he gave power to become children of God – to those who believe in his name.
13 Cein ezpaitirade iayo odoletaric, ez haraguiaren vorondatetic, ez guiçonaren vorondatetic: baina Iaincoaganic.
For not to natural conception, nor to human instincts, nor to human will did they owe the new life, but to God.
14 Eta Hitza haragui eguin içan da, eta habitatu içan da gure artean, (eta contemplatu vkan dugu haren gloriá, gloriá diot Aitaganic engendratu bakoitzarena beçala) gratiaz eta eguiaz bethea
And the Word became human, and lived among us, (We saw his glory – the glory of the Only Son sent from the Father), full of love and truth.
15 Ioannesec testificatu vkan du harçaz, eta oihu eguin, cioela, Haur da ceinez erraiten-bainuen, Ene ondoan ethorten dena, ni baino aitzinecoago da: ecen ni baino lehen cen.
(John bears witness to him; he cried aloud – for it was he who spoke – ‘He who is coming after me is now before me, for he was ever first’);
16 Eta haren abundantiatic guciéc recebitu v kan dugu, eta gratia gratiagatic.
out of his fullness we have all received gift after gift of love;
17 Ecen Leguea Moysesez eman içan da, baina gratiá eta eguiá Iesus Christez eguin içan da.
for the Law was given through Moses, love and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Iaincoa nehorc eztu ikussi egundano, Aitaren bulharrean den seme bakoitzac berac declaratu draucu.
No one has ever yet seen God; God the only Son, who is ever with the Father – he has revealed him.
19 Eta haur da Ioannesen testimoniage, Iuduéc Ierusalemetic Sacrificadoreac eta Leuitác igorri cituztenecoa, hura interroga leçatençat, Hi nor aiz?
When the religious authorities in Jerusalem sent some Priests and Levites to ask John – ‘Who are you?’,
20 Eta aithor ceçan, eta etzeçan vka: eta aithor ceçan, cioela, Eznaiz ni Christ.
he told them clearly and simply, ‘I am not the Christ.’
21 Orduan interroga ceçaten, Cer beraz? Elias aiz hi? Eta erran ceçan, Eznaiz. Propheta aiz hi? Eta ihardets ceçan, Ez.
‘What then?’ they asked. ‘Are you Elijah?’ ‘No,’ he said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you “the prophet”?’ He answered, ‘No.’
22 Erran cieçoten bada, Nor aiz? respostu deyegunçát igorri gaituzteney: cer dioc eurorrez?
‘Who then are you?’ they continued. ‘Tell us so that we have an answer to give to those who have sent us. What do you say about yourself?’
23 Dio, Ni naiz desertuan oihuz dagoenaren voza, Plana eçaçue Iaunaren bidea, Esaias Prophetác erran çuen beçala.
‘I,’ he answered, ‘am – “The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: make a straight road for the Lord”, as the prophet Isaiah said.’
24 Eta igorri içan ciradenac Phariseu ciraden.
These men had been sent from the Pharisees;
25 Eta interroga ceçaten hura, eta erran cieçoten. Cergatic beraz batheyatzen ari aiz, baldin hi Christ ezpahaiz, ez Elias, ez Propheta?
and their next question was, ‘Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ or Elijah or “the prophet”?’
26 Ihardets ciecén Ioannesec, cioela, Ni batheyatzen ari naiz vrez, baina çuen artean da bat çuec ecagutzen eztuçuenic:
John’s answer was – ‘I baptize with water, but among you stands one whom you do not know;
27 Hura da ene ondoan ethorten dena, cein ni baino aitzinecoago baita, ceinen çapataco hedearen lachatzeco ezpainaiz ni digne.
he is coming after me, yet I am not worthy even to unfasten his sandal.’
28 Gauça hauc Bethabaran eguin içan ciraden Iordanaz berce aldean, non Ioannes batheyatzen ari baitzén.
This happened at Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Biharamunean ikusten du Ioannesec Iesus harengana ethorten dela, eta dio, Huná Iaincoaren Bildotsa munduaren bekatuac kencen dituena.
The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and exclaimed, ‘Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Haur da ceinez erraiten bainuen, Ene ondoan ethorten da guiçon-bat, cein ni baino aitzinecoago baita, ecen ni baino lehen cen.
I was talking about him when I said “After me there is coming a man who ranks ahead of me, because before I was born he already was.”
31 Eta nic eznuen hura eçagutzen: baina Israeli manifesta daquionçát, halacotz ethorri naiz ni vrez batheyatzera.
I did not know who he was, but I have come baptizing with water to make him known to Israel.’
32 Orduan bada testifica ceçan Ioannesec, cioela, Ikussi dut Spiritua iausten dela vsso columba baten guissán cerutic eta egon -ere bacedin haren gainean.
John also said: ‘I saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and rest on him.
33 Eta nic eznuen eçagutzen hura: baina vrez batheyatzera igorri nauenac, erran cerautan, Noren gainera ikussiren baituc Spiritua iausten, eta egoiten haren gainean, hura duc Spiritu sainduaz batheyatzen duena.
I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me “He on whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him – he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.”
34 Eta nic dut ikussi, eta dut testificatu ecen haur dela Iaincoaren Semea.
This I have seen myself, and I have declared my belief that he is the Son of God.’
35 Biharamunean berriz bacegoen Ioannes, eta harenic bi discipulu:
The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Eta ikussiric Iesus ebilten, erran ceçan, Hará Iaincoaren Bildotsa.
he looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed, ‘There is the Lamb of God!’
37 Eta ençun ceçaten hura bi discipuluéc minçatzen, eta iarreiqui içan çaizcan Iesusi.
The two disciples heard him say this, and followed Jesus.
38 Eta itzuliric Iesusec, eta ikussiric hec çarreitzala, dioste hæy, Ceren bilha çabiltzate? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Rabbi (erran nahi baita hambat nola Magistrua) non egoiten aiz?
But Jesus turned round, and saw them following. ‘What are you looking for?’ he asked. ‘Rabbi,’ they answered (or, as we should say, “Teacher”), ‘where are you staying?’
39 Dioste, Çatozte eta ikussaçue. Ethor citecen eta ikus ceçaten non egoiten cen: eta hura baithan egon citecen egun hartan: ecen hamar orenén inguruä cen.
‘Come, and you will see,’ he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.
40 Cen Andriu Simon Pierrisen anayea, Ioannes minçatzen ençun çuten bietaric eta hari iarreiqui çaizconetaric bata.
One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Hunec eriden ceçan lehenic Simon bere anayea, eta erran cieçón, Eriden diagu Messias, (erran nahi baita hambat nola Christ.)
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah!’ (a word which means “Christ,” or “Consecrated”.)
42 Eta eraman ceçan hura Iesusgana. Eta Iesusec harenganat behaturic erran ceçan, Hi aiz Simon Ionaren semea: hi deithuren aiz Cephas (hambat erran nahi baita nola harria)
Then he brought him to Jesus. Looking straight at him, Jesus said, ‘You are Simon, the son of John; you will be called Cephas’ (which means “Peter,” or “Rock”).
43 Biharamunean Iesus ioan nahi içan cen Galileara eta eriden ceçan Philippe, eta erran cieçon, Arreit niri.
The following day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip, and said to him, ‘Follow me.’
44 Eta Philippe cen Bethsaidaco, Andriuen eta Pierrisen hirico.
Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
45 Erideiten du Philippec Nathanael, eta diotsa, Eriden diagu Iesus Nazarethecoa, Iosephen semea, ceinez scribatu baitu Moysesec Leguean eta Prophetéc.
He found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and of whom the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph’s son!’
46 Eta erran cieçón Nathanaelec, Nazarethetic deus onic ahal date? Diotsa Philippec, Athor eta ikussac.
‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ asked Nathanael. ‘Come and see,’ replied Philip.
47 Ikus ceçan Iesusec Nathanael harengana ethorten cela, eta erran ceçan harçaz, Huná eguiazco Israelitabat ceinetan enganioric ezpaita.
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said, ‘Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!’
48 Diotsa Nathanaelec, Nondic naçaguc? Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran cieçón, Philippec dei ençan baino lehen, ficotze azpian incenean ikusten indudan.
‘How do you know me?’ asked Nathanael. ‘Even before Philip called you,’ replied Jesus, ‘when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.’
49 Ihardets ceçan Nathanaelec, eta erran cieçón, Magistruá, hi aiz Iaincoaren Semea: hi aiz Israeleco Reguea.
‘Rabbi,’ Nathanael exclaimed, ‘you are the Son of God, you are king of Israel!’
50 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, eta erran cieçón, Ceren erran drauadan, Ikussi aut ficotze azpian, sinhesten duc? gauça hauc baino handiagoric ikussiren duc.
‘Do you believe in me,’ asked Jesus, ‘because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than those!
51 Halaber erran cieçón, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, Hemendic harat ikussiren duçue ceruä irequiric, eta Iaincoaren Aingueruac igaiten eta iausten diradela guiçonaren Semearen gainera.
In truth I tell you,’ he added, ‘you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.’
