John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Pada mulanya, sebelum dunia dijadikan, Sabda sudah ada. Sabda ada bersama Allah dan Sabda sama dengan Allah.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
Sejak semula Ia bersama Allah.
3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
Segalanya dijadikan melalui Dia, dan dari segala yang ada, tak satu pun dijadikan tanpa Dia.
4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
Sabda itu sumber hidup, dan hidup memberi terang kepada manusia.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Terang itu bercahaya dalam kegelapan, dan kegelapan tak dapat memadamkannya.
6 There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
Datanglah orang yang diutus Allah, Yohanes namanya.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
Ia datang mewartakan tentang terang itu, supaya semua orang percaya.
8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
Ia sendiri bukan terang itu, ia hanya mewartakannya.
9 The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
Terang sejati yang menerangi semua manusia, datang ke dunia.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
Sabda ada di dunia, dunia dijadikan melalui Dia, tetapi dunia tidak mengenal-Nya.
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
Ia datang ke negeri-Nya sendiri tetapi bangsa-Nya tidak menerima Dia.
12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
Namun ada juga orang yang menerima Dia dan percaya kepada-Nya; mereka diberi-Nya hak menjadi anak Allah,
13 children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
yang dilahirkan bukan dari manusia, sebab hidup baru itu dari Allah asalnya.
14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Sabda sudah menjadi manusia, Ia tinggal di antara kita, dan kita sudah melihat keagungan-Nya. Keagungan itu diterima-Nya sebagai Anak tunggal Bapa. Melalui Dia kita melihat Allah dan kasih-Nya kepada kita.
15 John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
Yohanes datang sebagai saksi-Nya, ia mewartakan: "Inilah Dia yang kukatakan: Dia akan datang lebih kemudian dari aku, tetapi lebih besar dari aku, sebab sebelum aku ada, Dia sudah ada."
16 From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
Ia penuh kasih; tiada hentinya, Ia memberkati kita.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Hukum Tuhan kita terima melalui Musa. Tetapi kasih dan kesetiaan Allah dinyatakan melalui Yesus Kristus.
18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
Tak ada yang pernah melihat Allah, selain anak tunggal Bapa, yang sama dengan Bapa dan erat sekali kepada-Nya. Dialah yang menyatakan Bapa kepada kita.
19 And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
Para penguasa Yahudi di Yerusalem menyuruh imam-imam dan orang-orang Lewi pergi kepada Yohanes dan menanyakan kepadanya, "Engkau ini siapa?"
20 He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Yohanes mengaku dengan terus terang, "Saya bukan Raja Penyelamat."
21 “Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
"Kalau begitu, engkau siapa?" tanya mereka. "Apakah engkau Elia?" "Bukan," jawab Yohanes. "Apakah engkau Sang Nabi?" tanya mereka lagi. "Bukan," jawabnya.
22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
"Kalau begitu, katakanlah kepada kami siapa engkau ini," kata mereka, "supaya kami dapat memberi jawaban kepada orang-orang yang menyuruh kami. Apa katamu tentang dirimu sendiri?"
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
Yohanes menjawab, "Sayalah dia yang dikatakan oleh Nabi Yesaya: 'Orang yang berseru di padang pasir: Ratakanlah jalan untuk Tuhan.'"
24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent
Orang-orang yang diutus oleh orang Farisi
25 asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
bertanya, "Kalau engkau bukan Raja Penyelamat, bukan Elia, bukan juga Sang Nabi, mengapa engkau membaptis?"
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
Yohanes menjawab, "Saya membaptis dengan air. Tetapi di tengah-tengah kalian ada orang yang tidak kalian kenal.
27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
Ia datang lebih kemudian dari saya, tetapi untuk membuka tali sepatu-Nya pun saya tidak layak."
28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Semuanya itu terjadi di Betania, sebelah timur Sungai Yordan tempat Yohanes membaptis.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Keesokan harinya, Yohanes melihat Yesus datang kepadanya. Lalu Yohanes berkata, "Lihat, itulah Anak Domba Allah yang menghapus dosa dunia.
30 This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
Dialah yang saya katakan akan datang kemudian dari saya, tetapi lebih besar dari saya, sebab sebelum saya lahir, Dia sudah ada.
31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
Sebelumnya, saya tidak tahu siapa Dia itu. Padahal saya datang membaptis dengan air supaya bangsa Israel mengenal Dia."
32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.
Yohanes juga memberi kesaksian ini, "Saya melihat Roh Allah turun seperti merpati dari langit lalu tinggal di atas-Nya.
33 I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
Waktu itu saya belum tahu siapa Dia. Tetapi Allah yang menyuruh saya membaptis dengan air sudah berkata kepada saya, 'Bila engkau melihat Roh Allah turun, lalu tinggal di atas seseorang, Dialah yang akan membaptis dengan Roh Allah.'
34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
Saya sudah melihat-Nya sendiri," kata Yohanes, "dan saya memberi kesaksian bahwa Dialah Anak Allah."
35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
Keesokan harinya Yohanes ada di tempat itu lagi dengan dua pengikutnya.
36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
Ketika ia melihat Yesus lewat, ia berkata, "Lihat! Itulah Anak Domba Allah."
37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
Kedua pengikut Yohanes mendengar kata-kata itu, lalu pergi mengikuti Yesus.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
Yesus menoleh ke belakang, dan melihat mereka sedang mengikuti Dia. Ia bertanya, "Kalian mencari apa?" Jawab mereka, "Rabi, di manakah Rabi tinggal?" (Kata 'Rabi' artinya guru.)
39 “Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
"Mari lihat sendiri," kata Yesus. Mereka pergi dengan Dia dan melihat di mana Ia tinggal. Waktu itu pukul empat sore. Hari itu mereka tinggal bersama Dia.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
Salah satu dari kedua orang yang telah mendengar apa yang dikatakan Yohanes dan kemudian pergi mengikuti Yesus, adalah Andreas, saudara Simon Petrus.
41 He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
Cepat-cepat Andreas mencari Simon, saudaranya, dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami sudah bertemu dengan Mesias!" (Mesias sama dengan Kristus, yaitu: Raja Penyelamat.)
42 Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
Andreas mengantar Simon kepada Yesus. Yesus menatap Simon, lalu berkata, "Engkau Simon, anak Yona. Engkau akan disebut Kefas." (Kefas sama dengan Petrus, artinya: gunung batu.)
43 The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
Keesokan harinya Yesus memutuskan untuk pergi ke Galilea. Ia berjumpa dengan Filipus, dan berkata kepadanya, "Mari ikut Aku!"
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
Filipus berasal dari Betsaida, yaitu tempat tinggal Andreas dan Petrus.
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Filipus bertemu dengan Natanael dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami sudah menemukan orang yang disebut oleh Musa dalam Buku Hukum Allah, dan yang diwartakan oleh nabi-nabi. Dia itu Yesus dari Nazaret, anak Yusuf."
46 “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
Tetapi Natanael menjawab, "Mungkinkah sesuatu yang baik datang dari Nazaret?" "Mari lihat sendiri," jawab Filipus.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
Yesus melihat Natanael datang, lalu berkata tentang dia, "Lihat, itu orang Israel sejati. Tak ada kepalsuan padanya."
48 “How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
"Bagaimana Bapak mengenal saya?" tanya Natanael kepada Yesus. Yesus menjawab, "Sebelum Filipus memanggilmu, Aku sudah melihat engkau di bawah pohon ara itu."
49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
"Bapak Guru," kata Natanael, "Bapak adalah Anak Allah! Bapaklah Raja bangsa Israel!"
50 Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
Yesus berkata, "Engkau percaya, hanya karena Aku mengatakan bahwa Aku sudah melihat engkau di bawah pohon ara itu? Hal-hal yang jauh lebih besar dari itu akan kaulihat!"
51 Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Kata Yesus pula, "Sungguh, percayalah, engkau akan melihat langit terbuka, dan malaikat-malaikat Allah naik turun pada Anak Manusia."
