John 1
1 From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.
Adau vAda AsIt sa ca vAda IzvarENa sArdhamAsIt sa vAdaH svayamIzvara Eva|
2 This Word was from the first in relation with God.
sa AdAvIzvarENa sahAsIt|
3 All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
tEna sarvvaM vastu sasRjE sarvvESu sRSTavastuSu kimapi vastu tEnAsRSTaM nAsti|
4 What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.
sa jIvanasyAkAraH, tacca jIvanaM manuSyANAM jyOtiH
5 And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.
tajjyOtirandhakArE pracakAzE kintvandhakArastanna jagrAha|
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
yOhan nAmaka EkO manuja IzvarENa prESayAnjcakrE|
7 He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.
tadvArA yathA sarvvE vizvasanti tadarthaM sa tajjyOtiSi pramANaM dAtuM sAkSisvarUpO bhUtvAgamat,
8 He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.
sa svayaM tajjyOti rna kintu tajjyOtiSi pramANaM dAtumAgamat|
9 The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.
jagatyAgatya yaH sarvvamanujEbhyO dIptiM dadAti tadEva satyajyOtiH|
10 He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.
sa yajjagadasRjat tanmadya Eva sa AsIt kintu jagatO lOkAstaM nAjAnan|
11 He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.
nijAdhikAraM sa Agacchat kintu prajAstaM nAgRhlan|
12 To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God — that is, to those who had faith in his name:
tathApi yE yE tamagRhlan arthAt tasya nAmni vyazvasan tEbhya Izvarasya putrA bhavitum adhikAram adadAt|
13 Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.
tESAM janiH zONitAnna zArIrikAbhilASAnna mAnavAnAmicchAtO na kintvIzvarAdabhavat|
14 And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory — such glory as is given to an only son by his father — saw it to be true and full of grace.
sa vAdO manuSyarUpENAvatIryya satyatAnugrahAbhyAM paripUrNaH san sArdham asmAbhi rnyavasat tataH pituradvitIyaputrasya yOgyO yO mahimA taM mahimAnaM tasyApazyAma|
15 John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.
tatO yOhanapi pracAryya sAkSyamidaM dattavAn yO mama pazcAd AgamiSyati sa mattO gurutaraH; yatO matpUrvvaM sa vidyamAna AsIt; yadartham ahaM sAkSyamidam adAM sa ESaH|
16 From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.
aparanjca tasya pUrNatAyA vayaM sarvvE kramazaH kramazOnugrahaM prAptAH|
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.
mUsAdvArA vyavasthA dattA kintvanugrahaH satyatvanjca yIzukhrISTadvArA samupAtiSThatAM|
18 No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.
kOpi manuja IzvaraM kadApi nApazyat kintu pituH krOPasthO'dvitIyaH putrastaM prakAzayat|
19 And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you?
tvaM kaH? iti vAkyaM prESTuM yadA yihUdIyalOkA yAjakAn lEvilOkAMzca yirUzAlamO yOhanaH samIpE prESayAmAsuH,
20 He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.
tadA sa svIkRtavAn nApahnUtavAn nAham abhiSikta ityaggIkRtavAn|
21 And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.
tadA tE'pRcchan tarhi kO bhavAn? kiM EliyaH? sOvadat na; tatastE'pRcchan tarhi bhavAn sa bhaviSyadvAdI? sOvadat nAhaM saH|
22 So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?
tadA tE'pRcchan tarhi bhavAn kaH? vayaM gatvA prErakAn tvayi kiM vakSyAmaH? svasmin kiM vadasi?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
tadA sOvadat| paramEzasya panthAnaM pariSkuruta sarvvataH| itIdaM prAntarE vAkyaM vadataH kasyacidravaH| kathAmimAM yasmin yizayiyO bhaviSyadvAdI likhitavAn sOham|
24 Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.
yE prESitAstE phirUzilOkAH|
25 And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?
tadA tE'pRcchan yadi nAbhiSiktOsi EliyOsi na sa bhaviSyadvAdyapi nAsi ca, tarhi lOkAn majjayasi kutaH?
26 John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;
tatO yOhan pratyavOcat, tOyE'haM majjayAmIti satyaM kintu yaM yUyaM na jAnItha tAdRza EkO janO yuSmAkaM madhya upatiSThati|
27 It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.
sa matpazcAd AgatOpi matpUrvvaM varttamAna AsIt tasya pAdukAbandhanaM mOcayitumapi nAhaM yOgyOsmi|
28 These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.
yarddananadyAH pArasthabaithabArAyAM yasminsthAnE yOhanamajjayat tasmina sthAnE sarvvamEtad aghaTata|
29 The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
parE'hani yOhan svanikaTamAgacchantaM yizuM vilOkya prAvOcat jagataH pApamOcakam Izvarasya mESazAvakaM pazyata|
30 This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.
yO mama pazcAdAgamiSyati sa mattO gurutaraH, yatO hEtOrmatpUrvvaM sO'varttata yasminnahaM kathAmimAM kathitavAn sa EvAyaM|
31 I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.
aparaM nAhamEnaM pratyabhijnjAtavAn kintu isrAyEllOkA EnaM yathA paricinvanti tadabhiprAyENAhaM jalE majjayitumAgaccham|
32 And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him.
punazca yOhanaparamEkaM pramANaM datvA kathitavAn vihAyasaH kapOtavad avatarantamAtmAnam asyOparyyavatiSThantaM ca dRSTavAnaham|
33 I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.
nAhamEnaM pratyabhijnjAtavAn iti satyaM kintu yO jalE majjayituM mAM prairayat sa EvEmAM kathAmakathayat yasyOparyyAtmAnam avatarantam avatiSThantanjca drakSayasi saEva pavitrE Atmani majjayiSyati|
34 This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.
avastannirIkSyAyam Izvarasya tanaya iti pramANaM dadAmi|
35 The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;
parE'hani yOhan dvAbhyAM ziSyAbhyAM sArddhEM tiSThan
36 And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!
yizuM gacchantaM vilOkya gaditavAn, Izvarasya mESazAvakaM pazyataM|
37 Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.
imAM kathAM zrutvA dvau ziSyau yIzOH pazcAd IyatuH|
38 And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?
tatO yIzuH parAvRtya tau pazcAd Agacchantau dRSTvA pRSTavAn yuvAM kiM gavEzayathaH? tAvapRcchatAM hE rabbi arthAt hE gurO bhavAn kutra tiSThati?
39 He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.
tataH sOvAdit Etya pazyataM| tatO divasasya tRtIyapraharasya gatatvAt tau taddinaM tasya saggE'sthAtAM|
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.
yau dvau yOhanO vAkyaM zrutvA yizOH pazcAd AgamatAM tayOH zimOnpitarasya bhrAtA AndriyaH
41 Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).
sa itvA prathamaM nijasOdaraM zimOnaM sAkSAtprApya kathitavAn vayaM khrISTam arthAt abhiSiktapuruSaM sAkSAtkRtavantaH|
42 And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).
pazcAt sa taM yizOH samIpam Anayat| tadA yIzustaM dRSTvAvadat tvaM yUnasaH putraH zimOn kintu tvannAmadhEyaM kaiphAH vA pitaraH arthAt prastarO bhaviSyati|
43 The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.
parE'hani yIzau gAlIlaM gantuM nizcitacEtasi sati philipanAmAnaM janaM sAkSAtprApyAvOcat mama pazcAd Agaccha|
44 Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.
baitsaidAnAmni yasmin grAmE pitarAndriyayOrvAsa AsIt tasmin grAmE tasya philipasya vasatirAsIt|
45 Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
pazcAt philipO nithanElaM sAkSAtprApyAvadat mUsA vyavasthA granthE bhaviSyadvAdinAM granthESu ca yasyAkhyAnaM likhitamAstE taM yUSaphaH putraM nAsaratIyaM yIzuM sAkSAd akArSma vayaM|
46 Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.
tadA nithanEl kathitavAn nAsarannagarAta kiM kazciduttama utpantuM zaknOti? tataH philipO 'vOcat Etya pazya|
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.
aparanjca yIzuH svasya samIpaM tam AgacchantaM dRSTvA vyAhRtavAn, pazyAyaM niSkapaTaH satya isrAyEllOkaH|
48 Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.
tataH sOvadad, bhavAn mAM kathaM pratyabhijAnAti? yIzuravAdIt philipasya AhvAnAt pUrvvaM yadA tvamuPumbarasya tarOrmUlE'sthAstadA tvAmadarzam|
49 Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!
nithanEl acakathat, hE gurO bhavAn nitAntam Izvarasya putrOsi, bhavAn isrAyElvaMzasya rAjA|
50 In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.
tatO yIzu rvyAharat, tvAmuPumbarasya pAdapasya mUlE dRSTavAnAhaM mamaitasmAdvAkyAt kiM tvaM vyazvasIH? EtasmAdapyAzcaryyANi kAryyANi drakSyasi|
51 And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.
