John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
ādau vāda āsīt sa ca vāda īśvareṇa sārdhamāsīt sa vādaḥ svayamīśvara eva|
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
sa ādāvīśvareṇa sahāsīt|
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
tena sarvvaṁ vastu sasṛje sarvveṣu sṛṣṭavastuṣu kimapi vastu tenāsṛṣṭaṁ nāsti|
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
sa jīvanasyākāraḥ, tacca jīvanaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ jyotiḥ
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
tajjyotirandhakāre pracakāśe kintvandhakārastanna jagrāha|
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.
yohan nāmaka eko manuja īśvareṇa preṣayāñcakre|
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all [men] through him might believe.
tadvārā yathā sarvve viśvasanti tadarthaṁ sa tajjyotiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātuṁ sākṣisvarūpo bhūtvāgamat,
8 He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear witness of that Light.
sa svayaṁ tajjyoti rna kintu tajjyotiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātumāgamat|
9 [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
jagatyāgatya yaḥ sarvvamanujebhyo dīptiṁ dadāti tadeva satyajyotiḥ|
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
sa yajjagadasṛjat tanmadya eva sa āsīt kintu jagato lokāstaṁ nājānan|
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
nijādhikāraṁ sa āgacchat kintu prajāstaṁ nāgṛhlan|
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
tathāpi ye ye tamagṛhlan arthāt tasya nāmni vyaśvasan tebhya īśvarasya putrā bhavitum adhikāram adadāt|
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
teṣāṁ janiḥ śoṇitānna śārīrikābhilāṣānna mānavānāmicchāto na kintvīśvarādabhavat|
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
sa vādo manuṣyarūpeṇāvatīryya satyatānugrahābhyāṁ paripūrṇaḥ san sārdham asmābhi rnyavasat tataḥ pituradvitīyaputrasya yogyo yo mahimā taṁ mahimānaṁ tasyāpaśyāma|
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
tato yohanapi pracāryya sākṣyamidaṁ dattavān yo mama paścād āgamiṣyati sa matto gurutaraḥ; yato matpūrvvaṁ sa vidyamāna āsīt; yadartham ahaṁ sākṣyamidam adāṁ sa eṣaḥ|
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
aparañca tasya pūrṇatāyā vayaṁ sarvve kramaśaḥ kramaśonugrahaṁ prāptāḥ|
17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
mūsādvārā vyavasthā dattā kintvanugrahaḥ satyatvañca yīśukhrīṣṭadvārā samupātiṣṭhatāṁ|
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him.]
kopi manuja īśvaraṁ kadāpi nāpaśyat kintu pituḥ kroḍastho'dvitīyaḥ putrastaṁ prakāśayat|
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
tvaṁ kaḥ? iti vākyaṁ preṣṭuṁ yadā yihūdīyalokā yājakān levilokāṁśca yirūśālamo yohanaḥ samīpe preṣayāmāsuḥ,
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
tadā sa svīkṛtavān nāpahnūtavān nāham abhiṣikta ityaṅgīkṛtavān|
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
tadā te'pṛcchan tarhi ko bhavān? kiṁ eliyaḥ? sovadat na; tataste'pṛcchan tarhi bhavān sa bhaviṣyadvādī? sovadat nāhaṁ saḥ|
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
tadā te'pṛcchan tarhi bhavān kaḥ? vayaṁ gatvā prerakān tvayi kiṁ vakṣyāmaḥ? svasmin kiṁ vadasi?
23 He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
tadā sovadat| parameśasya panthānaṁ pariṣkuruta sarvvataḥ| itīdaṁ prāntare vākyaṁ vadataḥ kasyacidravaḥ| kathāmimāṁ yasmin yiśayiyo bhaviṣyadvādī likhitavān soham|
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
ye preṣitāste phirūśilokāḥ|
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
tadā te'pṛcchan yadi nābhiṣiktosi eliyosi na sa bhaviṣyadvādyapi nāsi ca, tarhi lokān majjayasi kutaḥ?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
tato yohan pratyavocat, toye'haṁ majjayāmīti satyaṁ kintu yaṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha tādṛśa eko jano yuṣmākaṁ madhya upatiṣṭhati|
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
sa matpaścād āgatopi matpūrvvaṁ varttamāna āsīt tasya pādukābandhanaṁ mocayitumapi nāhaṁ yogyosmi|
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
yarddananadyāḥ pārasthabaithabārāyāṁ yasminsthāne yohanamajjayat tasmina sthāne sarvvametad aghaṭata|
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
pare'hani yohan svanikaṭamāgacchantaṁ yiśuṁ vilokya prāvocat jagataḥ pāpamocakam īśvarasya meṣaśāvakaṁ paśyata|
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
yo mama paścādāgamiṣyati sa matto gurutaraḥ, yato hetormatpūrvvaṁ so'varttata yasminnahaṁ kathāmimāṁ kathitavān sa evāyaṁ|
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
aparaṁ nāhamenaṁ pratyabhijñātavān kintu isrāyellokā enaṁ yathā paricinvanti tadabhiprāyeṇāhaṁ jale majjayitumāgaccham|
32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
punaśca yohanaparamekaṁ pramāṇaṁ datvā kathitavān vihāyasaḥ kapotavad avatarantamātmānam asyoparyyavatiṣṭhantaṁ ca dṛṣṭavānaham|
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
nāhamenaṁ pratyabhijñātavān iti satyaṁ kintu yo jale majjayituṁ māṁ prairayat sa evemāṁ kathāmakathayat yasyoparyyātmānam avatarantam avatiṣṭhantañca drakṣayasi saeva pavitre ātmani majjayiṣyati|
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
avastannirīkṣyāyam īśvarasya tanaya iti pramāṇaṁ dadāmi|
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
pare'hani yohan dvābhyāṁ śiṣyābhyāṁ sārddheṁ tiṣṭhan
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
yiśuṁ gacchantaṁ vilokya gaditavān, īśvarasya meṣaśāvakaṁ paśyataṁ|
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
imāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā dvau śiṣyau yīśoḥ paścād īyatuḥ|
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou?
tato yīśuḥ parāvṛtya tau paścād āgacchantau dṛṣṭvā pṛṣṭavān yuvāṁ kiṁ gaveśayathaḥ? tāvapṛcchatāṁ he rabbi arthāt he guro bhavān kutra tiṣṭhati?
39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
tataḥ sovādit etya paśyataṁ| tato divasasya tṛtīyapraharasya gatatvāt tau taddinaṁ tasya saṅge'sthātāṁ|
40 One of the two which heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
yau dvau yohano vākyaṁ śrutvā yiśoḥ paścād āgamatāṁ tayoḥ śimonpitarasya bhrātā āndriyaḥ
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
sa itvā prathamaṁ nijasodaraṁ śimonaṁ sākṣātprāpya kathitavān vayaṁ khrīṣṭam arthāt abhiṣiktapuruṣaṁ sākṣātkṛtavantaḥ|
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
paścāt sa taṁ yiśoḥ samīpam ānayat| tadā yīśustaṁ dṛṣṭvāvadat tvaṁ yūnasaḥ putraḥ śimon kintu tvannāmadheyaṁ kaiphāḥ vā pitaraḥ arthāt prastaro bhaviṣyati|
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
pare'hani yīśau gālīlaṁ gantuṁ niścitacetasi sati philipanāmānaṁ janaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvocat mama paścād āgaccha|
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
baitsaidānāmni yasmin grāme pitarāndriyayorvāsa āsīt tasmin grāme tasya philipasya vasatirāsīt|
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
paścāt philipo nithanelaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvadat mūsā vyavasthā granthe bhaviṣyadvādināṁ grantheṣu ca yasyākhyānaṁ likhitamāste taṁ yūṣaphaḥ putraṁ nāsaratīyaṁ yīśuṁ sākṣād akārṣma vayaṁ|
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
tadā nithanel kathitavān nāsarannagarāta kiṁ kaściduttama utpantuṁ śaknoti? tataḥ philipo 'vocat etya paśya|
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
aparañca yīśuḥ svasya samīpaṁ tam āgacchantaṁ dṛṣṭvā vyāhṛtavān, paśyāyaṁ niṣkapaṭaḥ satya isrāyellokaḥ|
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
tataḥ sovadad, bhavān māṁ kathaṁ pratyabhijānāti? yīśuravādīt philipasya āhvānāt pūrvvaṁ yadā tvamuḍumbarasya tarormūle'sthāstadā tvāmadarśam|
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
nithanel acakathat, he guro bhavān nitāntam īśvarasya putrosi, bhavān isrāyelvaṁśasya rājā|
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
tato yīśu rvyāharat, tvāmuḍumbarasya pādapasya mūle dṛṣṭavānāhaṁ mamaitasmādvākyāt kiṁ tvaṁ vyaśvasīḥ? etasmādapyāścaryyāṇi kāryyāṇi drakṣyasi|
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
anyaccāvādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, itaḥ paraṁ mocite meghadvāre tasmānmanujasūnunā īśvarasya dūtagaṇam avarohantamārohantañca drakṣyatha|
