John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Tam-pifotorañe añe t’i Tsara, le nindre aman’ Añahare i Tsaray vaho Andrianañahare i Tsaray.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Ie taman’ Andrianañahare amy fifotorañey.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
Ie ty nañamboarañe ze he’e; aa naho tsy ie, ndra loli’e tsy ho teo ze eo.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Tama’e o haveloñeo; le nañazavàñe ondatio i haveloñey;
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
mireandreañe añ’ieñe ao i Hazavàñey, le tsy nahatindry aze i ieñey.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Teo t’indaty nirahen’ Añahare, Jaona ty tahina’e.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Pok’ eo re ho valolombeloñe hitalily i Hazavàñey, soa te hatokisa ze kila ondaty.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Tsy t’ie i Hazavàñey, f’ie ro hitaroñe i Hazavàñey.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Ie ty Hazavañe to mañazava ze hene ondaty mizilike an-tane atoy.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
Tami’ ty voatse toy atoy re naho ie ty nañamboarañe ty voatse toy, fe tsy nahafohiñ’ aze ty voatse toy.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
Nivotrak’ amo Azeo re, fe tsy nirambesa’ o Azeo.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
Fe hene nimea’e lily ho anan’ Añahare ze nandrambe aze, ze miato amy tahina’ey,
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
ie tsy nareñen-dio, tsy nisatrie’ ty nofotse, tsy nisafirie’ ondaty, fa i Andrianañahare.
14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Ninjare nofotse i Tsaray, ie namoroñe ty sokemitraha’e aman-tika atoy. Nioni’ay ty enge’e, i volonahetse mañeva ty maha bako-tokañe nampiarenen-dRae azey, ie fonitse hasoa naho hatò.
15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
Nitalily aze t’i Jaona ie nikoi-dava ty hoe: Ie i nanoeko ty hoe, I manonjohy ahiy ro ambone ahy amy t’ie taoloko.
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Songa nandrambe amy halifora’ey tika: hasoa atovon-kasoa.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
Toe i Mosè ty nanolorañe Hake, le Iesoà Norizañey ty nitotsaha’ ty falalañe naho ty hatò.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
Tsy eo ty nahatrea an’Andrianañahare ndra mbia’ mbia; i bako tokañe añ’ arañan-dRae’ey, Ie ty mitaroñe.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Zao ty enta’ i Jaona te nirahe’ o Tehodao ty mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy hirik’e Ierosaleme añe nañontane aze, ty hoe: Ia v’iheo?
20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Niantoke re, tsy nitety, fa ninà’e ty hoe: Tsy zaho i Norizañey.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Aa hoe ty ontane’ iareo: Ia arè? i Elia v’iheo? le hoe re: Tsy ie raho, I mpitokiy hao? le hoe re: Aiy!
22 They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Le hoe ty nanoa’ iareo: Ia v’iheo, hahatoiña’ay o nañirak’ anaio? Akore ty anoñona’o ty vata’o?
23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Hoe re: Zaho ty fiarañanaña’ i mikoik’ am-patrambey añey, Vantaño ty lala’ i Talè, amy nisaontsie’ Isaia mpitokiy.
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
Toe irake boak’ amo Fariseoo iereo,
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
ie nañontane ty hoe: Akore t’ie mampilipotse, ihe tsy i Norizañey, tsy i Elia, tsy i Mpitokiy?
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
Tinoi’ i Jaona ty hoe: Mampilipotse an-drano raho, fe mijohañe añivo’ areo ao ty tsy fohi’ areo;
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
i manonjohy ahy nanoeñe aolokoy; tsy sazo ahy ty hañaha i talin-kana’ey.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Nanoeñe e Betania alafe’ Iordaney zay amy fampilipora’ i Jaonay.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Tamy loakandroy, nioni’e te nitotofa’ Iesoà, le hoe re: Heheke o Vik’ añondrin’ Añahare mpañaha hakeo’ ty voatse toio.
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
Ie i nitaroñekoy ty hoe: Manonjohy ahy t’indaty ambone te amako amy t’ie taoloko.
31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
Tsy napotako re: fe ty hampiboahañe aze am’ Israele ty nivotrahako atoy hampilipotse an-drano.
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Le hoe ty nitaroñe’ i Jaona: Nahatrea i Arofoy raho, nizotso hoe deho boak’an-dindìñe ey nipetake ama’e.
33 I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
Ninofiko re, fe nanao ty hoe amako i nañitrik’ ahy hampilipotse an-dranoy: Ty isa’o izotsoa’ i Arofoy vaho mipetak’ ama’e, ie ty mandipotse amy Arofo Masiñey.
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
Le nahatrea raho vaho mitaroñe te Ie i Anak’ Andrianañaharey.
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Nijohañ’eo mindre ami’ty mpiama’e roe t’i Jaona te loak’ andro.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
Aa ie nahaisake Iesoà nañavelo, le hoe re: Heheke o Vik’ añondrin’ Añahareo!
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Jinanji’ i mpiama’e roe rey i saontsi’ey le nañorike Iesoà.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Nitolike t’Iesoà, nahavazoho t’ie nañorike vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ty ipaia’ areo? Le hoe iereo tama’e: O Raby, toe: Talè, aia ty imoneña’o?
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Le nanoa’e ty hoe: Antao, hañisake: Aa le nimb’eo iereo nahaisake i nimoneña’ey le nitambatse ama’e ao amy àndroy, ie va’e tami’ty ora faha-folo.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Ty raik’ amy roe nahajanjiñe i Jaona naho nanonjohy aze rey le i Andrea, rahalahi’ i Simona Petera;
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
Tendrek’ aze hey t’i Simona rahalahi’e le nanoa’e ty hoe: Nioni’ay t’i Mesia, toe: i Norizañey.
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).
Nindese’e mb’amy Iesoà mb’eo, le ie nivazoho Iesoà le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ihe ro Simona ana’ i Jaona. Hatao Kefasy rehe, toe: vato).
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Ie amy loak’ androy te homb’ e Galilia ao t’Iesoà, le nitendreke i Filipo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Oriho raho.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Nte-Betsaida t’i Filipo, ty rova’ i Andrea naho i Petera.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Nirendre’ i Filipo t’i Natanaela vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa nifanjo amy sinoki’ i Mosè amy Hake naho amo Mpitokioy zahay, Iesoà nte-Nazareta, ana’ Iosefe!
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Hoe t’i Natanaela tama’e: Mete iboahan-draha soa hao ty Nazareta? Antao hisary, hoe t’i Filipo ama’e.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Ie nivazoho’ Iesoà t’i Natanaela nitotok’ aze, le hoe re ty ama’e: Heheke, ty toe ana’ Israele, ty tsy am-pamañahiañe!
48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Le hoe ty nanoa’ i Natanaela: Aia ty naharofoana’o ahy? Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ihe mbe tsy kinai’ i Filipo le nitreako ambane’ i sakoañey.
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Aa le tinoi’ i Natanaela ty hoe: O Raby, Anan’ Añahare rehe; Ihe ro Mpanjaka’ Israele.
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
Le ty hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà aze: Amy te nanoako t’ie nahatrea azo ambane’ i sakoañey hao ro nampiantok’ azo? Mbe ho oni’o ty lombolombo’e.
51 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Le tinovo’e ty hoe: Eka! to t’itaroñako te mbe ho oni’ areo ty fisokafa’ i likerañey naho ty fionjonañe naho ty fizotsoa’ o anjelin’ Añahareo amy Ana’ ondatiy.
