< यूहन्‍ना 1 >

1 सुरुमा वचन हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । वचन परमेश्‍वरसँग हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । अनि वचन नै परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 उहाँ सुरुदेखि नै परमेश्‍वरसँग हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
He was in the beginning with God.
3 सबै थोकहरू उहाँद्वारा बनिए, र बनिएको कुनै पनि थोक उहाँविना बनिएन ।
All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.
4 उहाँमा जीवन थियो, अनि त्‍यो जीवन सबै मानिसहरूका लागि ज्‍योति थियो ।
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 ज्‍योति अन्धकारमा चम्‍किन्छ, अनि अन्धकारले यसलाई जितेन ।
And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.
6 परमेश्‍वरबाट पठाइएका एक जना मानिस थिए, जसको नाउँ यूहन्‍ना थियो ।
There was a man sent from God, his name John.
7 उहाँद्वारा सबैले विश्‍वास गरून् भनेर उहाँ ज्‍योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन साक्षीको रूपमा आउनुभयो ।
He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.
8 यूहन्‍ना ज्‍योति थिएनन्, तर ज्‍योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन भनेर उनी आए ।
He was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.
9 उहाँ सबै मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुने र संसारमा आउनुहुने सत्‍य ज्‍योति हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.
10 उहाँ संसारमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र संसार उहाँद्वारा नै बनियो, तर संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन ।
He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.
11 उहाँ आफ्नैहरूकहाँ आउनुभयो, तर उहाँलाई आफ्नैहरूले स्‍वीकार गरेनन् ।
He came to his own, and his own received him not;
12 तर जतिले उहाँलाई स्‍वीकार गरे अर्थात् उहाँको नाउँमा विश्‍वास गरे उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरका सन्तानहरू हुने अधिकार दिनुभयो ।
but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;
13 यिनीहरू न रगतले, न शारीरिक इच्छाअनुसार, न मानिसको इच्छाअनुसार नै जन्‍मेका थिए, तर परमेश्‍वरबाट जन्‍मेका थिए ।
who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.
14 अनि वचन देहधारी हुनुभयो र हाम्रा बिचमा बास गर्नुभयो । हामीले पिताबाट आउनुभएका एक मात्रको जस्तो अर्थात् अनुग्रह र सत्यताले पूर्ण महिमा देख्यौँ ।
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;
15 यूहन्‍नाले उहाँको बारेमा गवाही दिए, र ठुलो सोरले यसो भने, “मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको व्‍यक्‍ति उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्‍छ ।”
(John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me; )
16 किनकि उहाँको पूर्णताबाट हामी सबैले अनुग्रहमाथि अनुग्रह पाएका छौँ ।
for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.
17 किनकि व्‍यवस्‍था मोशाद्वारा दिइयो । अनुग्रह र सत्‍यता येशू ख्रीष्‍टद्वारा आयो ।
For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.
18 कसैले पनि परमेश्‍वरलाई कहिल्‍यै देखेको छैन । पिताको छातीमा अडेस लाग्‍नुहुने एक मात्र परमेश्‍वरले उहाँलाई चिनाउनुभएको छ ।
No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
19 यहूदीहरूले यरूशलेमबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनी सोध्‍न पठाउँदा यूहन्‍नाको गवाही यही हो ।
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?
20 उनले खुला भएर भने, र इन्कार गरेनन्, तर जवाफ दिए, “म ख्रीष्‍ट होइनँ ।”
And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.
21 त्‍यसकारण, तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “त्‍यसो भए तिमी को हौ त? के तिमी एलिया हौ?” उनले भने, “होइनँ ।” तिनीहरूले भने, “के तिमी अगमवक्‍ता हौ?” उनले जवाफ दिए, “होइनँ ।”
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “तिमी को हौ, ताकि हामीलाई पठाउनेहरूलाई हामीले जवाफ दिन सकौँ? तिमी आफ्नै बारेमा के भन्‍छौ?”
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 उनले भने, “म मरुभूमिमा कराइरहेको एउटा आवाज हुँ । ‘परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति बाटो सोझो बनाओ’ जस्तो यशैया अगमवक्‍ताले भने ।”
He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.
24 ती पठाइएकाहरू फरिसीहरूबाटका थिए ।
And they were sent from among the Pharisees.
25 तिनीहरूले उनलाई सोधे र भने, “तिमी न ख्रीष्‍ट, न एलिया, न अगमवक्‍ता नै हौ भने किन बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिन्‍छौ?”
And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
26 अनि यूहन्‍नाले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर जवाफ दिए, “म पानीले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिन्‍छु । तर तिमीहरूका माझमा तिमीहरूले नचिनेको कोही खडा हुनुहुन्‍छ,
John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,
27 उहाँ जो मपछि आउनुहुन्‍छ, म उहाँको जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्‍न लायकको छैनँ ।”
he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.
28 यर्दनको पारिपट्टि बेथानियामा यी कुराहरू गरिएका थिए, जहाँ यूहन्‍नाले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिइरहेका थिए ।
These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.
29 अर्को दिन यूहन्‍नाले येशू आफूकहाँ आइरहनुभएको देखे र भने, “हेर, संसारको पाप उठाइलानुहुने परमेश्‍वरका थुमा!
On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;
31 म उहाँलाई चिन्‍दिनथेँ, तर उहाँलाई इस्राएलीहरूप्रति प्रकट गराउन सकियोस् भनी म पानीले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै आएँ ।”
and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.
32 यूहन्‍नाले यसरी गवाही दिए, “मैले पवित्र आत्‍मा स्‍वर्गबाट ढुकुरझैँ ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि बस्‍नुभएको देखेँ ।
And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
33 मैले उहाँलाई चिन्दिनथेँ, तर पानीमा बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिन पठाउनुहुनेले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, ‘तिमीले जसमाथि पवित्र आत्‍मा ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि रहनुभएको देख्छौ, पवित्र आत्‍माले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिनुहुने उहाँले नै हुनुहुन्छ ।’
And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, he said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.
34 मैले देखेको, र उहाँ नै परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्‍छ भनेर गवाही दिएको छु ।”
And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 फेरि अर्को दिन यूहन्‍ना आफ्ना दुई जना चेलासँग उभिरहँदा,
Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.
36 तिनीहरूले येशू त्यही बाटो भएर हिँडिरहनुभएको देखे, र यूहन्‍नाले भने, “हेर, परमेश्‍वरका थुमा!”
And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.
37 यी दुई चेलाले यूहन्‍नाले यसो भनेका सुने, र तिनीहरूले येशूलाई पछ्याए ।
And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.
38 तब येशूले तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पछ्याइरहेका देख्‍नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरू के चाहन्‍छौ?” तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिए, “रब्बी (जसको अर्थ हो, गुरु), तपाईं कहाँ बस्दै हुनुहुन्छ?”
But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?
39 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “आऊ अनि देख्छौ ।” तब उनीहरू आए र उहाँ कहाँ बसिरहनुभएको थियो भनी देखे । त्‍यस दिन तिनीहरू उहाँसँगै बसे, किनभने दसौँ पहर हुन लागेको थियो ।
He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
40 यूहन्‍नाले भनेको सुन्‍ने र येशूलाई पछ्याउनेहरू यी दुई जनामध्‍ये एक जना सिमोन पत्रुसका भाइ अन्‍द्रियास थिए ।
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard [this] from John and followed him.
41 अन्‍द्रियासले आफ्ना भाइ सिमोनलाई भेट्टाएर भने, “हामीले मसीह (जसलाई ख्रीष्‍ट भनिन्छ) लाई भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).
42 उनले आफ्ना भाइलाई येशूकहाँ ल्‍याए । अनि येशूले उनलाई हेर्नुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमी यूहन्‍नाका छोरा सिमोन हौ । तिमीलाई केफास (जसको अर्थ पत्रुस हो ) भनिनेछ ।
And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).
43 अर्को दिन जब येशू गालीलतिर जान त्यस ठाउँलाई छोड्न चाहनुभयो, उहाँले फिलिपलाई भेट्‌नुभयो र उनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई पछ्याऊ ।”
On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
44 फिलिप बेथसेदाका थिए जुन अन्‍द्रियास र पत्रुसको सहर थियो ।
And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 फिलिपले नथानेललाई भेटे र उनलाई भने, “मोशाको व्‍यवस्‍थामा र अगमवक्‍ताहरूले लेखेका अर्थात् नासरतका योसेफका छोरो येशूलाई हामीले भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.
46 नथानेलले उनलाई भने, “के नासरतबाट कुनै असल कुरा आउन सक्‍छ र?” फिलिपले उनलाई भने, “आएर हेर!”
And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
47 येशूले नथानेललाई आफूकहाँ आइरहेको देख्‍नुभयो र उनलाई उनको बारेमा भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, कुनै छल नभएका एक इस्राएली!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold [one] truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.
48 नथानेलले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईं मलाई कसरी चिन्‍नुहुन्‍छ?” येशूले उनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “फिलिपले बोलाउनुभन्‍दा पहिले तिमी नेभाराको रुखमुनि हुँदा नै मैले तिमीलाई देखेँ ।”
Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 नथानेलले जवाफ दिए, “रब्‍बी, तपाईं परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्‍छ! तपाईं इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्‍छ!”
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
50 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “‘मैले तिमीलाई नेभाराको रुखमुनि देखेँ भनेको कारण, के तिमी मलाई विश्‍वास गर्छौ? तिमीले योभन्‍दा ठुला-ठुला कुराहरू देख्‍नेछौ ।”
Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍दछु, “तिमीहरूले स्‍वर्ग उघ्रिएको, अनि परमेश्‍वरका स्‍वर्गदूतहरू मानिसका पुत्रमाथि ओर्लिरहेका र उक्‍लिरहेका देख्‍नेछौ ।”
And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
