يوحنَّا 1
| فِي الْبَدْءِ كَانَ الْكَلِمَةُ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللهِ. وَكَانَ الْكَلِمَةُ اللهُ. | ١ 1 |
In the beginning the Word was; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God.
| هَذَا كَانَ فِي الْبَدْءِ عِنْدَ اللهِ. | ٢ 2 |
He was in the beginning with God;
| بِهِ تَكَوَّنَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَبِغَيْرِهِ لَمْ يَتَكَوَّنْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا تَكَوَّنَ. | ٣ 3 |
through him all things came into being, and nothing came into being apart from him.
| فِيهِ كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ. وَالْحَيَاةُ كَانَتِ نُورَ النَّاسِ. | ٤ 4 |
That which came into being in him was life; and the life was the light of humanity;
| وَالنُّورُ يُضِيءُ فِي الظَّلاَمِ، وَالظَّلاَمُ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ النُّورَ. | ٥ 5 |
and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness never overpowered it.
| ظَهَرَ إِنْسَانٌ أَرْسَلَهُ اللهُ، اسْمُهُ يُوحَنَّا، | ٦ 6 |
There appeared a man sent from God, whose name was John;
| جَاءَ يَشْهَدُ لِلنُّورِ، لِكَيْ يُؤْمِنَ الْجَمِيعُ بِوَاسِطَتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
he came as a witness – to bear witness to the light so that through him everyone might believe.
| لَمْ يَكُنْ هُوَ النُّورَ، بَلْ كَانَ شَاهِداً لِلنُّورِ، | ٨ 8 |
He was not the light, but he came to bear witness to the light.
| فَالنُّورُ الْحَقُّ الَّذِي يُنِيرُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ كَانَ آتِياً إِلَى الْعَالَمِ. | ٩ 9 |
That was the true light which enlightens everyone coming into the world.
| كَانَ فِي الْعَالَمِ، وَبِهِ تَكَوَّنَ الْعَالَمُ، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ الْعَالَمُ. | ١٠ 10 |
He was in the world; and through him the world came into being – yet the world did not know him.
| وَقَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى خَاصَّتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ لَمْ يَقْبَلُوهُ. | ١١ 11 |
He came to his own – yet his own did not receive him.
| أَمَّا الَّذِينَ قَبِلُوهُ، أَيِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاسْمِهِ، فَقَدْ مَنَحَهُمُ الْحَقَّ فِي أَنْ يَصِيرُوا أَوْلاَدَ اللهِ، | ١٢ 12 |
But to all who did receive him he gave power to become children of God – to those who believe in his name.
| وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَيْسَ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلاَ مِنْ رَغْبَةِ جَسَدٍ، وَلاَ مِنْ رَغْبَةِ بَشَرٍ، بَلْ مِنَ اللهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
For not to natural conception, nor to human instincts, nor to human will did they owe the new life, but to God.
| وَالْكَلِمَةُ صَارَ بَشَراً، وَخَيَّمَ بَيْنَنَا، وَنَحْنُ رَأَيْنَا مَجْدَهُ، مَجْدَ ابْنٍ وَحِيدٍ عِنْدَ الآبِ، وَهُوَ مُمْتَلِىءٌ بِالنِّعْمَةِ وَالْحَقِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the Word became human, and lived among us, (We saw his glory – the glory of the Only Son sent from the Father), full of love and truth.
| شَهِدَ لَهُ يُوحَنَّا فَهَتَفَ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّ الآتِيَ بَعْدِي مُتَقَدِّمٌ عَلَيَّ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُوْجَدَ». | ١٥ 15 |
(John bears witness to him; he cried aloud – for it was he who spoke – ‘He who is coming after me is now before me, for he was ever first’);
| فَمِنِ امْتِلاَئِهِ أَخَذْنَا جَمِيعُنَا وَنِلْنَا نِعْمَةً عَلَى نِعْمَةٍ، | ١٦ 16 |
out of his fullness we have all received gift after gift of love;
| لأَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ أُعْطِيَتْ عَلَى يَدِ مُوسَى، أَمَّا النِّعْمَةُ وَالْحَقُّ فَقَدْ تَوَاجَدَا بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. | ١٧ 17 |
for the Law was given through Moses, love and truth came through Jesus Christ.
| مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ رَأَى اللهَ قَطُّ. وَلَكِنَّ الابْنَ الْوَحِيدَ، الَّذِي فِي حِضْنِ الآبِ، هُوَ الَّذِي خَبَّرَ. | ١٨ 18 |
No one has ever yet seen God; God the only Son, who is ever with the Father – he has revealed him.
| وَهذِهِ شَهَادَةُ يُوحَنَّا حِينَ أَرْسَلَ الْيَهُودُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْضَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللاَّوِيِّينَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتْ؟» | ١٩ 19 |
When the religious authorities in Jerusalem sent some Priests and Levites to ask John – ‘Who are you?’,
| فَاعْتَرَفَ وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ، بَلْ أَكَّدَ قَائِلاً: «لَسْتُ أَنَا الْمَسِيحَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
he told them clearly and simply, ‘I am not the Christ.’
| فَسَأَلُوهُ: «مَاذَا إِذَنْ؟ هَلْ أَنْتَ إِيلِيَّا؟» قَالَ: «لَسْتُ إِيَّاهُ!»؛ «أَوَ أَنْتَ النَّبِيُّ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «لاَ!» | ٢١ 21 |
‘What then?’ they asked. ‘Are you Elijah?’ ‘No,’ he said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you “the prophet”?’ He answered, ‘No.’
| فَقَالُوا: «فَمَنْ أَنْتَ، لِنَحْمِلَ الْجَوَابَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُونَا؟ مَاذَا تَقُولُ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ؟» | ٢٢ 22 |
‘Who then are you?’ they continued. ‘Tell us so that we have an answer to give to those who have sent us. What do you say about yourself?’
| فَقَالَ «أَنَا صَوْتُ مُنَادٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ: اجْعَلُوا الطَّرِيقَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ إِشَعْيَاءُ». | ٢٣ 23 |
‘I,’ he answered, ‘am – “The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: make a straight road for the Lord”, as the prophet Isaiah said.’
| وَكَانَ هؤُلاَءِ مُرْسَلِينَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
These men had been sent from the Pharisees;
| فَعَادُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ: «إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ، وَلاَ إِيلِيَّا، وَلاَ النَّبِيَّ، فَلِمَاذَا تُعَمِّدُ إِذَنْ؟» | ٢٥ 25 |
and their next question was, ‘Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ or Elijah or “the prophet”?’
| أَجَابَ: «أَنَا أُعَمِّدُ بِالْمَاءِ! وَلكِنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ لاَ تَعْرِفُونَهُ، | ٢٦ 26 |
John’s answer was – ‘I baptize with water, but among you stands one whom you do not know;
| وَهُوَ الآتِي بَعْدِي، وَأَنَا لاَ أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَحُلَّ رِبَاطَ حِذَائِهِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
he is coming after me, yet I am not worthy even to unfasten his sandal.’
| هَذَا جَرَى فِي بَيْتَ عَنْيَا، عَبْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
This happened at Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي رَأَى يُوحَنَّا يَسُوعَ آتِياً نَحْوَهُ، فَهَتَفَ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا هُوَ حَمَلُ اللهِ الَّذِي يُزِيلُ خَطِيئَةَ الْعَالَمِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and exclaimed, ‘Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
| هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ عَنْهُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ الآتِيَ بَعْدِي مُتَقَدِّمٌ عَلَيَّ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُوْجَدَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
I was talking about him when I said “After me there is coming a man who ranks ahead of me, because before I was born he already was.”
| وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ وَلَكِنِّي جِئْتُ أُعَمِّدُ بِالْمَاءِ لِكَيْ يُعْلَنَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٣١ 31 |
I did not know who he was, but I have come baptizing with water to make him known to Israel.’
| ثُمَّ شَهِدَ يُوحَنَّا فَقَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ الرُّوحَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِهَيْئَةِ حَمَامَةٍ وَيَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
John also said: ‘I saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and rest on him.
| وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ، وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي لأُعَمِّدَ بِالْمَاءِ هُوَ قَالَ لِي: الَّذِي تَرَى الرُّوحَ يَنْزِلُ وَيَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيُعَمِّدُ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me “He on whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him – he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.”
| فَإِذْ شَاهَدْتُ هَذَا، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ». | ٣٤ 34 |
This I have seen myself, and I have declared my belief that he is the Son of God.’
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي كَانَ يُوحَنَّا وَاقِفاً هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً وَمَعَهُ اثْنَانِ مِنْ تَلاَمِيذِهِ، | ٣٥ 35 |
The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples,
| فَنَظَرَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ وَهُوَ سَائِرٌ فَقَالَ: «هَذَا هُوَ حَمَلُ اللهِ». | ٣٦ 36 |
he looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed, ‘There is the Lamb of God!’
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ التِّلْمِيذَانِ كَلاَمَهُ تَبِعَا يَسُوعَ. | ٣٧ 37 |
The two disciples heard him say this, and followed Jesus.
| وَالْتَفَتَ يَسُوعُ فَرَآهُمَا يَتْبَعَانِهِ، فَسَأَلَهُمَا: «مَاذَا تُرِيدَانِ؟» فَقَالاَ: «رَابِّي، أَيْ يَامُعَلِّمُ، أَيْنَ تُقِيمُ؟» | ٣٨ 38 |
But Jesus turned round, and saw them following. ‘What are you looking for?’ he asked. ‘Rabbi,’ they answered (or, as we should say, “Teacher”), ‘where are you staying?’
| أَجَابَهُمَا: «تَعَالَيَا وَانْظُرَا». فَرَافَقَاهُ وَرَأَيَا مَحَلَّ إِقَامَتِهِ، وَأَقَامَا مَعَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ؛ وَكَانَتِ السَّاعَةُ نَحْوَ الرَّابِعَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
‘Come, and you will see,’ he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.
| وَكَانَ أَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُو سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ أَحَدَ هَذَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ تَبِعَا يَسُوعَ، بَعْدَمَا سَمِعَا كَلاَمَ يُوحَنَّا، | ٤٠ 40 |
One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
| فَمَا إِنْ وَجَدَ أَخَاهُ سِمْعَانَ، حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ: «وَجَدْنَا الْمَسِيَّا» أَيِ الْمَسِيحَ. | ٤١ 41 |
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah!’ (a word which means “Christ,” or “Consecrated”.)
| وَاقْتَادَهُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ. فَنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ مَلِيّاً إِلَى سِمْعَانَ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ سِمْعَانُ بْنُ يُونَا، وَلَكِنِّي سَأَدْعُوكَ: صَفَا» أَيْ صَخْراً. | ٤٢ 42 |
Then he brought him to Jesus. Looking straight at him, Jesus said, ‘You are Simon, the son of John; you will be called Cephas’ (which means “Peter,” or “Rock”).
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي نَوَى يَسُوعُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، فَوَجَدَ فِيلِبُّسَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اتْبَعْنِي!» | ٤٣ 43 |
The following day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip, and said to him, ‘Follow me.’
| وَكَانَ فِيلِبُّسُ مِنْ بَيْتَ صَيْدَا، بَلْدَةِ أَنْدَرَاوُسَ وَبُطْرُسَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
| ثُمَّ وَجَدَ فِيلِبُّسُ نَثَنَائِيلَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «وَجَدْنَا الَّذِي كَتَبَ عَنْهُ مُوسَى فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ فِي كُتُبِهِمْ وَهُوَ يَسُوعُ ابْنُ يُوسُفَ مِنَ النَّاصِرَةِ». | ٤٥ 45 |
He found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and of whom the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph’s son!’
| فَقَالَ نَثَنَائِيلُ: «وَهَلْ يَطْلُعُ مِنَ النَّاصِرَةِ شَيْءٌ صَالِحٌ؟» أَجَابَهُ فِيلِبُّسُ: «تَعَالَ وَانْظُرْ!» | ٤٦ 46 |
‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ asked Nathanael. ‘Come and see,’ replied Philip.
| وَرَأَى يَسُوعُ نَثَنَائِيلَ قَادِماً نَحْوَهُ فَقَالَ عَنْهُ: «هَذَا إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ أَصِيلٌ لاَ شَكَّ فِيهِ!» | ٤٧ 47 |
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said, ‘Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!’
| فَسَأَلَهُ نَثَنَائِيلُ: «وَمِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْرِفُنِي؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «رَأَيْتُكَ تَحْتَ التِّينَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَكَ فِيلِبُّسُ». | ٤٨ 48 |
‘How do you know me?’ asked Nathanael. ‘Even before Philip called you,’ replied Jesus, ‘when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.’
| فَهَتَفَ نَثَنَائِيلُ قَائِلاً: «يَامُعَلِّمُ، أَنْتَ ابْنُ اللهِ! أَنْتَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ!» | ٤٩ 49 |
‘Rabbi,’ Nathanael exclaimed, ‘you are the Son of God, you are king of Israel!’
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «هَلْ آمَنْتَ لأَنِّي قُلْتُ لَكَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تَحْتَ التِّينَةِ؟ سَوْفَ تَرَى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا!» | ٥٠ 50 |
‘Do you believe in me,’ asked Jesus, ‘because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than those!
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ السَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَمَلاَئِكَةَ اللهِ يَصْعَدُونَ وَيَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ!» | ٥١ 51 |
In truth I tell you,’ he added, ‘you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.’
