Jean 1
1 Er penn-kentañ e oa ar Ger, hag ar Ger a oa gant Doue, hag ar Ger a oa Doue.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Er penn-kentañ e oa gant Doue.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 An holl draoù a zo bet graet drezañ, ha netra eus ar pezh a zo bet graet, n'eo bet graet heptañ.
All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.
4 Ennañ e oa ar vuhez, hag ar vuhez a oa sklêrijenn an dud.
In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.
5 Ar sklêrijenn he deus lugernet en deñvalijenn, hag an deñvalijenn n'he deus ket he degemeret.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
6 Bez' e voe un den, anvet Yann, kaset a-berzh Doue.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Dont a reas da vezañ test, da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn, evit ma kredje an holl drezañ.
He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.
8 Ne oa ket ar sklêrijenn, met kaset e oa da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn.
He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.
9 Ar sklêrijenn wirion, an hini a sklaera pep den, a oa o tont er bed.
The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.
10 Er bed e oa, hag ar bed a zo bet graet gantañ; met ar bed n'en deus ket e anavezet.
He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
11 Deuet eo da gavout e re, hag e re n'o eus ket e zegemeret.
He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.
12 Met d'an holl re o deus e zegemeret, en deus roet an droed da vezañ graet bugale da Zoue, da c'houzout eo, d'an holl re a gred en e anv,
But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
13 ar re n'int ket bet ganet eus ar gwad, nag eus bolontez ar c'hig, nag eus bolontez an den, met eus Doue.
who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.
14 Hag ar Ger a zo bet graet kig, hag en deus chomet en hon touez, leun a c'hras hag a wirionez, ha gwelet hon eus e c'hloar, ur gloar evel hini Mab nemetañ an Tad.
And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.
15 Yann a roas testeni dezhañ, pa grias o lavarout: Hemañ eo an hini a lavaren diwar e benn: An hini a zeu war va lerc'h a zo dreiston, abalamour ma oa kentoc'h egedon.
John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put before me,' for He was before me."
16 Ni holl hon eus resevet eus e leunder, ha gras evit gras.
For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Rak al lezenn a zo bet roet dre Voizez, an drugarez hag ar wirionez a zo deuet dre Jezuz-Krist.
For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Den n'en deus biskoazh gwelet Doue; ar Mab nemetañ a zo en askre an Tad, eo an hini en deus graet e anavezout.
No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.
19 Setu amañ testeni Yann, pa gasas ar Yuzevien eus Jeruzalem beleien ha levited da c'houlenn outañ: Piv out-te?
This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
20 Disklêriañ a reas ha ne nac'has ket, disklêriañ a reas: N'on ket-me ar C'hrist.
He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."
21 Hag e c'houlennjont outañ: Piv out eta? Bez' out Elia? Eñ a lavaras: N'on ket. Bez' out ar profed? Eñ a respontas: Nann.
"What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
22 Int a lavaras eta dezhañ: Piv out-te? Evit ma roimp respont d'ar re o deus hon degaset. Petra a lavarez ac'hanout da-unan?
So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
23 Eñ a lavaras: Me eo mouezh an hini a gri el lec'h distro: Plaenit hent an Aotrou, evel m'en deus lavaret ar profed Izaia.
"I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, 'Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah."
24 Ar re a oa bet kaset a oa farizianed.
They were Pharisees who had been sent.
25 Goulenn a rejont outañ: Perak e vadezez, ma n'out nag ar C'hrist, nag Elia, nag ar profed?
Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"
26 Yann a respontas hag a lavaras dezho: Evidon-me, me a vadez en dour; met unan bennak a zo en ho touez, ha n'anavezit ket anezhañ.
"I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--
27 Hennezh eo an hini a zeu war va lerc'h, [hag a zo dreiston]; ha n'on ket dellezek da zieren korreenn e votoù.
He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."
28 Kement-mañ a c'hoarvezas e Betania, en tu all d'ar Jordan, e-lec'h ma vadeze Yann.
This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a welas Jezuz o tont d'e gavout, hag a lavaras: Setu Oan Doue, an hini a lam pec'hed ar bed.
The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!
30 Eñ eo an hini e lavaren diwar e benn: Dont a ra war va lerc'h un den hag a zo dreiston, rak a-raok din e oa.
This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'
31 Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met deuet on da vadeziñ en dour, evit ma vo disklêriet da Israel.
I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."
32 Yann a roas c'hoazh an testeni-mañ, o lavarout: Gwelet em eus ar Spered o tiskenn eus an neñv evel ur goulm, hag o tont warnañ.
John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.
33 Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met an hini en deus va c'haset da vadeziñ en dour, en deus lavaret din: An hini a weli ar Spered o tiskenn hag o chom warnañ, hennezh eo an hini a vadez er Spered-Santel.
I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Hag em eus gwelet, hag em eus roet testeni eo eñ Mab Doue.
"This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God."
35 An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a oa c'hoazh eno gant daou eus e ziskibien,
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 hag o welout Jezuz a valee, e lavaras: Setu Oan Doue.
when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
37 An daou ziskibl, o vezañ e glevet o komz evel-se, a heulias Jezuz.
The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jezuz o vezañ distroet hag o welout e heulient anezhañ, a lavaras dezho: Petra a glaskit? Respont a rejont dezhañ: Rabbi (da lavarout eo Mestr), pelec'h e chomez?
Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
39 Eñ a lavaras dezho: Deuit ha gwelit. Mont a rejont, hag e weljont pelec'h e chome, hag e chomjont gantañ an deiz-se, rak war-dro an dekvet eur e oa.
"Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
40 Andrev, breur Simon-Pêr, a oa unan eus an daou o devoa klevet ar pezh en devoa lavaret Yann, hag o devoa heuliet Jezuz.
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
41 Andrev a gavas da gentañ Simon e vreur, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Ni hon eus kavet ar Mesiaz (da lavarout eo ar C'hrist, an Eouliet).
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" --that is to say, the Anointed One.
42 Hag e tegasas anezhañ da Jezuz. Jezuz, o vezañ sellet outañ, a lavaras dezhañ: Te eo Simon, mab Jona; te a vo galvet Kefaz (da lavarout eo Pêr).
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or 'Rock').
43 An deiz war-lerc'h, Jezuz a c'hoantaas mont e Galilea, hag e kavas Filip; lavarout a reas dezhañ: Heul ac'hanon.
The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
44 Filip a oa eus Betsaida, kêr Andrev ha Pêr.
(Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
45 Filip a gavas Natanael hag a lavaras dezhañ: Kavet hon eus an hini a zo bet skrivet diwar e benn gant Moizez el lezenn ha gant ar brofeded: Jezuz, mab Jozef, eus Nazared.
Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."
46 Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: Hag eus Nazared e c'hell dont un dra vat bennak? Filip a lavaras dezhañ: Deus ha gwel.
"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
47 Jezuz, o welout Natanael o tont d'e gavout, a lavaras diwar e benn: Setu ur gwir Israelad, ha n'eus ket a droidell ennañ.
Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
48 Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: A-belec'h ec'h anavezez ac'hanon? Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: A-raok ma c'halvas Filip ac'hanout, pa oas dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e welen ac'hanout.
"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
49 Natanael a respontas dezhañ: Mestr, te eo Mab Doue, te eo roue Israel.
"Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
50 Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: Abalamour ma em eus lavaret dit em boa da welet dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e kredez; te a welo traoù brasoc'h eget ar re-mañ.
"Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."
51 Lavarout a reas ivez dezhañ: E gwirionez, e gwirionez, me a lavar deoc'h: A-vremañ c'hwi a welo an neñv digor, hag aeled Doue o pignat hag o tiskenn a-us da Vab an den.
"I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man."
