< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
सुरुमा वचन हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । वचन परमेश्‍वरसँग हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । अनि वचन नै परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
उहाँ सुरुदेखि नै परमेश्‍वरसँग हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
सबै थोकहरू उहाँद्वारा बनिए, र बनिएको कुनै पनि थोक उहाँविना बनिएन ।
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
उहाँमा जीवन थियो, अनि त्‍यो जीवन सबै मानिसहरूका लागि ज्‍योति थियो ।
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
ज्‍योति अन्धकारमा चम्‍किन्छ, अनि अन्धकारले यसलाई जितेन ।
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
परमेश्‍वरबाट पठाइएका एक जना मानिस थिए, जसको नाउँ यूहन्‍ना थियो ।
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
उहाँद्वारा सबैले विश्‍वास गरून् भनेर उहाँ ज्‍योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन साक्षीको रूपमा आउनुभयो ।
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
यूहन्‍ना ज्‍योति थिएनन्, तर ज्‍योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन भनेर उनी आए ।
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
उहाँ सबै मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुने र संसारमा आउनुहुने सत्‍य ज्‍योति हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
उहाँ संसारमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र संसार उहाँद्वारा नै बनियो, तर संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन ।
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
उहाँ आफ्नैहरूकहाँ आउनुभयो, तर उहाँलाई आफ्नैहरूले स्‍वीकार गरेनन् ।
12 But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
तर जतिले उहाँलाई स्‍वीकार गरे अर्थात् उहाँको नाउँमा विश्‍वास गरे उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरका सन्तानहरू हुने अधिकार दिनुभयो ।
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
यिनीहरू न रगतले, न शारीरिक इच्छाअनुसार, न मानिसको इच्छाअनुसार नै जन्‍मेका थिए, तर परमेश्‍वरबाट जन्‍मेका थिए ।
14 And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
अनि वचन देहधारी हुनुभयो र हाम्रा बिचमा बास गर्नुभयो । हामीले पिताबाट आउनुभएका एक मात्रको जस्तो अर्थात् अनुग्रह र सत्यताले पूर्ण महिमा देख्यौँ ।
15 Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
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 ।”
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
किनकि उहाँको पूर्णताबाट हामी सबैले अनुग्रहमाथि अनुग्रह पाएका छौँ ।
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
किनकि व्‍यवस्‍था मोशाद्वारा दिइयो । अनुग्रह र सत्‍यता येशू ख्रीष्‍टद्वारा आयो ।
18 No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
कसैले पनि परमेश्‍वरलाई कहिल्‍यै देखेको छैन । पिताको छातीमा अडेस लाग्‍नुहुने एक मात्र परमेश्‍वरले उहाँलाई चिनाउनुभएको छ ।
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
यहूदीहरूले यरूशलेमबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनी सोध्‍न पठाउँदा यूहन्‍नाको गवाही यही हो ।
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
उनले खुला भएर भने, र इन्कार गरेनन्, तर जवाफ दिए, “म ख्रीष्‍ट होइनँ ।”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
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 ।”
22 Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “तिमी को हौ, ताकि हामीलाई पठाउनेहरूलाई हामीले जवाफ दिन सकौँ? तिमी आफ्नै बारेमा के भन्‍छौ?”
23 He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
उनले भने, “म मरुभूमिमा कराइरहेको एउटा आवाज हुँ । ‘परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति बाटो सोझो बनाओ’ जस्तो यशैया अगमवक्‍ताले भने ।”
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
ती पठाइएकाहरू फरिसीहरूबाटका थिए ।
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
तिनीहरूले उनलाई सोधे र भने, “तिमी न ख्रीष्‍ट, न एलिया, न अगमवक्‍ता नै हौ भने किन बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिन्‍छौ?”
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
अनि यूहन्‍नाले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर जवाफ दिए, “म पानीले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिन्‍छु । तर तिमीहरूका माझमा तिमीहरूले नचिनेको कोही खडा हुनुहुन्‍छ,
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
उहाँ जो मपछि आउनुहुन्‍छ, म उहाँको जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्‍न लायकको छैनँ ।”
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
यर्दनको पारिपट्टि बेथानियामा यी कुराहरू गरिएका थिए, जहाँ यूहन्‍नाले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिइरहेका थिए ।
29 The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
अर्को दिन यूहन्‍नाले येशू आफूकहाँ आइरहनुभएको देखे र भने, “हेर, संसारको पाप उठाइलानुहुने परमेश्‍वरका थुमा!
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
म उहाँलाई चिन्‍दिनथेँ, तर उहाँलाई इस्राएलीहरूप्रति प्रकट गराउन सकियोस् भनी म पानीले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै आएँ ।”
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
यूहन्‍नाले यसरी गवाही दिए, “मैले पवित्र आत्‍मा स्‍वर्गबाट ढुकुरझैँ ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि बस्‍नुभएको देखेँ ।
33 And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
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 ।’
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
मैले देखेको, र उहाँ नै परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्‍छ भनेर गवाही दिएको छु ।”
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
फेरि अर्को दिन यूहन्‍ना आफ्ना दुई जना चेलासँग उभिरहँदा,
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
तिनीहरूले येशू त्यही बाटो भएर हिँडिरहनुभएको देखे, र यूहन्‍नाले भने, “हेर, परमेश्‍वरका थुमा!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
यी दुई चेलाले यूहन्‍नाले यसो भनेका सुने, र तिनीहरूले येशूलाई पछ्याए ।
38 Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
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?”
39 He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
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 ।
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
यूहन्‍नाले भनेको सुन्‍ने र येशूलाई पछ्याउनेहरू यी दुई जनामध्‍ये एक जना सिमोन पत्रुसका भाइ अन्‍द्रियास थिए ।
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
अन्‍द्रियासले आफ्ना भाइ सिमोनलाई भेट्टाएर भने, “हामीले मसीह (जसलाई ख्रीष्‍ट भनिन्छ) लाई भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
42 And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
उनले आफ्ना भाइलाई येशूकहाँ ल्‍याए । अनि येशूले उनलाई हेर्नुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमी यूहन्‍नाका छोरा सिमोन हौ । तिमीलाई केफास (जसको अर्थ पत्रुस हो ) भनिनेछ ।
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
अर्को दिन जब येशू गालीलतिर जान त्यस ठाउँलाई छोड्न चाहनुभयो, उहाँले फिलिपलाई भेट्‌नुभयो र उनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई पछ्याऊ ।”
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
फिलिप बेथसेदाका थिए जुन अन्‍द्रियास र पत्रुसको सहर थियो ।
45 Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
फिलिपले नथानेललाई भेटे र उनलाई भने, “मोशाको व्‍यवस्‍थामा र अगमवक्‍ताहरूले लेखेका अर्थात् नासरतका योसेफका छोरो येशूलाई हामीले भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
नथानेलले उनलाई भने, “के नासरतबाट कुनै असल कुरा आउन सक्‍छ र?” फिलिपले उनलाई भने, “आएर हेर!”
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
येशूले नथानेललाई आफूकहाँ आइरहेको देख्‍नुभयो र उनलाई उनको बारेमा भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, कुनै छल नभएका एक इस्राएली!”
48 Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
नथानेलले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईं मलाई कसरी चिन्‍नुहुन्‍छ?” येशूले उनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “फिलिपले बोलाउनुभन्‍दा पहिले तिमी नेभाराको रुखमुनि हुँदा नै मैले तिमीलाई देखेँ ।”
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
नथानेलले जवाफ दिए, “रब्‍बी, तपाईं परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्‍छ! तपाईं इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्‍छ!”
50 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “‘मैले तिमीलाई नेभाराको रुखमुनि देखेँ भनेको कारण, के तिमी मलाई विश्‍वास गर्छौ? तिमीले योभन्‍दा ठुला-ठुला कुराहरू देख्‍नेछौ ।”
51 And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍दछु, “तिमीहरूले स्‍वर्ग उघ्रिएको, अनि परमेश्‍वरका स्‍वर्गदूतहरू मानिसका पुत्रमाथि ओर्लिरहेका र उक्‍लिरहेका देख्‍नेछौ ।”
