< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was face to face with God, and the Word was God.
ᏗᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎡᎮᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎠᏁᎮᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎨᏎᎢ.
2 He was face to face with God in the Beginning.
ᏗᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎠᏁᎮᎢ.
3 All things came into being through him, and apart from him nothing that exists came into being.
ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏬᏢᏁᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᏢᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ ᎥᏝ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏬᏢᏅᎾ ᏱᎩ.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
ᎾᏍᎩ [ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ] ᎬᏂᏛ ᎤᏪᎮᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏂᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎢᎦ ᎤᎾᏘᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎨᏎᎢ.
5 And the light is shining in the darkness, and the darkness has not overwhelmed it
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏏᎬ ᏚᎸᏌᏕᎢ, ᎤᎵᏏᎩᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏱᏚᏓᏂᎸᏤᎢ.
6 A man came into being, sent from God, whose name was John.
ᎩᎶ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᎡᎲᎩ ᏣᏂ ᏧᏙᎢᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏅᏓᏳᏅᏏᏛ ᎨᏒᎩ.
7 He came as a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light - so that all men might believe through him.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎷᏨᎩ ᎧᏃᎮᏍᎩ ᎨᏒᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ ᎤᏃᎮᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎤᏃᎯᏳᏗᏱ.
8 He was not the Light; it was to bear testimony concerning the Light that he came into being.
ᎥᏝ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ, ᎧᏃᎮᏍᎩᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏒᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ.
9 The true Light, which enlightens every man, was then coming into the world.
ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ Ꮎ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᏒ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ ᎨᏒᎩ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏧᎷᏨ, ᎢᎦ ᏥᏕᎠᏘᏍᏓᏁ ᎾᏂᎥ ᏴᏫ.
10 He was in the world, and through him the world came into being, yet the world knew him not.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎡᎲᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎤᏬᏢᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎥᏝ ᏳᏬᎵᏤᎢ.
11 He came to his own creation, and his own folk welcomed him not.
ᎤᏤᎵᎪᎯ ᎤᎷᏨᎩ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏧᏤᎵ ᎥᏝ ᏱᏗᎬᏩᏓᏂᎸᏤᎢ.
12 But to all who receive him, to them he has given the right to become children of God, even to those who trust in his name;
ᎾᏂᎥᏍᎩᏂ ᏗᎬᏩᏓᏂᎸᏨᎯ ᏕᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅ Ꭿ ᏧᏪᏥ ᎢᏳᎾᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᏕᎤᏙᎥ ᎠᏃᎯᏳᎲᏍᎩ;
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh and tented with us. And we gazed on his glory - glory as of the Father’s only Son - full of grace and truth.
ᎠᎴ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏕᎲ ᎤᎴᏂᏙᎸᎩ, ᎤᎧᎵᏨᎯ ᎨᏒᎩ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏣᏛ ᎠᎴ ᏚᏳᎪᏛᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎢᏗᎪᏩᏘᏍᎬᎩ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎤᏩᏒᎯᏳ ᎤᏕᏁᎸᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎨᏒᎩ.
15 John bore witness 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.’"
ᏣᏂ ᎧᏃᎮᏍᎬᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ [ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ, ] ᎠᎴ ᎤᏪᎷᏅᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ; ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏥᏃᎮᏍᎬᎩ, ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᏥᏪᏍᎬᎩ, ᎣᏂ ᏨᏓᏯᎢ ᎢᎬᏱ ᎠᎦᎴᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎡᎲᎩ ᎠᏏ ᏂᎨᎥᎾ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ.
16 For out of his fulness we have all received, yes, grace upon grace.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎧᎵᏨᎯ ᎨᏒ ᏂᏗᎥ ᎡᎩᏁᎸᎯ, ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯᏰᏃ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎶᏏᎶᏛ ᎡᎩᏁᎸ.
17 For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

18 No man has ever seen God; God, only begotten, who is in the bosom of the Father - he has interpreted him.
ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏱᎬᏩᎪᎰ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ; ᎤᏩᏒᎯᏳ ᎤᏕᏁᎸᎯ ᎤᏪᏥ, ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎦᏁᏥᎢ ᎡᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏄᏩᏁᎸ.
19 Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent some priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏣᏂ ᎤᏃᎮᎸᎯ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᏥᎷᏏᎵᎻ ᏙᏧᏂᏅᏒ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎠᏁᎶᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᎵᏫ ᎬᏩᏛᏛᏗᏱ, ᎯᎠ ᎢᏳᏂᏪᏍᏗᏱ; ᎦᎪ ᏂᎯ?
20 He acknowledged - he did not deny it - but acknowledged, "I am not the Christ."
ᎠᎴ Ꭴ’ᏃᏅᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᏳᏓᏱᎴᎢ, Ꭴ’ᏃᏅᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ; ᎥᏝ ᎠᏴ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏱᎩ.
21 "What then?" they questioned; "Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he replied.
ᎠᎴ ᎥᎬᏩᏛᏛᏅᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᎦᎪᎨ? ᎢᎳᏯᏍᎪ ᏂᎯ? ᎯᎠᏃ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ; ᎥᏝ. ᏥᎪᎨ Ꮎ ᎠᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ ᏂᎯ? ᎥᏝ, ᎤᏛᏅᎩ.
22 Then said they to him. "Who are you? That we may give some answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏅᎬᏩᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎦᎪ ᏂᎯ? ᏫᏙᏥᏃᏁᏗᏱᏰᏃ ᏅᏓᎪᎩᏅᏒᎯ; ᎦᏙ ᎭᏗᎭ ᏨᏒ ᎭᏓᏃᎮᏍᎬᎢ?
23 He said, "I am a voice of one who cries aloud in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as said the prophet Isaiah."

24 Now it was some of the Pharisees who had been sent to him;
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ Ꮎ ᏅᏓᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ ᎠᏂᏆᎵᏏᏱ ᎤᎾᎵᎪᎯ ᎨᏒᎩ.
25 so they questioned him, saying, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
ᎬᏩᏛᏛᏅᎩᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎬᏩᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎦᏙᏃ ᏥᏕᎭᏓᏬᏍᎦ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎴ ᎢᎳᏯ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏱᎩ?
26 "I indeed am baptizing in water," John said in reply, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not recognize,

28 This happened in Bethany, beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said. "Behold, that is God’s Lamb, who takes and bears away the sin of the world.

30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes One who has been put before me, for he was before me.’

31 I myself did not recognize him; I only came baptizing in water, in order that he might be openly shown to Israel."
ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᎥᏝ ᏱᏥᎦᏔᎮᎢ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏏᎵ ᎨᏥᎾᏄᎪᏫᏎᏗᏱ ᏅᏧᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅ ᎠᎩᎷᏨ ᎠᎹ ᏕᎦᏓᏬᏍᏗᎭ.
32 John also bore this testimony, saying. "I saw the Spirit like a dove descend from heaven and rest upon him.

33 And I did not recognize him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and resting upon him, is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

34 This I have seen, and I am become a witness to the fact that he is the Son of God."

35 Next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples.
ᎠᎴᏬ ᎤᎩᏨᏛ ᏣᏂ ᎦᏙᎬᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᏔᎵ ᎬᏩᏍᏓᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᏓᏂᏙᎬᎩ.
36 After gazing intently on Jesus as he walked about, he said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"

37 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.

38 Then Jesus turned and saw them following him, and said, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated ‘Teacher’), "where are you staying?"

39 He said to them, "Come, and you shall see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four o’clock in the afternoon.

40 One of the two men who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

41 In the morning he found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (a word which means Christ, the Anointed One).

42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked intently at him and said. "You are Simon, son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (or ‘Peter,’ which means ‘Rock’).

43 Next day Jesus decided to go into Galilee; and he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."

44 Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.

45 Then Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found him about whom Moses wrote in the Law, as did the prophets - Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph’s son."

46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

48 "How do you know me?" asked Nathanael. "Before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
