< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
सुरुमा वचन हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । वचन परमेश्‍वरसँग हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । अनि वचन नै परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
2 He was in the beginning with God.
उहाँ सुरुदेखि नै परमेश्‍वरसँग हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
सबै थोकहरू उहाँद्वारा बनिए, र बनिएको कुनै पनि थोक उहाँविना बनिएन ।
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
उहाँमा जीवन थियो, अनि त्‍यो जीवन सबै मानिसहरूका लागि ज्‍योति थियो ।
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
ज्‍योति अन्धकारमा चम्‍किन्छ, अनि अन्धकारले यसलाई जितेन ।
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was Yukhanan.
परमेश्‍वरबाट पठाइएका एक जना मानिस थिए, जसको नाउँ यूहन्‍ना थियो ।
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
उहाँद्वारा सबैले विश्‍वास गरून् भनेर उहाँ ज्‍योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन साक्षीको रूपमा आउनुभयो ।
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
यूहन्‍ना ज्‍योति थिएनन्, तर ज्‍योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन भनेर उनी आए ।
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
उहाँ सबै मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुने र संसारमा आउनुहुने सत्‍य ज्‍योति हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
उहाँ संसारमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र संसार उहाँद्वारा नै बनियो, तर संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन ।
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
उहाँ आफ्नैहरूकहाँ आउनुभयो, तर उहाँलाई आफ्नैहरूले स्‍वीकार गरेनन् ।
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
तर जतिले उहाँलाई स्‍वीकार गरे अर्थात् उहाँको नाउँमा विश्‍वास गरे उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरका सन्तानहरू हुने अधिकार दिनुभयो ।
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
यिनीहरू न रगतले, न शारीरिक इच्छाअनुसार, न मानिसको इच्छाअनुसार नै जन्‍मेका थिए, तर परमेश्‍वरबाट जन्‍मेका थिए ।
14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
अनि वचन देहधारी हुनुभयो र हाम्रा बिचमा बास गर्नुभयो । हामीले पिताबाट आउनुभएका एक मात्रको जस्तो अर्थात् अनुग्रह र सत्यताले पूर्ण महिमा देख्यौँ ।
15 Yukhanan testified about him. He shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
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 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
किनकि उहाँको पूर्णताबाट हामी सबैले अनुग्रहमाथि अनुग्रह पाएका छौँ ।
17 For the Law was given through Mushe, grace and truth came through Yeshua Meshikha.
किनकि व्‍यवस्‍था मोशाद्वारा दिइयो । अनुग्रह र सत्‍यता येशू ख्रीष्‍टद्वारा आयो ।
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
कसैले पनि परमेश्‍वरलाई कहिल्‍यै देखेको छैन । पिताको छातीमा अडेस लाग्‍नुहुने एक मात्र परमेश्‍वरले उहाँलाई चिनाउनुभएको छ ।
19 And this is Yukhanan's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Urishlim to ask him, "Who are you?"
यहूदीहरूले यरूशलेमबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनी सोध्‍न पठाउँदा यूहन्‍नाको गवाही यही हो ।
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Meshikha."
उनले खुला भएर भने, र इन्कार गरेनन्, तर जवाफ दिए, “म ख्रीष्‍ट होइनँ ।”
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Eliya?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the 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 They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
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 voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Eshaya the prophet said."
उनले भने, “म मरुभूमिमा कराइरहेको एउटा आवाज हुँ । ‘परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति बाटो सोझो बनाओ’ जस्तो यशैया अगमवक्‍ताले भने ।”
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
ती पठाइएकाहरू फरिसीहरूबाटका थिए ।
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Meshikha, nor Eliya, nor the Prophet?"
तिनीहरूले उनलाई सोधे र भने, “तिमी न ख्रीष्‍ट, न एलिया, न अगमवक्‍ता नै हौ भने किन बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिन्‍छौ?”
26 Yukhanan answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
अनि यूहन्‍नाले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर जवाफ दिए, “म पानीले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिन्‍छु । तर तिमीहरूका माझमा तिमीहरूले नचिनेको कोही खडा हुनुहुन्‍छ,
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
उहाँ जो मपछि आउनुहुन्‍छ, म उहाँको जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्‍न लायकको छैनँ ।”
28 These things were done in Beth-Naiya across the Yurdinan, where Yukhanan was baptizing.
यर्दनको पारिपट्टि बेथानियामा यी कुराहरू गरिएका थिए, जहाँ यूहन्‍नाले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिइरहेका थिए ।
29 The next day, he saw Yeshua coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin 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 said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israyel."
म उहाँलाई चिन्‍दिनथेँ, तर उहाँलाई इस्राएलीहरूप्रति प्रकट गराउन सकियोस् भनी म पानीले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै आएँ ।”
32 And Yukhanan testified, saying, "I saw the Rukha descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
यूहन्‍नाले यसरी गवाही दिए, “मैले पवित्र आत्‍मा स्‍वर्गबाट ढुकुरझैँ ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि बस्‍नुभएको देखेँ ।
33 And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Rukha descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Rukha d'Qudsha.'
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 have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
मैले देखेको, र उहाँ नै परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्‍छ भनेर गवाही दिएको छु ।”
35 Again, the next day, Yukhanan was standing with two of his disciples,
फेरि अर्को दिन यूहन्‍ना आफ्ना दुई जना चेलासँग उभिरहँदा,
36 and he looked at Yeshua as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
तिनीहरूले येशू त्यही बाटो भएर हिँडिरहनुभएको देखे, र यूहन्‍नाले भने, “हेर, परमेश्‍वरका थुमा!”
37 And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
यी दुई चेलाले यूहन्‍नाले यसो भनेका सुने, र तिनीहरूले येशूलाई पछ्याए ।
38 And Yeshua turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
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 said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
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 One of the two who heard Yukhanan, and followed him, was Andreus, Shimon Kipha's brother.
यूहन्‍नाले भनेको सुन्‍ने र येशूलाई पछ्याउनेहरू यी दुई जनामध्‍ये एक जना सिमोन पत्रुसका भाइ अन्‍द्रियास थिए ।
41 He first found his own brother, Shimon, and said to him, "We have found the Meshikha." (which is translated, Anointed One).
अन्‍द्रियासले आफ्ना भाइ सिमोनलाई भेट्टाएर भने, “हामीले मसीह (जसलाई ख्रीष्‍ट भनिन्छ) लाई भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
42 He brought him to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him, and said, "You are Shimon the son of Yukhanan. You shall be called Kipha" (which is translated, rock).
उनले आफ्ना भाइलाई येशूकहाँ ल्‍याए । अनि येशूले उनलाई हेर्नुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमी यूहन्‍नाका छोरा सिमोन हौ । तिमीलाई केफास (जसको अर्थ पत्रुस हो ) भनिनेछ ।
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galila, and he found Philipus. And Yeshua said to him, "Follow me."
अर्को दिन जब येशू गालीलतिर जान त्यस ठाउँलाई छोड्न चाहनुभयो, उहाँले फिलिपलाई भेट्‌नुभयो र उनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई पछ्याऊ ।”
44 Now Philipus was from Beth-Sayada, of the city of Andreus and Kipha.
फिलिप बेथसेदाका थिए जुन अन्‍द्रियास र पत्रुसको सहर थियो ।
45 Philipus found Nathanayil, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Mushe in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Yeshua of Natsrath, the son of Yauseph."
फिलिपले नथानेललाई भेटे र उनलाई भने, “मोशाको व्‍यवस्‍थामा र अगमवक्‍ताहरूले लेखेका अर्थात् नासरतका योसेफका छोरो येशूलाई हामीले भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
46 And Nathanayil said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Natsrath?" Philipus said to him, "Come and see."
नथानेलले उनलाई भने, “के नासरतबाट कुनै असल कुरा आउन सक्‍छ र?” फिलिपले उनलाई भने, “आएर हेर!”
47 Yeshua saw Nathanayil coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israyelite in whom there is no deceit."
येशूले नथानेललाई आफूकहाँ आइरहेको देख्‍नुभयो र उनलाई उनको बारेमा भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, कुनै छल नभएका एक इस्राएली!”
48 Nathanayil said to him, "How do you know me?" Yeshua answered him, "Before Philipus called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
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 Nathanayil answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israyel."
नथानेलले जवाफ दिए, “रब्‍बी, तपाईं परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्‍छ! तपाईं इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्‍छ!”
50 Yeshua answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than 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 said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍दछु, “तिमीहरूले स्‍वर्ग उघ्रिएको, अनि परमेश्‍वरका स्‍वर्गदूतहरू मानिसका पुत्रमाथि ओर्लिरहेका र उक्‍लिरहेका देख्‍नेछौ ।”
