John 1
1 In the beginning, was the Word; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God.
Tamin’ ny voalohany ny Teny, ary ny Teny tao amin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Teny dia Andriamanitra.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Izy dia tao amin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny voalohany.
3 Every thing was by his hand; and without him, was not any thing whatever that existed.
Izy no nahariana ny zavatra rehetra; ary raha tsy Izy dia tsy nisy nahariana izao zavatra ary izao, na dia iray aza.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of man.
Izy no nisiam-piainana; ary ny fiainana no fanazavana ny olona.
5 And this light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
Ary ny mazava dia mamirapiratra ao amin’ ny maizina; fa ny maizina tsy nandray azy.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Nisy lehilahy nirahin’ Andriamanitra, Jaona no anarany.
7 He came for testimony, to bear witness concerning the light.
Izy tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava, mba hinoan’ ny olona rehetra noho ny teniny.
8 He was not himself the light, but came to bear witness concerning the light.
Tsy izy anefa no Ilay Mazava, fa tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava ihany izy.
9 The true light was that, which enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
Tao ny tena Mazava Izay mahazava ny olona rehetra tonga amin’ izao tontolo izao.
10 He was in the world; and the world was by his hand; and the world did not know him.
Teo amin’ izao tontolo izao Izy, ary Izy no nanaovana izao tontolo izao, nefa izao tontolo izao tsy nahalala Azy.
11 He came to his own people; and his own people received him not.
Tonga tany amin’ ny Azy Izy, fa ny Azy tsy nandray Azy.
12 But such as received him, to them gave he the prerogative to be children of God; even to them that believe on his name;
Fa izay rehetra nandray Azy dia nomeny hery ho tonga zanak’ Andriamanitra, dia izay mino ny anarany,
13 who are born, not of blood, nor of the pleasure of the flesh, nor of the pleasure of man, but of God.
dia ireo izay tsy nateraky ny rà, na ny sitrapon’ ny nofo, na ny sitrapon’ ny olona, fa naterak’ Andriamanitra.
14 And the: Word became flesh, and tabernacled with us: and we saw his glory, a glory as of the only begotten from the Father, that he was full of grace and truth.
Ary ny Teny dia tonga nofo ka nonina tamintsika; ary hitanay ny voninahiny, dia voninahitra miendrika ho an’ ny Lahitokana avy tamin’ ny Ray, sady feno fahasoavana sy fahamarinana.
15 John testified of him, and cried, and said: This is he, of whom I said, That he cometh after me, and is before me; for he was prior to me.
Jaona nanambara Azy ka niantso hoe: Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Izay avy
16 And of his plenitude have we all received, and grace for grace.
Fa tamin’ ny fahafenoany no nandraisantsika rehetra, dia fahasoavana anampy fahasoavana.
17 For the law was given by the hand of Moses; but the reality and grace was by the hand of Jesus Messiah.
Fa ny lalàna dia nomena tamin’ ny alalan’ i Mosesy; fa ny fahasoavana sy ny fahamarinana kosa dia tonga tamin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy.
18 No man hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
Tsy nisy nahita an’ Andriamanitra na oviana na oviana; fa ny Zanakalahy Tokana, Izay ao an-tratran’ ny Ray, Izy no nanambara Azy.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews of Jerusalem sent to him priests and Levites, to ask him, Who art thou?
Ary izao no nambaran’ i Jaona, raha ny Jiosy naniraka mpisorona sy Levita avy tany Jerosalema hankany aminy mba hanontany azy hoe: Iza moa ianao?
20 And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed I am not the Messiah.
Ary nilaza marina izy ka tsy nandà, fa hoy ny filàzany: Tsy izaho no Kristy.
21 And they asked him again: Who then? Art thou Elijah? And he said: I am not. Art thou a prophet? And he said, No.
Ary izy ireo nanontany azy hoe: Ahoana ary? Elia va ianao? Fa hoy izy: Tsy izy aho. Ilay Mpaminany va ianao? Fa izy namaly hoe: Tsia.
22 And they said to him: Who art thou? that we may give answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Iza ary ianao? mba hitondranay valiny ho any amin’ izay naniraka anay. Lazainao ho iza moa ny tenanao?
23 He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make smooth the way of the Lord; as said the prophet Isaiah.
Dia hoy izy: Izaho dia feon’ ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan’ i Jehovah, araka izay nolazain’ Isaia mpaminany.
24 And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.
Ary iraka avy tamin’ ny Fariseo ireo.
25 And they asked him, and said to him: Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor a prophet?
Dia nanontany azy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ary ianao no manao batisa raha tsy ianao no Kristy, na Elia, na Ilay Mpaminany?
26 John answered, and said to them; I baptize with water; but among you standeth one, whom ye do not know.
Jaona namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Izaho manao batisa amin’ ny rano; fa eto aminareo misy Anankiray Izay tsy fantatrareo,
27 He it is that cometh after me, and was before me, whose shoe-strings I am not worthy to untie.
dia Ilay avy ao aoriako, ary tsy miendrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.
28 These things occurred in Bethany, where John was baptizing.
Izany zavatra izany dia natao tany Betania any an-dafin’ i Jordana, izay nanaovan’ i Jaona batisa.
29 The day after, John saw Jesus coming towards him, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God, that beareth the sin of the world.
Nony ampitso dia nahita an’ i Jesosy avy manatona azy Jaona, ka dia hoy izy: Indro ny Zanak’ ondrin’ Andriamanitra, Izay manaisotra ny fahotan’ izao tontolo izao!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is before me, for he was prior to me.
Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Misy Lehilahy avy ao aoriako Izay efa tonga eo alohako, satria talohako Izy.
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be known to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa mba haseho amin’ ny Isiraely Izy, izany no nihaviako manao batisa amin’ ny rano.
32 And John testified, and said: I saw the Spirit descend from heaven, as a dove, and rest upon him.
Ary Jaona nanambara ka nanao hoe: Izaho nahita ny Fanahy midìna avy any an-danitra tahaka ny voro-mailala ka nitoetra teo amboniny.
33 And I did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me- On whom thou seest the Spirit descend, and rest upon him, he baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa Izay naniraka ahy hanao batisa amin’ ny rano no nilaza tamiko hoe: Izay ho hitanao idinan’ ny Fanahy sy itoerany, dia Izy no Mpanao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.
34 And I saw; and I testify, that this is the Son of God.
Ary nahita aho, ka dia nanambara fa Izy no Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
35 And the next day, John was standing, and two of his disciples.
Nony ampitson’ iny indray dia nijanona Jaona sy ny mpianany roa lahy;
36 And he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God!
ary nijery an’ i Jesosy nitsangantsangana izy ka nanao hoe: Indro ny Zanak’ ondrin’ Andriamanitra!
37 And his two disciples heard him when he said it, and they went after Jesus.
Ary ireo mpianatra roa lahy ireo, rehefa nandre azy niteny, dia nanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
38 And Jesus turned, and saw them coming after him, and he said to them: What seek ye? They said to him: Our Rabbi, where stayest thou?
Ary Jesosy nitodika ka nahita azy manaraka, dia nanao taminy hoe: Inona no tadiavinareo? Ary hoy izy roa lahy taminy: Raby (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Mpampianatra ô), aiza Hianao no mitoetra?
39 He said to them: Come, and see. And they came and saw where he lodged; and they were with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
Hoy Izy taminy: Avia, fa ho hitanareo. Koa dia nandeha izy ka nahita izay nitoerany ary nitoetra teo aminy tamin’ izany andro izany; ary efa tokony ho ora fahafolo tamin’ izay.
40 And one of those who heard John and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon.
Andrea, rahalahin’ i Simona Petera, no anankiray tamin’ izy roa lahy, izay nandre ny tenin’ i Jaona ka nanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
41 He first saw Simon his brother, and said to him: We have found the Messiah.
Izy no nahita an’ i Simona rahalahiny aloha, dia hoy izy taminy: Efa nahita ny Mesia izahay (izay atso hoe, raha adika, ny Kristy).
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looked upon him, and said Thou art Simon the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas.
Dia nitondra azy ho any amin’ i Jesosy izy. Ary nony nijery azy Jesosy, dia hoy Izy: Hianao no Simona, zanak’ i Jaona; ianao hatao hoe Kefasy (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Petera)
43 The next day, Jesus was disposed to depart for Galilee: and he found Philip and said to him, Come after me.
Nony ampitso dia te-hiala ho any Galilia Jesosy, ary nahita an’ i Filipo Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Manaraha Ahy.
44 And Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Simon.
Ary Filipo dia avy any Betsaida, tanànan’ i Andrea sy Petera.
45 And Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him, of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
Filipo kosa nahita an’ i Natanaela ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa hitanay Ilay nosoratan’ i Mosesy tao amin’ ny lalàna, sy nosoratan’ ny mpaminany, dia Jesosy, zanak’ i Josefa, avy any Nazareta.
46 Nathaniel said to him: Can there be any good thing from Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come, and see.
Ary hoy Natanaela taminy: Moa mba misy zava-tsoa va avy any Nazareta? Dia hoy Filipo taminy: Andeha hizaha.
47 And Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards him, and said of him: Behold a real Israelite, in whom is no deceit.
Jesosy nahita an’ i Natanaela avy manatona Azy, dia nilaza azy hoe: Indro ny tena Isiraelita tsy misy fitaka.
48 Nathaniel said to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus said to him: Before Philip called thee when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Hoy Natanaela taminy: Ahoana no ahafantaranao ahy? Dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Fony tsy mbola niantso anao Filipo, dia hitako teo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianao.
49 Nathaniel answered, and said to him: Rabbi; thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Dia namaly Natanaela ka nanao hoe: Raby ô, Hianao no Zanak’ Andriamanitra; Hianao no Mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
50 Jesus said to him: Because I said to thee, that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou wilt see greater things than these.
Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa ny nilazako taminao va fa hitako teo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianao no inoanao? Hahita zavatra lehibe noho izany ianao.
51 He said to him: Verily, verily, I say to you, That hereafter ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending unto the Son of man.
Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Ho hitanareo ny lanitra misokatra sy ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra miakatra sy midìna eo ambonin’ ny Zanak’ olona.
