John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Pada mulanya, sebelum dunia dijadikan, Sabda sudah ada. Sabda ada bersama Allah dan Sabda sama dengan Allah.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Sejak semula Ia bersama Allah.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Segalanya dijadikan melalui Dia, dan dari segala yang ada, tak satu pun dijadikan tanpa Dia.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Sabda itu sumber hidup, dan hidup memberi terang kepada manusia.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Terang itu bercahaya dalam kegelapan, dan kegelapan tak dapat memadamkannya.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.
Datanglah orang yang diutus Allah, Yohanes namanya.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear testimony of the Light, that all [men] through him might believe.
Ia datang mewartakan tentang terang itu, supaya semua orang percaya.
8 He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear testimony of that Light.
Ia sendiri bukan terang itu, ia hanya mewartakannya.
9 [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Terang sejati yang menerangi semua manusia, datang ke dunia.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Sabda ada di dunia, dunia dijadikan melalui Dia, tetapi dunia tidak mengenal-Nya.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Ia datang ke negeri-Nya sendiri tetapi bangsa-Nya tidak menerima Dia.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Namun ada juga orang yang menerima Dia dan percaya kepada-Nya; mereka diberi-Nya hak menjadi anak Allah,
13 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
yang dilahirkan bukan dari manusia, sebab hidup baru itu dari Allah asalnya.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
Sabda sudah menjadi manusia, Ia tinggal di antara kita, dan kita sudah melihat keagungan-Nya. Keagungan itu diterima-Nya sebagai Anak tunggal Bapa. Melalui Dia kita melihat Allah dan kasih-Nya kepada kita.
15 John testified concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me, is preferred before me; for he was before me.
Yohanes datang sebagai saksi-Nya, ia mewartakan: "Inilah Dia yang kukatakan: Dia akan datang lebih kemudian dari aku, tetapi lebih besar dari aku, sebab sebelum aku ada, Dia sudah ada."
16 And of his fullness have we all received, and grace for grace.
Ia penuh kasih; tiada hentinya, Ia memberkati kita.
17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Hukum Tuhan kita terima melalui Musa. Tetapi kasih dan kesetiaan Allah dinyatakan melalui Yesus Kristus.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
Tak ada yang pernah melihat Allah, selain anak tunggal Bapa, yang sama dengan Bapa dan erat sekali kepada-Nya. Dialah yang menyatakan Bapa kepada kita.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Para penguasa Yahudi di Yerusalem menyuruh imam-imam dan orang-orang Lewi pergi kepada Yohanes dan menanyakan kepadanya, "Engkau ini siapa?"
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Yohanes mengaku dengan terus terang, "Saya bukan Raja Penyelamat."
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? and he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
"Kalau begitu, engkau siapa?" tanya mereka. "Apakah engkau Elia?" "Bukan," jawab Yohanes. "Apakah engkau Sang Nabi?" tanya mereka lagi. "Bukan," jawabnya.
22 Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
"Kalau begitu, katakanlah kepada kami siapa engkau ini," kata mereka, "supaya kami dapat memberi jawaban kepada orang-orang yang menyuruh kami. Apa katamu tentang dirimu sendiri?"
23 He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
Yohanes menjawab, "Sayalah dia yang dikatakan oleh Nabi Yesaya: 'Orang yang berseru di padang pasir: Ratakanlah jalan untuk Tuhan.'"
24 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees.
Orang-orang yang diutus oleh orang Farisi
25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
bertanya, "Kalau engkau bukan Raja Penyelamat, bukan Elia, bukan juga Sang Nabi, mengapa engkau membaptis?"
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
Yohanes menjawab, "Saya membaptis dengan air. Tetapi di tengah-tengah kalian ada orang yang tidak kalian kenal.
27 He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes' latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
Ia datang lebih kemudian dari saya, tetapi untuk membuka tali sepatu-Nya pun saya tidak layak."
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Semuanya itu terjadi di Betania, sebelah timur Sungai Yordan tempat Yohanes membaptis.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
Keesokan harinya, Yohanes melihat Yesus datang kepadanya. Lalu Yohanes berkata, "Lihat, itulah Anak Domba Allah yang menghapus dosa dunia.
30 This is he of whom I said, after me cometh a man who is preferred before me; for he was before me.
Dialah yang saya katakan akan datang kemudian dari saya, tetapi lebih besar dari saya, sebab sebelum saya lahir, Dia sudah ada.
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Sebelumnya, saya tidak tahu siapa Dia itu. Padahal saya datang membaptis dengan air supaya bangsa Israel mengenal Dia."
32 And John bore testimony, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
Yohanes juga memberi kesaksian ini, "Saya melihat Roh Allah turun seperti merpati dari langit lalu tinggal di atas-Nya.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
Waktu itu saya belum tahu siapa Dia. Tetapi Allah yang menyuruh saya membaptis dengan air sudah berkata kepada saya, 'Bila engkau melihat Roh Allah turun, lalu tinggal di atas seseorang, Dialah yang akan membaptis dengan Roh Allah.'
34 And I saw and bore testimony, that this is the Son of God.
Saya sudah melihat-Nya sendiri," kata Yohanes, "dan saya memberi kesaksian bahwa Dialah Anak Allah."
35 Again the next day after, John stood, and two of his disciples;
Keesokan harinya Yohanes ada di tempat itu lagi dengan dua pengikutnya.
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
Ketika ia melihat Yesus lewat, ia berkata, "Lihat! Itulah Anak Domba Allah."
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Kedua pengikut Yohanes mendengar kata-kata itu, lalu pergi mengikuti Yesus.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith to them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master) where dwellest thou?
Yesus menoleh ke belakang, dan melihat mereka sedang mengikuti Dia. Ia bertanya, "Kalian mencari apa?" Jawab mereka, "Rabi, di manakah Rabi tinggal?" (Kata 'Rabi' artinya guru.)
39 He saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
"Mari lihat sendiri," kata Yesus. Mereka pergi dengan Dia dan melihat di mana Ia tinggal. Waktu itu pukul empat sore. Hari itu mereka tinggal bersama Dia.
40 One of the two who heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Salah satu dari kedua orang yang telah mendengar apa yang dikatakan Yohanes dan kemudian pergi mengikuti Yesus, adalah Andreas, saudara Simon Petrus.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Cepat-cepat Andreas mencari Simon, saudaranya, dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami sudah bertemu dengan Mesias!" (Mesias sama dengan Kristus, yaitu: Raja Penyelamat.)
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas; which is, by interpretation, a stone.
Andreas mengantar Simon kepada Yesus. Yesus menatap Simon, lalu berkata, "Engkau Simon, anak Yona. Engkau akan disebut Kefas." (Kefas sama dengan Petrus, artinya: gunung batu.)
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, follow me.
Keesokan harinya Yesus memutuskan untuk pergi ke Galilea. Ia berjumpa dengan Filipus, dan berkata kepadanya, "Mari ikut Aku!"
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipus berasal dari Betsaida, yaitu tempat tinggal Andreas dan Petrus.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Filipus bertemu dengan Natanael dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami sudah menemukan orang yang disebut oleh Musa dalam Buku Hukum Allah, dan yang diwartakan oleh nabi-nabi. Dia itu Yesus dari Nazaret, anak Yusuf."
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Tetapi Natanael menjawab, "Mungkinkah sesuatu yang baik datang dari Nazaret?" "Mari lihat sendiri," jawab Filipus.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Yesus melihat Natanael datang, lalu berkata tentang dia, "Lihat, itu orang Israel sejati. Tak ada kepalsuan padanya."
48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
"Bagaimana Bapak mengenal saya?" tanya Natanael kepada Yesus. Yesus menjawab, "Sebelum Filipus memanggilmu, Aku sudah melihat engkau di bawah pohon ara itu."
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
"Bapak Guru," kata Natanael, "Bapak adalah Anak Allah! Bapaklah Raja bangsa Israel!"
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.
Yesus berkata, "Engkau percaya, hanya karena Aku mengatakan bahwa Aku sudah melihat engkau di bawah pohon ara itu? Hal-hal yang jauh lebih besar dari itu akan kaulihat!"
51 And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Kata Yesus pula, "Sungguh, percayalah, engkau akan melihat langit terbuka, dan malaikat-malaikat Allah naik turun pada Anak Manusia."
